Stevo985 Posted April 4, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2021 Yeah I'm having a bit of a shocker. Cresswell and Antonio returning tomorrow MIGHT scrape me a green arrow but I'm not holding my breath. Wildcard active this week methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcard active this week methinks Kane captain seems to have saved my week (although most people have the same) as he's scored nearly half my points. Minor returns from Watkins, Dias, Raphina etc have helped me to 60 with Lingard still to go so hoping for a small green arrow. So many zero and 1 points around for key players. I've hit the wildcard already this week, team wasn't bad to begin with but it feels good. No doubt I'll be fiddling with it all week mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Could be a good week if we get some Digne/Calvert Lewin points. Ownership % on them is actually pretty low, hope I get a little something as I have zero West ham and a lot are going to still have them after last week.

Farlz Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) 48 points and a small red arrow as things stand for me. It's a good job I captained Kane because pretty much no one else has done anything. Antonio and Cresswell left to play.

Wanted to get rid of Calvert Lewin around end of December but Villa getting hit with covid and a bunch of fixtures called off made me hold him and I've kept him due to their extra game they have. Not sure that's worth it at this point. Will have a small green arrow by the looks of it but Lingard doing a lot of damage to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted April 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2021 Lingard helping me to a score of 73 and about a 100k green arrow to 270k odd. I'm now over thinking my wildcard and if I should keep what I have. The fixtures swing though so makes sense to use it to attack the final 7/8 games.

I've had Digne and DCL for far too long this season doing absolutely nothing for me most weeks. It was when I ditched them I started to improve ranks but was a hard decision with their doubles.

AndyM3000 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'll look to get them out soon but they play in GW33 and I have 6 currently blanking so they may survive once more. I still have wildcard but waiting on news of the re-arranged fixtures and potentially another big DGW in 35 if they move the last few games about to let fans in.

Stevo985 Posted April 6, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2021 Was quietly hoping for at least 10 points between Antonio and Cresswell to salvage an average week. They got 2. Absolute disaster of a week. Finished on 42 with a 55k red arrow. Undone weeks of consistent gains. Makes the top 100k look pretty unlikely now. Wildcard is active!

Rds1983 Posted April 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2021 I was tempted to wait on the wildcard to hear more about the rescheduled fixtures and possible big DGW35 but felt they'd probably wait ages before announcing it all and I'd then just be using it for only a few weeks.

BOF Posted April 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2021 Somehow managed a small green arrow. I'll take that amongst the shitshow. Other managers must have had nightmares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Two weeks in a row with 70 points has made a big difference to my rankings. That’s been enough to move up about 100k places, and from somewhere in the 40s to 24 in the VT league. The gamble was using my wildcard ahead of GW29, luckily that same team + Fernandes did the business this week too. It’s all tall order to get the big hitters back in now though, so it’ll be a gradual change with a few low priced gems in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2021 I particularly enjoyed Rudiger being benched and getting into a training ground bust-up with Kepa as soon as I signed him. That was a new variation on my now definitely true player purchase curse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they ship another 5 goals mind is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I did go from being quite annoyed (but not entirely surprised) when I saw he wasn't starting to strangely pleased to see WBA score 5. I'm keeping him on my wildcard and have added Mendy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 7, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2021 Shipping 5 goals was heartbreaking when you've gone out on a limb and captained Alonso! Hit the post twice, got an assist and ended up with 3 **** points. Small margins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 7, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2021 But I'll probably still sign Rudiger if it looks like he'll be back in the team. Currently got Azpi in my WC draft but could do with the extra cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 7, 2021 -4 taken, to ease me into the new template. I could do an 8 or a 12 but it probably (hopefully) wouldn't make sense as that would mean Salah hauled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
