Gameweek 18 Matchday Thread. 3pm teams in OP

BackforFPL

70 with Lallana still to play. Happy out.

TC Zlatan bringing in the bulk of those points for me.

wanderer100

52 with Allen left to play.

titan18

Should have 54 after bonus with Kane, Origi and Alderweireld to go

SlickRic

It'll be 44 with Firmino, Vertonghen and Alli to play.

Teetering on the edge of another awful GW.

Heaton on for 3 bonus

Would Gray winning goal knock that back to two bonus?

Sooner or Later

Finally got onto the site.

If the bonuses are correct I will have 66 with VVD left to play

spock.

54(-8) with Mane, Alli and Forster to play.

As good as I could hope for with Benteke and Sanchez(c)

FutureGuy

45 plus 8 bonus from Zlatan (c) and Hazard. Pieters, Origi, Mane and Alderwiereld to come.

Should be a good week relative to the top lads on my league.

59 Eriksen left. And a rare captain success hurrah.

FutureGuy

League leader brought in Idenacho and Silva.

Cartman78

68(-4)

Took a hit to bring in Zlatan and Heaton so nice to see it paying off after recent hit-fails.

Payet and Özil redeeming themselves a bit too after recent bouts of invisibility.

Lallana to go

bantee

Looked dodgey there for a while until Ibra came to life, will finish today on 69 (-4) after bonuses added and with Kane to go.
After 2 weeks of capt Kane fails it was badly needed.

LightningBlue

50 (-4) with 5 (Grant, Mané, Origi, Eriksen and Kane) to play.

Dice75

63 with Kane, Alli & Rose to go.

Wildcard activated to wreck my head for the next few days

bantee

KDB off the inside of the post and across the goal

spock.

Iheanacho oncoming

Mr.Prodston

Hi everyone, I'm Mr.P and I captained Sanchez rather than Zlatan...

Iused2likebusts

On 70 with firmino origi and Pieter's to go a much needed good week.

And he did.

Heaton holds on for 3bps despite not even getting 3 saves. Odd.

Alonso misses out on a bp by 1BPS.

machiavellianme

Fernando on for silva

FutureGuy

League leader brings IN Idenacho this week. The boy is fcuking blessed.

The guy directly ahead of me in my league has made 3 transfers all season.

He's going to get 92 points today

Pedro's 2nd changed to a Cook own goal, Pedro assist

Pedro and Hazard now share the 3 bonus.

UPDATE: Chelsea's 3rd goal has now been given as a Steve Cook own goal. The assist has been given to Pedro, but could be reviewed

WHAAAAAAT ?!

#JusticeforPedro


- edit -

Just watched the highlights on youtibe. Not clear if his shot was on target. Anyone saw it live with better replays?

FutureGuy

I have to rant. Leader being in Silva and Idehnacho this week. Every transfer he makes turns to gold. I expected him to drop off ages ago.

And Jesus ****ing christ Kolarov came on for a clean sheet for two of the top three. The mind boggles sometimes.

spock.

Definitely looks like a lot of Twitter comments have caused the change. All score sites have it down as a Pedro goal.

If Zlatan scored a goal like that, it would have stood.

If that's the case, I could really see myself stop playing the game. I don't like the way the game evolved/evolves (e.g. with the stupid chips) and if it has to be run by the twitter dictatorial idiocracy, that'll be without me.

I've always found there's someone in these leagues every year like this. We can only get on with it.

Last season, a guy who came last in our league every season for years won, and this year has gone back to being last. He even got to 4th in the world at Christmas or something.

Shít, I came 250th in the world one year and I'm really not that good!

All you can do is be consistent. If there's anything I've learned so far this season, it's to not let it bug you. The way the game is, there's percentage of luck involved. It's like poker. The best players will do well more often, but the odd player will still flop straights and flushes enough times to win a tournament.

Can you really be good though? You can be OK I don't think you can give yourself a better edge than the guys who get rotten lucky. Anyone still holding Pedro would struggle to justify it

I held him and can justify it easily. He was a guaranteed starter against a poor side and, with Costa out, he certainly wasnt worth a -4 to get rid of.

Look at how his potential replacements (Walcott, Siggy) did!

Rikand

56(-4) with Kane and lala to go

I sold Pedro the previous gw as I felt he would be rested 3 games in 6 days and I wanted alli. However I'd argue the opposite to yourself I think the really good players would have not panicked and held Pedro this gw despite him missing out last gw. As they would have realised he was rested and with Costa out was nailed on for this gw.

raiders11

56,no hits... Grant, Lovren and Eriksen to go yet.......up to 37k

GetWithIt

60 with 4 to go.

Nill all tomorrow please.

KevIRL

59 (no hits) Kane and lallana to go. Strangely though the 12 points lost to the late ibra to Sanchez capt change really sticks in my craw

Mr. Guappa

51 with another 6 to sub in. Lovren and Firmino left.

KevIRL

25K bump in OR up to 31K

Yes was in the same this week and the price drops made me keep him
