Fantasy Premier League 21/22

Ramsdale and TAA are totally tactical injuries to miss England friendlies, I ain't buying this shit.

Would be pretty dim to lose Ramsdale for this game to do so.

Up there with the clown fan logic I often see about leaving someone out for a game so they don't get a booking and miss a game :)
 
Filthy Arsenal points with a worst case outcome in the real world stuff v United.

Getting away with things OK so far.
Would not have wanted to free hit as I'd have no doubt put 2 Wolves defenders in and probably Cash and Couty.

Free hit would not have saved me since I likely would have gone with Jimenez anyway.

Possibly benched him and started Barnes, Maddison double, but doubt I would have picked Toney.

I think I would have gone Tierney and Sa over Ramsdale and Coady though. Quite close though, but would have gained 6 points.
 
No Eriksen and Castagne start. My friends free hit is going badly since gets Jimenez from the bench.

That friend was smug about Saka captain yesterday.
 
feck sake, no Thomas. Down to seven players now. I thought I was going to have 11 a week ago.

At least everyone else seems to be doing badly too.
 
I needed those Maddison points. Slightly gutted that the Amartey cleanie was lost last minute as well.

Let's see which Spurs turn up today. I've got all their front 3.
 
This isn't my season.. All that time wasted on deciding to double up on Wolves defence or Leicester defence :lol:
 
Toney blanking is great. Glad I didn't get into the trap of bringing him for one GW and then have his useless ass on the bench. I'm likely gonna be playing 4-5-1 for the rest of the season.
 
How do Leicester defenders (not the one who scored) get more BPS than players who play/assist, like Barnes?

Their job (you’d expect for BPS) is to avoid letting goals in, they didn’t… Barnes job is to assist/score, he did

What you talkin bout Willis? Only Castagne got bps and he scored and went off well before they conceded.

No. BPS isn’t the 1-2-3 points they get, they all get BPS and the top three scores receive points. It‘s Bonus Points SYSTEM (though we regularly use it in the context of the 1-2-3 points players get … “he should get 3 bps” today).

”The players with the top three BPS in a given match receive bonus points - three points to the highest-scoring player, two to the second best and one to the third.”

Some Leicester defenders and the goalie got more BPS than Barnes and I assumed they‘d get less as didn’t score, didn’t assist, conceded.

Willis.

Well if you read the list you posted it seems the only logical conclusion is that Barnes did sweet FA besides that assist in the first half.

Make sense Willis?
 
And the Leicester defenders who didn’t assist and conceded did…… what?

I don't know why you're asking me but I suspect blocks, tackles and pass percentage not to mention all the negative points attackers get for inevitably trying to create chances and scoring opportunities but failing.

It was a meme for a while that Salah never got any bonus points even when he scored.
 
Well I've had a horror show of a week. Thought I'd built my team well enough for GW30 to go without a FH but no Kilman, Ramsdale, Raphinha has cost me big. My 50 point lead in the ML is down to 19 now...

Really hoping my saved FH over my rival (who used his this week) pays off in GW33/36...
 
67 on that free hit. Defence was poor though all round.
 
My issue was getting stuck with shit players from Brentford Leicester Wolves etc. Don't mind hits when it's for players you can keep long term.

I already had Saiss. I think Maddison/Barnes could be worth owning long term as long as they don't give up in the league. Amartey can sit last on my bench every week no problem.
 
62 from 7 players once the BPs are added. I think I’ve equalled my mates score who used a free hit. Delighted.

They're fine yeah. But I had no way to get in a mid as I already had Raphinha Coutinho Saka and Kulu.

Amartey could be a 0 pointer on a BB which I have left.
 
40 (44 once Kane BP get added) points not bad from only having 5 players, a 11k red arrow was expecting much worse so happy enough with the GW.

What week are you planning on using that? Still got a wildcard left?

I used mine gw1 this year to mix it up and get it out of the way.
 
Little green arrow. No FH, 57 points after the hits, bps etc. are included.

30 points between me and top 10k the website says, so hoping I have a couple of good GWs now.

Same as you.

I was forgetting one of those major fantasy footy rules - back the big players.
Not having Son now looks utterly mad.

In fairness, Kulu was matching/bettering him, at way cheaper price.
And this way didn't have to mess taking Salah out only to put him back in .
 
Jesus F'ing Christ. What a few weeks. 45 all out this week - with no hits. From single digits to 50K to barely being in top 200k this week. Followed my plan, WC to bring in Salah after AFCON, TC Salah, FH, then take a big hit 2 weeks ago for DGW and then to have 10 this week.

Result of planning: An utter catastrophe.

2 weeks ago: Anything but a Saint, Maximin: 1 point
Last week: Rudiger benched, Broja 1 pointer keeping Coady 14 pointer on the bench
This week: Antonio 1 pt, Ramsdale a zero dropping me to 9 players

I've whiffed on Coutinho and Tierney the whole season, and having Odegaard instead of Saka has killed me.

So, I rolled 2 FT this week, tempted for:
Coutinho -> Havertz
Odegaard -> Saka
TAA -> Robertson

To take a -4 hit and roll with:
De Gea
Rudiger Robertson Doherty
Salah Son Kulu Havertz Saka
Antonio
Bench: Lacazette, Broja, Cash and Coady
