Makes up for Vardy and Armstrong being awful. While Alonso produces another zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toney comes in too (Douglas Luiz and Azpilicueta the others out). This of course means Foden won't start, Trent will get injured and Ronaldo will score a hat-trick this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I didn't bench James this week Have 2 free transfers for next week so I think I'm gonna give up on the KDB punt, absolutely no idea where I go with it though. I'll figure that out in a weeks time I guess. 59 points currently with just Hwang to play. Hopefully Antonio doesn't absolutely obliterate us tomorrow, can't be done with having another green arrow slashed in front of my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I have Antonio, Benrahma and Ings. Hoping for a 10-9 victory tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I feel like I’m playing catch-up already, and taking risks I probably don’t need to. I’m at 2.8m OR, which is pretty poor. This week is swerved the Salah captain in favour of Raphina. I hope he outscores Salah’s 5 points today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'd be delighted with 2.8m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season I was about the same rank after GW12 and 8 weeks later I was 200k. The ranks are still really congested. You can still make up huge jumps with decent weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Im sitting around 150k rank and last season I was absolutely miles out from that and still finished inside the top 2k. A lot of causals play chips early, even some set and forget teams can be doing fine if they did captain Salah too. Just make sure you hold the big chips for DGWs. I still see some FPL Twitter guys who take the game seriously playing these chips on a SGW, absolutely blows my mind that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted November 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2021 I've done alright this week. 61 points even without a keeper (although I have a -4) 140k rank jump at the moment up to 200k. Hoping for a very quiet game tonight. 1-1 with two own goals please. Preferably Digne and Hwang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted November 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2021 If Conte goes to Spurs it makes the next few weeks very interesting. I was set on getting Ronaldo in for Utd's good fixture run. But can you ignore Son and Kane if Conte gets them firing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted November 1, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'm hoping Jimi grabs a few tonight. Although can't complain if he doesn't as I've scored 71 to shoot up 175k to just outside the top 50k. It's so change able this early on though that means nothing. 2 hours ago, Stevo985 said: Ironically that often works out better. But you're right, I can't see why you'd play Bench Boost or TC on anything but a DGW. I'd potentially consider using TC on someone in crazy form against a truly awful defence (like Salah against Norwich) but usually it's DGW only. The trouble with that though is finding someone who will play at least 150 mins that week and not be rotated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2021 I don't think i've ever got a good result on a TC. The person I choose always makes sense. I never go for anything outlandish. But it almost never ends up with a haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
