Dont think I'm willing to give up that many points! Am only going to ditch Yaya and Silva for Barkley and Lukaku. Happy to keep the armband on Kun too.

yeah its a fair few points to give up... though i have Vardy and Kane already so i thinks it's probably worth it bringing in Lukaku for Kun and give him the armband. if Willian starts i'll probably bring him in for Payet too he'll probably be good for 3 points anyway if he doesn't score or assist, so worth the risk i think should he get attacking returns! Chelsea's performance in the cup was brilliant attacking-wise so i'm expecting them to score at least one.

Yeh with the rules guess it's easy to justify taking out a 5 still going by fpl rules subconsciously I think! I only have defenders (or Behrami which is probably worse!) to bring in for Payet though so not really willing to risk it.

up to 81, despite the Lukaku(C) fail. Barkley the hero. Azpi with a handy 8 too

Pretty unlucky with the captaincy change. Had Barkley as well what a star! I have a ton of points on the bench/reserves though it's ridiculous!

Markx

Oh boy. Only gained 2 tonight even with Barkley. I'm making the same mistakes again and again - can't resist a punt

Yeh my perfect score was 118 I think. Would have been nice! Can't complain with 88 though hoping it's going to see me get back to where I started the week. Hoping not too many had Chelsea defenders.

benched Huth for his goal again

arrrrgghhhh!

51 with Payet and Cedric now hopefully one of them can chip in with something. Mahrez benched in both games unfortunately!

infuriating isn't it? yeah Huth and Lukaku benched here, still managed 68 none left today, Ozil(C), Willian and Bellerin tomorrow so will be 56 with those 3 left after i make subs

This are the only points benched so far not like the ridiculous 40+ of last week! I have Ozil, Azpi, Smalling and Kosc available tomorrow have a couple of blanks in the team so won't drop many points. Have Courtois too but Lloris is keeping him on the bench again.

jimmii

62 after 11 from Cedric & Payet. Kosc , Azpi & Ozil coming in for 4 points. Have a couple of 4s I could take out for Smalling but don't think thats really worth it. Kun will be keeping the armband too.

jimmii

Up 22 places today. Just realised that last week I only went down 1 place so close to that elusive grey arrow!

Markx

36 with 5 to play - grim. Sanchez hat trick would perk me up tho!

Have you Sanchez captain? He's one of those players who can easily be a week saver alright! If I end up with a green then I'll be happy not going to ask for too much!

Yup - he saved nothing. Had him captain in FPL too. Didn't really look at the races today unfortunately. Cech is a monster in this game.

That double save was unreal. Those last 4 games for Cech is pretty impressive 8, 4, 9, 9 thats some serious scoring! He's the new Butland!

manual_man

88pts. well happy with that

jimmii

How is everyone looking for next week? I have 11 MD1ers (but 2 are GKs) and 6 MD2ers on the bench. Have Cedric & Behrami in the MD1 bunch so who knows what will happen with them.

jimmii

Only two players who didn't blank but still managed 41 with Azpi and Courtois up next nice start to the week!

Azpi and Willian saved me. 52pts with a full bench to use tomorrow. who to captain though hmmmmm

KevIRL

50 today only Costa (c) and payet scoring though. Will lose 6 points and field 8 tomorrow

jimmii

50 here as well took me up 25 places.

Out: Courtois, Cedric, Smalling, Barkley, Lukaku (c), Ighalo
In: Lloris, Kosc, Kolarov, Yaya, Kane, Aguero (c)

Will be leaving Mahrez on the bench.

out: hennessey, darmian, francis, jagielka, barkley, ighalo, lukaku
in: mignolet, bellerin, firmino, ozil(c), mahrez, kane, aguero

hopefully ozil does the biz

jimmii

Undecided on Ozil or Aguero right now.

That Newcastle goal was so painful with Azpi and Courtois was really hoping not to have to play Lloris! Pro ably would have taken me up another 20 places too. Grrr.

Markx

53 took me from 721st to 600th with only Payet, Azpi and Willian doing the biz.

Got Cech, Alderweirld, Mahrez, Sanchez, Aguero, Kane and Vardy to come in. Giving back 20 to get that crowd in.

jimmii

Gone with Ozil (c).

33 with 8 today hopefully the points per player will average the same today as the 3 from yesterday!

He left it late but the biz was done. Phew!

manual_man

78 all in. very happy with that. might see me sneak into the top 500

jimmii

Up to 193 delighted!

manual_man

be very interesting to see how double gameweeks effect proceedings. i'm sure there'll be plenty of loans made between now and the end of the season.

I'm a bit short in numbers this gw but not sure if it's worth it to make a loan or two or not. Alli/Giroud/Sanchez would all be options...

manual_man

-15 hit this week bringing in Costa, Hazard and Morgan for a 2 week stint. Aguero, Yaya and Darmian making way. Helps with numbers this week, and more MD1 options next week.

I'll be starting to build a serious lead this week. I'll be disappointed if I don't have a 20 point cushion heading into next week!

Deeney the destroyer will strike again!

Glad I captained Payet in this and not FPL! Another chance for King Kane to save the day!

jimmii

Yeh so that could have gone better.

62 points and a GW rank of 38. Best of the season.

Wow nice! I was surprised to only drop 30ish places with 32. Fingers crossed for a big day tomorrow.

Very same - weird coz I didn't think I had a great day. Every time I've moved the captaincy this year it's backfired. Vardy with 6 is acceptable but the switcher has to go right this time.......surely

jimmii

Forgot about making changes until now quick nervous check to see if there was a 1pm that would have ducked!

manual_man

Kane or Ozil for C?

manual_man

gone for Ozil against that makeshift United backline
