Gameweek 5 Matchday Thread

spock.

70 all out.

15 points more than I'd have scored if I hadn't wildcarded

Capoue on the bench for me again, but with doubts about Cazorla's pen duties, I think I'll start Capoue over him next week.

thewools

Well today was sh*te. 3 points from 3 players. Capoue 1st sub again.. my sudden rise to top 10k will be short lived i assume

stephenl15

Genuinely don't know what a good score is this week haha

jamesbere

Depending on bps for vertonghen 84 or 85, delighted. Wildcard payed off. Hopefully I'll rise up a bit more from yesterday

Looking through leagues, 50 or more should see green. 65 or more probably needed for any real gains

LightsStillOn

50 on the dot. With a whole lot of nothing going on in my team this week I'll take that and run. Drop to 89k and off the top spot in a few of my leagues but have the WC to play with

FHFC

56 all out with no transfers made since wildcard. Delighted with that considering the risk of going into this with no Spurs or Man City cover.

After a mega 79 last week and rising to 13k I'd have been happy to have held on to top 50 or 60k this week. Projected rank currently 29k.

Benimar

41 all out. 91 points in two weeks post WC, to say I'm disappointed with that is an understatement.

Have 2FTs to get Aguero in but have serious concerns about Cech, Masuaku, Hazard, Barkley, Ozil and Defoe.

I feel a hit (or two) coming.

Bleating Lamb

A poor GW .....38 pts:(

jamesbere

Well that's Walker off my Christmas card list sneaking ahead of Vertonghen in the bps

Shanotheslayer

70 With an expected 3BP for Capoue.

spock.

I'm obviously late to the party here but can anyone explain why Ibra got the assist?

If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.

Which clearly happened.

jamesbondings

Bonus points added on the app.

83 all in. Delighted with that. Wildcarded on Friday. Success

They are always quite liberal with the interpretation of "intended destination" and "significantly".

66 points. Not too shabby at all. My faith in Spacecraft has finally been repaid with a big haul. I think Capoue will have to be brought in despite me thinking that his goalscoring form can't continue. Hazard the most likely to make way. Or Redmond.

manual_man

ouch. a fall of almost 50k to 65k O.R. Still, not gonna complain tho, bad/average weeks are part of the package, and the one transfer i made was good - Lamela->Anto

ElTel

60pts gets me a rise of over 100k to 262k

Mr.Prodston

51 points in the end. Spacecraft's late rally salvaging what would have been an awful GW. Only fell to 183k

Some heroes don't wear capes :cool:

mcgettigan16

63 points sees me rise to 28k from 36k. Townsend, Payet & Lukaku the heroes. Wildcard activated.

Benimar

Ouch, my 41 points sees me drop 200k places

finnharpsboy

70 sees me up to 188k

Lukaku, Townsend, Zlatan, Costa and Sterling with 62 of those

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

72. Have to be happy with that considering the lukaku farce .

41 points as well
Down 23k pre wildcard to 156k
It happens me every single year
I need to stop using it gw4

siblers

76 sees me go from 600k to 200k. I was ranked 1,243,502 two gameweeks ago so pretty happy with how things are going.

COH

Did my GW transfer early this week as off on holidays:

70 points... no hits, up to 36k and have wildcard yet to play.

Logging in while drinking cocktails in Valencia makes the FF news even better.. now to get Kun in for Hazard!

jamesbere

Up to 24k. Let the good times roll

Ended up 23k.

Magic.

Xaniaj

14500 pre WC, 110k now... I don't think I made good use of it!!

DarraghF197

42 points. I'm just thinking thank f**k I didn't bench Capoue again else it would have been a proper nightmare!

Wildcard is calling!

Cartman78

63 all in...not a spectacular wildcard success but have to be happy with it. Up to 378k OR and green arrows in all my leagues.

Capoue finally coming off my bench with his haul thanks to the Eriksen no-show.

Benteke is already a concern...might go 3-5-2 next week with Aguerooooo and Lukaku.
