WHU606 Fantasy Premier League 16/17 (now with added prizes)

Mate, you've made Harry Rednapp look quite on the transfer front!

Your posts in this thread have been more entertaining that the actual game ;biggrin

Bazshuayi

Fantasy is usually better than reality.... ;wink

I have to give credit to Redknapp though. He didnt copyright 'down to bare bones', 'wheeling n dealin' or 'triffic' so I could use them in my post match interviews

9 changes for Chelsea.



;angry

Conte ;deadhorse

Hamstew

Yep completely done me over

Bazshuayi

2nd place is struggling too Ham. (just in case you're apps not working and you can check ;wink ) so you're still good

Ummm, you only have 1 chelsea player! It cost me 4 points to bring in Costa and watch him on the bench ;weep I could've saved those 4 points and watched Gabbiadini on the bench instead ;doh ;lol

Feel free to take it in turns.... Maybe some verbal chastising and humiliation too? Or is that just turning a little bit too much into 'fantasy' football ;wink

TwistandShout

Had Costa + Luiz ;doh

Also used my bench boost which has given me 2 extra points #winning

Bazshuayi

One of those bite you double GWs where the brave and the reckless and the canny had to fill the squad with Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Southampton and Spurs players.

Dont they care about the real game? Fantasy football!

They should have the decency to inform us a week in advance who's going to be rested so we can tinker accordingly.

Nurse! I need to lay down

Are swear words allowed now Suz?

SuzanneClaret

Only in your head ;biggrin

Bazshuayi

dangerous place ;puzzled

MrsGrey

;nonono

Alexis Sanchez (captain). ;bowdown ;wahoo

Bazshuayi

Yes, thats one decent decision you and I made ;phew

MrsGrey

If only my other players had played. ;weep

Yep we've both got decent points but I agree. I totally regret spending the 8pts to bring in Costa. That could be crucial (I guess I knew it would be and needed it to be defining in the right way) ;deadhorse

On the bright side, we're moving on up in the points league ;biggrin

I know I'm not in this league but I picked Sanchez as triple captain. He's gonna get 81 points for me! Insane! Some people in my league haven't even managed that for their whole team.

I'm sure they'll be glad you pointed that out hehe. Between Sanchez and Pickford who gets MoM I guess

TwistandShout

Couldn't afford Sanchez ;weep

Bazshuayi

Much like Ham, I'm having computer issues. My monitor doesnt seem to go beyond the top 5 ;hmm

MrsGrey

I'll be content if I can get over 2000 points and a top 10 finish. ;pray

Bazshuayi

I decided to look primarily on the overall points league as I know when I lose the H2H to you i'll get passed by a couple of other teams and go out of the top 10 ;weep

However, as mentioned last GW, the overall points between places 2 and 12 in the league was not much at all (especially with a double GW for 10 clubs) Someone who was 2nd could easily go out of the top 10 and vice versa

Youve still got players who could potentially play (anyones guess now who'll be rested) this GW so you could even get to 2000 before next GW. As for top 10, its still pretty much open and a good GW38 on top of this one for you is easily achievable. Top5 if you really have a good GW38 and basically an excellent defence of last years title unlike Leicester

P.s. Dont mention how Expat's getting on this week. I could've sworn he was 2nd at the start of GW37 ;run ;whistle

I know. I'm figuring those still pushing for a CL place will put out all of their best players, but as for the others.... ;whome

I'm thinking of just 1 change for next week, but might throw caution to the winds and make 2. ;nolan

MrsGrey

Also I imagine Conte will have an eye on the FA Cup.

Expat_Hammer

He won't be able to open either of them if I get hold of him ;angry

Bazshuayi

I have 3 chelsea players. Hazard is well due a rest and it wouldn't surprise me if none of my other 2 play and be saved for the cup.

Kompany could easily get rested now Stones is back (i'll be furious!)

Who knows who'll be rested from the Spurs team too ( 3 of them too!)

I'd say only Jesus and Sanchez are guaranteed to start (actually I'lltake that back on Jesus)

Only Arsenal, Liverpool and City are playing for anything

That sounds like a more than reasonable justification for Bazfers in my opinion ;wahoo

OR... A good reason not to transfer out anyone!

Got a bad feeling about GW38 now and a sort of comeuppance awaiting for teasing this week ;wink

#ugggg!

My long shot for that fell away in the last couple of weeks.

Took out Sanchez and he started scoring again, replaced with Hazard who hasn't scored since. Dropped Origi to the bench last week, scored. Dropped Clyne and put him last on bench so Benlouane will be subbed in (two games ;doh) for Cedric if he doesn't play today.
