Same as. Down from 101k to 134k.

Not really all that happy.

Arsenal Clean sheets and Ayew goal has to be the cause of the wjolly unexpected drop from yesterday's high.

40th in Ireland, 706 overall. Not sure if that will change now or what but all things considered, I'm happy enough with that. Gonna have to do my wildcard for the next GW. I don't have any of the holy trinity in my team, so gotta make a good few changes.

Lots of autosubs to the likes of Ayew and vcs Aguero and Sanchez too.

101 all in. Up from ~240k to ~42k and green arrows in all of my leagues. Very happy.

Double transfer for my first points hit of the season (-4) taken. I know it brings a risk with the internationals but I'd have been murdered on price rises/drops without doing it now so I think that outweighs waiting. The transfer was Pedro -> Mata and Gomis -> Pelle. United go on a nice little run in 2 GW's time and Mata is their main man in an attacking sense, while Gomis should have been offloaded a couple of weeks ago really and Southampton have a cracking run coming up with Pelle heavily involved for them lately. I'll sort out my defence (probably for another -4) next gameweek.

Hoping to step away from the game now and take a week off, but I'm very happy with things after 8 GW's.

OneColdHand

91 points. Sees me go from over 2 million to inside 1 million.

I should be pretty happy with that, but after seeing some of the scores on here I can't help but feel it's not brilliant. I also feel Agueros score has papered over some cracks. Take out Aguero and Ozil, and I had 28 points from 9 players: not brilliant. There's a number of players I don't have that I feel I need (Sanchez, KDB, Vardy) and a number that I have that I feel I shouldn't be getting rid of (Hazard, Bego, my whole defence, Martial, Sahko).

Having said that, I've see a rise in ranking of over 1,000,000 places, so I'm not going to complain.

Just seeing the lad who got highest score this game week jumped from 1.5m position to inside the top 15k. Some rise in one week.

You must have been looking at it before it updated, highest score this GW was 164, guy went from 200k to 800

he took -12 this week too,

He's got a solid front 7 that I can imagine are season keepers too

Nope not on the Boards leagues unfortunatley. Next year I will join, I used my all out attack but when I used it I ended up with a 3-5-2 due to injuries. Can't wait for the triple captain one:D

Mr.Prodston

93 points. No Sanchez killed me today and despite Ayew scoring I fell 150k to 450k.

Still Aguero propelled me about 900k so I'll try not to grumble.

I haven't hit the WC yet despite my post in the transfer thread. Sanchez's niggle plus Liverpool and Sunderland's new managers among other things made me wary.

I do see the merits of the strong front 8 strategy but I just never like the lookof the team. My main dislike is its inflexibility in that with the budget spread around it's hard to accommodate the big hitter who suddenly hits form.

Look at it another way, if you'd had the budget you may well have fitted in KDB this week.

I had a rotten run which has tested my squad abnormally and has been more than my fts can keep up with. First the Gomez era ended, then Wilson, Yaya injured, Mahrez inexplicably dropped and Naughton dissappears for 'personal reasons'. It won't always be like that, and usually a defender subbing in with 2 points or maybe more is fine by me. Meanwhile 6m forwards won't cut it forever either.

When I want a better striker( probably martial) I plan to move to a bench player. I just think there is too many cheap players performing at the moment and Im not happy with having to play all of them every week. There is also always loads or rotation/injuries around european games so its handy to have the option of subbing in a decent attacker if someone misses out or to not feel the need to take a hit if there is an injury.
On KDB I couldve done pedro to him but I honestly didnt expect city to run riot due to them being down to the bare bones and having had a tough game on wednesday night. How wrong I was.

Just saw your team, quite an achievement to get there without Kun Alexis or KDB

106 pts had a great day today with walcott, ayew and sanchez. Finish at 52k overall .
Well done to all in here some unbelievable scores.

the incredible pudding

116 points and a nice jump of 350,000 places to to 40,327. Considering I was at 2,895,384 after gameweek two, I'd have to say I'm very, very happy with how the games this weekend went.

PARlance

2 points from 3 today sees me plummet from 392k to 715k... but still a nice jump from 1.5M.

Just pulled the trigger on hopefully my last hit for a while. Had to do so before rises tonight.
Couldn't be much happier with my front 8 now though. Watch me rip it apart over the coming GWs....

Sanchez, DeBruyne, Payet, Mane, Mahrez
Aguero, Vardy, Igahlo

Invincible

115 pts, up to 30.6k, season high :-)

C'mon the Renegades!!

Similar!

will be 3-4-3 most weeks,

Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mane, Surman
Kun, Martial, Ighalo

Ziegler1988

Up from 1.58m to 294k, has to be my best week in FPL. Hopefully this spurs me on to another Quarter 2 run like last season. Hands up, I'll admit I was wrong about Sanchez. He's looked back to his clinical, marauding best these last two GWs and I'm just happy to be able to fit him, KDB, and Aguero in with a strong front 8 and good defence. Bellerin is a joy to own, there are double digits to come out of this lad

GLaDOS

Despite a decent improvement in my GW score from yesterday, I actually fell slightly. Still, moved from 600k to 109k so a good week anyway.

What a team -

I have 7 of those with Ayew instead of Mane. Both have good fixtures although I would prefer Mane.

According to FFFIX only 1% of players own Aguero, DeBruyne and Sanchez. All of them regulars on this forum apparently.

Yeah posted before the update. The other lad was last night's GW rank leader.
