It came back then took an age to load the team page I got on to see Super Boyd on 4 points though!!

52pts with Debuchy and Welbeck to play today but am actually disappointed, could have been closer to 80pts; Tadic missed pen, 2 Villains failing to keep CS, took Barnes out of starting XI and he scored, even Frank was robbed of an extra 2pts by being taken off within a minute of the magic 60min mark

Thats still pretty good! How many do you have to come in?

I'm 40 with just Debuchy left today and 4 tomorrow and 1 on Monday.

Very frustrating!

35 points. Not great. Wellbeck just left in this one. Took a 2 week loan punt as well so -14

Siggy/Sterling (and possibly Lovren) tomorrow, Zamora/Green/Baines for Monday. have Ade on my bench too but he's gone awol again it seems. -12 off my score for my triple loan

Yeh its nice that it is small though. Getting a lot more enjoyment out than FPL its a nice new challenge. Even on FFS its not getting a lot of chatter outside of the rare articles.

KevIRL

Wellbeck late assist drags me up to 41.

manual_man

after subs 61(-12) for me with Siggy and Sterling tomorrow

Dearg81

I'm still hanging in there, 35 points with 7 left. My team is in bits though, I badly need the free transfers now.

make a bumper loan. i'm pretty set on doing a 4 player 4-week loan for GW17-20

Is this worth it though? Gw 18 and GW 20 are single match day gameweeks. No manual subs and only have to field 11 from the squad of 25.

jimmii

Down 8 places today. 4 players out for 2 points total hopefully see a little jump up tomorrow.

Not a great stretch to do it over. Unless you are going to not field 11 I wouldn't go too crazy.

I did a 5 man loan 6 weeks ago and 4 of them got injured at some point :-)


I'm only playing for fun now so will try again. I have Ramsey and Adebayor sitting on my bench doing nothing so might as well.

i reckon its worth the risk. this is what i'm thinking:

Austin/Sanchez/Baines(or possibly City def)/Nasri(or possibly Silva) IN

Aguero/Ramsey/Cabella/Moore OUT

So i'd be replacing 4 non-playing/injured with 4 players with serious points potential (and improved captaincy options)

The 4 duds above are no use to me, and i have some others (Ade, Lovren, Bruce) who aren't seeing game-time either. Options at present are severely limited

Between extra points in general, and extra points(hopefully) from captaincy, i'd be fairly confident of making back the 40 points with interest over the 4 gameweeks

KevIRL

Down to 62nd. Free falling

KevIRL

Stick with Costa as capt or twist to RVP?

Might be tempted to punt in Pozo instead of Austin his fixtures take a downswing for the next few weeks.

Tricky one any decent captain option for MD3? I would switch if you had a decent back up option if not then stick.

QPR have 3 of their next 4 at home (where they score all of their goals)

Naismith and caulker. Doubt Naismith will start though. If RVP clicks though it could allow me to make up some serious ground...

Jeez yeah short term isn't so bad! CPL are a very different prospect to last season same goes for Swansea.

Hmmm don't think I would risk it in that case. Not sure what odds RVP is to score but he would need to be scoring more than half the time to justify it given the MD3 options.

jimmii

Good old Phil Jones nice to get those points after him sitting in the reserves so long!!

KevIRL

RVP capt will help

that's your loan paid off already, isn't it

KevIRL

Bounced back to 37th.

Caulker will sub in for Naylor for the loss of no points. Really need a baines blank tomorrow though

jimmii

Down 2 places today Jagielka to go tomorrow be nice to finish with a little move up!

Nice when its so easy to make the changes! Last night I made four changes for a two point loss! So many 1 pointers this week.

manual_man

meh. dropped back 50 places. baines/green/zamora to come in tomorrow for sterling/debuchy/guzan(2,3,3). tempted to throw the armband on baines. on costa as is

manual_man

Changed the (C) over to Baines. 54pts with himself and Green to go

Wamble

I'd be tempted to twist from Costa to Baines tonight. Long overdue some attacking points. Don't have that option so I'll be bringing in Zamora and cheering him on :pac:

Moved up 100 places overall this week despite taking a 20 point loan hit. Sanchez and Sakho in for Aguero and Noble.

Wamble

No Zamora or Caulker. Naismith starts.

Have Zamora too. But he's not starting so he'll stay on my bench

Welcome btw. Haven't seen you posting on the forum before

Wamble

Thank you. Gonna throw Zamora on myself, for Sterling. He's probably coming on for 15 mins and getting 1 point but will take that chance.

KevIRL

Hardly worth subbing in Naismith for wellbeck. Seeing as I can't play 4 strikers Caulkers omission means that my interest in this match mostly centres around baines getting as few points as possible

Hackers

Unusually both my everton players start tonight, Naismith and McGeady. 73 points after subbing them in for the week. Got well inside top 1000 for 1st time this season over the weekend. Will try to post more in here, I do see there are 3 or 4 regulars so should make the effort too!!

Yeah not many posting but we keep the fire going while we wait for more to arrive!
