Isak, Cunha, Bruno and Eze, you beauties! Palmer to go.

Bonuscard on Bruno this weekend, please.
Can you reverse your Sub?!
I'd love to as well, but this is football not basketball
PS: Not a terrible idea going forward. Any twists and turns that can be introduced through timely decision-making help avoid processions.
As for Palmer to go he literally went all out. Well done and to everyone else who picked Palmer he's been the star of this competition. 5 goalscorers also that's some going.
Suggested for the next competition
5 correct goalscorers 1point
6 correct goalscorers 2points
7 correct goalscorers 3 points
8 correct goalscorers 4 points plus 1 bonus point.
Yeah, crazy week! 11 goals added. Never had anything even close before...
11 points then. That's something else.
4/5 were first goalscorers too nice odds and if you were to do all five to score be a nice return too. That's if you did do the odd few bets.
Sounds like the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Isn't it already enough reward to have that many goalscorers while us numpties hog the likes of Ferguson and Doucouré?
Well I'm only suggesting it for the next competition besides 7 or 8 is unheard of 6 can be very rare occurance. Just feel 5 or above should be rewarded that extra point or two could be the difference at the end. Anyway only a suggestion mind competition is still in its infancy.
Also on any given week someoneo with 2 or three goalscorers could potentially have more points than someone with say 5 or even 6 respectively.
Still feel 5,6,7 or 8 should get that extra point or two and if I was up near the top or looking to drag myself out of relegation so to speak could make a difference. Besides just feel it's some achievement and should be given that extra reward.
I buy the rationale to bring in an alt source of "surprise points" that can make the difference, but would limit that to 1 bonus point if 5 or more score in any given week. It's sufficient for that objective without becoming a flukefest.
I'd sooner have bonus points in line with # of goals scored as we all make that decision across several players and weeks based on form, etc. Mixes it up more than exaggerating the impact of the original cast in stone lineup having a good weekend.
E.g. AN would be getting 4 bonus points this week and fair fecks to him if he did.
Yeah that makes sense and refreshing to be able to suggest or discuss things constructively. Have to say also how smooth this has gone compared to the last one. Shows that if we wait categorically till the transfer windows close and squad numbers are definitely locked in so to speak so much easier.
Yeah, it was. I'll post the updated table tomorrow but pretty confident of saying @Annihilate Now! is smashing it.
Nah, I think @troylocker will only be like a point behind me as he had a tremendous week.
I shouldn't have subbed out Cunha, he was meant to be injured for the season!
Sick GW for me. Let's just hope Cunha now stays fit and outscores Soucek the next few rounds.
Shit just got interesting. Cunha, the bonus cards and... dare I say it... Bruno, puts @Annihilate Now!'s dominance in danger.

@Damien - do the midweek matches next week count in this competition as they are from Week 29?
Yep. Any fixture from GW23 onwards counts.
Good, I'm still deciding when to use my two remaining bonus cards.
Thanks! It’ll save it then.

@Damien GW35 - Isak bonus card Newcastle v Sheff Utd please
I’ll use my Isak bonus card too please @Damien
Same here @Damien Isak vs SHU
This Fernandes fella has to stop scoring
Bonus card on Bruno this weekend, please
Bonus card on Isak this week please.
Okay, we have a situation. If a player is subbed on in say MD32 but after that there's a rearranged game from MD29 which gets played and that player who is subbed on scores, should the goal/s count? Gut says no but the text in the OP doesn't restrict it: "If OriginalPlayer scores 5 goals prior to being replaced and ReplacementPlayer scores 6 goals for the remainder of the duration of the competition, you'll get 11 points total.".
I'm leaning towards allow it for this competition but from next year onwards specify that if an earlier fixture is rearranged, only the OriginalPlayer would get points for scoring in that particular game and not ReplacementPlayer.

@Damien Bonus on Isak vs Sheff Utd along with everybody else, please.
This'll be contentious but decided to not count the goals for the player who was subbed on after MD29. The logic being that if the player who had been subbed OFF after MD29 had played in the original MD29 fixtures, if I were to count that and the goals scored by the player subbed on after MD29 in this week's MD29 fixtures, there'd be an extra game counted if that makes sense - so there'd be 17 games between the two players rather than 16 games for all others. I've decided to count the goals for the player subbed on after MD29.
For transparency the person affected was Wilt. Subbed on Bruno Fernandes in MD31 and of course he scored a brace in the rearranged MD29 fixtures. Will listen to any feedback on the matter.

Just give him the goals. Lame not to.
Subbing Trent on for Mitoma.
Isak bonus.
Subbing Trent on for Mitoma.
Isak bonus.
Using a bonus on Eze please
I'd say you give him the goals, he may have wanted to sub earlier, but held off due to the game being rearranged. That's just good play in my book.
Bonus on Luiz please
It's not your gut Damien, it's common sense not to count it. The player wasn't active on GW29.
What would be a fair call is if the guy subbed OUT in GW32 later plays in a GW29 postponed game and scores then that one should count.
@Damien - if we want to use a bonus card on GW36 - when is the latest we can decide to do it or not?
For GW36 specifically, it is Friday at 6.50pm - sorry for lack of update with table. Had an emergency on Monday which has been ongoing since. Will aim to post table this evening.
For those wanting to use a bonus card on Chelsea v Spurs, the deadline is tomorrow at 6.20pm - rule of thumb is 70 minutes before kick off so you submit before the lineups are out.
