Troglodyte Posted October 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2022 Really not good this week. James and Maddison with 2 points between them is a killer. Have Mendy still but Kepa started as I suspected he might, so a single Ward point it is. Changed my mind about 15 times as to whether to take a hit to bring Zaha in this week, but went against it in the end - I do have Eze, not that he's comparable. So expect a Zaha haul tomorrow and nothing out of Eze, Rashford and the big Liverpool players I've stuck with (Trent, Salah). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've followed your season particularly closely because I regard your as a rival. You've not done anything wrong, but **** me you've gone rogue a few times. Your defence has caused you trouble.

I tried to be slightly different a couple of times like starting the season with Son instead of Jesus and going for Rashford, but I’ve just ended up missing their hauls. Ah well, plenty of time left. But my chances of a high finish are basically gone now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiocy! maddison v bournemouth instead of saka and andreas away to west ham as sub is 100% the right thing on paper. just one of those weekends. my error is having 3 out of by back 6 made up of leicester and newcastle players who are just incapable of keeping clean sheets. THAT is idiocy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted October 9, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2022 Looking like I'm on 69 points with Rashford to play later. QUite happy with that considering Mitrovic is injured and I made no transfers Should take me into the top 2mil players for the first time in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Brilliant week, finishing on 84 points. Another couple games to go which will change things but on an massive green arrow again. Feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Stuck on 59 with whatever Bailey gets or if he’s injured as predicted I’ll get Pereira 6 off the bench. Safety score is already 70+ so not been a great week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About where I am this week. Had a glimmer of hope that before the utd game last night I still had 3 players remaining when a lot of people would have none. Rashford had a a goal ruled out for VAR and Utd conceded early so Dalot never had a chance at a CS. Typical. I've got Buendia left but given my luck this week he'll start on the bench and come on for 2 minutes (If he didn't play I'd get Andreas) Either way another appalling week.

In the past I've found that people focus on something like a blank fixture week like it's a much bigger deal than it is, and they disproportionately prepare for it to the detriment of other weeks. Then it comes and goes with a whimper. People will take the odd hit. People will use their bench and some with a worst case scenario will play with 10 men. Kane has United so flipping Haaland probably won't yield much. Flipping KDB to Salah who then goes off against West Ham might do something, but with the form Liverpool are in I doubt many will do that either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you can get eleven players out there’s not much reason to do much surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you consider what City & Arsenal are heading into straight after it. Sweet sweet green fixtures. Any surgery will need to be undone immediately, meaning spending 4 or 8pts (and probably losing squad value). Even if it isn't in hits directly, it will be using up free transfers that could be used elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted October 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 10, 2022 Probably a bit of a noodle scratcher this weekend. One of either Cancelo(liv), Trippier(mun) or Perisic(EVE) will be on the bench alongside Andreas(BOU), so no doubt I'll pick the wrong one. You'd imagine Perisic should play based on the fixture but he's not a guaranteed starter and I don't want to risk a 10 miunte cameo. Cancelo is away to Liverpool but then they're a bit shite at the moment. You think they'd score though. And Trippier is capable of assists but United have scored in every home game this season so you're relying on an attacking return. Plan is to roll the FT.
