    In keeping with tradition, my draft team has just allowed Bony to score his first goal.

    Gray scored 15 minutes in after being an absolute waste for about 6 weeks now.

    Prepping myself for Sterling to be on he bench.

    If I've added the subs points up right, that Bony goal means you beat me by 1 point unless Walker does something.

    I think I've got 8 off the bench, so yeah I think you need a Walker goal.

    I've almost got fewer points in the draft league than I've had players play, which is some going. Had I had Lewis Dunk that would be in the bag I think. 14 points from 10 players having played.

    I made a mistake in benching my Brighton pair this week, in anticipation of a Liverpool shelling, which duly arrived, but of course Duffy got an assist and his replacement, Mustafi, was killed in action.

    Kevin playing as auxiliary centre back here is fucking me off.

    That is seriously well played.

    Well played Stink Floyd, too. Even a Firmino brace couldn't stop you.

    It's Hazard or bust for my draft outfit. Proper outfit had a shitter this week as well, the triple captain kind of saved it from total ignominy.

    My team scored 40 points. My goalkeepers scored 19...

    Jesus out, Hazard in.

    88 points for my team in the normal game.

    Somehow, my draft team continues to win most weeks despite half the team injured.

    I've gone wildcard, it seemed a good time. Somehow ended up with Calvert-Lewin in my frontline thereafter, but a midfield of Hazard/De Bruyne/Silva/Fernandinho and Morata/Kane up should make up for that. A slightly over-blue tinge to the lineup but so be it.

    Is that the top 4 million in the game, or just this week?

    Just in the week. I was shafted last year, was in the top 100k in the world (at the time) but didn't get in the cup.

    Right, I haven't been outside that mark for the last 10 straight weeks, so no doubt this will be the week.

    Same.

    Team this week:

    Speroni; Otamendi, Jones, Bellerin, Gomez; David Silva, Salah, Hazard, Loftus-Cheek; Morata, Kane

    Undecided on who to captain. Remember its 11:30am deadline folks.

    Balls, I got rid of Frank Zappacosta in my draft team as Moses is back, so thought he'd be back on the bench. I couldn't really take the risk though, as I already have Bailly and Sanchez out for the foreseeable, so I'd be struggling to field 11 each week.

    At the moment it feels like I could captain Messi against one legged goat herders from Albacete and he would score a maximum of two points.

    lol I think I forgot to do my team or save it or something. De Gea is on the bench from last week.

    I'm not getting in the cup at this rate.

    Could have done without Lloris being a spaz. Oh well, hopefully 'Arry sees me into the cup at least.

    Yeah I think Captain Kane has probably fired my idiots into the cup. A rare off day for King Duffy, but Tarko the otter might well have made up for it.

    Fuck me Benteke is destroying my draft team. That missed penalty robbed assist points from Zaha as well. Needs putting down.

    I brought him in about 10 weeks ago on your suggestion, never looked back.

    Decent week this week with de Bruyne somehow being given an assist for the City goal as well, hope that sticks.

    I'm on for about fifty, which is remarkable considering the weekend started with my Chelsea trio netting me a total of six points.

    Playing my bench boost this midweek in the hope people don't realise there's a deadline tomorrow and don't do their teams properly.

    A further 71 points for my team in the main game. Named an unchanged line up for the midweek games. Some players might be rested by their clubs so I'm unsure whether I'll progress in the cup but Harry Kane is never rotated out for Premier League matches so he remains my captain.

    Trashford for Morata. Feel like I'm going to be on the wrong end of some rotation nightmare this week.

    In the cup I've got some Kiwi ranked outside the top 4 million, should fuck it up nicely.

    I went Lukaku for Morata (he's got 4 in 5 against Bournemouth and they're shit)

    Bench boost is on so this is how it looks:


    I need a 0-0 in Watford v Palace and a clean sheet for United and then goals galore.

    My mate was telling me about how it's stupid to use your tokens on anything other than double game weeks. On one hand, lol what kind of saddo plans that, on the other, now that I've been informed I feel like I'd have to be a mug to do anything else.

    I've got some Indian gimp who is ranked just outside the top 1.7m, only scored 34 last week which just about scraped him into the cup.

    Has only made 2 transfers (both in GW3) so looks pretty shit.

    This is true, but as you can't double up on chips you need a fair few doubles to make use of all of them in that way. I don't know if you can combine the freehit and another chip (as the freehit one is played in the transfer screen rather than the selection one) - I feel the freehit will be very useful for a (late season) double week - but whether it's any better than the others I don't know. The triple captain feels like the best, but it's probably the worst/riskiest.

    I've got some 4.5m ranked no mark who has obviously forgotten about the game. Would have just sneaked past him 49-47 last week.

    How come Morata is red injured all of a sudden?

    I tried to do that last year and just ended up with gimped teams because I was so desperate for those double gameweek points. Just playing it by ear now.

    My team value is 102.1m while this guys is 98. With bench boost active, something mental is going to have to happen for me to be beaten.

    edit: @niko, free hit counts as a chip.

    The people who come top 100 in the world must have databases and spreadsheets to generate probabilities etc. They'll know that statistically you should use the bench boost in week 22 and the free hit in week 10.
