Gameweek 9 Matchday Thread

Scorpion Sting

39 from 8 with Di Maria, Fabregas and Baines to play. The aim is to break 50 points.

Mr.Prodston

I'm on 25 once BPs are added and while I'm not dancing around the place like a lunatic I'm not unduly worried like many are.

The big scorers this week are Bony and Sanchez whilst a smattering will have Berahino, Sakho and Silva. Sterling and Aguero faltered but not too many viable alternatives did anything. Some will do well with clean sheets and others may not but there's no crisis really as of now at all. Any score after last week will look poor but remember you'll always see high scores mentioned in here which won't correspond too much with reality.

It'll be grand

fantasyfootballfix.com. It's a nice site to see price rises/drops, averages for GW (including top 1000), and captain/vc %.

Cheers for that, I hadn't signed up as I was a bit skeptical about giving username & password. Hadn't spotted the team id option.

Some about of work has gone into it!

38 with fab,dimaria costa to go..my defence giving me some dignity today

zl1whqvjs75cdy

34 with 3 to play. Southampton cleanie saved me some pain. Aguero was a disaster and siggy being injured didn't help either.

Scorpion Sting

FF Fix predicting I'll rise 8k places to 6k, I'll take that.

They have me from 82k to 29k... That'll make the MOTD pizza taste better!

Mine not showing at all yet.

not that I want it to

SantryRed

27 from 6 including captain Aguero. Not too diappointed tbh. It'll be a low scoring week. Plan is to move on Siggy for another 4.4m midfielder and then upgrade Quinn to someone decent the following week.

Think he's referring to FFF.

Quite a bit of this floating around twitter. No reliable source yet though.

It's pretty terrible having Costa in your team, wanting him to get a huge score, but also being a United fan :pac:

Once Costa gets his hattick and Di Maria/Falcao net 4 the universe will balance everything out!

FHFC

Bloody hell, hope they're right!! I was 425k at the end of GW7.

I'm also a united fan
I'm actually in Manchester at the moment as I'm going to game .
I had falcao till this week but reluctantly sold him to make way for aguero this week
I have costa and very nearly captained him
At least I have adm
3 2 united
Di Maria involvement in all goals and 2 for costa
Win win

KevIRL

Wow, a drop from 16k to 45k. Nor good

Rikand

28k to 53k

ah sure

29 points after one bap for Clyne. Heaton, Baines, ADM, and Cesc tomorrow. FFF seems to think I'll stay right around my current OR so not bad. Everton penalty will do me as long as Baines doesn't miss the target. Chambers sitting with 7 points on my bench, but I'm 2/2 cleanies anyway

Down 2k to 25k, so they were pretty much spot on. I've decided I want Heaton to save the penalty and then Baines to score from the rebound

SantryRed

22 average. Down from 2k -> 3k.

6 players to play though! Hoping Costa has a big game tomorrow.

Scorpion Sting

Up 6k places to 8k and with 3 left to play tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to stay inside the top 10k this gameweek. In my 2 previous years playing I was never this high in the rankings this early on. Comfortably leading my private league as well so things are looking up for me atm.

PARlance

FFF a bit out with my projection.
Happy all the same, 82k to 42k.
Up 501k places since the start of the last GW.

It'll be a case of holding on over the next 2 days though. Would be great to stay within top 50k.

extra gravy

Up to 24k, highest rank of season so far but expect to drop back tomorrow.

Fowler87

Dropped 4k to 15k overall after my 31(-4). Expect another fall tomorrow with only Fabregas, Falcao and Jagielka to play.

Lemlin

Down only 3k to 22k. Considering my GW rank is 900k that's a great result.

My two Swansea lads, Naylor and Siggy, managed to get me up to 28 points from 7.

Kaboul, Di Maria, Fab and Costa/Duff left. Would be great if Kaboul turned out to be an inspired signing by knocking in a goal!

Iused2likebusts

52 from 8. Fab, costa and hutton to go up to 110k from 330k and up from 850k the week before. Just shows you how quickly things can change. Silva and sanchez the main reason behind my good score so far . A quiet day from ADM tomorrow would be nice.

Scorpion Sting

Damn Berahino dropped back from 2 bps to 1 bp so I'm on 38 with 3 to play.

Necronomicon

My 35 brings me up to 7,178, very surprised to see green arrows. Annoying that Chambers sits on the bench with his 7 (played Wisdom ahead of him) but at least he's there if Costa doesn't play.

I think we can both fully back Jose's latest plan....

FHFC

FFF about 4k off.

Up to 20,500 with 49 points.

Captain Lazarus, Fab and Hutton to play.

Nothing too mental from ADM and anything decent (starting with an appearance) from Costa should see me hold or improve on that rank.

Hackers

Up to 10k from 40k after a score of 54, only Costa and Fabregas left though. Green arrows every week since gameweek 1 where I started off at 1,400,000 +

If you hovered over the question mark on that screen it gave you an expected range of your rank aswell. They said I'd be 6k, gave a range of 4k - 9k, ended up 8k.

Even worse. Down to 32,500.

Paully D

34, so I'm up to early 15k from early 19k with Baines, Costa, Fabregas and Chadli to go tomorrow. In a way I wouldn't mind Costa dropping out as Chambers would come in with 7.

I think anyone hitting 50 this gameweek will be in a good position. 55-60+ would be a superb gameweek.

internet_user

up to 39k, but with only 3 to play, will drop significantly

FutureGuy

31 from 8. As Mr. P said, nothing to be concerned about.

Dropped maybe 1500 places to 11500 after my 30 points today. Solid enough. Hoping Costa returns something tomorrow.

Plus I'm 14 poinus ahead in my draft game. A lot will depend on the Everton game.

wonski

51 points. 5k places up to 1238 in overall ranking. Delighted.

Chesty08

Score of 21. Down from 800 overall to 2.3k

Still have 5 to play. Dropped to 2nd in the Boards pay league & 2nd for the overall October monthly prize Need to catch about 20 with Baines , Duff, Di Maria & Fab v Hazard... Not optimistic ((

falcao a doubt after picking up a knock in training
lvg says he will have to see how he is tomorrow!

Nib

2285>8315

Oh the pain, the pain of it all.

Sooner or Later

28 from 6

Only dropped 2k to 11k so no panic yet

skippy15

Diego Costa has trained with the rest of the squad on saturday and has now traveled to Manchester as normal.

Mourinho you mofo!

He's 100% starting tomorrow. And bagging 2.

Thank Christ Costa is starting. Just over took my main rival today and he has sanchez as vc with Costa as captain. Long as Costa doesn't go mental tomorrow it'll be all good.

I hope he's really fit. Otherwise it could be a 10 min early cameo (remember last year's final Liga game and CL final).

IsMiseMyself

Glad he's starting. He'll surely score. Wish I'd captained him, but it's debatable as to whether that was actually the right move.

I'll leave it to the special one to describe those who captained Costa....
