a-k Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 On my WC now...some tough decisions as I don't want to touch most of the premiums outside of Salah, TAA, and one City defender. Really struggling for who to take as my 3rd striker... First it was Wilson, then mid-match changed it to ASM, and now I don't know. Might take a punt on DCL given the fixtures and the fact he might be thrown into action sooner than planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted December 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2021 Talk of Everton v Newcastle being postponed now due to Covid and injuries for the latter. Being as the game's not until Thursday, we probably won't know before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be perfect as I've just taken a chance on Pickford given their fixtures and DCL coming back hopefully making them a different prospect. I was 0.1 off DDG and needed rid of Ramsdale.

wilko154 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Brought in Son and De Gea, gone without Salah. Bricking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted December 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2021 Well I'm glad I wasn't stupid enough to put Butland and Gallagher in my FH team this week only for the former to be on the bench and the latter out completely.

Wainy316 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 So much for me captaining Gallagher this week. It will pass onto Salah for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 VAR dodgily disallowing Kane's goal against what was supposed to be the guidelines on use of VAR has cost me 14 points. Bleurgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted December 28, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2021 Curious how many of you use the predicted points site? Can see the benefits to it but feels like it's a step too far for me and like it's basically telling you who to pick. Admittedly I don't know that much about it so might be way off on that.

I've got 2 FHs it needed and I reckon it'll be 2 games out, maybe 3 at most. Although suspect travel restrictions might be in play by then anyway and no international travel so he wouldn't go anyway.

I don't use predicted points sites but I heavily use stuff like xG and xA to make my decisions, which I assume are used heavily in calculating xPoints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2021 Having Bowen is finally paying off. Hattrick of assists today. If Salah can grab a goal or two later then it should be a decent gameweek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look at previous points and stats, but feel like them saying player x will score 7 points just goes to far and removes the fun. But that's just me.

A Salah haul would be very handy. Edited December 28, 2021 by Rds1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
