Not that brave as I sold Kane two weeks ago to get Vardy in.... Who's done absolutely nothing. Left me with a choice between Son or Nacho really and thought Son was more likely to score big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Im on 47 with Lingard to go and Coady will come off my bench if the Utd Pool game doesn't end up being played this week. Thought they might have done it today but Utd have Roma on Thursday so impossible now. I only have Jota and Fernandes so worked out okay for me. Bit of a shame this season is such a shitshow though.

Stevo985 Posted May 3, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2021 Yeah it's a real kick in the teeth if that game doesn't go ahead, especially with it making the doubles and blank easier to navigate. Jealous of people in the high 40.s with players to go tonight. Great result that. This wasn't a good week for Dias and Alonso not to play for me!

Stevo985 Posted May 4, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2021 This gameweek has really annoyed me to be honest. 34 points isn't great but I don't understand how it's resulted in such a big red arrow when so many people would have been affected by the cancellation. Also the cancellation means every man and his dog is going to have loads of DGW players now and not many missing in the blank gameweek. So yet again planning has resulted in bugger all gains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 So Lowton concedes twice, Podence played 20 minutes, Coady conceded and Pereira done nothing resulting in a massive 24 point week. 33k red arrow, 128k overall. I would quite like this FPL season to be done with now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 5, 2021 Right I'm back. Well that was all a bit shit. Absolute horlicks of a week. 29pts all out and only 7 players played. Thank McGrath for Ollie's little haul. A 33k red arrow to 188k which could have been a whole lot worse had Kane done anything. Feared the worst when I saw 4-0 but somehow got out of that one unscathed. Hopefully the doubles fall for me now. If Liverpool end up doubling this week then I'll have "lucked"* into a cracking team for the week. * although we can hardly call any of this luck in the positive sense.

Obviously luck always plays a part in FPL. But to have a huge chunk of your team wiped out through something like this is so frustrating. There's no way you can account for that. I think I got away with it earlier in the season when we had games cancelled through covid so this is the first time it's really stung me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I got 40 points from 9 players this week. Overall, not a terrible score, considering. Son, Christenson & Mendy really saved me. I’ve finally bitten the bullet and got Ihaenacho in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didnt but first thought is Utd could be a trap as it's 3 games in 5 days with Leicester and Liverpool back to back. There'll be heavy rotation and potentially low scoring games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Wow - I’ve been without Bruno for a few weeks and was going to leave him for the DGW... gonna have to bring him in now as he’ll be the ultimate rank killer if I don’t. Annoying as I had already planned transfers for this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed by a blank. I'm currently mulling over Lingard to Greenwood but the rotation is worrying plus it's only 1 extra fixture over 2 weeks and if I want him straight back then it'll be 4pts and Lingard has a decent fixture too. I'll have a closer look tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted May 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2021 United also play tomorrow night so that's 4 games in 8 days with 2 of those played with only 1 days rest. Surely our game has to be the most rotated for them as it would theoretically be the easiest and not to a Champs League rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Shaw already and might pick up another one at most but struggling to decide who is lowest rotation risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I’m not one to knee jerk react. But it’s 40 minutes after the announcement and I’ve just brought in 2 Man Utd players, with minimal planning for the blank gameweek, and took my total transfers this week to a -12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Have Bruno already so I'll just bring in a United defender and go with that. Free hitters must be absolutely laughing right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
