Brought in 'Ibra' last week in readiness for this double weekend the week after. He doesn't start!

Forced to bring in Rashford. Giving him the captains armband too. Have to agree with one or two out there, but this has been an argument that's surely been going on with that lot.

Negrado as captain? Wow really? Smells like a classic mistake to me. One that I pass up on and that others end up gloating about. As per.

In January I was in 408th position in the RAWK league. I am now 136 or 9. Aiming for top 100. Many thanks to the 270 odd for dropping out.

I'm 105 I think. Can't break into the top 100 for love nor money!

Probably the first double gameweek ever where there's not one player I'd fancy to captain. I'd argue that the likes of Sanchez, Alli, maybe Hazard would get more points as captain than anyone from a double gameweek but who knows?

paulrazor · « **Reply #1523 on:** April 22, 2017, 09:06:53 am »

I was thinking zaha or benteke but couldn't captain them vs us. Zaha in the team but went with negredo. Boro are shite but he is their main threat and their fixtures aren't too difficult

I signed negredo and didn't get in benteke

Yeah Benteke is my only player with two matches but haven't the heart to make him captain.

paulrazor · « **Reply #1525 on:** April 22, 2017, 05:32:26 pm »

He does have a pretty good record vs us too. Few times he chewed up skrtel and spat him out.

After the minus 8 debacle I'm on a net 25 points. Robertson (5), Daniels (14) and king ( 8 )

Decent start with a long way to go

Played bench boost this week and have Jakupovic, Robertson, and Llorente getting me 16 points. Lovren (on the bench) and Origi to play tomorrow so another clean sheet and a couple of goals would be welcome. Also have Boruc, Smith, and King for Bournemouth so 2 clean sheets and a goal there too.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #1527 on:** April 22, 2017, 05:41:02 pm »

3 points courtesy of Lukaku and a De Roon bench boost. Flying!

Filler. · « **Reply #1528 on:** April 22, 2017, 11:50:41 pm »

Was miffed to see Valdes get an injury for the double gameweek. Had him all season! I'd used my free transfer up, but in the morning, I thought, well, I'll probably get my four points back if I put in Guzan over two games. Had Jakupovic? (Hull) as the sub keeper.

Why did I think that was a good idea again?

2 Benteke goals from crosses. Neither from Zaha. Twat. Lovren and Origi. Twats.

Sir Psycho Sexy · « **Reply #1534 on:** April 23, 2017, 08:25:17 pm »

yep, time to ditch Origi for Gabiadini.

lionel_messias · « **Reply #1535 on:** April 24, 2017, 12:01:18 pm »

So the shame as my footballing soul is torn apart. Yes....

I transferred IN and CAPTAINED big bad Christian Benteke.

I had to make four transfers this week so was -12 to begin with.

Next up please let Aguero tear United a new one, and United not play Valencia.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #1536 on:** April 26, 2017, 07:58:14 pm »

Decided to play Bench Boost this week as thought might as well use it. Have dirt cheap subs who I never normally pick. Buy Martin De Roon has only gone and scored! Had him in my squad for months and don't think he's ever earned me a point before!

That's definitely the play this year, the way it has worked out.

I played it earlier in the season, because normally there are not enough extra double-point games at the end of the season to be able to play the wildcard you need to get them in AND be able to choose enough players to have double pointers throughout your subs bench as well as your team. Anyone who can play that double whammy is in for a points bonanza.

i got a big points haul last season for one week but unfortunately the one player i didnt have was sanchez, then i couldnt get him in the team and every team around me had him and he goes on a scoring spree

we do a manager of the month in work. one of only 3 game weeks in may so hopes are high.

also in a lot of other leagues and hoping that can vault me up. i notice one of the leagues im in was harolds cross greyhound and they seem to have conveniently deleted their facebook and twitter where their league was advertised

edit: didnt know they closed altogether. genuinely surprised at that

lionel_messias · « **Reply #1540 on:** April 27, 2017, 11:36:52 am »

Think I'm on 65 and still have Aguero to play.

Have pinned back some 20 odd points on rivals this week, around 20th in Rawk as well.

paulrazor · « **Reply #1541 on:** April 27, 2017, 11:40:11 am »

73 with a Sane hat trick to come later.

Smashed my way into the RAWK top 100. So proud! On a side note, the overall comp is littered with Liverpool fans! I'm just outside the top 500,000 overall which I think is fairly decent but I'm just outside the top 100,000 Liverpool fans.

I played mine this week because I have the Swansea sub keeper and that big Polish lump at Leicester who never play. and De Roon had a double game week with two reasonable looking games so seemed like the best time to play it.

Feel like I'll lose some ground that week if everyone else plays it then though!

I used it too. Would've had a good score had Clichy played and Aguero scored. Only ended up on 68 or something. Triple captain on Aguero in week 37. He should bag a few goals then.

RJH · « **Reply #1551 on:** April 28, 2017, 07:08:31 pm »

Still got all my tokens saved up.

Planning on playing the wildcard this week to set-up for Bench-Boost/Triple Captain in GW 36 & 37.

Never really bother with using all-out attack, as my 5th midfielder always tends to be someone really cheap who's unlikely to outscore my defenders. (been Fletcher for most of this season).

I went for Benteke as captain. Burnley have been shit away from home.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #1556 on:** April 29, 2017, 02:15:10 pm »

Gone for Kane as he has a good record in the derbies.

Bought in Gabbiadini but though captain was a risk.

Benteke is a great choice although he hasn't scored many at Selhurst Park.
