All out attack nice 1. It was very hard to bench any of your front 8 this week. Did your benched Def get a c.s.

Yeah Targett

I used to be in a band when I was younger and didn't spend all my time obsessing over FPL stats and had more time to be dark and metal. CSF was the initials of the bandname.

Fffix has me at 390k. Will take that and still bank the transfer. Bandwagon away Dimitri, we'll meet again....

Fffix way off.

Big big drop to 454k from 345k last week.

Mr. Guappa

Huge drop in OR from last night, only had Westwoods 2 coming off the bench, no one playing tonight. Dropped from 766k last night to 876k tonight. Still up for the GW overall with my 49 points, and back into the top 1,000,000.

What an OR jump; more than half my total points.......

gormdubhgorm

My worst start to a season in 9 years of playing fpl. You would think I am trying to lose there are only 1m people doing worse then me and I have had 4 GW's with an OR over 2.2m.

Well done but lets be honest he fluked it he had rooney as captain and Payet was your VC. Also he had your triple captain played.
Very jammy but fair play all the same!

Mike Ehrmantraut

46 - 4. Pedro, Ayew, Yaya, Wilson, Gomis and Aguero (c) with a grand total of 12pts between then. Payet and his 16pts sitting on the bench.

Invincible

55 pts, thank's to Payet & Mahrez mostly!

Up from 323k to 143k o/a

Not my team, the highest scorer this GW. And it's pure madness in my book

stiffler123

57, up to 242K from 493K. Mr Payet to thank.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

265,557th place :pac:

Yeah I just noticed it wasn't your team. Crazy start to the season with the chips added in it only makes it more skewed.

Lemlin

First red arrow of the season. Fell 40k places last night from 103k to 143k. Started the week at 141k so only a slight fall but unhappy to end my run of greens nonetheless.

SantryRed

Just shows how nuts the season has started.

My 66 points sees me jump from 940k to 290k overall! Some jump!

47, average but not terrible. Onwards

Necronomicon

63 points gives me a big OR bump from 664k to 227k. In the last two GWs I've come from the millionaire's club, so delighted with that.

Benimar

56 thanks to Mr Payet. Sees me move up 622k to 844k, first time in 6 digits this season

Swiper the fox

Very small green arrow overall to 1.38m.
Really hoped to go top million in week five his year to follow the progress I made last year.

CSF

193k. That's attractive given all the talk about 'casual' teams being at the top in the early stages.

GLaDOS

GW ranking of 78k gives me a rise of 1.1m up to an OR of 1.25m. Probably one of the largest rises I've ever had.

Still doing shít, but at least it's less shít.

km79

48 say me rise from 840k to 610k
boring

sheroman01

60 sees a very nice jump from 1.7m to 889k. Probably could have been a bit higher if it wasn't for Payet but I'm not gonna complain too much with all these lovely green arrows

Rikand

67 points sees me with a GW rank of 44k and a jump up to 800k in the world. That's a little more like it.

SpaceCowb0y

Up to 650K first time out of the millionaire club this season! Now to take a hit this week or not is the question

I think that i learned about myself this season that I'm in the busts school of getting rid of the damn thing early.

Now that the potential advantage of holding it for a dgw is gone i reckon my first wildcard will never see past gw3 or 4 again.

Yeah that's the attitude I had these past 2 seasons but my good start and the fact I both didn't need major surgery and didn't see any obvious defense rotation let me undecided...
Coming back to last week, as soon as my WC transfers failed to go through I should have done the sensible thing and held off completely.
Ah well, this game is about making more good decisions than bad ones, let's try not make this one too often :pac:...

Isn't there an idiom for when your triple captain doesn't play and gets subbed by a def with a CS while your vice gets 16 pts? Be a jammy beggar right ?

My 3 auto-sub points got me a slight green arrow from 130k to 125k.

The 22 pts I lost with my Payet + Benteke -> A.Ayew + Wilson would have put me inside top 20k. Shows how pointless rankings currently are.

I don't think it's nutter than the previous years. At this stage of the season, any great or crap GW will see you make either a huge jump or a big fall .

Yeah Targett

still a nice boost if you had of benched payet in the end. As mentioned last week I was going to bring in mahrez to for a -4 to play my all out attack chip. Regret not doing it as it wouldve been a net gain of 5 pts. I honestly think anything above a 2 pt gain from the all out attack chip should be considered a success.

Sooner or Later

55 thanks mainly to Mahrez and Poyet

Jumped from 1.3m to 808k, up 554k places

Yeah, the all out attack worked simply because of who otherwise would have been benched, even though Depay, Ayew, Sakho, Wilson and Aguero all failed miserably.

I mean I could sit here and sulk because I didn't bench Depay and get Targett's 7 points and have a 6 point further gain with my chip intact, but realistically that isn't what I would have done so I'm looking at a 9 point bonus from the All Out Attack chip in reality.

Ye that's the exact way to look at it. I'd be interested to hear from other people that played the chip so far but I think a 9 pt boost is nearly as good as you can hope for. People may think a dgw could be better but when you factor in the other chips you can use instead and maybe the pts hits getting ready for it and then restoring ur team set up. I don't think many will do better out of it.

Invincible

CSF wrote: »

Exact same, weird. Let's hope for a 40+ finish for us both.

Payet & Mahrez did the business, Sakho not much help, ended with 55pts, up to 143k OR.
What you finish on?

Mr.Prodston

37 points

1.3m

GW rank of 2.1m

I could never really imagine having anything close to 8 attacking players with 2 games in a DGW though so as you say I just used it when I thought the potential was there. I've 2 other chips that I want to use around DGWs.

GiftofGab

Took Payet out for Ayew for a -4 hit.....why me?

Scorpion Sting

42 points ; I rose 117.5k places to 1.81 million. Mahrez being the saviour from what could have turned out to be a mini disaster.

Ziegler1988

Hahaha, only just noticed it was my first green arrow of the season from 1.44m to 1.3m

Potential Underachiever

63 Points, jumped from 104k to 30k. I'm happy as a pig in chardonnay!

did the same but in wildcard

bohsman

Green arrows every week so far, GW3 WC Sagna and Kolarov double up still delivering. 56 points up from 674k to 358k.

FHFC

Sooo many red arrows. Everywhere except the FSA Premier where I'm up to second!

ElTel

51
Another green arrow and now just inside top 75k
Next week the fixtures pit a lot of my squad against each other so first dilemma will be picking a team with my head, not my heart.

AidySevenfold

All greens for me this week!

Managed 60 points - 56 with the 4 point hit.. won 2 outta 3 H2H's and won in the Finn Harps Cup so I guess not a bad week

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Peoples opinions on Walcott. Will he play? Won't he? Is he worth a -4

Too much of a rotation risk for me.

Don't do it to yourself. You'd be fretting over the team sheet every week, not worth it.
