20 points from my free hit. Couldn't make up how bad my season is going.

GreatEx · « **Reply #6401 on:** March 17, 2024, 05:33:57 pm »

19 for me, and comfortably my highest points on bench for the season. Don't think I've ever had my bench outscore my starters before. Still beat most of my mates league rivals, who also had a bunch of non performers but also chose Reguilon. One guy had Castagne in his starting lineup so he's king of the world.

24 using the Free Hit
22 from just 4 players if I hadn't used it

Chips are a curse, never seem to get much from them
Triple Captain 5 points, Bench Boost 6, Free Hit 2.

19 points and only then because I accidentally left Leno in goal when I thought I’d gone for Areola.

Managed to get 35 from my draft team that’s to Coufal, Ajer and Robinson from Fulham.

25 all out on FH, Muniz Saved my GW, i had Leno (7) & Castagne (10) points on my bench

Mine was Muniz 13, Robinson 11, some Brentford defender and the Burnley keeper who started every week until being dropped for this one

The new FH every week looks interesting

This week unlimited budget , 5 players from one team allowed

whats this

Is it time to bring Salah back? Need to take a -4 in the process if so.

I brought him back. I felt naked without him. Neto essentially done for the season and I had 9.4m in the bank which is almost all gone now

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #6416 on:** April 1, 2024, 11:17:42 pm »

Anyone with a Triple Captain left using it on Mo tomorrow? Or are there going to be some double gameweeks left to use it on! Also the risk of him being subbed on about 60 if we are at least a couple ahead.

GreatEx · « **Reply #6417 on:** April 2, 2024, 03:45:29 am »

Very tempted, he wasn't as sharp as usual on Sunday but maybe Jurgen will give him all the minutes he needs to get back to his best. Havertz at home to Luton is a tempting alternative. I usually prefer one really tasty feature over a double gameweek. Our double is two aways including a derby, not ideal.

GreatEx · « **Reply #6418 on:** April 4, 2024, 11:05:09 pm »

Jurgen not a fantasy football fan I'm guessing

I went with Havertz in the end... and underwhelming 5=>15, but better than the Mo alternative! I didn't think of it before, but Ramadan combined with the heavy schedule and SheffU being the easiest fixture made our man a risky choice.

Forgot to triple him up thankfully!

My son has Palmer and Foden though the Manc scally loving bastard.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #6420 on:** April 5, 2024, 09:18:08 am »

Really don't know when to use my triple captain chip. The only double left is gameweek 34 is that correct? We have 2 difficult fixtures. Probably better off going Palmer or Foden at the minute but I know if I do they'll get booked and come off at half time!

I'm well behind in my league but trying to finish top 3 and build for next season!

Then please select Foden! We all have to do our part... I selected Havertz, but it wasn't enough to get Luton over the line.

GreatEx · « **Reply #6422 on:** April 16, 2024, 12:19:14 am »

Been planning for a bench boost double gameweek bonanza next week, but my steadfast refusal to select Palmer when everyone else has him has already fucked me, just like my similar Haaland decision last year. Moral victories are shite.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #6423 on:** April 16, 2024, 06:43:13 am »

I’ve gone from first to third in my family leave in recent weeks through not having him. And just being a bit shit in general. Still got Toney in there, he’s not even being picked at the moment! Sleepwalking to the end of the season.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #6424 on:** April 16, 2024, 07:58:39 am »

Someone in my league went Palmer captain last night and had Foden captain 2 weeks ago when he got 20 points, only through him coming in for the vice that didn't play.

He's made up about 90 odd points in 3 weeks!

I've had a shocker this year. I post average most weeks but just haven't got any luck or got any of the big differential decisions right.

I've got triple captain left so either going to play it at the weekend on Mo or Jota or save it for gameweek 37 where Palmer is the most likely candidate with 2 games.

Seems foolish to give it to Mo at the minute with 2 difficult away fixtures for us.

I've still got Toney, in fact I was dumb enough to make him captain. I also brought in an injured Ait Nouri this week. I was bailed out by circumstances - Watkins took over as vice captain (14 points) and then Mitchell came off the bottom of my bench with 12 points, which I was obviously thrilled about, just thrilled. Still ended up well below average thanks to bloody Palmer.

I have a Draft team so obviously a bit weaker/lower scoring but before last night’s game it had more points on my bench than my select, against thanks to Mitchell, Edouard and a sub keeper!

paulrazor · « **Reply #6427 on:** April 16, 2024, 04:04:39 pm »

Palmer, Gordon, Watkins, Haaland (c) and Solanke lashed in the points. 87 in total. One of my best this season

GreatEx · « **Reply #6428 on:** April 25, 2024, 12:25:28 am »

Showed depressing prescience by trading in Pickford this week, my first bitter of the season.

Also glad I didn't use bench boost... 110 points on the field, -2 on the bench!

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #6429 on:** **Yesterday** at 07:58:06 am »

Triple captaining Mo went well.

Possibly my worst ever season in 16 years of playing the game. I had Mateta for 4 gameweeks a few months ago and he did nothing. He's now scoring for fun.

Every defender I ever put in seems to get booked.

Every player I take out seems to score.

Ones I put in turn to shit.

Wasted all my chips.

Miserable season!

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #6430 on:** **Yesterday** at 08:20:07 am »

An awful 63 points. Going big on Haaland, Salah and Nunez killing me at the moment. So much of this is luck though. My son has Mateta (fair play) but also forgot to change his captain to someone playing twice so was left with Palmer. He dint play, his vice captain who he didn’t select this week was Foden so he got a flurry of points last night. even my Dad is besting me FFS and he doesn't even know how to do this on his phone.

GreatEx · « **Reply #6431 on:** **Yesterday** at 08:49:34 am »

Speaking of luck, two of my nearest rivals had Branthwaite at the end of their bench but each of them had Palmer + Haaland + someone else not playing, so they picked up 20 on auto subs.

Anyway I got 126 which is probably a personal best when not using chips.

I saw the highest scoring player had something like 217! Triple captained Mateta and had Pickford, Brnatheaite and another Everton defender.

I still have Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips left. Are there any more game weeks with additional fixtures left? Presumably the one that’ll cover the last midweek of the season?

GreatEx · « **Reply #6433 on:** **Yesterday** at 09:45:40 am »

Yes, this week has Spurs v Chelsea as a bonus fixture. Both teams also have a double in 37, along with ADFC, Brighton, MU & KSAFC.

Ta. Going off that it might be good to use Triple Captain on. spurs or Chelsea player this week and then use bench boost when a lot of those teams are playing twice and build up to getting a few players into the team likely to be involved.

GreatEx · « **Reply #6435 on:** **Yesterday** at 10:23:25 am »

Yes, I'll probably save my bench boost for 37, although that's a risky game because you can't be sure which teams will be on the beach by then. You'd imagine Spurs and AD would have something to play for... KSA might be fighting for Europa, possibly MU too though they'll pretend it's beneath them. Who knows what Chelsea will be up to, but Palmer is after the golden boot so he should be an easy choice.

I used two transfers getting in Son and Isaak. Actually sold Haaland. And with Jota out he’s more than likely going to feature again surely.
