Bad start but a low scoring week so not much ground lost.

Absolutely, very little lost, a little disappointed because a lot of players I had in various draft teams scored well but I was very happy with the team I picked.

The person who will win this year probably made less than 40 this week:)
My 32 is just fine, thank God for Rooney and Defoe

PARlance

30 points. In years gone by I would be picking my WC. Which mightn't be a bad idea...

Just Theo for the chop, team value looks like it'll be important this year so can't stand by and watch him drop. Even though I think he'll play at the weekend. Think I've a day to mull it over.

Yeah. They were up for half odds if he tied with Albrighton. Betting is a bigger mugs game thsn this fpl lark.

When the scores update tonight.

45 points thanks to Yaya. Hopefully he keeps the goal.

SlickRic

I'd be píssed if I had Silva.

eh i dunno

Happy with 47 considering I only decided to enter on Friday night.

Nib

45. Disappointed with yesterday and tonight, 6 points from 4 players after a great Saturday. Overall, ecstatic.

It will be interest to see how they treat any other deflections going forward,

Disappointing but in no way disastrous. This gameweek was so hit and miss really. Look at someone like Ville Ronka, despite never winning it he's easily the best player of the game in the last 6 or 7 years, he scored 29 points this week with only 1 of his players scoring 6 or more points (Azpilicueta). He has finished 277th, 90th, 4,668th, 1,631st, 362nd, 569th and 4,266th in his 7 years playing. This is his team, which if posted on here before 12:45pm on Saturday wouldn't have been given much criticism:

Where did he post that?

FHFC

A guy in the Moolah league some of us are in played bench boost with 2 non playing subs.

One was Mickey Turner, but still. 61 points and will probably top the table for the first and last time.

Mr P. is in the moolah league! :eek:

On a more serious note, i don't understand why fools like that even enter ultra competitive cash leagues. It's money pissed down the drain for them. Jammy git had Yaya and hart on the bench too!

Yeah. Although in fairness you'd hope that in playing that chip he at least had the cop on note to spend ages on tean selection! As for your first question, i take it you're not complaining!

tom_k

34 points. Not bothered at at all, the race is long. I'm still happy enough with my team despite the misfires this GW. The one player I'm most concerned about is Sterling, I think his inclusion may have been a mistake.

AidySevenfold

would of won or at least drawn my H2H if Sterling the ****ebag could of scored that one in one in the first half

Lemlin

42 points. Happy with my team.

Necronomicon

34 points - not quite enough to avoid the millionaires club, but like others around that score have said it's certainly not a disaster for the week that's in it. Paully's post really puts things into perspective; the guy top of one of my money leagues scored a whopping 71, but if he posted his draft here on Friday it would have (rightly) been torn apart.

I don't know if I can say I'm happy with my team - early days, but there were worrying signs concerning one or two of my players - but certainly nothing that a couple of transfers over the next couple of GWs won't solve (hopefully!).

Anyone get an email back from the powers that be re the Silva goal

Griever931

27 points, not the best of starts but I am not that bothered and wont be making any panic transfers yet.

Yeah, they said that Opta have determined that Yaya scored it so it won't be changed. I haven't seen the goal yet but it sounds like the Dubious Goals panel may eventually give it to Silva. Oh well, those 8 points would have been nice but I'm still happy with 42

For those unhappy with their gameweek - have belief in your research and hold fire on making any rash decisions for the next 2 GW's at least IMO.

This time last year Villa were keeping a clean sheet at Stoke, Austin was missing a penalty against Hull who themselves kept a clean sheet on the road, Dier had scored the winner at West Ham, while Lee Cattermole had smacked one in against West Brom.

The top 5 scorers in every position this week are: GK's - Adrian, Romero, Guzan, Hart, Mignolet. DEF's - Kompany, Gomez, Smalling, Delaney, Amavi. MID's - Mahrez, Albrighton, Yaya, Cabaye, Ayew. FOR - Kone, Cisse, Zarate, Igahlo, Gomis. There's just no way any serious player will have too many of those players in their teams.

It's a long, long 37 GW's ahead.

Nice post. I'd say many needed this too. wp

SlickRic

30 points.

McCarthy in so I've 11 for GW2. with the help of some advice in here (especially Paully), I'm going to be patient for another week.

I'm going to hold fire on Walcott, while also trusting Rooney will out score Aguero over the next 2 GWs.

Clyne put in two shifts for you?? Flukey :pac:

Invincible

Finished on 39 for the week, Azpi,Shaw & Silva with 6pts each, poor returns from Czech & Hazard ©. Rooney lucky with his assist!
