Might finally be a good week for me.

[Magic]

Three Arsenal players, Mahrez and forgetting to put Clyne in my first 11 will see me have a sub 30 week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mahrez :cool:

[Pepe]

Ffs forgot to choose my team. :face:

[Magic]

26 points. Settle for that today to be honest.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

48 with 3 to play.

[Pepe]

I'm at 42 with Kane to play. Not too bad considering I forgot to pick a team, except for Captain Ayew. :nono:

[Andy]

Looks like De Bruyne was an inspired choice.

What's up with Aguero? Just doesn't look on it at all.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Looks like De Bruyne was an inspired choice.

What's up with Aguero? Just doesn't look on it at all.
Took him a while to get going, now he'll piss it I think. What a man KDB is.

[Andy]

Aguero looked like everything was rushed and harried, wasn't very impressed. Think he needs a goal to get the confidence back.

[P_3]

Somehow ended up with 54 points. Hugo and Toby to play.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

64 with Toby and Martial to play.

[Andy]

That's a decent score, Toby could potentially get six quite easily and Martial will get a couple of points for turning up and spending 90 minutes in Fontes back pocket.

I've got 54 with McCarthy to go.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

70 points with Martial to go, woof.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

82 points all told.

Shame I acted too fast in the week and took out Depay instead of Shaw to get Martial in.

[P_3]

Nicely done Mahow. Martial might be an inspired signing, considering Rooney has turned to shit.

Got myself 67, but I'm hoping a bonus point or two from Spurs' defence will push me on to 70.

[SvN]

My disaster continues. I haven't broken 30 points yet this season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Nicely done Mahow. Martial might be an inspired signing, considering Rooney has turned to shit.

Got myself 67, but I'm hoping a bonus point or two from Spurs' defence will push me on to 70.

Bonus points will go to:

Son: 3
Walker: 2
Vertonghen: 1.

Shambles that Toby wont get anything.

[Magic]

I'll need to get on this marital bandwagon. 35 points for me.

[Offshore Toon]

Forgot to fucking captain Mahrez.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

67 the next highest score in the league.

Makes my score a hell of a lot sweeter.

[MartinSAFC]

47 points for me.

Another week where I scored just above the average (which has been the case every week so far), keeping me in 10th place in the league. I really need a few big weeks though as the big hitters in the league have started to pick up some big points.

[TG09]

I got 37, not good. Hazard got me 20 of them points. Time for a change.

[MartinSAFC]

In - Watmore/Payet/Martial

Out - Defoe/Lens/Benteke

Next week, I'm going to upgrade either Gomez or Morgan.

[Offshore Toon]

Even though I'm doing quite well I've decided it's wildcard time.

http://i.imgur.com/HUn2Hl8.png

[TG09]

I just got rid of Rodriguez and put in Wilson. Got 1mil in the bank for next transfer.

[Andy]

Courtois to Begovic. What a dull move.

[Pleb]

How am I still in the top 5? :D

[Baz]

Just had a flick through and am I right in thinking there are no double-game gameweeks this season? Was banking on one of those for my triple captain bonus booster thing.

[Mike]

Played my wildcard this week.

https://i.imgur.com/k0SxOHE.png

[Andy]

Just had a flick through and am I right in thinking there are no double-game gameweeks this season? Was banking on one of those for my triple captain bonus booster thing.

They are never announced early season, they happen when a club misses a week and has a game postponed. FA cup/League cup semis and snow usually cause double game weeks.

[Weaver]

Taken a risk and left Darmian and Cedric in my first XI - Darmian got hauled off at HT against Southampton last week, with Valencia taking his place, and Cedric didn't play in the same game at all, even with an injured full back being subbed off.

Ideally, I'll replace him with Bertrand, but it's a week too early IMO. I've ended up with only two defenders who are assured of their places (Clyne, Alderweireld) with the other three potentially on their benches (Darmian, Cedric, Terry)

I have finally taken Henderson out, who was only originally going to be out for two or three games, and I've replaced him with Victor Moses who has looked ace so far this season.

Butland; Cedric, Darmian, Clyne; Moses, Ayew, Cabaye, Sterling; Deeney, Aguero (C), Gomis.
Cech, Ritchie, Terry, Alderweireld.

[Pleb]

I've only just added Martial to my starting lineup bandwagon.

Probably won't make a slightest bit of difference.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shaw and Barkley out for Zouma and Depay this week.

http://i.imgur.com/6VB9qut.png

Shame about Toby :(

[phonics]

An all Chelsea backline? Brave.

[Trancemeister]

Aguero as captain. Does fuck all as usual.

[Magic]

Fucking lol at transferring Kane because he's done absolutely nothing then he finds form. :drool:

[P_3]

Back your ideas up Aguero, you've been shit. Captain pointless.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

An all Chelsea backline? Brave.

Hopefully they can't shit it up against Newcastle.

[phonics]

You know they've lost their last 3 games at Newcastle right?

[Samadini]

lol at my defense. None of them are playing, so in comes Sagna off the bench with 0 points and Oxford who already has 0 points.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You know they've lost their last 3 games at Newcastle right?

I do but Newcastle have looked like a whole new breed of shit this season.

But then so has Chelsea's defence :\

[Samadini]

1 point from Wilson and yet another forced transfer.

I hate this game so much.

[Pleb]

Martial needs to score...

[Trancemeister]

Should've kept Sanchez as captain:moop:

[Magic]

Martial triple captain. :moop:

Scum cunts.

[Samadini]

Looking at a 24 point hit with transfers at the moment.

One click away.

[niko_cee]

I think I benched wee Jimmy Milner.

[Samadini]

Half a click away.

Shaking.

[Magic]

Fuck I really did swap Sanchez out. :D

[Samadini]

I've got it down to 16 points. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sometimes I really don't get the BPS in this game.

Apparently Rooney was the second best player on the pitch today...

[Pleb]

I find it hilarious that some of you guys have already wasted your triple points on your captain in the first few weeks.

Calm it down :handbags:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I fucking blame you Phonics, you utter bastard.

[Magic]

:D

Beautiful.

[Samadini]

http://i.imgur.com/cLbD08w.png

:gs:

[Andy]

Probably my worst week of the season, was watching the Chelsea game expecting Pedro and Begovic to get me a few points. Now I'm left hoping Dawson gets a clean sheet on Monday.

Thinking of a -4 this week Wilson and Muniesa -> Sakho and Evans.

[Pen]

This season continues to be an complete embarrassment. I'm looking at *sub 30 point week unless Sako does something today. Nothing has gone as planned so far, and one thing that really fucks me off is that I'm still to make an unforced transfer (wildcard aside). Every week someone gets sent off or injured.

[phonics]

http://i.imgur.com/2dsMNSn.png

Just the 15 points on the bench.

[Pen]

Well at least your getting 8 of those as Targett didn't play.

[Andy]

Well at least your getting 8 of those as Targett didn't play.

Unless Browning plays.

[Pen]

You're right. I had Koyate as a defender in my head.

[Mazuuurk]

Broke down and used my wildcard.

Hazard and Aguero better step it up soon. I feel like I can't get rid of either though because as soon as I do they will explode.

Double home fixtures coming up for both.


I want more Arsenal in my team, but everyone but Sanchez gets rotated too much so even if Walcott looks like pretty good value now I'm not sure, as Giroud will likely get a game or two soon enough.

New team, may change it later this week (Wildcard is active all week, right?):

http://snag.gy/lrHEI.jpg

[phonics]

I redid my team yesterday too to stop this constant thing of Sako scoring when he's on the bench and Kouyate doing the same thing.

http://i.imgur.com/Vt1D4Ve.png

Hennesey has replaced McCarthy which means I need a new GK next week but fuck it.

[Magic]

I replaced Mings with R. Martin but keeping everything else as is. Can't afford a wildcard or a -4/-8 at the moment.

[Weaver]

Yes Maz, the wildcard is active all week.

I'll be using mine as well - I've got a general idea of who I want in, so it's just making the numbers work.

[Mazuuurk]

I still feel like I didn't improve my team that much. It feels very lacking in defence, and I'm not sure Sagna will keep playing so may have to trade him out before the end of the week.

Still, City defence when Kompany is playing feels like the only moderately sold one right now.

[MartinSAFC]

I'm not looking forward to checking my scores for this gameweek. It will have been a complete disaster, half my team was injured!:moop:

[MartinSAFC]

Didn't realise Alderweireld scored for Tottenham. How did that happen? He never scores!

He comes off my bench to give my 44 points so far with Barkley still to play.

I knew Hart and Kompany didn't play this week but why didn't McCarthy start for Crystal Palace? Liverpool seem to have dropped Gomez too, the complete cretins.:moop:

[phonics]

Hennesey is fit now so McCarthy is down to 3rd choice.

[Mazuuurk]

Wait so Henessey is first choice for Palace now?

[phonics]

Speroni is first choice but he's injured. Hennesey is second, McCarthy third.

[Mazuuurk]

Speroni isn't injured anymore according to FPL.

[Waffdon]

I used Lukaku as my triple captain for the lolz. 48 points once he gets the bonus points. #soz

[Magic]

That's one less than my entire team got.

And I also played triple captain. :D

[P_3]

That's brilliant Waff. Nicely done.

[TG09]

Nice Waff, I got 43 for my whole team.

[phonics]

Browning played. 15 points on the bench in a week I got 66 anyway. Fuming.

[niko_cee]

I had him as captain, although not a triple.

That's still best saved for when Aguero/Sanchez/whoever gets 2 games against plebs in a gameweek towards the end of the season.

He's still outscored the rest of my team.

:D

[Waffdon]

I'll only have 74 points or so, which is a bit rubbish.

WIll give AGuero one more chance this weekend. £3m spare and a lot more once he goes - my defence and midfield is so bare. :D

Zouma, Dier, Martin, Gomez, Kolarov, Mahrez, lens, Countinho, Barkley

[The Merse]

Bench boost let me down. McCarthy replaced by Hennessy for no reason (is Hennessy 1st choice normally with McCarthy having stepped in, or vice-versa), whilst Gomez was also missing and I'd already chosen to keep an injured player over a 4 point penalty.

76 points. Sanchez and Vardy saving me, sadly not as skipper (Martial)

[Weaver]

I used Lukaku as my triple captain for the lolz. 48 points once he gets the bonus points. #soz

Well played :nod:

What made you do that, with Lukaku, against a team who've kept quite a few clean sheets recently?

[QE Harold Flair]

Definitely an amazing foresight, I imagine.

[Waffdon]

Bench boost let me down. McCarthy replaced by Hennessy for no reason (is Hennessy 1st choice normally with McCarthy having stepped in, or vice-versa), whilst Gomez was also missing and I'd already chosen to keep an injured player over a 4 point penalty.

76 points. Sanchez and Vardy saving me, sadly not as skipper (Martial)

Everton are the Dons away from home.

[Weaver]

I've wildcarded.

Terry, Darmian, Cedric, Moses, Sterling, Ayew and Gomis swapped for Azpilicueta, Dann, Bertrand, Walters, Sanchez, Barkley and Berahino.

Butland; Dann, Azpilicueta, Clyne; Sanchez, Cabaye, Ritchie, Barkley; Berahino, Aguero (C), Deeney
Cech, Walters, Alderweireld, Bertrand is the plan so far.

[P_3]

My only change was Berahino in for the dead Wilson. RIP. West Brom have some defensively frail opponents coming up and he seems to be hitting some form with 2 goals in 2 games. Will be looking to offload Ayew for Mane soon and then try and bring in Mata for De Bruyne as Aguero starts winning games on his own.

[Pen]

Pretty much all my players have easy home games, so I'm confident I'll break the 30 point barrier, or at least get very close to it :moop:

[Andy]

Did the boring Wilson to Vardy transfer. Have a bench full of shit that needs sorting. McCarthy, Muniesa, Targett and Watmore.

[Weaver]

Mahrez is on the bench for Leicester today... Second most captained person this week according to @premierleague.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck sake.

De Gea; Toby, Dave, Zouma; Mahrez, Ayew, De Bruyne, Depay; Gomis, Ighalo, Martial (C).

Subs: Fabianski, Ivanovic, Shaqiri, Cedric.

[P_3]

1 point from Berahino. Fuck off Pulis.

[Trancemeister]

Played the all out attack and Redmond & Mahrez not starting.

Cabaye, Vardy & Captain Aguero goals so far.

[Magic]

Solid 3 points so far. :sick:

[Trancemeister]

And I was so close to play the triple captain instead :moop:

[niko_cee]

Dear lord, just imagine. At least I have him as regular captain.

[Mazuuurk]

Yeah, but triple captain would have been a gamble when he was in the supposed form he's had up until now.

Watch everyone make him triple captain next week and get 2 points :D

[Magic]

My mate had him as triple last week and got 6 points. :harold:

[The Merse]

Keeping faith in Aguero :cool:

[Magic]

Can anyone else get on the site? It's a fucking joke on match day.

[Magic]

Superb captain Sterling subbed at half time. This is going to be a below 20 week for me.

[P_3]

Sterling. :lol:

All about KDB in midfield for City.

[The Merse]

Can anyone else get on the site? It's a fucking joke on match day.

Only the app works for me on Saturdays.

63 pts with 5 to play. :D

[niko_cee]

52 with 7 to play (although it will be more due to Aguero's 3BP), and Raheem '1 point' Sterling stinking the place up again.

[Magic]

5 points with 8 to play and one of those is injured. This is more like my form.

[Waffdon]

53 off Kolarov, Gomes and Aguero. Lens will replace Mahrez - think he scored and got sent off though

[Pleb]

10 points with 5 to play :D

Eh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

5 points with 8 to play and one of those is injured. This is more like my form.

Do you just pick random footballers names out of a hat each week?

[Andy]

81 points with Ayew and Sanchez to go. Top of the league going into today's game.

Captain Aguerooooooooooooo.

[Baz]

I know it's aftereventing but I honestly was so close to picking Aguero as triple captain this week but decided not to because of goddamn Mazuuurk making fun of people.

[Trancemeister]

Have Sanchez aswell. Good week despite fucking up the all out attack option.

[niko_cee]

Andy's just come in his pants.

[The Merse]

Fuck's sake.

I left Darmian and Smalling on the bench, fancying us to knock a couple past them, but Mahrez, Sagna and Gomez not playing brings them into the side... Oh well, at least I also have Sanchez.

[Magic]

10 points. :D

[The Merse]

85 with another 5 or so off the bench to come, plus Sanchez's bonuses. Thinking I may make 100 this week should Sanchez get another.

[Andy]

105 points.

[Rubacava]

I got 100, would have been 114 if I'd captained Aguero instead of Mane.

[Magic]

14 points. :drool:

Worst game week since 2009. This is what happens though when you don't watch football.

Wildcard time.

[Mazuuurk]

I know it's aftereventing but I honestly was so close to picking Aguero as triple captain this week but decided not to because of goddamn Mazuuurk making fun of people.

Wut..?

[Trancemeister]

104 points. Cech got a clean sheet too.

[P_3]

1 off 100. Defence let me down. :(

[QE Harold Flair]

I think I may be top when all the dust has settled and smoke has cleared.

[niko_cee]

There are going to be a lot of triple captains thrown at Aguero for the Bournemouth game.

[Magic]

Binned Koscielny and Sterling for Dann and De Bruyne (C). Not wildcarding yet. Holding my nerve.

[Andy]

Aguero injured. 125k have bought him in this week.

[Mazuuurk]

Yeah but how long is he out for? Hamstring may be like one game or so... Not worth selling him for that, I'd say.

[QE Harold Flair]

Haha luckily I brought in Dier who then got suspended.

[Weaver]

The Guardian reckons 'around a month', this morning, attributing the quote to Aguero himself, speaking to TYC Sports.

If that's the case, he'll miss Bournemouth (H - 17/10), Man Utd (A - 25/10), Norwich (H - 31/10) and Villa (A - 8/11). The next fixture in the League after that is Liverpool (H) on the 21st of November.

[Andy]

Back for Liverpool I'd have thought.

[Pen]

Out for 4 to 8 weeks apparently.

That's too many games, so I shipped him already so that I would not lose out on value.

[P_3]

Who did you get in? I'm thinking Sturridge might be a good bet what with Klopp coming in. Other than him someone like Pelle or Lukaku seem solid for points.

[Samadini]

You lot should have done what I did and transfer Aguero out the week he scored his 5 goals.

[Pen]

I went with Pelle. Now I'm thinking about taking another 4 point hit to get in De Bruyne for Sako. I probably will if he doesn't get injured.

[Pepe]

Five players unavailable. :face:

[Andy]

I did a -8.

Bony, Mane and Pelle for Aguero, Pedro and Watmore.

[P_3]

I'm toying with bringing in Bony for Aguero as well as it seems Berahino is a doubt all of a sudden.

Settled on Costa. Villa at home, could be a good goal return or a needless red card.

[Weaver]

Bony in for Aguero for me, as well. And I've moved Ritchie to first sub to cover Berahino's possible absence.

Big match against Mahow in the H2H this week.

[Mazuuurk]

In the end I went for De Bruyne + Pelle for Sako and Aguero, and -4 points, rather than just get Bony.

Not entirely sure if it was worth it, as Bonys price will go up, but I feel like De Bruyne will be the better option at Man City still, although Bony is usually a quite solid source of goals.

It hinges a bit on Pelle continuing his form, which I'm sure he won't :moop:

[Mazuuurk]

I went with Pelle. Now I'm thinking about taking another 4 point hit to get in De Bruyne for Sako. I probably will if he doesn't get injured.

Just saw this :cool:

[Samadini]

http://i.imgur.com/Hkj2u1h.png

Rolling with that for this week. Azpi will be out for Moreno after that, which gives me a bit of money to strengthen the goal keepers, or defence a bit more. I can't see many weeks where at least two of my midfield doesn't do anything, which is a first for about 2 years :moop:

[Pen]

Yeah, I went for that, which saw me rack up a ridiculous -16 during the international break and I still have Kolarov out it seems.

Sako for De Bruyne
Agüero for Pellè
Sterling for Mané
Pedro for Sánchez
Gomez for Bertrand

Those were my transfer, and even with the 16 point hit, I'm pretty pleased I made all of them (apart from losing Aguero) as I couldn't afford all of them anymore. First three changes were made during the games on last game week.

[Samadini]

Everyone has the same team again, fml.

[Samadini]

What a start.

Sturridge and Davies dropped. :face:

[Pen]

What an inspired transfer that Mane for Sterling proved to be :face:

[SvN]

Think that's the first time I've scored above 40 this season.

[Mazuuurk]

Another terrible week. I had Hazard for captain, expecting him to finally turn up sooner or later. Of course he comes on for 5 minutes and scores 1 point :moop:

[Magic]

35 points for me, can't believe I sold Sterling and the cunt got a hatrick. Second consecutive week that's happened. Fucking joke.

[Pleb]

:D

Got 48 points I reckon. Sanchez :cool:

[Trancemeister]

So who has Wijnaldum?

[Weaver]

655785931602030593

[Andy]

2.2% of people had him. Reckon that will fly up. Is he any good?

I've only seen Newcastle once and that was the united game.

[Mazuuurk]

He's been invisible whenever I've watched Newcastle this year. Probably decent enough, but you have to consider that Newcastle as a team have been quite bad so far as well.

[Andy]

The problem with selling Aguero and spreading the money is I now have to bench one of: Pelle, Vardy, Bony, KDB, Sanchez, Mahrez, Mane or Ayew.

Ayew is out of form but it's Villa...

Good week to captain an obscure player. I might go for Mahrez, although hard to look past Sanchez with Arsenal donning things.

[Mazuuurk]

You have all of those, Andy? That's not bad at all.

Although I'm starting to feel like Mahrez is fading and Vardy is where it's at for Leicester. Wonder how long they can keep up their form.

I got Martial out and Vardy in. Giving Hazard one more week, he better play and score this weekend or he's out.
I should have just kept Cabaye and sold Hazard a few weeks ago, but did the other thing :moop:

[Magic]

Gomis is a fucking arsehole.

[Weaver]

Six points between Butland (1), Azpilicueta (0), Walters (1), Cabaye (2) and Berahino (2)

Sanchez as Captain, Alderweireld, Clyne, Barkley and Bony to go.

[Andy]

31 points with KDB, Bony, Kolarov, Mane and Pelle to play.

In the strange position where it looks like I won't need to make a transfer. Everton have a tasty run of fixtures but I'm not sure
I fancy any of their players, same with United. Will probably save the transfer.

[Andy]

You have all of those, Andy? That's not bad at all

Yeah, spread the Aguero money around a fair bit. Will make it harder to get him back but should hopefully get a few extra points before then.

[Pepe]

The week I finally decide to get rid of Kane. :face:

Ritchie on the bench too. :face:

[Weaver]

I've left Cabaye and Walters in the XI, and they're both doubtful, with Ritchie and Dann waiting in the wings to take their places.

Good start with Azpilicueta getting the assist.

Cech; Alderweireld, Azpilicueta, Bertrand; Cabaye, Sanchez, Walters, Barkley; Bony (C), Berahino, Mitrovic. Bench of Butland, Ritchie, Dann and Clyne.

[Trancemeister]

Should've kept Mahrez as captain. Hope Pelle outscores him.

[phonics]

http://i.imgur.com/U3kdPn5.png

Minus a couple points on De Bruyne due to the lack of a clean sheet. Might swap Sanchez for Ozil.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

De Gea; Toby, Dave, Zouma; Mahrez, Andre Ayew, De Bruyne, Mata; Vardy, Ighalo, Martial (C)

54 with Toby to play.

I really need to shift those two Chelsea defenders, Mata and Martial purely because Van Gaal is so insistent on him playing out left while Rooney stinks it up in the middle.

[Waffdon]

Albrighton is my first sub, but I can't really complain because Mahrez and Vardy donned it anyway.

[P_3]

What with Everton having a bunch of favourable matches coming up, I thought I'd be a clever chap and invest in Galloway. Cue Oviedo starting at left back. 20 minutes in and the cunt has been injured and Galloway has been brought on. :cool:

[Magic]

Barkley in form against the shittest team in the league. 6 goals. Nice, how many points did my captain get for that?

2. 2 fucking points.

[Boom-Boom]

I'm doing a fantasy football league with a bunch of guys from work and we're using 'TheSun - Dream Team' - I'm amazed how popular this version seems to be, it's total and utter dog shit. The official premier league version is 100x better.

No subs, no captain, very limited on transfers you can make, no live scoring (unless you pay to upgrade), shit scoring system.

Every week I have 2-3 players missing who are injured / dropped / rested.

[rush]

What's the consensus on who to captain this week?

Obvious choice is Vardy, but de Bruyne and Mahrez are both under consideration.

[Baz]

I've gone for Vardy.

Originally had Giroud but changed it because Leicester.

[Samadini]

Watford are stiff, don't fancy the usual Leicester goal fest.

Kompany clean sheet and header from a corner, triple captain job.

[Weaver]

No transfers for me this week, I'm going to wait until after the international break.

Cech; Clyne, Azpilicueta, Bertrand; Sanchez, Ritchie, Barkley, Walters; Berahino, Bony (C), Mitrovic.
Butland, Dann, Cabaye, Alderweireld.

[Samadini]

http://i.imgur.com/RufdNAN.png

Tempted to put Igahlo in for Payet.

[Weaver]

Berahino on the bench today for WBA - Cabaye is his replacement, but I would've thought Berahino will come on at some point, no matter the score.

[phonics]

Swapped Elliott out because they said he was injured :moop:

[Pepe]

Forgot to pick my team again. :face:

[phonics]

Took Elliott out for Gomes and Mata out for Sterling so it's going swimmingly so far.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Finally take out Mata and he scores :\

[Andy]

Put Mane and Pelle in for a pretty tasty run of fixtures and they've let me down.

Need points from Bony (c) today, also have KDB, Kolarov, Sanchez and Moreno to play.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

43 with Toby and KDB to play.

I forgot to change Martial as captain but at least he got an assist.

[Andy]

Going to be a nightmare for me to get Aguero in. Hopefully he's not going to be fit to start till GW16.

[P_3]

18 with four to play. :lol:

[QE Harold Flair]

Always forget to rotate the keeper. Butland got 10 points, naturally.

[Weaver]

Bony off with a hamstring injury just now. Wanker.

[Samadini]

That is a bit annoying, I was going to get him out of the team this week for Lukaku, but thought best to leave it for the next gameweek, given Man City have Villa today.

Everton's games look great for a while.

[Andy]

Bony was my captain. Fuck sake.

Should have done Bony to Lukaku two weeks ago.

[Weaver]

I've only had three players score more than two points this week - Cech (3), Walters (3) and Bertrand (8). The rest got 2 bar Clyne (0) and Berahino (1). Terrible week.

My bench managed 20 between them, my actual XI only got 27.

[Magic]

Got 48 points. That's Not bad given my recent run. I've absolutely thrown any chances I had of money back, though.

[Weaver]

Forgot all about this, but fortunately I sorted my team out pre-international break.

Cech; Alderweireld, Dann, Bertrand, Azpilicueta; Sanchez, Barkley, Cabaye; Berahino, Mitrovic, Aguero (C)
Bench of Butland, Walters, Ritchie and Clyne.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Rojo taking 8 points away from me :moop:

What a wanker.

[niko_cee]

That 28th minute must be just about my best fantasy minute ever.

[John Arne]

I've had a cracking week. 81pts with Kane to play.

[Magic]

58. Annoyingly I had Barkley as captain last week when he did fuck all. Still Lukaku made up for it a bit.

Also Pelle for Giroud was lol, as was Vardy on the bench.

[Weaver]

Sanchez hasn't contributed anything for a few games now, and the dreaded 'rest' has been mentioned by Wenger, although that could be against Dinamo in the Champions League this week.

I think I need to bin off Berahino and Mitrovic before the next GW - Rondon has taken the main strikers role for WBA while Mitrovic hasn't scored more than 2 points for weeks, and got subbed off yesterday for Cissé when we were 2-0 down.

[Baz]

I've got Cabaye as captain with Barkley as Vice Captain. Don't suppose there's any chance of Cabaye not playing later? Hopefully he gets a hattrick of penalties.

[niko_cee]

He's playing, so here's hoping for the second option.

[Andy]

Went early to beat price rises and bought in Aguero and Stanislas for De Bruyne and Pelle. My next move will probably be Ayew or Mane to Erikssen to cover some of the Spurs points.

Then look at downgrading one of VVD, Bellerin or Kolarov so I can upgrade another one of my front 7. Possibly Vardy to Kane or maybe Mahrez to Coutinho.

[Andy]

Have you got a Spurs defender Andy? Been looking at Erikssen myself. He'd be alot more popular if Ozil wasn't bringing home points every week.

No, I had a choice to bring in a Spurs defender or Moreno and went with Moreno. Erikssen is quietly having a pretty decent season again.

[Magic]

Masterstroke bringing in Pelle who's now fucking suspended for Giroud. I've kept him in though and have bought in Sagna instead for Mongala.

[John Arne]

94pts last week :drool:
I ain't changing a dam thing.

[P_3]

Tempted to captain Ighalo against the mediocrity that is Villa, but might have to settle for Aguero by default.

[Mazuuurk]

My front three are Ighalo, Lukaku (got him for Pelle) and Vardy. I dont quite feel that Aguero's 4 extra million is worth the extra value he may provide over any of those really. He'd have to go on a fucking insane streak then.

[Mazuuurk]

Anyone else having trouble accessing the site BTW?

[Andy]

Took out De Bruyne and Pelle for Aguero and Stanislas. Was fed up of always having to bench a point scorer. So end up with Stanislas on the bench with 14 points! Hoping Sanchez or Ayew get a rest tomorrow.

[niko_cee]

De Bruyne (c).

:cool:

[Magic]

Barkley (c).

:cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ozil (c).

:confused:

[phonics]

Ighalo has been absolutely killing it for me. What a beast.

[Andy]

Lukaku (c)

:belgium:

[P_3]

Aguero (c). :boydy:

[Andy]

This is such a shit season for fantasy football. I've had about two good weeks and everyone has the same players.

Whenever someone gets injured it's always so obvious who will be bought in, this week everyone and their dog will do Sanchez to Ozil. I am looking at Eriksen as a bit of a differential.

Hopefully a few new players start hitting form because it's all a bit dull at the moment.

[niko_cee]

I'm getting by on a combination of miraculous captaincy selections and there being no major penalty at the moment for not having the star men (Aguero, Sanchez, Vardy). It probably can't continue, but I'm keeping my wildcard and boost options in the tank for a late season double gameweek bonanza, hopefully. January really can't come soon enough so I can have a proper overhaul.

My team really is wank.

[Samadini]

Aguero being dead, Costa and hazard being shit, Man Utd not having a decent forward and Leicester being Leicester all at the same time have proper borked the game so far.

[CJay]

Sanchez has been rubbish aside from a run of 3 games a couple of weeks ago. Glad he's injured now so I have a chance to get rid of him. Tempted to take a punt on Hazard for home to Bournemouth next week.

It's becoming more apparent with each week that Odion Ighalo is the key to doing well this season. :moop:

[Andy]

Find it hard to look past Ozil with Sunderland and Villa.

[Mazuuurk]

Good week for me. Now I'm finally sort of content with my team. I have Vardy, Lukaky and Ighalo up front and while Aguero may find form sooner or later, it would have to be some form to be worth the extra 5m and selling Lukaku. Basically he'd need 12+ points per week for the rest of the season I think.

Sanchez in midfield may have to go now. It's a little irritating that like 200k people have sold him before they have even said much about his injury.

I'm also tempted to take a punt with Hazard again. Didn't work out for me first half of the season, but maybe now is the turn of the tide for Chelsea, they seem to at least have their defence somewhat in order again.

[Waffdon]

Took Coutinho out, he donned Chelsea and started to get more than 2 points. Same with Barkley last three weeks (don't even know why I took him out in hindsight) and now De Bruyne this week.

[Baz]

Captain Benteke this weekend.

When he scores 6. :drool:

[Pen]

This has ben my worst year ever to date. Everything just goes to shit almost every game week from captain choices and in game injuries to transfers and freak results. Still haven't given up though, but as Andy says, it's hard to make ground when everyone can afford the same form players all the time.

[Samadini]

http://s18.postimg.org/kjmpuy9rt/mon.png

Brought Hazard in and given him the armband. Surely his season starts now.

[Andy]

Have had to bench Aguero. Luckily I still have a fairly strong side:

Hennesey

Bellerin, Kolarov, VVD and Moreno

Mahrez, Mane (c), KDB and Ayew

Vardy and Lukaku

Aguero on the bench and 3m in the bank.

[Weaver]

I had three injuries and a Mitrovic to deal with, so out go him, Aguero, Sanchez and Diafra Sakho, replacing them with Kane, Lukaku, Mata and Pellé (C)

Cech; Clyne, Alderweireld, Azpilicueta, Bertrand; Walters, Barkley, Mata; Kane, Lukaku, Pellé (C)
Butland, Cabaye, Dann, Ritchie.

[niko_cee]

If Tekkers doesn't play tomorrow Giroud will end up as my captain.

:face:

[Samadini]

My bench is donning proceedings.

[Andy]

Thought my defence would at least do ok this week. Wrong.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Some massive twat is obviously going to have made Mahrez captain :(

[phonics]

Shove your Jamie Vardy. Ordin Igalhos having a party :cool:

Probably my most inspired fantasy pick.

[Waffdon]

Such a shit year to start in the fourth week :D

Everyone has the same players, really. Feels like Wijnaldum is the only player that does fairly well that I have and no one else does.

[Weaver]

I'm stinking the place up this season... My guys simply aren't scoring enough goals. I miss last season :(

I think I'm going to be binning off Azpilicueta and Walters for next week, as they've been benched. Not sure who I fancy as their replacements just yet.

[Weaver]

I have done - Walters and Azpilicueta have been replaced by Ramsey and Wollscheid.

I think I've finally got 15 players who are likely to play their games, which is much better than before.

Looking at Cech; Clyne, Alderweireld, Dann; Cabaye, Barkley, Mata, Ramsey; Pelle, Lukaku, Kane (C), but Butland/Wollscheid are possible swaps with Ritchie and Bertrand also available.

[Magic]

Cabaye has done absolutely fuck all for 4 weeks straight so I dropped him, only for him to score/clean sheet. Also he was going to come on if De Bruyne hadn't come on for a pointless 20 minutes.

Glad I transferred Pelle though, he also has done fuck all since I brought him in. Giroud (C) given his hatrick midweek.

[niko_cee]

Captaincy picks have rather gone down the toilet (and the team with them). I reckon I've single-handedly saved Steve McLaren's job. I expect some kind of thanks.

[Magic]

Firmino coming on on the 86th minute cemented Cabaye's place on the bench. :moop:

[phonics]

It's time for Kane to get the fuck out which means he's getting a brace next week.

[P_3]

Alli on the bench. :(

[Waffdon]

I chose all out attack for the lolz and two of my midfielders were injured. :)

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mahrez captain :eyemouth:

[The Merse]

After Gameweek 17.

Tables haven't been updated yet, you pleb.

[Andy]

This game is shot this year. Not fun.

[Mazuuurk]

Agreed. It doesn't get better by the fact that I can't make the right call on any fucking thing.

This would have been a decent gameweek for me if I had kept Wijnaldum out and left Ighalo on. Instead I figured Ighalo hasn't performed against the "big" teams (:moop:) and took him off, while I sold Hazard (in whom I've kept way too much faith throughout the season) for Wijnaldum who only got 2 points.

[Baz]

I've triple-captained Aguero. :yn:

Oh and omg don't post my real name etc.

[Magic]

So just because you're doing shit the game is shit? Good one.

I've had some pretty strong weeks recently after an absolute dire October/November. Alderweld in for Clyne but pretty happy with my team. Hopefully Vardy isn't injured.

[Baz]

Andy's in 3rd, mate.

[Samadini]

Want Aguero in, but how can you get rid of Vardy, Lukaku or Ighalo?

[Baz]

I've sacked off Lukaku. He's gotta stop scoring sometime (albeit probably not yet cos they've got Newcastle) but still have Vardy and Benteke.

[Magic]

Andy's in 3rd, mate.

That's shit for Andy who's normally eons ahead.

[Samadini]

Went with binning Vardy for Aguero and made him captain.

Benched.

[Samadini]

If a cup match is drawn, then the following tie-breaks will be applied until a winner is found:

Most goals scored in the Gameweek
Fewest goals conceded in the Gameweek
Virtual coin toss

All of my defenders and my goalkeeper kept a clean sheet, but I'm going out of the cup in the first round by virtue of having Walcott and Ozil. They conceded 8 of the 11 goals my entire team conceded. What a load of wank.

Well that and not bothering with setting a proper vice captain, which would have been De Bruyne. Probably the first time I've not set it, had no idea Aguero wasn't going to play.

[phonics]

I didn't even qualify for the cup.

Meanwhile, fuck Chelsea.

http://i.imgur.com/kECBB3J.png

[Weaver]

70 for these fixtures, with my back four and goalkeeper all getting clean sheets.

I've made my transfers before the press conferences this week, as I reckon Pellé will fall in price if he's ruled out, so out go him and Mata for Deeney and de Bruyne.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

47 this GW (I forgot to switch Captain to KDB) but I did win my cup game.

[Chrissy]

I'm doing this in competition with my son and father. We can't pick each other's players. Needless to say I think my points tally is fucking dire due to not being able to pick up Mahrez etc.
