Awww lads. That was such a shocking gameweek for me. I have been putting off reading back the thread and seeing all the ton up scores. Well done all, especially Prodston who just passed me out.
Whats making it so much worse is that I held back from my original 3 transfers for -8 plan. I (very uncharacteristically) got a dose of cold feet over taking hits when I had decent options to play (Sanchez and Rose/Bellerin). That 3 transfer plan as the transfer thread will testify was Kone, Hazard and Carroll in. In the end I just did Carroll with my FT. If I'd gone with it, even if I'd ended up benching Sanchez I'd be 17 points up.
As it is my 69 sees me drop to around 27k, not terrible, but everyone in my pay leagues seem to own Hazard and have Payet TC. And crucially in the only league i looked like winning my 31 point lead has turned into a 1 point deficit going into the last GW!
But what probably annoys me more is that i was (in hindsight) very silly not to captain Payet. Highly owned in my leagues and likely to be default TC for many (incl the guy.I now trail by a point) I tried for glory in leagues I'm chasing instead of closing out the main purse.
2 decisions. 2 close decisions. And again, a wrong call costs implausibly dearly. 26 points in total and God knows how many €€s.
Glum is the overriding feeling. Will be glad when its over on Sunday (while perversely looking forward to next season). 0 -
This game is so frustrating at times. I went to bed fuming on tuesday night and then 24 hours later the sunderland wonder show and things are great again.Awww lads.

I've come crawling back because no one in real life really cares about my FPL team and I actually have some good news.
So this season has (well, now had, I think!) been an unmitigated disaster for me for long stretches. I had a plan in mind for GW34 to put the TC on Sanchez and then bench boost for GW37 with a target of a 50k finish and it has paid off massively.
I hit 159 (-12) in GW34 which could have been even better as Alli was sitting on my bench. Then for GW37 I brought in Mannone, van Aanholt, Firmino, Defoe and Creswell for a -12. End up on 130 (-12) with Cresswell the only one that didn't pay off. Bench boost gave me an extra 23 points thanks mainly to Mignolet and Sanchez. If I hadn't made the transfers I would have lost out on so many points.
I went from 26k in GW9 to 10 red arrows between GW9-21 where I was 440k overall and completely shot. However, from GW22-GW37 I have had 12 green arrows to take me to just outside the top 20k. :eek: I've gone from 150k pre GW34 to that 20k ranking now.
I have to say I've learned a big lesson this season and that's patience. There was plenty of people telling me to keep the faith and to keep plugging away but I wasn't having any of it. For example, I was fully convinced that Aguero's TC score against Newcastle would not be beaten at all. I recall Lemlin especially telling me that his best ever season had him really struggling with a 6 figure ranking at Christmas time, but I never thought it would be possible for me to make such a big leap. It really is a marathon and that's something I'll be keeping in mind from now on.
By the way, apologies for being a bit of a pain in the arse on this forum this season. I was reading back over some of my posts from weeks gone by especially most recently and they are very poor.
Anyway, how about Sunderland! 0 -
