Shame we had no leaks. Could have done Bamford to Antonio and benched Greenwood.
Fantasy Premier League 20/21
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
feck sake !!! Bamford
My 50/50s were 1-2 transfers (stuck with one. In hindsight, shouldn't have done last week's and would've had two today), Greenwood (benched, good as I didn't pick him) and an outside pick like Grealish (see how that pans out).
GOOD LUCK ALL
GOOD LUCK ALL
Forster not playing but everyone else starting for me. Harrison hat-trick please.
Is he dropped?
Thank God I picked Antonio over Bamford. Oh and feck you Ole.
Three of my five transfers in benched. See you next year, folks, I'm off to scream into a pillow.
My rival made some odd transfers and we've the same captain. He also spent 4 points. 29 point lead for me and nothing to fear there.
No goalkeeper for me now. Not a great start!
Greenwood and Bamford benched. Not totally unexpected, but we will see if Greenwood starts the final or not?
Bamford benched is a huge surprise.
Greenwood benched an arse. Either need him to come on and score, or not at all and get Holding.
Gutted Dias starts too! Need them to concede

Greenwood my only starter benched and Targett will come off the bench if he gets no minutes. Not ideal but not too bad.
My rival has surprised me.
Left Bruno in. Didn't do a differential captain - gone Salah like me. Just did Godfrey to Phillips.
As Bruno isn't in the squad, and Lindelof surely doesn't come on - he gets Lingard and Dias in.
That means it's a case of
Me----Johnstone, TAA, Greenwood, Antonio, Watkins
v
Him----Martinez, Phillips, Dias, Willock, Nacho
21 points up.
Won't half cheer any attacking spoils for TAA/Antonio/Watkins!
@Dirty Schwein, @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson , @CassiusClaymore what do you make of my opponent's moves?

Hmm. Fabianski was fit. Transferring him to Ederson seems a waste now, but to be fair, there was no news he would make it. Forster didn't start either so would have been a huge gamble.
Otherwise, everyone starts in my team except for Bamford. Imagine he comes off the bench, otherwise Digne comes on...

I would only fear Nacho from those in terms of getting 2 returns or more. If Phillips scores more than TAA you got bad luck. Dias 6 points I think. Martinez probably not a clean sheet. Willock I do not think will go mad, but he could score again.
Sorry, I forget to say the guy I work with (big Leeds fan and FF player) told me he'd heard Bamford out/Rodrigo in.
Can't wait to see opponents final XIs as they had Bamford, Coleman, couple of others.
That City team is pretty strong?!
Looked to cover your LFC defender?
Odd and wimpy if behind.
I'd take your differentials with no lead, never mind a lead
Bizarrely, none of my rivals have benched Fernandes and none have Mane.
A lot have gone for TAA as captain.
I've Mane as captain so I'm hoping he gets a couple today.

Weird choices... I think he fecked up big.
My rival did as expected and captained Salah so he is obviously confident in his differentials.
It's my: Konsa, JLingz and Iheanacho Vs his: Rudiger, Son and Smith Rowe
Burgers in the oven, beer in the fridge, tablet fully charged to make sure no issues while watching SKy (well the version that I use. )
As Fabrizio would say "nearly a here we go"

About even them?
Bottled it. Can't believe he didn't take Bruno out.
My rival left rashford and greenwood in, swapped Watkins out for Antonio and brought in Trent and captained him. I should have a 20 point lead now. I surely won’t lose this now.
I think a lot won't have been able to afford it - as Mane is substantially more expensive than Bruno's sell price.
Please Ole do not ruin everything with a late sub.
It going to suck if Watkins score for fun against my Mendy and then I get a late sub on.

I won't get complacent, especially as he's lucked out that Dias is playing for him (In as 2nd sub unless Lindelof comes on for a cameo)
But I'm glad he's the guy who is 21 points behind, as the guy in 3rd, who has won this league about 6 times, and is 53 points behind, did the scary gamble -
Bruno to Auba and captained him. That's the sort of stuff that's a potential game changer late doors.
If Villa and City did concede, he'd need double digits from Willock and Nacho to level my 21 lead.
Or need some luck like Phillips getting another attacking return.
I really like that he's benched Watkins too - as he was a great point of difference for me for a lot of the season before everyone got on him - and he's the type who nips in for a 5-7 pointer irrespective of opponent.
Greenwood benched is a big arsehole - that's the one thing sullying things at the mo.
But an early Antonio or Watkins goal will really help.
Yeah true but three of them have left Bruno in their starting line-ups.
I was taking my daughter back to Uni (Leeds) and spoke to him then forgot.Just a small piece of critical info you left out there
To be fair, he also told me to put Harrison in and he'd score loads so he's not infallible
Everyone in my team starts. Guess you can't ask for more.
Can't get over Bam Bam being benched.
A real shocker.
I suppose he got away with not being benched last time, when he'd come off early and Rodrigo hauled, as Klick was out.
But then he hauled last game!
Fair enough. I wasn't really after Bamford, as Antonio and Watkins felt plenty.
Nervy 90 ahead.
Will be spitting feathers if my rival has a couple of goalscorers early doors!
Now he's matched up on my Liverpool defender, I'm basically relying on Antonio and Watkins
Normally yes but this is the guy that caught 3 Soucek hauls who was his third sub, caught the Mitchell goal and assist as first sub, Rudiger goal last week, got both Smith Rowe goals on his bench boost...
I remember last year, he was one point ahead of me and there was 10 minutes to go. Most of his differentials are subbed, mine were still playing. I was refreshing like crazy as ALL I needed was one of my 4 differentials to get something... They all blanked.
I won't be taking it easy until the final kick.
Top in my ML has done Bruno to Mane and Watkins to Antonio, for a -4 (the scenario I was going to do but DCL not Watkins).
Second did Bruno to Sterling and captained him. Grande cajones indeed?!
Only me with Watkins, only top with Mane, only 2nd with Sterling.
Could go anyway this

Obvs sod's law is that they have 6 games live, and the 7th is the West Ham game I'd have probably watched, and only on Sky one!

Certainly going to be some swings in emotion in this 90!
I've even had a cursory glance at 3rd, 53 points behind, but has history of wins, and Auba cap.
Hatrick would give him 42 points alone! Obviously the small matter of him needing to do it though!
Need an early Salah goal or 2 to see him off I think!
A very strange decision. Thankfully I didn’t captain him. I was tempted.
Bamford benched is a massive kick in the balls and made me nervous. Should still get a decent run though and Leeds will keep going to the end
Interestingly my rival captained Firmino over Salah, probably thinking I was going to captain Salah. That makes me feel much better about the Auba punt.
