109 points.
44 point haul from my Liverpool trio saved my week. 68 in total, and it's still red arrows all around.
One hand on the draft trophy unless Bailly scores a brace tomorrow.
Masking how awful I'm doing in the main game. Was in the top 60k last year, currently in 1.2million this season. I've only managed to field 11 players once in the last 5 weeks, the rest I didn't even manage 10. I am shit.
Deary me
Yeah, I've got Kenedy sitting in third spot on my bench.
Finally paying off for my draft team.
I've just seen next week.
What a fucking joke.
Yeah, it a naughty one.
Not sure whether it's worth burning the free hit chip on it.
I'm definitely using Free Hit on it as I still have my wildcard as well.
I used mine already so I'm fucked.
Just realised that Lingard getting 1 minute is going to keep Kenedy's 16 points on my bench (all other subs are being used).
My entire team next week is: Hegazi, Zanka, Mooy, Salah, Firmino and Niasse.
Fun times.
I've got 11. This is when it all starts getting fun.
I'm just waiting to see what this Walcott thing is about as half their team seems to be on 75%. Not sure whether to get Shaqiri in there instead.
Should be fine. Just cramp.
But it's also Walcott so could be out for 6 months.
Swapped out Pogba for Son this week
Got my captaincy wrong but it seems most did.
Indeed. 80% had Kane, Salah or Aguero captain.Originally Posted by phonics

10 for me.
Used my wildcard but saving my free hit for cup semi final week.
The Free Hit chip, is that like a wildcard that you can tweak around the transfers all week until the deadline after you play it?
Yeah. As many changes as you want till the deadline.
I've been in an infuriating 1 point either way battle with someone for about a month and a half now. Thought Son had easily got me past him for a week only to find out he has Mhkitaryan.
I bought him in for the Everton game where he got three assists. May get Aubameyang to go alongside him for the Stoke game if Kane is out long term.
Tried to get one over on my rivals this weekend by making Firmino captain instead of Salah, but that has backfired spectacularly.
Yep.
I'm looking at 63 odd points in a game week where there was four games and I'm probably going to get a bunch of red arrows.
Niasse didn't play but I should get 68 after bonus points and Salah switches from vice captain to captain.
Seems like everyone played their free hit, bought 3 Liverpool players and are scoring 80+ points.
I thought I was being clever by building my squad towards this game week. That free hit chip is crap.
The game was a lot better when it was just one wildcard for the season and no chips.
91 points with Firmino captain
Free Hit is a very stupid chip specifically because there's only ever one of these weeks so when else would you use it.
Same.
I'm a twit
There's another set of blanks in 35. You're right though, these chips were bought into just make it easier for casual players.91 points with Firmino captain

I've kind of given up in the last few weeks but left Salah as (vice, but effectively) captain, so have actually gone up several places in the league. Says a lot about my managerial skills.
I've gone down 100,000 places this round. Fuck off.
3 players on the park for me and 67 points. All hail Amenhotep.
I had 7, including Salah, but captained the lesbian instead and got 63.
The highest score this week is disgusting.
He joined this week and used his triple captain on Salah.
166 fucking points.
It's always a fresh account. It would make too much sense if they made it so you had to have been in the game more than a week to be eligible.
Is it people trying to win the Manager of the Month/Week prize? If that counts, I might start doing that. There's a natural disadvantage from not gaining value over the season but the ability to plan out 4 game weeks seems way easier.
If it weren't for Gross I'd be having an absolute stinker. I have to hope Jose carries through with his threat to bench Sanchez for the FA Cup or I am truly fucked. 42 points on a double gameweek with a triple captain played. Christ.
I took a 12 point hit for this week and I'm sitting on 47 before taking that into consideration.
Alli, Lingard and Ozil all getting dropped for no particular reason was bad enough, but the highlight has definitely been my decision to bring in De Gea for 4 points.
He collected three points vs West Brom, whilst his opposite number in that match scored nine while sitting on my bench
I've made a team on this every season since about 2008, but this is the first time I've come anywhere near following it through the whole campaign. Had hoped to crack 500k but looks unlikely now.
It's getting tight at the top. I've had a poor week so far but still got chance of a reasonable points haul with quite a few players still to play again. I'm using my free hit for next week. Looking at something like:
Cech; Walker, Baines, Robertson; Iwobi, Zaha, Salah, Sane; Aubameyang, Firmino, Jesus with Miliojevic, Long, Mariappa on bench.
That double gameweek in two rounds is what's going to determine this season for all leagues.
Most people will be able to field a decent team next week I reckon.
Possibly.
I still got my bench boost for that. Aiming to have my entire squad playing twice but there might be one or two exceptions.
lol Sanchez didn't even play. I would have been better off captaining literally anyone else.
Fuck Jose Mourinho
I used triple captain on Gabriel Jesus for last week’s double gameweek, and now I’m using Bench Boost for the final one. Just have to hope none of the managers do anything silly and play the reserves or something.
9 points separating the top three in the TTH League, and Sama wrapped up the Draft League a few weeks ago.
No De Gea, no Smalling and Son on the bench. This can get tricky.
Swapped him out for Smalling who's been replaced by Bailly and isn't even on the bench. Scenes.Fuck Jose Mourinho
Vetonghen injured in the warm up. lol, half my teams not playing. There's been one guy I've been aiming to finish above all season, if this is where he overtakes me I'm going to seethe for days.
