GW 33 Matchday Thread

FHFC

36 sees me up 5,000 to 17k.

Creeping up on my league top three over the last couple of weeks again too.

hurlingman97

F*CK you Hazard have Rosenior's 12 on my bench. F you too Baker.

8-10

18pts after bonus. Jesus. Dropped about 10K places.

Could be my worst GW of the season...

dahat

132k to 88k, delighted with that. Big hitters to come tomorrow so hopefully maintain that position.

mailburner

35 with 5 to play

58k overall
was around 179k 4 weeks back

Ok just checked it was only 6-7K of a drop but still an awful week so far.

Still undecided about Mannone/Adrian and whether to put Rosenior or Ward ahead of Coleman...

Didn't change anything in the end...

Ouch.

Rosenior and Ward with respectively 12 and 5 on the bench.
Of course when I finally get in a City defender they forget how to keep a CS :rolleyes:...

Second week in a row with a 12 pts defender on the bench. I was not feeling comfortable leaving Rosenior and Ward on the bench but couldn't rationally justify playing them ahead of either Azpi, Demichelis or Coleman. I'm now ultra reliant on Liverpool result tomorrow.

BTW 23 from 5. Low average I'd say...


- edit -

Can I assume now that Guardian team sheets are correct ? They were spot on with Hazard. Would have gained 11 pts had I benched him...

HighClass

Don't even want to look at my FPL page after getting 19. I'll take a look after the game on Monday!

prettyboy81

49pts & Captain Yaya did okay.

Once Suarez doesn't go nuts today my green arrows should stay green.

Still have Suarez, Lukaku, Flanagan, Henderson, Coleman & Mannone.

Iused2likebusts

43 pts with suarez capt, sturridge, lukaku, baines and mannone to go.

El Horseboxo

On 21 points. Thought it was a crap week until I noticed it's only from 3 players. Most around me in my leagues are only slightly higher but only have 3 or 4 playing today. 2 of those being SAS with Suárez as captain.

Who_8_Paul?

Need a food poisoning incident at the Everton or Liverpool team hotels today so I get my second sub on - Puncheon with 16 points. I want to cry.

roryc

29 with 5 to play. Moved up 300 places to 4,300. Need another wondershow from Skrtel although will take 6 points. Coleman and SAS don't really matter as everyone has them, although I think 20% of people captained someone else so Suarez scoring a few would be nice.

Mint Sauce

Fell 30k places yesterday :eek: If only Jose kept Hazard on the bench, things could have been so different. Need SaS, and Lukaku to go nuts today, with Coleman getting in on the action, and Gerrard to miss a penalty with Henderson getting the rebound, finishing with loads of nail bitting hoping Mannone has a cleanie and a pen save on Monday night.

Any word on why Clichy was left out of the City squad? If he has any kind of a injury for a few weeks then Kolorov would be a must have defender.

You'd expect Clichy to start at liverpool if recent selections are anything to go by, then kolarov vs sunderland home.

I have Kolorov but having him or clichy is frustrating. Zabaleta is the most consistent starter on the other wing. cant afford him

yeah i was thinking about kolarov for the dgw but pellegrini rotates the two it seems, with defensive minded clichy(in theory! as an arsenal fan) starting the tougher games.

IsMiseMyself

I have Demichelles for the DGW because I couldn't afford Zab and he seems to be a lock-in.

God, I hope Studge and Lukaku do something today. Leading since the 2nd gameweek and under threat from an inactive 2nd place! He was almost 100 points behind me two weeks and then Mata and Ward happened! >_<

finnharpsboy

osman booked

finnharpsboy

osman off barkley on

IsMiseMyself

Osman's off. Cut his head in a tackle with Sagna. Yellow carded for it too. Barkley on.

Paully D

Lukaku's playing wide right :rolleyes:

thunderdog

Great that Barkely has come on. He comes in for me now off my bench for Rooney not playing

Now I have the Dilemma of weather to bring him back or not at a four point hit next week depending on today.

lukaku assist

Dempsey

Naismith, no assist

IsMiseMyself

Naismith (Lukaku)

I think the assist counts as Lu's anyway, though he should have scored.

Dr. Bre

here we go again assist or no assist?

Lucas Hood

Been given as a Lukaku assist already.

Swiper the fox

Why on earth would it not be an assist, his shot was saved and Naismith scored directly from the rebound.

Naismith is pulling in serious points lately. (when I say lately I mean in the past 7 days, just looked at his stats:o)

CSF

Have I mentioned before that I think Mirallas is ****e?

IsMiseMyself

Fun game so far. Hopefully the tempo is kept up and Lukaku gets a goal now as well. That'd make my day.

Everton are looking seriously sharp.

Lucas Hood

Follow @myfpl they have it set up to tweet out when anyone points change. Whether it's a goal, assist or a card.

@fpl_alerts do the same but include bps too.

Ha I only suggested him the other day as good cheapie for the DGW, if only he was guaranteed to start like lukaku

Dempsey

I'll take the assist but I think FPL is working with the loosest definition of an assist this season.

Lukaku has some of the most dubious scores in FPL history this season.

Mint Sauce

Not sure what I want Barkley to do, he is my first choice sub. Fear a mountain of points on the bench after Hazard came on to score 1 point yesterday.

What? It is a straight up rebound. One of the least debatable assists possible. There have been some sketchy ones over the year no doubt, but this is one of the more bread and butter ones.

He's had a few dodgy ones but this one is nailed on. Can you recall a similar incident which didn't result in an assist being given?

That exception wasnt always in place in seasons gone by and the current rebound rule for assists is a nonsense because it completely contradicts the assist definition.

Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.

Great finish by Lukaku!

Great goal Lukaku! One more now, you beauty!
