    Kane & Ighalo yikes! I'd be starting one of them and Barkley over Mahrez and Payet probably.

    Meh. I'm going by form more than anything else. Barkley and Ighalo haven't done anything for a while. Though tempted to throw Kane in with Cech and Kosc out for Arsenal

    ... Kane in for Payet. Don't burn me again Djimi


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Alder and Bellerin benched. Standard :rolleyes: At least bringing Kane in late worked out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    raging here. could quite easily be looking at a tonne but penalty misses and late goals conceded means i'm looking at 73 with Mahrez to play. Payet's late assist and goal (14pts!) really was the salt in the wound with him sat on my bench!

    Same here. Courtois & Azpi in the team with Payet, Alli and Alder all sitting there laughing at me!

    Mahrez didn't make the team either. Sigh!

    bad luck jimmii. he brought me up to 84pts, easy for tomorrow it'll be Firmino in for Ozil(2pts)

    I can claw some of them back tomorrow possibly. I can make no changes and if Smalling doesn't play then Morgan and Alder will come in. The rest are all locked miles away unfortunately.

    i'll be happy if i can just see a rankings rise this week. frustrating seeing good points on the bench, but hopefully a good % of competitors will be in the same boat. plenty to play for i feel especially with upcoming doubles. fun to be had with loans


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭Wamble


    Such tough choices. Benched Marhez, Ali, Bellerin and Morgan. Seems we've all done similar though. 74(-3) with Firmino, Ward and Dawson to come for -7 tomorrow.

    I'm not feeling confident given the scoring in the main game expecting to see a lot of 80+ scores.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Fell 56 places have to hope Smalling doesn't play (or brings in some points!) to stop a further fall tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Don't f'ing believe it. I forgot to sub in Firmino. Was convinced I had maybe I just forgot to click confirm

    So annoying am convinced i made the change am usually very careful with the changes, mailed them saying so but doubt they'll give me his points somehow

    You never know. It does seem highly unlike though. Still a decent week for you though right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    How are people set for this week? Annoying its a reduced week given its a 3 day week. I have 6 MD1s plus Kosc + Ozil, 4 MD2 and 4 MD3. If Arsenal win then I will probably bring in some reinforcements probably a 4th Leceister and I have no idea who else really!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    After Alder & Smalling subbed in the drop went down to 21 places happy enough with that. Thats 3 small reds back to back now though.

    Just checked and I have the same as you - 6 MD1 plus 2 ars, 4 MD2 and 4MD3. We must have similar squads.

    Yeah decent but these little things do frustrate. Lost out on 12 points due to a late change (Kane in for Payet) and a non change! (Firmino). Ah well you're never going to be on point for every thing in an ufpl season.

    3x 2-week loans for me (-15) hopefully it pays off gives me a few more options this gw at least (6 + Lewis Grabban for MD1, then 4 for both MD2&3)

    With the Yaya news I will more than likely be making some moves.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,183 ✭✭✭Dearg81


    I just brought Yaya in for the week. That was a nice waste of 3 points :-)

    You can't anyway. If you did it would cancel out your existing loans.

    you can cancel loans before the MD1 deadline without losing points. then just re-do the loans with just the players you want

    Four MD1's and seven MD2+3's. Ouch. Will be making a minimum four loans. Taking Yaya off the watchlist too :(

    Actually I could owe you a lot more than 3 as I brought in Bony instead of Yaya. Those 3 pints could easily become 13!
