Where are all these big scores coming from?? Ye can't all have Arnie surely?

Many have Mahrez, Payet and Vardy, who didn't do any real damage, so where are the points coming from??

I'm on 26 from 6. Vardy (c), Mahrez, Payet, Dawson, Woolscheid and Ighalo. Would have thought that was around average for non Arnie teams.

Had all 3!

Yes but you need to have at least 1 forward though. Hope it doesn't alter your auto-subs.

Nah have 3. Thank feck

You didn't really think it through, did you?

Luckily for you you can play with 5 defenders.
You should have checked it before the gameweek started, though.

Yep.... I didn't want to use my transfer chip at all... Was banking on Valencia starting... Dawson is 3rd sub! Was gonna take the hit for the transfer.... Just worked out better than expected

Broken nose is one of those injuries where they either play or are left out of the squad, no need to worry about a 2 minute cameo imo.

Hopefully I'm just imaging the worst situation, was so tempted to pick arnautovic but backed away after his non appearance in week 26, have 28 with smalling Monreal, alli and kane,

ElTel

43 with Toby Alli and Sanchez left.
Like a few around here bringing in Fuchs and Arnie worked a treat,
Still can't see the touch my captain got for his assist in the Leicester game but obviously delighted and should settle the foxes for their run of "easy" fixtures.

Lights On

Surprised how well 40 has done for me! 100k or so rise into 300k and jumped a nice few places in my main league. Hopefully will keep the green going tomorrow, but with just Sanchez, Alli & Toby I'm not holding my breath

Fuchs (9), Daniels (8), Vardy c (10), Antonio (11), Payet (3), Mahrez (3), Courtios (2).

26 points from 5. No BPs
Boruc 6
Cresswell 6
Payet 3
Mahrez 3×2=6 (C)
Vardy 5
Pretty crap.


Still though, the Leicester win means I am still in my Last Man Standing contest after 6 weeks.
Over 770+ at the start down to 11 before this gameweek.

Sweet! who will you pick next week? How much was entry and how much for the win!?

It was €10 entry with a prize of €750. Its a fundraising for a soccer team and apparently the entries they only got barely over 100 entries last year so the prize was set to €750.
Its a very nice prize but the satisfaction of being the last one standing would be very sweet.

My options for the next games are in bold:

01 Mar 19:45 Aston Villa v Everton

01 Mar 19:45 Bournemouth v Southampton

01 Mar 19:45 Leicester v West Brom

01 Mar 19:45 Norwich v Chelsea

01 Mar 19:45 Sunderland v Crystal Palace

02 Mar 19:45 Arsenal v Swansea

02 Mar 19:45 Stoke v Newcastle

02 Mar 19:45 West Ham v Spurs

02 Mar 20:00 Liverpool v Man City

02 Mar 20:00 Man Utd v Watford


Going between Everton and Man Utd at the moment but leaning toward Everton at the moment.

There has only been six gameweeks (including this one). Most people got knowcked out gameweek 23 - Everton lost to Swansea and Man City drew with West Ham. I picked Liverpool that week and were lucky that they got the winner on the 94th minute.

spock.

Up from 66k to 27k with 51.
4 to play so hopefully I don't drop too much tomorrow.

That Delaney assist is one of the poxiest assists you'll ever get.

Mr.Prodston

My 49 sees me rise about 260k to 550k. If Arsenal and Spurs concede while Ozil and Sanchez stay quiet it might be a big week in my push for 100k :pac:

What season eh!

Not seen it but surely can't be much worse than Vardys!

jimmii

My best OR since GW14 hopefully this is where the tide turns!

Headered it from inside his own half, Ollson totally misjudged the bounce it and it fell to Bamford who finished it brilliantly.

SteelyDanJalapeno

Gwan rank of 1903! Think that's my highest ever!

siblers

Dunno how but I've actually risen with a score of 29 up to 267, have 3 left to play and 4 off the bench from Delaney to come. Need Alli and Sanchez to stay quiet tomorrow and for Arsenal to concede as well!

iroced

My 31 bring me just shy of top 100k. With 4 attackers left to go hopefully including Kane to play, there's hope to break into it. But, it's been a loooooong time since I had a satisfying sunday...

As I said a while ago and today's game did not prove me wrong, Leicester may find this run harder than playing the premium sides. It is often tougher to break a team battling into the relegation dogfight that parks the bus and exploits counter-attacks than a team that plays an attacking style and leaves quite some space between their lines.

But, this kind of win is a huge confidence and momentum boost. And it's true, on paper, their run looks fantastic.

Yeh those ones are annoying like when someone gets an assist for tapping it backwards in their own half and then the scorer goes on a crazy run and scores hardly seems right!

Congrats!

42 moves me up 5k to 5,450 overall and to the top of the Boards pay league! Sanchez, Ozil, Kane & Alder to go

Potential Underachiever

32 from 6 sees a 2k rise to 7k.

Kane, Alli, Alder, Ozil, Alexis still to come, big couple of hours tomorrow!

Alexis I feel owes me some points, he's cost me a few to get him in with no returns whatsoever, it's time now!

That's you!

Well played. I'm in 3rd, for now.

Up 3k to 10k with Toby, Alli, Kane, Sanchez and Ozil to play.

19 pts with 4 left to play and drop to 190k...let's forget this week, shall we?

Arnie dropped in price this week which surprised me considering his fixtures and GW 30 match.

He was quite popular in here though when I was looking through peoples transfers.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist:D

What was your plan for this gameweek, again???

2nd Row Donkey

Going to be a lot of disappointed people in here if Sanchez blanks again tomorrow (today)

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

My 29 points yesterday see me top all three of my money leagues. The guy who was in 1st place wildcarded and only got 17 points with three to play. Delighted!!

I had 2 non starters. Had ozil and Huth coming off the bench on purpose.... Dawson was 75% to play as was Valencia.... I thought Valencia would have played. He didn't. Luck came into it that Valencia didn't play and Dawson got a good score! The game plan didn't include Dawson (apart from the off chance that Valencia didn't play and Dawson did) that was a risk I was willing to take to hold onto my transfer.

Xaniaj

40 points sees me rise almost 200k but I somehow drop one spot in my work league. 4 to go.
