Wow :eek:. 20k drop down to 244k. And I thought I was average with 46 :rolleyes:...

Not the first time it happens this season. I don't know who the hell I'm missing to go down with my score and my OR ?!

There was only 1 CS today. So everyone must have a Spurs def then (and Alli on the pitch of course)? With Lukaku (C) I thought I was OK. Everyone must lie in the (C) poll and go Mahrez while voting Lukaku .

I mean the most owned player in the GW Dream Team so far (outside Mahrez, the only one I currently own) is Ivanovic with 7.3%, then Lloris with 6.2% and then all below or just around 5% (5 of them being below 1%). So all these tiny per cents must be inside top 220k !

More seriously I genuinely don't understand what (or shall I say who) I'm missing. And since it's not the first time I feel this this season, this must explain my so so form so far...

I feel the same. I don't know what's wrong with my team that I keep having below average weekends. Lukaku has really hurt, but other than that, I feel like I've as good a team as anyone else.

All Teams are very similar. Barkley outscoring your 4th midfielder, the captaincy and a spurs clean sheet. Nearly everyone has vardez lukaku and ozil. Kdb and kane have big ownership also.This was why I was arguing you had a good week last week as it's very hard to make gains with the way most teams are at the moment.The game is in a very boring stage at the moment bar Ramsey my team is very template.

Yeah margins are very very narrow. Mid way through the second half yesterday i was 12 or more pts ahead of the prevailing average and heading for a 150 to 170k rise in the rankings. Barkley and Mahrez (c) returns plus the evaporation of a few bonus and I ended up about 4 ahead of top 10k average and rising 40k.

Did not realise Barkley was that largely owned (over 40%!!!). Combined with Alder that I did not think this high too (over 30%) these 2 are responsible alone for my drop. Cause all the other Spurs def are not as much owned as we'd think (less or equal (Dier) than 10%).

So, in light of this, I need Watford to score and Ighalo not to be involved today .

Ake goal.

Good of Liverpool to give up the clean sheet early so as not to get my hopes up.

Referee

Bogdan had problems with catching the ball, so not sure if there will be assist at all.

Benimar

FFS.

In the last 5 weeks I've got TWO clean sheets from 21 keepers/defenders played!

Worse still is no Ighalo involvement.

Dempsey

Ighalo, what a player

For the third week in a row my three strikers have a return - delighted

Up to 70 odd points now with Ozil to play

I ****ing hate Ighalo.

stephenl15

Ighalo. Every. Bloody. Week. :P Moreno over Alder also proved to be a bad bad choice a few weeks back

CSF

Deeney down for 2 assists on the site. That is a mistake right? The first one wasn't him I'm almost sure of it.

Never mind, they've fixed it already.

If you hate a player in FPL, it means you dont have the balls to transfer them in when you should

I started off with cheap defence for majority of season, i then decided to "upgrade" when i played the WC, i would have been better doing nothing - the likes of Nyom, cook and Butland got 50 points between them over last 2 GW's, my choices got 10. (i think i would be close to 75 points better off over last 2 GW's overall). Needless to say i'm losing a little interest - didn't really help this week when i didn't get a chance to change my team.

Although Ighalo has been firing goals and that, i don't really mind not having him, as my other strikers are scoring regularly,

Mixed feelings as a Liverpool fan....have Ighalo alright and luckily decided to bench Clyne in favour of Nyom

I don't want to drop one of Vardy, Lukaku and Kane, that has been my problem.

This doesn't make any sense. Why would people be afraid of bringing in Ighalo? How do balls come into this in any way?

Owen_S

Ighalo has been my transfer of the season, remarkably consistent. If only there was room for Deeney...

I dropped Kane, it was an easy decision

3rd best striker in the game should be a no brainer. People only hate because they dont have a player they should have. Simple, no?

Kane's returns are terrible in comparison to Ighalo.
The front three is a very easy decision
Lukaku Vardy Ighalo

The problem is there is a multitude of good strikers out there at the moment. I like many have Vardy Lukaku and Kane, all three retuned for me yesterday so don't have a problem with Igalho also scoring.
