Gameweek 18 Matchday Thread

Marje

37 points which is nearly half of what I got the last three weeks... have two transfers to use.

billymitchell

81 points, might break top 200k. Expectations are low this year

Mike Ehrmantraut

42 Pts, bad week to get the captaincy wrong, and defensively had a nightmare again.

Mr.Prodston

65 (-4)

A slice of luck that Sergio didn't come on with Kane as vice. Although I did take a -4 and had 3 points sub in rather than 6 or 9 so swings and roundabouts.

Ben Davies' 11 point haul is as sweet as they come. 43 of my points coming from Spurs today.

I'm inside 1 million at 963k and feeling much more positive for the 2nd half of the season. For now anyway, I still have plenty issues to deal with.

Good thing I did bench Deulofeu, otherwise you guys would have seen my angry face again! In fairness, I can see why that assist wasn't given. The second incident his assist was ruled 'no assist' was an absolute joke, however. An absolute disgrace of an assist for Gareth Barry. The first one should have been an assist in my eyes as well.

That still didn't mean I had a good GW. It was pretty terrible, in fact. Once again I have no luck with my defenders. It wasn't as bad as last week but I had Bertrand and McAuley, selling Moreno for Kompany who of course had to get injured after five minutes of coming on. Ramsey captain didn't work out (again). 41 points.

wonski

50 points.

Free transfers.

Next gameweek is around the corner.

Scorpion Sting

65 points sees me up 171k places to 490k. I'm happy with this of course but I had the captaincy on KDB all week and only took it off him last night for Coutinho thinking he'd score as he became a father a few days before. Oh well, can't do anything about that now and looking forward to climbing up the rankings if I stick to the tried and trusted and not make any rash transfers.

siblers

Finished on 76, sickened over the injustice to Delofyeu, top 1500 in the world, top 100 in Ireland.

Irish_rat

I'm horribly ranked this season. Taking too many his every week. Went from 1.9m to 1.6 after that. 77 points. Rangel coming in for 9 was a nice surprise.

Christmas period could see big climbs hopefully

71 points... Captain Kane, KDB, Wollscheid, Ighalo and Alli did the scoring. Alli in turned out to be a nice transfer, caught the highlights there on MOTD and he could easily have scored 15+ points today.

Moreno on the bench while Bellerin and Dawson got the start is frustrating. Passed the 1,000 point marker and what should be a green arrow, which is always the GW aim.

Turns out that 71 was good enough for a GW rank of 173k. Pleasantly surprised with that, and it's my second best GW of the season after GW 8. That all translates to a 90k rise up to 95k in the OR. Happy days, it's just a pity I don't have longer to bask in the glory of a successful GW!

Lemlin

Up from 105k to 72k. Happy with that.

Iused2likebusts

57 brought me up from 68k to 53k however I dropped in all of my pay leagues.

km79

59 saw me make a nice leap of 50k to 120k
shows the importance of captaincy
this weeks one is tricky

Torricelli

71 takes me to 21k from 50k. Captain Kane doing most of the damage and a nice stroke of luck which saw Ward come in for Zouma. Bertrand 3rd sub with 9 is a little annoying.

Hangover eased somewhat.

60 points for me. My 11 point beauty was Glenn Johnson. I'm right behind you at 978k.

Time to start humming The Great Escape comrade.

Gary Gurny

Jesus Christ..just here in bed after a heavy night on the sauce. Southampton beat Arsenal 4-0?? Wtf?! The crazy season continues!

Necronomicon

63 points brings me back up to 37k from 62k, happy with that jump (even if I can't shake the annoyance of leaving 14 points on the bench).

dahat

794k to 833k after a score of 73 with a - 28to take off, pretty decent result imo.

In much better shape now imo plus I have Aguero in so hopefully I can climb through the ranks with a big eye on the Harps CL.

spock.

58 gives me a rise of 26k to 83k
First green arrow in 9 weeks. I've a lot of underperforming players to get rid of though starting with Eriksen.

Swiper the fox

I was .1 short for Luk to Kun so I did Kane to Kun instead. Would have had Harry as VC so the point loss is fairly huge from that transfer.
53 for the week.

dahat

794k to 833k after a score of 73 (-28). Cracking result.

Squad looks better now imo and with Aguero in he will hopefully start to fire. I just need Vardy to slow down and looking at a few numbers this morning that seems to be the case.

Harps CL and my main cash league are my main focus from here on in.

Southampton were kinda due a big score - they had some obscene figures for shots on goal over the last few games. Still didn't stop me playing Bellerin and selling Bertrand of course.

menoscemo

It's a weird season. I thought last week's 61 was a decent score but I dropped from 82k to 136k. This week I knew 70 was good but didn't think it was anything special, yet I have risen from 136k to a season high of 69k. I guess Kane (c) KDB and Butland were differentials and Moreno coming in for Bolassie was a bonus.
2 FTs now and considering shifting Vardy as well as the injured Bolassie.

A huge amount of the top 100k have ighalo over kane and also a lot of them have barkley and not kdb would be my guess. I went up in the overall rankings despite a 57 yet dropped in most paid leagues. Someone that has access to the figures on ownership % might check this.

x43r0

74 after massive stroke of luck with KDB and Moreno coming off the bench for me

Up from 88k to 36k with that

iroced

66 sees me climb more than 100k in the OR up to 203k (from 312k). .

Yeah I haven't checked for this GW but did it for last and that sounds about right. FPLdiscovery.com for anyone that want the full detail .

Potential Underachiever

73 points for the week, nice move from 8k odd to 2k odd, that'll do for me.

Alli is fast becoming as vital as Mahrez or Ozil. Anyone without him is mad. Especially at the price.

You can't be serious. As vital as Mahrez or Ozil??

Relative to price, he's not far off.
