Bringing in Eze was huge. The injury to Koulibaly forced me to use my 2nd FT...was debating between Konate/Robertson but in the end went with Dias, so that LEI goal stings a bit...

Stevo985 Posted April 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2023 60 with 2 to play. Inside the top 300k now. Top 200k finish is on, and an outside chance of troubling the top 100k. Stunned about that given how bad my start was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2023 Finishing on 73. Up to 275k. Hopefully tonight’s game won’t hurt that too much. If you’d offered me top 300k after the World Cup I’d have snapped your hand off given the position I was in. Top 200k is now the minimum target 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 59 at this point in our head to head with 3 players still to play I've ended with 60 , though Harrison plays tonight poxy game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opposite to be honest. Up to the World Cup it felt like a template season. Risks weren’t really working and the players that everyone had were doing well. So after the World Cup I decided to be super boring just to steady the ship and gain some places. But it’s kept working I was planning on taking some risks from about GW30 but I didn’t expect to have recovered so well so I think I’m going to just consolidate from here. If I’m in touching distance of 100-150k going into the last couple of weeks I might gamble to see if I can make it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 17, 2023 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2023 All out on 59 with a current safety score of 60, so a teency red which hopefully won't grow too much this evening. Salah could be a killer. Free hit time baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my fingers crossed for a first minute red card Though in reality he needs a hat-trick and full bonus for me to drop to third place in ourt money league as this week I went from a 6 point deficit in third to second by with an 18 point margin but my rival has Salah left to play I ended up on 74 for the week thanks to Kepa coming off the bench with his ludicrous amount of saves. My team certainly rode their luck this week with the Grealish CS too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Hope he blanks tonight, but really have to think long and hard (KW.gif) about taking a -4 to move Kane to Salah. Could get in Isak to replace Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I would be so gutted if it was me but an unnamed manager in the league had 30+ points from Villa players on his bench for this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Who needs a defence when you have strikers like this. Trying to catch someone at top of my mini league who is top 5k and still 50 pts ahead of me which is rough. Ederson is a troll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 19, 2023 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2023 Free hitter decisions. Do you go with Trippier or with Kane? Do you go against one for one week on the basis that one probably negates the other's score. Or just hedge your bets Do you trust Eze/Olise or Maddison? Do you bring in Jota, or risk Darwin? Do you go Trent and Robbo for safer returns or use 3rd Liverpool further forward? Which 3 Arsenal? Do you go with Toney? Assuming Watkins is a given in current form. Is Solanke home to West Ham a good pick? Maybe Isak or Wilson against a lacklustre Spurs. I think there are some decent differentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Solanke home to West Ham a good pick? Maybe Isak or Wilson against a lacklustre Spurs. I think there are some decent differentials. on my lunch break and i'm having the exact same conundrums. i've asked myself basically all the same questions. my personal answers are: Do you go with Trippier yes, i'm scared of his ownership % and i've twice been burned this season leaving him out or with Kane? no, spurs are awful Do you go against one for one week on the basis that one probably negates the other's score. Or just hedge your bets Do you trust Eze/Olise not massively on board the palace hype train myself. they've done what they need to do and they could be in holiday mode. doesn't help that roy almost certainly won't be manager next season so not like they need to particularly impress him. also this time of year teams down the bottom put in performances and this will be a game everton target or Maddison? i'm probably giving him a chance - he played well vs city Do you bring in Jota, or risk Darwin? no...potential risk of not starting too. Do you go Trent yes and Robbo no - not as attacking lately for safer returns or use 3rd Liverpool further forward? i'm considering gakpo as my 3rd liverpool. at the moment i have TAA, salah and allison. if we get early arsenal team news that says one of my 3 midfielders isn't starting then i'll do whomever that is to gakpo...might bring him in anyway instead of maddison Which 3 Arsenal? i'm doing the 3 midfielders mainly because knowing my luck whichever i leave out will be the one that scores the points Do you go with Toney? Assuming Watkins is a given in current form. at the moment i have both. i think there will be goals in this game...but toney is still a ? for me. i might look for a differential instead Is Solanke home to West Ham a good pick? bournemouth are so inconsistent. it would be very, very typical for them to lose at the weekend. and solanke has been largely poor this season Maybe Isak or Wilson against a lacklustre Spurs. neither are a nailed on starter so they're both a no from me I think there are some decent differentials. moreno definitely...whilst i think there will be goals so good chance of no clean sheet, i think he offers a real attacking threat for us. with us playing on tuesday and a decent replacement, there's a chance of a sub before brentford score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I'm not on FH but I'm bored so I quickly put this together: Ramsdale White Trent Trippier Martinelli Eze Bowen Maddison Salah Watkins Jota Bench: Iversen Isak Guehi Mings 0.3 left in the bank based on my budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
