Getting tight at the top, lads. I'll take 59 this week.
Fantasy Football 2017/18
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
Weird, still shows as 7 despite players today having gotten their bonuses. A certain time that it gets updated?
Worst GW of the season for me, so far. Dropped around 30 places in the Caf league and gone from 2nd to 4th in my work league. Need to get it together sharp!
Another awful week for me too. Still got 4 flags too with Mee, Kiko, Richarlison and Morata. Did Kiko not come on off the bench the other night?
Gonna assume Morata and Mee are ready to play at the weekend and am prepared to sit tight with Richarlison too with their games coming up.
Think I'll bang the armband on Morata for this gw and resist the temptation to tit about for once.

Me too, I've got players all about to fall in price Walker, Gross (just did), Mee, but if the go down 0.1 it won't effect my sale price. I think they will both play this weekend.
Decided to go 5 at the back this week. Walker - Kenny - Jones - Mee - Kabalase.
Armband on Morata is bold, I suppose if he plays its a reasonable shout and if he doesn't you pick a decent VC and it's all good.
Strikers have been the big talking point all season - I’ve gone from feeling there was an abundance of options and squeezing in three big hitters, to now feeling like there’s very few strikers I actually want.
I’m playing Vardy as a third striker at the moment but he’s not really delivering. Kane remains inconsistent for his price and Lukaku has been poor. Morata I am happy with but even then he’s not performing to the same level as some cheaper midfielders.

Agree, it's fecking annoying. Feel like sometimes I'd rather just play 1-5-5! I've been tempted to just go with Kane up top and DCL, Crouch or someone on both sitting on the bench. You could get 5 solid midfields out there and probably a decent back 4.
Kane is the highest ranking striker this year, but when de Gea has the same amount of points you kind of see the potential for even more glory. No way I am trading out Kane though, he is suddenly going to bang in seven goals in two games.
The way they've distributed points this year and made minor tweaks to the bonus points system, seems to try to even out the field. What i mean is that in the past most FPL squads would focus on heavy hitting forwards (like your Lukakus, Kanes, Agueros and Moratas). This year I feel like you only need one heavy-hitting forward from a top 6 side (maybe not Firmino). That combined with a focus on grabbing defenders from defensively solid teams (Smalling, Ottamendi, Chrsitenson) and a couple of attack-minded midfielders (Hazard, Salah, Silva) should see you do decently.
I honestly think the majority of the points I have this season come from defenders and goalkeepers (maybe the rest of the team is crap
).Starting XI this week:
Foster
Kenny Christensen Simpson
Sterling Salah Hazard(c) Richarlison
Aguero Kane Calvert-Lewin

Morata is injured, isn't he?
I transferred out Morata and Niasse for Vardy and Adam, lol

Morata has been training this week.
Going in this weekend with:
Forster
Jones, Kenny, Monreal
Silva, Salah, Hazard, Richarlison, Gross
Kane, Morata.
Elliott, Niasse, Long, Mbemba
Captaincy dilemma again given how my previous few GWs have been terrible in terms of choosing the captain.

Nice team, this week I'm playing...
--------------Courtois------------
Holgate------Lindelof------Otamendi
Hazard----Salah----Son----Sterling
Rooney--------Vardy--------Firmino
Subs - Richarlison, Mee, Rosenior
Not sure where to put the captaincy though...
The feck is Adam?
Realizing I'm horribly wrong with my captain-picks this year - Who do I put the captain-band on? And who should I bench?
At the moment:
De Gea
Christensen - Smalling - Mustafi
Richarlison - Sterling - Coutinho - Salah - Silva
Morata - Firmino
Subs: Calvert Lewin - Mee - Otamendi

I've stuck it on Morata this week. So don't do that.
Maybe you could follow the example of this guy - put his armband on Salah for week one and then hasn't touched his team since then. Overall rank 11th
Put captain on Salah. Bournemouth will get ripped apart by Liverpool I feel

That's insane lol
Yeah, im gonna go with Salah. At least he's consistent and gets into advanced positions. I've only hit a captain with 2 digits 1 or 2 times. Numerous times I've got 2-4 points including the double up. Terrible.
Don’t know who to cap this gw.
Choice between Kane, Aguero, Salah, KDB. So hard to choose, even considering capping De Gea
Anyone else think Salah will be rested today?

I capped Salah. Was between him, Morata, Hazard and Kane.
I feel like after Pools last draw they will wanna go big today.
same here, im torn between kane - firmino - KDB and DDG
Why the feck isn't Kolasanic playing
He didn't start, so there's that.When I did my transfers yesterday, he was 50%
Ever since I got Hazard, he has done jackshit for that price tag.
I am thinking of bringing in Pogba in place of Hazard and upgrading my defence with the spare funds.

And now Silva isn't even in the squad.
This GW for my team would be the worst one ever.

No Kolasanac and no Silva and no Long or Ward...
Well at least I needed either a Lossi cs or Doucoure to score and he did. Gonna be a shite week though. My only hope of getting anywhere is Salah as no one else has him captained.

Silva out for «personal reasons»
What’s that about?

Having an horrid week.
Arsenal and Burnley keep clean sheets but no Ward or Kolasanic. Hazard blanks, as do Richarlison and Gross.
Need Salah, DDG, Aguero or Kane to deliver.

I've had a mare. Benched Pope AND Mee as I got a really strong feeling Gross was going to do something this game week. Never ever go for instinct > your head! No one to blame but myself. Went for DDG and Jones instead, so if we can get a clean sheet against WBA, no harm done.
So kun and Kane blanked. Over to my final throw off the dice: Salah (c) DDG and Calvert Lewin
I've got these exact 3 (plus Jones) to play tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Those 2 Sterling goals have stopped me from having a pretty shambolic gw.
37 with jones, salah and Naughton to go. Salah needs to blank or do minimum. Sterling the saviour so far.
I can confirm Salah will blank as I have captained him this weekend.
43 with Salah, Coutinho, Kenny and Calvert Lewin to play. And that's with the inevitable captain cock up with Morata.
The one thing I did do correctly was benching Ottamendi over Mee.
Pog is back next gw isn't he? Might be time to get him in.

Talks of Silva's absence being more serious than expected. Pogba in maybe
