Yeah Targett

still a nice boost if you had of benched payet in the end. As mentioned last week I was going to bring in mahrez to for a -4 to play my all out attack chip. Regret not doing it as it wouldve been a net gain of 5 pts. I honestly think anything above a 2 pt gain from the all out attack chip should be considered a success.

Sooner or Later

55 thanks mainly to Mahrez and Poyet

Jumped from 1.3m to 808k, up 554k places

Yeah, the all out attack worked simply because of who otherwise would have been benched, even though Depay, Ayew, Sakho, Wilson and Aguero all failed miserably.

I mean I could sit here and sulk because I didn't bench Depay and get Targett's 7 points and have a 6 point further gain with my chip intact, but realistically that isn't what I would have done so I'm looking at a 9 point bonus from the All Out Attack chip in reality.

Ye that's the exact way to look at it. I'd be interested to hear from other people that played the chip so far but I think a 9 pt boost is nearly as good as you can hope for. People may think a dgw could be better but when you factor in the other chips you can use instead and maybe the pts hits getting ready for it and then restoring ur team set up. I don't think many will do better out of it.

Exact same, weird. Let's hope for a 40+ finish for us both.

Payet & Mahrez did the business, Sakho not much help, ended with 55pts, up to 143k OR.
What you finish on?

Mr.Prodston

37 points

1.3m

GW rank of 2.1m

I could never really imagine having anything close to 8 attacking players with 2 games in a DGW though so as you say I just used it when I thought the potential was there. I've 2 other chips that I want to use around DGWs.

Took Payet out for Ayew for a -4 hit.....why me?

Scorpion Sting

42 points ; I rose 117.5k places to 1.81 million. Mahrez being the saviour from what could have turned out to be a mini disaster.

Ziegler1988

Hahaha, only just noticed it was my first green arrow of the season from 1.44m to 1.3m

Potential Underachiever

63 Points, jumped from 104k to 30k. I'm happy as a pig in chardonnay!

did the same but in wildcard

Green arrows every week so far, GW3 WC Sagna and Kolarov double up still delivering. 56 points up from 674k to 358k.

FHFC

Sooo many red arrows. Everywhere except the FSA Premier where I'm up to second!

ElTel

51
Another green arrow and now just inside top 75k
Next week the fixtures pit a lot of my squad against each other so first dilemma will be picking a team with my head, not my heart.

AidySevenfold

All greens for me this week!

Managed 60 points - 56 with the 4 point hit.. won 2 outta 3 H2H's and won in the Finn Harps Cup so I guess not a bad week

Peoples opinions on Walcott. Will he play? Won't he? Is he worth a -4

Too much of a rotation risk for me.

Don't do it to yourself. You'd be fretting over the team sheet every week, not worth it.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

He was my first pick in the team I had before I wildcarded. A midfielder who plays up top and can score. He played all pre season up top too and on GW1 he was benched and hasn't seen a lot of game time since. I'd love if I could find a way for him to be in my team, I have the money there for him I just need to sacrifice either Payet or Ayew.

Oh god I'm convincing myself...stop me.

Avoid Theo unless Giroud gets injured. One of the first rules of FPL is to pick nailed on players

The question you're actually asking yourself is: do I enjoy THAT much Saturday morning headaches?

We don't know.

If was guaranteed to play then yes, but sadly he's not
Kinda like Giroud for up front, always good for a goal - but we've seen that he's going to be rotated with Walcott which isn't good for FF.

Green Arrows!

Yay:D
