    Ive had a very decent run since i used my Jan wildcard at first chance, would be happy enough with a top 5k finish given i forgot to change a few captain choices and teams over the season.

    Some people have had a pretty unlucky run the last few weeks - I think a lot of it is down to the fact that if your team struggled in GW25 you probably struggled in GW26 too. Sturridge, Adebayor, Lallana, Gerrard, Ivanovic all performing again for the second week running, and Marshall pulling 11 points out of nowhere while Mig got an unlikely 1. Bony, Giroud, Ozil, RVP etc all failing too.

    Not sure "luck" comes into it all that much tbh. The first list of players you mentioned are all bang in form. The second are not.

    No surprises with the first list out scoring the second bar maybe Marshall. But, even regarding Mignolet, Liverpool have kept 1 sheet in 10 iirc.

    Ive also had a great run since my play on Jan 1- jan wildcard 160k to 23k, Rory C on a great run since playing it early aswell. Lemlin on a great run and he played it near the end. To me it just shows as I said all along there is no difference one way or the other with when you decide to play the Jan wildcard. Its about playing your wildcard correctly and getting a little bit of luck with injuries.

    Dropped from 40k to 77k the week before I played my wildcard. In the 4 weeks since the wildcard I've risen to 7k. A lot of us have gone on a good run with pretty much the same team.

    Yep, my wildcard did the job alright.

    I'd have to dispute this. For me, RoryC is an example of someone who played the wildcard too early and I've said this previously.

    3 four point hits and seven transfers in 4 weeks since is not a good example for me of a well used wildcard. Particularly as there was a 4 point hit immediately after using it.

    RoryC is on a great run alright but I wouldn't agree that it's down to using his wildcard early tbh.

    Yeah I went from 20k to 6k after wc in 2nd last week of Jan. Dropped back last week though.

    Went from 30K to 3K after my WC. Big improvement

    I put my recent good run down to playing the wildcard early. I've gone from 25,000 to 1,700 since I used it.

    That's a great jump in fairness.,

    Got a decent 52 pts (39 of them from my defense (keeper + 4 def) from 10 players.

    Have 7 (maybe 8 if Hull lose tomorrow) and a half (yeah Eriksen's probably only worth a half at the moment) players currently for GW 29.
