GW 36 match day thread

Good man Ollie

Deeper Blue

Every time I see there's a Palace goal I think "surely Zaha is involved this time". It's the hope that kills you

But for players leaving clubs they would get game time - Aguero for instance, or more annoying for some - maybe Tom Heaton gets a run out for Villa - depends how Dean Smith feels about that i suppose.

Does Mendy play or Kepa?
Forester or McCarthy
Butland or Guarita
Henderson or De Gea
Pope or Peacock - Farrell

That 5/6 keeper spots that hard to call - all of which are annoying if leagues are tight.

Mendy both games surely, unless Top4 is wrapped up by GW38.
Game each for the Southampton keepers, but this has been an annoyance for a while and isn't really to do with the end of the season.
I think today is Butlands thank you, Guita back for the last two.
DH or DDG - doubt many have either. But for fun I'll say DH both.
Peacock-Farrell was just an injury thing so again not related to end of season messing. But Pope 100% plays if fit.

Interesting to see how few I get right.

El Ghazi good man 1.7% EO, now that's a differential

Very pleased to see high ownership Martinez go off the boil. I haven’t had him all season.

While some of them aren't end of season related, it still impacts you for the last game if you have any of them going in with uncertainty. Last thing you want protecting a lead or chasing is for Bruno/Shaw/Greenwood all rested, and then if you have a Ederson/Hednerson/Forester/Mendy/Guita/Pope/McCarthy - making sure you have a playing keeper - and that's before trying to decide if you keep Dias (cause he's a cert to never be dropped:rolleyes:) etc.

If you knew for instance last game of Season KdB was going to play - you'd probably do Bruno out for him, but again who knows what City team will play significant minutes. So for those with Bruno who have to assume he won't start - who do you bring in? Probbaly more for the transfer thread.

Martinez has a save point btw

Jim Gazebo

Bale, Son, Kane all start.

He got 10 points in his last game, I'll take that from my off the boil keeper

Ouch !! .... I would consider myself to have an active team and I'm sitting around 1.2million (have just been unlucky and made poor choices throughout the season)

I would say most teams around the 500k mark and upwards are templatey and captain choices or random gambles that work out are the only way to make gains....but what do I know.... I languish in the shadows.

I was treading the million and 2 million mark for what seemed like ages until around gw 23. So I feel your pain. It was only a BB gw24 FH gw25 and WC 29 that managed to make me make some ground. Before I started treading fpl water again. The season has been a really odd one in fairness. If people used their chips at the 'right' times in unforeseen circumstances people really jumped up in ranking.

A lot of it is my own fault though I had certain amount of stubborness Brewster is the main example of this.

What annoys me is that the fella who I had most of the start of the season rotting on my bench - Mitchell is finally fit playing and getting fpl points. Long after I had forgotten about him.

I think that for the home teams we might see a strong enough XI, purely because it'll be their only home games in front of fans all season. So managers more likely to give the regulars a chance to be seen by the fans, rather than moving some randomer up from the squad depths.

Good point did not think of the fans aspect. Allows the players to clap the fans when they walk of the pitch - see you next season type thing.

gormdubhgorm

Oh Martinez save point I noticed the fella is a legend.

McGinn yellow and Grealish on for Traore

Nice 0 pointer FFS

Mohamady turned his back as Zaha shot. Awful defending

Jim Gazebo

Really frustrating. Been trying to tie up a head to head league for a few weeks. Played the bottom guy and lost and playing him again this week, who has suddenly become active again. Played his wildcard last time when he beat me. Free hit this week. He had guatia with meslier on bench and he also has fcuking Zaha. Pain in my hole at this stage over him.

Ace2007

Eze shot comes back off the cross bar

Mitchell goal (eze)

Ace2007

Mitchell goal - (of course), Ezs assist

Widdensushi

First sub

Ace2007

Picked Ward over Mitchell, as Mitchell wasn't guaranteed to play.

Over last 2 GW's:

Ward 6 points
Mitchell 20 points

ScummyMan

Mitchell ya legend, first time ever starting him!!

bantee

Badly need returns from Reguilon in the next game, big differential in my leagues

siblers

Cmon Martinez, get one more save

Ace2007

39 attempts in this game :eek: and 13 on target

Can they intervene if no free is given? Or it wasn't clear and obvious maybe

Dubh Geannain

Bought Mitchellen star last week. And Benteke this week as part of a -8. Have to say I fuppin deserve that after the last could of months. Get in.

They can intervene if it's a red card incident, pulling back a player who is running in on goal and no one covering - if that's not a red card, i don't know what VAR are thinking.

Feck...main rival on Free Hit...was feeling smug last night as he brought in 3 x City who didn't play but of course he has Alioski first sub. Of course he fupping does :-(

And his 2nd sub????

Mitchell ffs

sheroman01

Disaster of a GW. Already on -8 and not much going well for me. Need a big game from TAA and DCL today. Have a feeling Kane will do well today too.
