Buendia 😂

Is Coutinho not match fit or something, signs new contract, last home game and is benched - i don't get it?

shmeee

Saw my score dropped by a point. Was like, ah ya, a James yellow. But no, Zaha yellow.

shmeee

All I can say is, thank god for Ricky Captain. Half my score from him. Holding a similar pre GW lead in ML's as of now with half hour or so to play.

He's just not very good any more it seems.

I really haven't been paying attention this season tbh but he's been pretty meh since his initial flurry after joining...if I'd done any research then captaining him would have been off the table.

Still having said all that I thought the new contract, last home game etc would spark things off

He's been pretty muck (as have Villa) the last while after his initial burst. The first game against Burnley he was dropped and Villa won with Buendia playing well. Since then Gerrard has gone back to Coutinho but Villa have gone back to been pretty average. I was surprised they bought him but assume Gerrard thinks with a proper pre season he'll get the old Coutinho back. Time will tell I guess.

Fitz*

I really need Ings on the pitch and scoring! I own Richarlison but everyone around me has captained him. I didn't

Cartman78

Burnley pen incoming 👀

Edit...no pen...I blame Lee Hendrie.

Coutinho and Weghorst on

shmeee

Very similar to Spurs penalty last week against Burnley.

extra gravy

Just the 16 points swing so far in the Ings vs Ricky captaincy call. I've gone from 16k to 40k. Brutal week.

mailburner

dcl goal gray assist

shmeee

Ings on

Watkins off 77 mins

Chesty08

Yes Ingsy on. I’ll take those 2 points haha

shmeee

Weghorst missed a pure sitter.

Everton safe, that's the weekends benches full of Everton players for a start.

Muahahaha

Maddison on for 3 bonus and Ricky 1 so 103 all out and a green arrow to 21k, For once the DGWers did well, my other free hit was a disastrous 46 points

bantee

Similar here,102 all out if BPs stay the same, double CSs wiped out for Everton and Villa tonight wasn't ideal but still hewt.

COH

89 on FH. Also doubled up on Villa/Everton defenders... but taking Maddison out to squeeze Ings in the one that really hurts. Ah well!

extra gravy

The players I took a -12 for scored exactly 12 points. I suppose I should be grateful that I'm not down on the moves.

Rikand

114 points on Free Hit going for my 15 DGW'ers. It was fun and it surprisingly paid off :)

I'm now respectable in my money league, but still no chance of picking up any cash lol :D

Dubh Geannain

104(-4). Two tons in a row.

I was 106 points behind in my money league before last GW. Haven't worked it out exactly yet but i can't believe it. I'm heading for the top.

His team is better than mine on paper so I'll likely have to gamble again next week if I'm to win it. Win it? Am i really considering i could actually win it now. Mad stuff.

The players I took a -12 for scored 15

mind you the 4 I transferred out scored 3

gutted I didn't have maddison

happy with 86 mainly thanks to capt rich

Fitz*

86 on FH, including C fail.

Would have scored 24 without the FH, before transfers so I guess it can be claimed as a success.

Chesty08

79 on FH

Massively disappointed with myself on that one. 4.3k OR & a few mini leagues now going down to wire!

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119087733#Comment_119087733

Those MLs must be really competitive, you'd think a rank of 4.3k in the world would see you top of everything with room to spare

dr.kenneth noisewater

98 on FH is a big improvement on last FH a few weeks ago! Gone up 250k places in last 2 GW with BB and FH so into top 180k. Should keep me interested in playing next year now 😂

Father Hernandez

72 (-12)

Richi (C) the hero, knew it'd be a bad GW with no FH and some hits not going according to plan.

Schmeichel not starting 1 game was a waste of a hit and Ben White subbing in for -2, well less said the better.

78k OR going into the last GW in a good position.

Benimar

74 (-4). Richarlison (c) doing a lot of heavy lifting. Apart from a Kane goal and a Zaha assist, no one else got anything other than appearance points. Down to 106k

Lemlin

Managed 116 on free hit - a weekly ranking of 26k so not shabby. A GW36 bench boost of 139 points and a GW37 FH have pulled me from 213k to 81k. Have a decent team heading into the last weekend so would love to finish inside the top 75k.

Cartman78

Finished on 93 on FH, fairly HEWT but my ill-judged Coutinho captain pick is annoying especially with Madison, Vardy and Richarlison in my team.

Up to the lofty heights of 570K 😂

Will be my worst season by some distance

I'm looking forward to next season when Covid will finally be a thing of the past and there shouldn't be cancelled games.

Cartman78

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119088903#Comment_119088903

Yeah same.

I can trace my downfall back to the time of cancellations...kinda lost interest after that tbh.

I like the planning and strategy aspect of FPL and felt that went out the window when games were being cancelled hours before kick-off.

Well done to all on here that stuck with it

gammygils

74 on FH - Disappointing for 18 players. Only Madders and Ricky got returns and a few from Zaha. Son Captain Fail

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119089067#Comment_119089067

Ive a chap in a ML who absolutely got wrecked by the Covid cancellations, even his -4 hits to replace players then got hit by cancellations. Whereas I had a fair slice of luck during that phase. It did make a big difference if the luck went against you, my mate normally finishes top 100k-200k but this year its more like top 600k because of how the covid cancellations went.

Did the 3 players you take out get 0? otherwise you would be down
