GW 8 match day thread.

PARlance

2 points from 3 today sees me plummet from 392k to 715k... but still a nice jump from 1.5M.

Just pulled the trigger on hopefully my last hit for a while. Had to do so before rises tonight.
Couldn't be much happier with my front 8 now though. Watch me rip it apart over the coming GWs....

Sanchez, DeBruyne, Payet, Mane, Mahrez
Aguero, Vardy, Igahlo

Invincible

115 pts, up to 30.6k, season high :-)

C'mon the Renegades!!

Similar!

will be 3-4-3 most weeks,

Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mane, Surman
Kun, Martial, Ighalo

Ziegler1988

Up from 1.58m to 294k, has to be my best week in FPL. Hopefully this spurs me on to another Quarter 2 run like last season. Hands up, I'll admit I was wrong about Sanchez. He's looked back to his clinical, marauding best these last two GWs and I'm just happy to be able to fit him, KDB, and Aguero in with a strong front 8 and good defence. Bellerin is a joy to own, there are double digits to come out of this lad

GLaDOS

Despite a decent improvement in my GW score from yesterday, I actually fell slightly. Still, moved from 600k to 109k so a good week anyway.

What a team -

I have 7 of those with Ayew instead of Mane. Both have good fixtures although I would prefer Mane.

According to FFFIX only 1% of players own Aguero, DeBruyne and Sanchez. All of them regulars on this forum apparently.

104 after my 8 pt hit up to 13k

You must have been looking at it before it updated, highest score this GW was 164, guy went from 200k to 800

he took -12 this week too,

Yeah posted before the update. The other lad was last night's GW rank leader.

x43r0

138 after all is finished. Into the top 18k with that. I think thats the highest position I've had in the 7 or so years playing this

Just saw your team, quite an achievement to get there without Kun Alexis or KDB

Yeah, it's a kinda strange feeling really, any other week and I'd be delighted but when so many players are hitting treble figures it's somewhat bittersweet.

DarraghF197

Is it purely a coincidence that my GW rank is always matching my Overall rank?!

Despite having Sanchez today, I dropped from 50k yesterday to 75k now. Still I (we!) rise.

Pink Lemons

88 has my GW rank at 373,890 and my overall rank risen 400k places to 300k! Happy days considering I missed the ton, hopefully the good fortune continutes after the break and I can put the poor start behind me!

You have any transfer in mind? It'd use up all my free funds but I am thinking about Dier to Bellerin.

Yes. Martial -> Pellè . But, despite the price rise on Pellè tonight I won't go for it. Maybe I should give Saints more consideration though.

I'm currently annoyed about the whole Azpi gamble thing but I think reason dictates me to keep for Villa at home at least. If it goes tits up, I may reconsider earlier than initially planned.

In your case, with Dier suspended for 1 game it could be a good timing to "upgrade" to Bellerin. You'd bank a £0.1m profit on him. But, there's no hurry price wise and with the international break coming. Also, Arsenal fixtures are not that much better than Spurs' ones.

I guess you have to question how Bellerin would fit in your mid-term plan considering your current defense (Kolarov Bertrand Souaré/Nyom is very decent for next GW) and the extra £0.5m it'll cost you, £0.5m that you could use elsewhere at some point (that's my second annoyance regarding Azpi now but I knew it beforehand and have to accept it for the time being).

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

I cannot stop rubbing my nipples...

Top 56,000th lol.

sheroman01

95pts, two 0's, a banked transfer and a rise from 760k to 223k

Need to sort out my increasing non-starters tho! List now reads - McCarthy, Gomez, Targett and Naughton. As well as sorting out Gomis and Martial.

Miguel_Sanchez

Jumped 900k from 1.5 to 600k - biggest rise I've ever had in this game!

Father Hernandez

109 points with KDB, Sanchez, Pelle, Ayew and Aguero (C)

Even with Darmain giving me -1, up to just under 200k after being 2.4million after GW2. Happy out !

SpaceCowb0y

80 after hits for the week, not as good as some around here and was hoping to hit the ton with Lloris, Mata & Martial playing yesterday but Sagna and Gomez pulling blanks hurt. Time to tinker with my defence for a fortnight now.

Still up to 800k from 1.5mil so at leasts its a move in the right direction! Still early days...

SteelyDanJalapeno

When do the transfer hits come out of my points?

Colking

Saturday Night.

Hackers

107 points up from 1,137,154 to 223,919, great to be back!

AdMMM

1.6m to 800k.

That was the kind of movement I needed. Hopefully onwards and upwards after the International Break!

GetWithIt

105 points and sitting just outside the top 2K.

The international break has come at a good time. Hopefully a few knocks and niggles will keep everyone on their toes and away from a Template Team which has happened in previous years.

Regardless of current GW and overall rank this has probably been one of the most interesting and enjoyable FF seasons for a long time.

Ye Im finding it far more interesting also. There is a lot of different strategies that can be persued. 352 is certainly viable with all the good midfielders available. There is an argument for a strong front 8 due to all the performing cheap players. The tried and trusted 343 with cheap bench player.
I think there is so many options that a pure template team is a bit away.
Sanchez, kdb, silva, yaya, walcott, mata, ayew, mane, payet, mahrez all strong midfield options.
What people do with mahrez over the next few weeks will be very interesting as people may now be happy with vardy as leicester coverage.
Evertons fixtures turn soon which brings barkley and lukaku into the reckoning. Chelsea could start firing. Liverpool and sunderlands new managers.

After Pelle burned me so badly in the January WC last year, I have my eye on Mane. He looked a real handful for Chelsea. I'd almost consider 3-5-2 but, as with Aguero at the weekend, I do believe that things will return to the norm eventually and 3-4-3 is the way to go.

My weeks:

Gameweek 1 42 2 523,597 0 0 £100.0m 42 523,597 new
Gameweek 2 58 8 366,893 1 0 £100.1m 100 250,199 up
Gameweek 3 57 11 440,337 2 4 £100.5m 153 180,758 up
Gameweek 4 53 8 249,811 3 8 £101.0m 198 141,392 up
Gameweek 5 47 7 947,445 1 0 £101.5m 245 143,852 down

Gameweek 8 114 9 19,258 0 0 £103.2m 425 67,928

GW 6 - Overall rank of 133,288
GW 7 - the horror of my worst gameweek ever in a decade playing. 24 (-4) points. GW rank of 3,383,763 and fell to 630,644 overall rank.
GW8 - best wildcard ever in a decade. 114 points. GW rank of 19,258 and up to 67,928.

So my GW ranked changed from 3,383,763 to 19,258 in the space of a week. Has to be some record.

loadwire

82 points sees me go from 260k to 133k. Like a few others I think Aguero (c) papered over a few cracks in my team.

Calvin

Top 3k in Ireland and top 40k overall

breffni bogballer

after my 17pts in GW7 ,76 this week feels bad as i lost ground in money league,top 3 all over 100 and no kunx3
