I'd go for it anyway, you'll be sick if he does bang in a couple!! Taking a chance every now and then is no harm at all, in this case risk is 2 points versus potential reward of 10+!!

Be warned though, I'm bottom of our pay league in this and there could be good reasons for that :-)

hmmmmm, now considering Jelavic in for Ade, he should get 2 points minimum so am really only gambling 2 points by bringing him in.

Ya Jelavic subbed in, potential 6 points for a goal sealed the deal.

Gamble fails ends up costing 2 points. Robertson ended up getting 2 points to cancel it out though so finished on 106 for the week

Finished on 80 which was terrible considering I had costa as captain, Davies as my only player last night summed up my week with an OG. Had a look at next week and all my 7 outfield subs cost at least 8 million so expecting to bounce back in style.

I called that one right anyway, 69 points already with 7 big players left tomorrow. I had Welbeck as captain which helped.

Up to 32nd in the overall rankings after today, 3rd in Ireland

You're only 12 points off top spot for manager of the month too.

Yep, you have next week to make up those points. Worth going for with an adventurous captain pick next week

79 points after today. Should drop a fair bit in the overall rankings

Down to 51st from last nights 32nd. But overall a jump from 264th to 51st this gameweek

14 points and 38 places off the September number 1 spot though, gonna be very hard to close that out in 1 week

KevIRL

lol, just realised I only have 1 player in my squad not playing on MD1 next week. Thats Boyd of Burnley.

Nice sweat anyway. Assuming most your rivals will be captaining Costa, you leaning towards taking a punt on someone else, to try snatch the monthly prize?

that's good going Kev. i dropped from 179th to 308th thanks partly to a captain fail. Debuchy injury is a kick in the balls tho i'm not sure a loan would be worth my while. may consider it after this gw. Boyd Cabella Duff Wisdom Krul my matchday 2/3 options this gw

Not 100% tbh. The fact that there's 38 players to get past is probably more off putting in terms of taking a risk than the 14 points really.

I'd go for it, take a punt on Aguero as captain.

Too obvious, would have to be about 7-10 of the top 38 with him as capt, considering the prize at stake. Would have to take a punt on someone like Sterling and hope for a hat trick from him. Just not doable I fear.

Should have gone with augero lads

I have him, benched Jagielka last minute though, he's my first sub

58pts from yesterday saw me sneak into the top 200 overall. 2nd in the Boards league. Subbed out 3 players to bring me down to 53pts. Wisdom Duff and Boyd playing so hopefully will make that back with interest. A 0-0 would suit me very nicely indeed

I like the way the deadline is 19:45 tonight, allows us to see the lineups before making subs!

39 points so far today. But capt Augero still to go. Robertson and jelavic the unexpected points scorers
