Hopefully not as i would love to stay inside 100k, 8 weeks of green arrows, dreamland!

My main private league is full of Suarez captainers, must be all Pool fans.

Coutinho is a great player, but he's never gonna be one of those ones who does well on the the likes of FPL.

Please expand, why do you think that?

Liverpool just scored 5 and he didn't even get an assist.

Have Flanagan, Suarez (C) and Mig

You must be delighted with your haul after that fantastic Pool performance

He was heavily involved in many of the attacks though which would indicate that those will turn into goals and assists over the course of time. Not enough to justify the price he is at, and I won't be touching him accordingly, but he is the sort of player to get a good haul of FF points, just not as many as the other players in his price bracket.

I'm not even a tiniest bit annoyed I didn't captain him. Aguero and Lukaku were better choices. I was never captaining Suarez this week.

Humiliating for Spurs.

Lad in 4th in my Money league will get 106 this week.

Not even a little bit annoyed? Impressive detachment if so

BNMC

69 for the week. Not great. Aguero's injury has done untold damage to my score and team. I'm off to transfer the shit out of that Dawson lad. An absolute poisonous footballer.

Dempsey

90 in the end but im disappointed by my captain choice

Inspector Coptoor

101.
First time hitting triple figures in a couple of years

Mr. Guappa

95 points all done. Seems like Suarez as captain may be a bit of a differential this week so should rise from my 3.3k overnight position. Mignolets long overdue clean sheet was very welcome too.

Menas

82 all in, but angry that I took the armband off suarez.

G1032

77. More ground lost. FML.

IsMiseMyself

92. Pretty happy. 44 of those were Suarez's. Should see me properly back into the top 50k because quite a few people don't seem to have captained him.

77 aint that bad, over reaction?

heh.

49 points yesterday. 1 player left. Finished on 93.
Closest rival had 36 and 3 to play. Finished on 67


One of those weeks I love this game!

Cantona's Collars

Finished on 63,was going to captain Suarez but went for Hazard in the "easier game",ah well.Made ground in some leagues & lost it in others.

Alfred Borden

78 points, but could have been so much better, never not captaining Suarez again.

No. Lost more ground on leaders in private leagues. That's the bottom line really. 77 being a good or bad score is all relative to each individual on here. Could have been even worse though if I didn't have Walcott

Fair enough, like me you are stuck in a Suarez captain every game league i'd say.

Ya. A few ahead had him captain but look, it's all my own fault being in the position I'm in. Kinda looking forward to the Christmas games though. Hope to make some ground up.

Nope. I did my homework and I felt Lukaku or Aguero had a better chance.

I honestly felt that Spurs and AVB would have the tactical awareness to completely smother Liverpool in midfield (no Gerrard) and focus on reducing supply to Suarez. Not only did they not manage, they didn't even try. They let Liverpool win in midfield and the rest was a given.

I'd be annoyed if I hadn't done my homework and I chose Lukaku or Aguero and didn't try to work out who was the best.

You get days like this.

Miguel_Sanchez

It was the week I thought captaining Lukaku would allow me to make up some ground on people who would keep with Suarez.

Finished on 70 which is grand but could have been a lot more. Luckily guys ahead of me in my main two leagues made similar mistakes so it hasn't cost me too much I don't think.

frisbeeface

17 points worse off than if I had captained Suarez. I went for Aguero and still think that wasn't a bad decision - very unlucky with the injury because he definitely would have been further involved in the goal feast. Don't think I've been damaged too badly in my leagues.

Not taking the captaincy off him again though!

Necronomicon

59. That is going to hurt in the morning.

BNMC

Lads ye won't be captaining Suarez for the rest of the season. There's another 22 games left. Relax.

Let's not forget he drew a blank v Hull not so long ago. He will have his ups and downs.

I captained Aguero, he was the obvious choice really.

roryc

Thank you Luis. 87 for the week keeps me in the running, should push me up nearer 50k. Coutinho getting 3 points is a wake up call. Himself, Nasri & Terry are all walking the plank but will have to wait due to Aguero's injury.

Bit annoyed I took a 4 point hit to get Howard (2) in for Mig (6), perfect timing as always! Think its still the correct move long term. Happy enough my Chester move worked out with a clean sheet.

Fowler87

Fair play to the Suarez captainers!

KevIRL

80 points all done, never really considered Suarez as capt so cant complain about his haul, although thought Rooney would have done better than 5 pts.

Out of the FFS cup , gutted about that

kilburn

Average updated 55 happy with my 71 so, another who didnt captain Suarez

Mint Sauce

76 points, and Saurez wasn't even captain. He will be from now on though.

Rayne Wooney

15 points off the highest score, I'll probably never get closer

Mr.Nice Guy

I'm gutted. Not only do I have Paulinho in my team, not only do I have Dawson in my team, not only did I almost go with Suarez as captain but switch to Lukaku at the last moment, but I have Flanagan on the bench as my first sub.

Aaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhh.

Sooner or Later

A nice round 100 thanks to captain Luis.

Into the top 100 in the boards league:D

FHFC

Well done all the Suarez captainers. This is the one thing i dislike about this game. You can agonise about transfers, your 15 and starting 11 but at the end of the day it's the pot luck of captain choice which determines whether you succeed. This week is a good example of this.

Looking at the positives for myself, my pretty weak 67 only sees me drop from 53k to 67, although I'll slump well down my pay league as Coleman kills me there too. I'd been expecting to exit the top 100k.

Plus I won again in the FFS cup by a comfortable 10 points.

No more Mr. Nice Guy tonight then!! :pac::pac:

dahat

Feck sake, i will end up dropping 1k places overall after rising 40k places yesterday.

Ranked 134k overall now,not best placed tbh

GLaDOS

99 points brings me up to 170k, rising steadily the last few weeks. Never broken 100 points, so close :pac:

IsMiseMyself

Popped up to 36k. Highest ranking for a few weeks. Fairly chuffed.

BNMC

Down to 201,000 now after my 66. 80,000 places lost. No hope of breaking 100,000 before 2014 now.

Disaster.

I won my tie 82 to 74. Am I the last person left then? Did FHFC get through?

I've fallen from 4k last night to 8k. Despite that, I'm up 1k in places for the week so not too bad.

eh i dunno

Dropped 30k places since yesterday down to around 60k overall now

Iused2likebusts

57 pts has me drop 100k places to 250k. I have had a horrendous 4 weeks have managed to fall about 100 pts behind in my money league and the top 10k which is my aim. On paper I had such a strong team this week was expecting green arrows all round its going to take a massive turnaround from here.

Mr. Guappa

Up to 1.5k overall. Time to kick on now over the festive period!

See post 6 above yours. See you in the next round baby!!

roryc

Up to 70k, was hoping for a bit better once it updated but third consecutive green arrow so all good. 997 points, why couldn't Coutinho have just picked up an assist!

Dempsey

My GW rank was top 1k last night, it dropped to ~150k after 3 matches today, grrr. Still all green arrows though!

GillespieRoad

Dismal score of 68, Whitingham on bench Down to 151 now but with a mountain of transfer troubles.

PARlance

Shelvey owners won't be happy with Bony if watching MOTD2.... He had 5 mins to slip a pass through for a late winner but went himself... Shocking play

qwabercd

After a great run, the last 3 weeks have been poor and I've dropped from 28k to 70k.

iroced

Got 23 from 3 today. Can't believe to say that it was pretty bad... Shelvey insignifiant 2 pointer coupled with Dawson crapfulness and Suarez not captain... Should have followed my own advice and gotten a Hull or WH def for Dawson, or even Terry...

Ah well, 74 for the week (back to 7.5k overall which amazingly over my expectations, need to play Christmas right for once) and 2 FT now. No rush tonight to ditch Aguero. Not overly satisfied. But can't complain.
