You'd know that despite owning him, that every goal and assist was counting double against you as everyone else had captained him. You'd want him to be subbed off ASAP.

Stevo985 Posted October 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2022 It's not really a debate to be honest. It's just maths. If you own a player with a greater than 100% EO and you haven't captained him then every point he scores is a negative for you. (unless you only care about a specific minileague in which other people don't own/haven't captained said player) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless you only care about a specific minileague in which other people don't own/haven't captained said player) when a player has over 100% effective ownership, yeah i agree. otherwise, i'm still always going to want them to score me points, i just want them to score less than the captain i chose but admittedly i don't check the EO every week so i'm not sure how frequently more than 1 player is over 100% (it can't be that often can it?) this week it's only haaland from what i can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the whole point of the conversation was when they're over 100%. If they're not then it's a completely different issue 15 minutes ago, tomav84 said: but admittedly i don't check the EO every week so i'm not sure how frequently more than 1 player is over 100% (it can't be that often can it?) this week it's only haaland from what i can see Haaland has broken the game. It won't be very often this season because everyone will captain Haaland. But in previous seasons it was very often. Back when Bruno and Salah were the best players in the game it was basically every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) 111 after Ward and Maddison. I think this is my biggest ever single GW haul, and maybe even the first time I didn't red arrow straight off a WC Edited October 3, 2022 by a-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted October 4, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2022 Safety score of 75 this week. It's going to be a ridiculously high scoring season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 4, 2022 Maddison ruined my chance of a half decent week. Another red arrow. This season is killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 4, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2022 Well I'll take top of the H2H league as a brag for now. I still feel like I'm not doing brilliantly this season. The ranks are all so close you can drop half a mil in no time. It really hasn't settled. After Saturday I was outside the top million and now I'm 352k thanks to Haaland (who absolutely everyone owns anyway), KDB & Maddison. Each Maddison goal was worth 100k last night. Only 34 off the top of our league so that's good. And now with 2FTs and 2.5ITB I can go in quite a few directions. All depends on the prezzers. I'm in England this weekend too so I'll be away from my trusty spreadsheet I have a few potential fires up front though in the shape of Isak & Mitrovic. Hopefully they get extinguished in said prezzers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 No Maddison hurt a little but 82 point week, another green arrow and a 1.4m rank rise over the past 2 weeks Top 1m soon we move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convinced Nunez is going to come good. I am near the bottom on my league so use this information as you see fit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
