Damn, Rudiger is back, was hoping he'd miss out for Dallas

3rd sub for me too! Had Dias and Mahrez in the 11, but they will be replaced by Che Adams and Konsa (who has now already been booked! ). Dont think there's any chance any of my other 11 will not play so there's 17 points down the drain from Dallas. Such a frustrating game

There's no way most people would think Dallas will keep a clean sheet against City and certainly no way you'd expect him to score, let alone score twice. That's why it's basically a game of luck a lot of the time.

Me too.
Last chance now is for Holding not to play, but it seems he's back in favour.

Captained Mahrez, didn’t get on. Vice captain Mo, that’ll do.

Played my WC this week.

Sold Dallas, Watkins and Havertz on it.

Anyone with Digne, Coufal and Soucek? Rest easy tonight, lads. Points in the fucking bag.

Crimson · « **Reply #3845 on:** April 11, 2021, 08:22:07 am »

Had three injured, so had to put Dallas on. Was expecting a mauling, but worked out allright..

Having Dallas on your benches was a bit silly

He's always liable to get an assist

Must be the highest scoring defender

GreatEx · « **Reply #3847 on:** April 11, 2021, 11:53:05 am »

Yeah. I've had him in my squad since the beginning, benched him maybe 4 or 5 times when playing a high calibre opponent, and he's scored or assisted all but once. I never learn.

What defenders are you playing away to City though? I don’t think it was an easy decision to make at all. No-one would have been surprised if City had put 4 past Leeds (obvs not with hindsight) but you know what I mean.

I am having a dreadful week with one more (DCL) to play

well i dont have a good squad there but still even if they let in 4, he still gets the appearance points and as i said always potential for assists or goals or that city wont fire up

very reliant on DCL tonight

not a great week, Dallas and son aside

Grobbelrevell · « **Reply #3851 on:** April 12, 2021, 03:09:17 pm »

29 points on my bench.

33 in my starting team so far, with only DCL left to play.

Worst part is, I won't even get Watkins (8 points) in for the unplayed Dias, because I only started with three defenders - so it'll be Targett (zero points).

Dallas 3rd sub.

Christ.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #3852 on:** April 12, 2021, 07:36:11 pm »

Che Adams on for fifteen minutes, to ruin my chances of Dallas coming in.

Nice one, you skeleton gloved twat.

paulrazor · « **Reply #3853 on:** April 12, 2021, 10:55:44 pm »

DCL not playing cost me a win by one point in one league against a fella who had sub points from of all people holding and brewster

74 points on my WC. Normally i'd be delighted with that but I sold Watkins, Dallas, Digne, Coufal, Soucek, Havertz and Pereira who all returned this week! Though hard to say who I would have picked.

Brought in Holding, TAA, Lacazette and Son this week who helped me claw back some points in my cash mini-League on the leader. I had intended to play out the season for fun but now I am within 25 points of the leader so may look to take it more seriously!

I brought in Neto for a punt, given their fixtures but he got injured in the first half and is now out for the season. So I might look towards someone like Greenwood as a little punt but will see how Thursday goes for them, as he isn't always a guaranteed starter. But he cameo against Spurs should see him get more playing time, and as Rashford looks goosed atm.

RJH · « **Reply #3857 on:** April 13, 2021, 06:13:58 pm »

29 points - think that's my worse haul for years!

Swapped out Son and Antonio for Kane and Neto, which turned out to be a waste of time.
Fernandes did sod all as Captain again.
And just to cap the weekend off, Ward-Prowse has come off the bench for -1

Realised though that I haven't used by Free Hit or Wild Card yet, so I think I'll be wielding the axe this week.
Just have to wait to see if City get through to the CL semis (and thus will be continuing to rest everyone in the league).

juggling act this week

spurs playing twice, palace not at all

next week no spurs, city, southampton and fulham

already took out calvert lewin for lacazette

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #3861 on:** April 16, 2021, 10:26:34 am »

Triple Captained Kane. Might as well. Still got that, a bench boost and a wild card left.

Me too. Think it's the perfect time to do it, what with the Dulux partnership and all.

Emerald Red · « **Reply #3863 on:** April 16, 2021, 06:29:30 pm »

I've triple captained Kane too, but not convinced he'll start against Southampton.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #3864 on:** April 16, 2021, 09:56:43 pm »

Ok so we might only get Kane for one game! Didn’t realise they had a cup final next week too. But still 30 points plus bonuses one to come isn’t too shabby.

If past history is anything to go by, he'll miss the Southampton game and declare himself fit for the final the day after.

Sheer Magnetism · « **Reply #3866 on:** April 16, 2021, 10:30:00 pm »

Yeah, turns out saving the double captain for now might work out after all.

Assuming he gets two bonus points as a minimum that’s 36 points and I’d have settled for that in advance I think.

GreatEx · « **Reply #3868 on:** April 18, 2021, 10:14:00 pm »

So... I have KDB (injured), Kane (injured) and SuperBruno (useless of late) in my squad. Auba is injured, Sterling is more out than in Fucking Pip's rotation of late, Mane is broken and the bloke I'm trying to catch already has Mo. So I really don't know how to spend my money. Will probably end the season with 10 mil in the bank and Iheanacho and JBeanz as my star players. What a bizarre season.

paulrazor · « **Reply #3869 on:** April 19, 2021, 08:21:48 am »

similar start to last week

big points to begin with (for dallas see kane) and no body does anything else

went minus 4 with cresswell and dcl out for lazazette and coufal who only got 6

paulrazor · « **Reply #3870 on:** April 22, 2021, 12:49:01 pm »

what a game hey

few weeks back i took out stones and sterling for cresswell and raphina

both of whom got injured after one game

this week went minus 4 to get cresswell out and also to bring in lacazette for calvert lewin who was also injured

lacazette and kane both proceed to get injured

i thought my luck was done when son had a goal disallowed but luckily he nicked a late goal

was dead set to lose a head to head game with someone but its now gonna be a draw because of stones getting sent off

next week will be trouble

gundogan, kane, son dont play. lacazette injured and raphina a doubt

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #3871 on:** April 22, 2021, 01:58:57 pm »

64 points but that’s with triple captaining Kane who presumably would have scored the penalty last night had he played. Think I hit one assist from everybody else!

Bobinhood · « **Reply #3872 on:** April 22, 2021, 07:17:33 pm »

such a sad year, im up to 2.4 million which is my best placing since week 3

there are mane reasons for my downfall

but i cant quite put my finger on one or arnoldther. feel like ive been robbod.

keano7 · « **Reply #3873 on:** April 22, 2021, 11:14:18 pm »

64pts for the gameweek. Lost a bit of ground on the leader of my mini league. Vardy only 1 bonus point despite recording a goal and assist. Frustrating.

paulrazor · « **Reply #3874 on:** April 23, 2021, 02:17:12 pm »

OH DEAR

son ,gundogan and kane wont play

raphina and lacazette out

at least a minus 8 coming on

fuck it

gundogan, lacazette and raphina out. salah, lingard and iheanacho in

still only 9 players

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #3875 on:** April 23, 2021, 03:18:18 pm »

Made 8 changes with my wild card. Still got a few million in the bank too for the next few weeks.

paulrazor · « **Reply #3876 on:** April 23, 2021, 03:59:18 pm »

tempted to go further with minuses

4 players out is -12 which is very risky but a lot of leagues im in people are in same boat. with at least 4 unavailable

thing is if i bring in 4 players you would think the least theyll get is 2 points each. the people i take out will do nothing so essentially its worth a go

GreatEx · « **Reply #3878 on:** April 25, 2021, 11:22:58 pm »

I've moaned a lot about the many bad decisions I've made in this game, so today I should point out that I made two very good ones this week: starting Shaw ahead of Kabak even though you'd normally say the latter had the better fixture, and the big one, bringing Chris Wood off the bench in place of Kane rather than transfer in a pricey replacement for Sir Harold.

LallanaInPyjamas · « **Reply #3879 on:** April 26, 2021, 10:31:56 am »

Yeah Chris Wood did absolute bits for me yesterday, pretty much wrapped up my draft league and has given me an outside shot of contending for my normal one.
