Game week 18 Matchday Thread - Disaster zone

46 all out, green arrow, FH still in pocket and 2 fts for the weekend. HEWT!

NabyLadistheman · 14-01-2021 11:09pm

So last week I was debating not using FH and goin with 7 at -4 which would have resulted in 28 points. Finished the week with 62 so 34 points gained. Could and should have been so much better but overall happy enough with it. Up to 31,400 overall

Very similar, worked out really well

Only Arsenal player id go near is Tierney

I brought in Holding three weeks ago, 25 points for 4.4m

macraignil · 14-01-2021 11:17pm

47 with Clark 2 points subbing in for Tierney and Mitchell staying on the bench. Might have gone a bit better but had to play the free hit with so many of my normal team with no game. Not going to make much ground but at least not falling back a lot which would have been the case if I did not play it. :pac:

Father Hernandez · 14-01-2021 11:25pm

6 players with no FH would’ve got me 31 points.

FH team has me 56 all out.

Up 25 points so HEWT enough but could’ve been so much more.

Into the top 100k for the first time this season.

Newbie20 · 14-01-2021 11:30pm

Didn’t have my free hit because I’m an idiot and squandered it earlier in the season. But finished up with 51(-4) with 8 players so very happy!

That is class. 49 for me with 10 including Brewster. Did not expect to be seeing green arrows this week.

Ya same as. I think it’s probably outscored the FH team I made up

How are you fixed for next week?
I’m looking at a -12 to BB

gammygils · 14-01-2021 11:35pm

Now I remember why I don't have any Arsenal on my regular team :rolleyes:

Well done on the WC.

I couldn’t pull the trigger with all the doubts on upcoming fixtures. I also didn’t have the time needed to put into it.

I see Busts played it too and did well and may well have a DGW for Villa as they could now be playing Newcastle instead of Everton.

What squad did you guys end up with for next weeks BB ?

I followed the Busts plan yeh, never usually a bad strategy.

I think it was a decent chip strategy that wasn't widely popular but made sense with a core of Man U and City players who had a game this week and a double.

I currently have this for the DGW with the plan to swap Kane to Vardy. I also planned on a hit as I had only 10 for the blank and so including Saka with a planned -4 was likely to be at worst a 2 point hit. It's ended up costing 1 point.

I made one coçk up at the last minute picking Bednarek as my last defender. After obsessing all week about the Leeds DGW most likely being off and what to do with my Leeds lads, I overlooked at 5 mins to deadline that that meant Southampton would have no DGW too.

Martinez (DDG)
Cresswell, Cancelo, Shaw, (Holding, Bednarek)
Bruno, KDB, Gundogan, Son (Saka)
Kane, Antonio, Wood

If I swap Kane to Vardy I'll probably use the hit to correct my Bednarek mistake and get Coufal so I'll have a bench of DDGx2, Coufalx2, Holding and Saka.

The Bednarek thing is annoying as hell. Otherwise I'd have had a DGW Def there and brought in probably Soucek for Saka and had 3 DGWers on bench.

I'm backing against Liverpool, I think Busts is too. Based on 3 games for City or United players Vs 2 for Salah and Co. People captaining Salah scares me
That could go badly wrong. Also I ditched Leeds lads.

Bench boost was never the plan for me.

Hoping to stay in and around the top 100k while still having all my remaining chips.

I’ll be 8 DGWers plus Bamford, Son and either Dier or Holding while taking a minus 4.

Any thoughts on whether I should go with Dier in Sheffield or Holding at home to Newcastle?

but1er · 14-01-2021 11:48pm

60 with only 8 players great defence keane Mitchell stoned holding. Big week coming

Lundstram · 14-01-2021 11:50pm

45. An abomination of a FH.

patmac · 14-01-2021 11:57pm

36 on FH would have had around 16 if I took the -8 or 25 if I went with just the 6 starters, fcuk Sterling, never again.

Scorpion Sting · 14-01-2021 11:58pm

52 points on a Free Hit.

Up 13k to 54k for my 14th green arrow in 17 gameweeks.

Got dumped out of the Boards CL in the semi-final though and also lost in the FPL Cup.

Markx · 15-01-2021 12:05am

48 no hits free or otherwise. 3 evenings of bullet-dodging survived

qwabercd · 15-01-2021 12:11am

My fpl cup game is going to a virtual coin toss

His third sub was Mitchell!

gammygils · 15-01-2021 1:07am

46 - My FN FH team got me FA FS

Dumped out of cup because my opponent played Mitchell and I had him benched

Rikand · 15-01-2021 1:09am

56 thanks to 3rd sub mitchell coming in for Tierney

Very happy with that on Free Hit

I think Mitchell price will rise like crazy after tonight , what a bargain !

Until he doesn't feature again for 9 games in a row.....

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-01-2021 1:51am

Finished on 59 with FH. Happy with that.

madma · 15-01-2021 2:21am

was heading for 44 on a FH with no Tierney my 3rd sub Mitchell subs on

Who'd have thought a palace defender costing 3.9 saves my GW :eek:

52 on FH, should take me into the top 500k for first time this season

Conceded 1 goal in the 3 games he’s been back in after shipping 10 in the 2 previous to that.

Can’t see him going anywhere unless there’s a drop in form.

sheroman01 · 15-01-2021 2:58am

42pts. A red arrow after a FH is very very disappointing. But we move on. To a sh1tshow of a DGW

COH · 15-01-2021 8:59am

57 on FH ... green arrow up to 79k

Thank god for 3rd sub Mitchells surprise 8pointer off the bench for Tierney. Original team would have scored a whopping 12 points so was ddef the right time to play it.

Had originally planned on BB19 but no doubles for Bamford, Dallas or KWP anymore along with DCL blank and Taylors ongoing injury statis has put halt to that.

Will most play 8 DGWers + Son/Kane/Bamford and save the BB for later in the season after the 2nd wildcard.

Benimar · 15-01-2021 9:13am

43 and a red arrow on a FH is very disheartening.

Lloris and Tierney over Leno and Reguillon cost me 10 points.

My GW19 BB is also in trouble because of the fixture changes, so the last 4 or 5 GWs have been rough for my team. I can’t seem to get much going my way.
