2018/19 Gameweek 1 Matchday Thread

89 points. Delighted. Especially after my 21 points yesterday had me thinking it was going to be a bit of a disaster of a gameweek. My City & Pool trios with 68 points came to rescue.

Mr.Prodston · 12-08-2018 7:28pm

79 points and I'm pleased.

Only grumble is Cedric with both Daniels and AWB on the bench, my own fault not taking into account how unlikely he was to play the full 90.

Only Mendy/Roberson away from the monster scores here and had Jagielka not been sent off then Coleman looked good for attacking returns himself.

Gunnarsson a mild concern. Not having Mendy is the key task to rectify.

It's easy for me to say, but GW1 is pointless to read into.

Someone can get a century this week and plummet the next. You won't know where you're at for another few weeks.

One thing seems certain - for your own sanity, get 3 Liverpool if you don't have, and at least 2 City (probably 3). The game will probably be unbearable otherwise.

Nice round 100 to start off on a good note. Double digits from Salah, mane, shaw, mendy and richarlison. Aguero and Cariney the only disappointing returns with two each.

Gutted!

FutureGuy · 12-08-2018 7:54pm

95.

Inspector Coptoor · 12-08-2018 8:05pm

54.
Wan-Bissaka’s 12 on the bench is irritating.

3 players with one point
3 players with to points

Decent returns from
The rest.

Son out, Richarlison in.

Need to get Mane and Mendy in next

ThunbergsAreGo · 12-08-2018 8:08pm

Richarlison and Wan B on the bench

Annoying but seeing it as good players picked for the Long haul

Lemlin · 12-08-2018 8:09pm

86. Seems low compared to some on here.

Great score!

Will be 99 if Mendy gets the 3 bonus, no chips played.

Over the moon with that score, the ton would have been nice. WB 12 points on the bench too

Solid start

Ederon 1 bonus takes me into the 100 club

Ecstatic with that!

People in the shops had no clue why I was shouting out a big YES looking at my phone!

Tipsy McSwagger · 12-08-2018 8:16pm

60, 37 gameweeks to go so not that bothered.

Morzadec · 12-08-2018 8:38pm

62, horrible week. Particularly as I think there'll be good players with high scores.

The decision to upgrade Bilva to Eriksen, and fund it through downgrading Richy and Mendy really backfired.

I think this should be a lesson to everyone - if you have an attacking defender, one who costs 6m especially, then play him e-v-e-r-y game.

SkySter · 12-08-2018 8:43pm

96. Probably my best start ever. Not getting too cocky but very glad I decided to go with 3 city and 3 pool players. As was said above, this looks essential even at this early stage.

Mint Sauce · 12-08-2018 8:55pm

61 points, not a bad start. The bulk of them coming from PVA, Richarlison, and Cpt Salah.

Love it that's brilliant. There is more than one way to play the chips despite what a lot of people will tell you. What was your team out of interest.

Hart Begovic
Mendy Shaw Wan B Robertson Boly
Salah(c) Mane Ricky Jota Ralls
Aguero King Zaha

And a massive thanks to you for planting the seed of the GW 1 BB

Cantona's Collars · 12-08-2018 8:59pm

87,a good start to the new season despite my annoyance at late transfers not going through. My change to Rudiger in defence paid off though.
Obi Wan on the bench with 12 a bit of a pain but thanks to the lads here recommending Mendy,a nice haul.

elefant · 12-08-2018 9:17pm

Very satisfied with 78.

7 points missed due to 5 minutes between mahrez and cedric is still very annoying

KevIRL · 12-08-2018 9:17pm

83K OR.

Twill do I suppose

Would have been my second highest rank last season! Ahem :pac:

McBain11 · 12-08-2018 9:25pm

92 points. Delighted with that. Left 20 odd points on the bench, and had considered the bench boost but decided not. So it could have been a mammoth opening week, but c'est la vie.

Nicest thing is that I think I'm just gonna go with players I enjoy owning for most of the season. Try not to over think things too much, and see where it takes me :-)
