    These are De Bruyne's GW stats so far.

    3/2/3/9/6

    Can you work out when I sold him?

    Go on, have a guess. ;doh
  • I've just bought Aguero - start selling off now ;lol
  • I played my Free Hit this week as I'm fed up with scoring 30 points. it seems to be working but I made Kane my captain instead of Aguerro ;doh
  • Spuds draw yesterday and the Russians Gooner game ends 0-0.

    Pathetic!

    They just don't think about people's fantasy football teams ;angry
  • Yeah, and the permed pillock getting sent off ;angry
  • The fact that Zabaleta got a bonus point says a lot about our game.

    Lukaku has saved me a bit and hopefully after autosubs I end up with not such a bad total after forgetting I needed to make my changes before the Friday game.

    I'm already planning ahead for how I'm going to meet my now-traditional weelky targets:

    1. Swap out a player who will do really well for someone who will score significantly fewer points (preferably spending 4 points to achieve this)
    2. Bench my higher-scoring GK
    3. Give the armband to the striker who scores least of the three.



    ;bee
  • I'm thinking of getting Ayew ;hmm
  • ;hmm

    Instead of who?

    ;ok

    Better run of fixtures, for sure. He's not a guaranteed starter, but as a MF he gets more for his goals that a striker. Also in good form. ;hmm

    Would you have him as a starter in your team, or rotate him with another mid-priced MF player?
  • I'd rotate him, depending on who we and the other MFs are playing.
  • I played my wildcard today - I know - too many players that I wanted to rotate into the squad.

    I had Pogba in as Captain - did not realize that he was going to be out injured ;doh

    got a good point haul in, needed it after the 12 points in transfers. Walker / Lloris / Bertrand / Dawson picked me up a tasty 28 points in the back 4.

    Foolishly captained Kane over Lukaku though. However getting Mkihtaryian in for Pogba netted me a few more.

    Going to give Kane and Firmino a few more games for improvement if no points come in i might bin them and get in Gabriel Jesus and take a punt on Chris Wood of Burnley and bring in a bigger midfielder like Salah or De Bruyne.
  • Basking in completely unexpected glory! The only way is down. ;pray

    Is your team ChrisBXI?

    Yes! Thanks for asking. ;wahoo
  • You always do well!!

    I've been wondering whose that team was for a while now. Didn't you win the league a couple of seasons back?
  • I did come top of one of the leagues a couple of years back, I think. It was nothing compared to your stellar performance last time though. ;bowdown

    My approach to the predictor and fantasy football is rather law of averages based to I don't tend to get involved in the detailed transfer discussions etc.
  • You are a sort of anti-baz then? ;lol

    ;puzzled
  • So far I have 286 points from 6 gameweeks. Towards these my front three have chipped in with 170. To think where I would be had I had a decent midfield and defence ;wink

    I think my app is malfunctioning ;hmm It seems to be showing the H2H league upside down! It must be that as there's no way I could be 29th! ;puzzled ;weep

    I actually started off worse last year and hadnt even won a H2H at this point. Oh and I only found out my position because the other 'alf mentioned she was 3 points off the leader (despite having a smaller total of points than me ;wahoo )

    Early days yet, baz ;thumbsup

    Also, if we removed the points (ill-gotten gains) from those who captained Kane this week to create a true reflection Moral Victory League, we are both be doing much better! ;whistle


    (I lost by one point in the H2H to someone who earned points from Captain Kane this week. They know who they are. ;whistle #offtheChristmascardlist )

    Just checked my other teams: rooted to the bottom of the league in Draft (rubbish game, anyway, who though it was a good idea? ;doh ); had been doing well in Cheap League until my outstanding decision to captain Alonso + leave King on the bench (rubbish game, anyway, who though it was a good idea? ;doh )

    I captained Mendy in the cheap league. He scored zero AND got injured. I assume a player who's allergic to my captains armband ;nonono I've hardly been covering myself in glory cheap league wise anyway...

    I'm not too bad in the draft league (and I like that I can attempt as many TFs as I desire every week without penalty! ;wahoo )

    As for captaining Kane, I have him in my team but there's no way I could captain him against us. When watching the game I'd be wanting him to miss everything whilst knowing he's my captain and that wouldn't sit well. I do get that if we lost there'd be compensation points wise if it was Kane's fault but I had other players who were worthy of captaincy that week ( and even if that wasnt the case I couldnt do it! ).

    I'm not doing too bad over all points wise, most likely better than at this stage last season. So I'm still optimistic on moving up in the points league (and the H2H!).

    I think the real problem is that I haven't made enough TFs!! That always helps ;wahoo ;nolan ;barrera
  • I've just found this evidence from one of the Captain Kane crew ;whistle

    Yes, I had hoped to nab Ritchie this week but noticed that you got there first ;angry




    ;wink



    Still, it answered my question about whether, if you are bottom, ALL your waivers go through, or only the 1st one. And then the turn-taking kicks in.
  • You know me, I'll probably get rid of him this week or next ;wink
  • ;lol

    #bracedtopounce
  • Coincidentally, just checked and my transactions reveal that I am actually seeking to bin off Ritchie this week hahaha
