Gameweek 17 Match Day thread

Lemlin

West Brom must be abysmal if Big Sam can’t even tighten them up. Glad I got rid of Johnstone now for the Leeds keeper.

5% ownership, great differential.

I chose Holding to save the cash!

I chose Bellerin. It’s my own fault I know deep down. I think this is the worst break I’ve ever got in FPL.

Leeds not great at the back either although they have kept a decent amount of clean sheets, there GA is second worst. Meisler is a decent shot stopper but flapps at crosses and his distribution is not the best. Playing the way Leeds do he is called into action more than most keepers

It's an incredibly unlucky decision in fairness he was subbed pre 60, Arteta learned from the best for screwing FPL players over.

Position is for sub keeper for BB. McCarthy has been playing for me every week. Prior to this GW & my WC, I had a non playing keeper to free up funds.

I didn’t honestly think FPL could make me this angry momentarily. It just comes on the back of a season where nothing has gone my way; I captained Auba the week he scored an OG. Then Auba obviously scored in the right end the next game and I had taken him out which was always the plan.

I didn’t think holding was a great choice because Gabriel and Luiz will be breathing down his neck soon but why did I choose bellerin over tierney for 0.2 million.

I’ve already rage transferred to Tierney and I’ve not rage transferred before.

I got him in a few weeks ago as rotation for McCarthy. Very poor transfer

Lundstram

Think Scorpion Sting owns Smith-Rowe, that's some call. Fair play!

I've Mccarthy aswell and a non playing back up, been pleasantly surprised that Southampton have been decent at the back and that Mccarthy has nailed down the no1 spot

It was GW12 that he scored the OG - there was no reason why you would have Auba in your team by the stage of the season yet alone making him captain.

Unlucky with the OG, but can't be saying nothing going your way if you keep the most expensive out of form player that has probably being in the FF game over the last 5 years.

Kudos to anyone on Tierney. He has been inpressive the last few GWs. Would have jumped on him but I haven't an iota of faith in Arsenal.

You didn't see the other thread were stated that McCarthy is self isolating then?

It would have been a leap of faith going with Tierney who isn't prolific to say the least and arsenal have been leaking bad goals. He has sometimes played a s part of a back 3,as a full back and as a wing back. While arsenal have been improving fair play to anyone that brought in a defender like Kieran and holding. OK fixtures coming up aswell. Palace Newcastle and saints.

No i didn't see that, normally just scan the game week threads, take it he is out for Monday night so

Brought him in that one week and took him out straight away. None of the blue chips had that good a fixture or a big week. It’s obviously didn’t go well but he was home to Burnley. It was a acceptable strategy to bring in a striker. The OG was bad luck. The Xhaka red card that meant Auba was defending a corner was more bad luck.

Father Hernandez

Looking like 66 if bonus stay the same.

KDB, Salah and KWP (subbing in for Dann) to go.

Into top 200k for the first time this season.

HEWT.

Ace2007

22 points from that game - Holding and Lacazette doing the business, Happy that the Lacazette punt worked out

Good punt on laca sometimes he doesn't even start

Lundstram

43 with 4 to play. Not a good GW at all. Kane killing my rank.

eggy81

68-4 with salah Justin and bednarek to play. Give anything for bednarek not to play with coufal first sub

macraignil

51 with 5 to go with Bellerin 0 points a bit unexpected. Soucek, Fernandes and captain Son doing well so HEWT.

Score in last 2 games, and Arsenal on the up - figured Arteta would keep with a winning team and he scored the winner against Brighton.

Lemlin

49 from 4.

McCarthy, Chilwell, Robertson, Justin, Salah, Adams & Vardy to play.

Irishphotodesk

15 from 5 ... With captain Justin and a few others left to play !! Need a few players to pick up their game tomorrow, clean sheets from Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester would be a massive help to me.

laurah591

62(-4) with 4 to play, Chillwell, KWP, Robbo & Vardy. Here's hoping for 0:0 for pool & SH alongside a Vardy party to finish gw in style

dr.kenneth noisewater

75 with Salah, Robbo and Mendy to go so HEWT! Last min transfer of Taylor to Holding worked out very well!

Captain Havoc

My rival, who I think is also Irish, has used his bench boost. So far two of his players have not played and one has 0 (Bellerin). He's on 18 with 8 to play including captain Firmino. I'm on 59 with 4 to play, including McCarthy, keeper v Liverpool, Zouma and Werner (both dropped last time and Werner is awful. Even though I have him, I want Salah to do poorly as he's not my captain. Everyone has him, so it's no advantage, it can only be a disadvantage not having him, if you get my meaning. My 3 midfielders have so far got double figures (Soucek, Fernandes and Son (C)) with Salah to play. My strikers have 2 each with Werner to play.

Chesty08

Bloody hell some scores in here!!!

18 from 6.

Ace2007

67 from 6

Mendy, Stones, Salah, Adams, Lascelles (Unlikely I know), Brewster to sub in with 1 if any don't make it.

Balbuena not playing and Lowton game off is a pain.

Shanee.

37 from 6 18 points on the bench
