GW35, The Skinny One, Matchday Thread.

Scorpion Sting

61 points to finish on Free Hit.

Bit disappointed with this as my final draft ended up being a bit of a spur-of-the-moment selection.

Should have stuck with safe picks like Lacazette and Butland but instead included differentials in the sickly shape of Ozil and feckless Tosun. I'll know for next season.

Don't they usually finalise the bonuses within 30 minutes of full time?

I thought he was on 25, obviously mistaken.

He was probably lost 3 for offsides etc and got 3 added back on so ended up back where he started with 25.

Sterling, Kane, or Salah (yes, Salah!) are the ones that stick out.


Salah seems to to very well against top sides that look to come out and attack. He could get a couple of goals there provided he isn't rested. And he's be a hell of a differential as well with most going for Kane.


Personally, I'm not looking differentials as I'm defending so I'll most likely go for Kane (especially now that they're out of the FA Cup).

Benimar

65 all out on WC.

Average Saturday, good Sunday and sh1t Monday - I had Dubravka v ML rivals Pickford and Baines. An Everton win to nil hurts.

manual_man

Up 51k places delighted with that

F1ngers

It only took 30 weeks, but I went from 2.1M in GW5 to 84K in GW36.

A score of 76 gives me a 10K GW rank and sees me rise from 158K to 84K.

dsmythy

64 in the end on FH. Moved from 2.8k to 1.9k but my rival gained 13 points on me and still has BB. Don't know whether to go defence mode or just play the overall game on the logic it has me in the lead in the first place.

km79

Another good week
Up to 115k now and in a right battle for a brilliant prize in a league I had written off
21 pts separate top 3 and we all have B.B. left
Leader player FH so reverts to no city
Both have Vahrez which could be a killer 37

Father Hernandez

This weeks FH has saved my season really

80 points all out. 3,664 GW rank

138k OR after Free falling for a couple weeks and couldn’t post as much on here!

Invincible

82 pts from F H, up to 72k.
Salah as (C), Lacazette,Hennessey, Keane & Sterling with majority of score.

Trigger Happy

I finished on 66 and am delighted.
The assistance and advice on here has been invaluable this past few weeks. I did wc in 32, bb in 34, fh in 35 and will do tc in 37. Have gone from 786k in 32 to 313k overall after this week. Too little too late for the mini leagues but nice to be able to hold my head high for now.

Mr. Guappa

68 on FH takes me from 7.2k to 4.3k.
TC left, and lots of DGWers for 37, although no City. Need to rectify that. Top 5k had been the target, and still is I guess.

53 (-8). Up 5k to 58k. Not sure I can keep this green arrow after tomorrow's game but it could have been worse.

It could also have been better but I didn't get some of the luck I got in a few recent GWs (Mili post & denied peno -though he could have missed -, Tomkins post, captain Jesus missed pen, -4 Sané no show).

--

At first glance the FH this GW would have been more profitable than in GW31 when I played it. I'd have gotten KDB instead of Sané, probably Lacazette for Kane after Wenger's words, maybe taken a chance on Ramsey. Well, all the big scorers. But I had 0 City players before this GW. So that'd have meant at least a -8 to follow. GW31 would have also meant -4 or more probably -8. I'd also would have had a very different team in 34, certainly with more DGWers and I know now that it would have meant less points.

So, in the end, against all appearances, the ~35-40 more pts I'd have earned today would have been spent (16 pts worth of hits) or not gained (~10 pts in 31 ; ~10-15 in 34) before.

Last night game did not go my way at all and Everton just made my FH in 31 now clearly not as good as it'd have been this GW, everything overall accounted for. It's not a huge diff (probably 10 to 15 pts max) but it's like this anyway.

That said my 53 (-8) made me lose 336 positions at 63k. So a GW for nothing. Or not really. Hopefully my City trio will be worth it over the next 3-4 games.

I told you not to write it off!

61 on Free Hit brought a 12k rise to 29k. Up to my highest rank since GW17.

This seems to be the case for a lot of us
Nice to see the careful planning paying off

I have to say again Cartmans spreadsheet has been a god send .
And the most simple obvious feature is the best.
The ability to see your potential teams fixtures clearly makes planning transfers sommuch easier. You can see who you are going to bench , captain etc .
Can't understand how that feature is not there on main site .
Even just for a 6 gameweek period based on current team


Although maybe it's best it isn't

Trigger Happy

Getting a top 200k position would be my most realistic goal at this stage.
At least to get better than my previous worst rank of 244k would be something.
