Matchday GW6 - AKA, Return of the Kun

I probably will captain him but last time round they kept home clean sheets against spurs, city,utd. Conceded 1 goal against arsenal and Liverpool. Only Chelsea of the so called big teams scored more than 1 when they won 3 1 first game of the season. So the big question is why do I not have Burnley defensive coverage.

This indeed is a great mystery....

Depending on the Polls I could be forced into it myself but its a fixture that doesn't inspire confidence.

Doesn't bother look good for the incoming rush on Sanchez (c) this coming Gameweek.

Granted Watford were bad but I was impressed with Burnley.
Suddenly Lu(C)aku is tempting.
55pts, Only Sanchez and Aguerro with returns.
Green arrow and now around 180k.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

A very disappointing 5 points from 3 tonight. Top of my main money and 4th in another one.

Sooner or Later

62 (-4). Green arrows.
Taking a hit to bring in that Aguero chap proved worthwhile

Slow handclap for my defense. Holebas zero points from 90 mins, baines and lovern don't feature. Amat and friend sub in with zero points from 90 mins each as well.

Pickford in goal a hero in comparison with his solitary point.

Almost the same here.

Baines & Lovren not featuring have Amat & Holebas combined 0 pt to sub in. Only McAuley & Foster got something (2 pts each).
And of course Rashford sits with 6 on the bench. First shiny place. Rotation fail again :rolleyes:... If only I'd known this feckin' Pool twitter lineup page earlier, I'd have gone for AOA!

I can't believe how much rotten luck I'm getting at this game from my second late WC last season... The only good fortune I had is when I couldn't make my changes on time. Is the game telling me something :pac: :rolleyes:?

Form over fixtures no longer true by the way. Luck over form & fixtures. That's more like it :rolleyes:...

The new RoryC?

In fairness I was amazed you benched Rashford for Capoue. Only saw it just after deadline or I'd have insisted you switch it!

That's insulting!

I don't remember much self-mockery (which is what most of my post is about) from RoryC.

But I dare say that I don't carry luck by my side from my second WC last year.

We were not 100% sure he'd start. As I said several times I'm not bitter about that. I got him in 1 week earlier because he was close to a rise. I took a gamble that paid off since he should start home to Stoke now.

It's the irony of the situation that's raging. Brought in 2 premium def with tasty fixtures. Both got injured "after the deadline" and my 2 auto-subs got 0 (I just needed 1 pt from my extra player (Holebas) for a FSA Prem' much needed win). I guess when I'll play AOA I'll have 2 CS on the bench :pac:.

Ah well... In France we say lucky at the games, unlucky with love and vice versa. So I take my FPL misfortune as a very good sign .


Just about Capoue. Last GW I gained 8 pts by playing him. This week I only lose 4. So it's not too bad. Next week is gonna be the real tough decision.

FHFC

@ iroced. No insult intended. I'm teasing.

I think most people were in a very similar boat re defenders though. My 5 defs totalled 3pts, with 2 not starting. My GK got 2.

Re Rashford my gut would have been more than 90% certain he was going to start after Rooney played in the midweek 'reserve' game, plus Mourinhos comments later in week. Thats why if I'd seen you were benching him I have urged you not to.

Only messing iroced. But this did scream "Hitler rant potential"

SlickRic

Up to 45k with my 66.

Have to be happy.

Potentially afraid of Ibra next week though.

mcgettigan16

45 points and a fall from 28k to 52k. Aguero (c) and Sterling the only players to score more than two points.

Yeah, that's why I added the other sentence, laughing at myself. I may not have chosen the right words though .


Anyway. 58 pts. Up to 270k from 445k. But a so-so WC so far. Happy with my front 8. Doubts & questions on every single player of my back 7...

I'm well out of the loop these days under my new status as a Saturday morning casual. What is the twitter feed for early liverpool lineups?

Scorpion Sting

57 (-4)

I fell 30k places from yesterday with just Capoue playing tonight but rose 136k places for the gameweek to 502k. Aguero (c), Ozil and a last-gasp goal from Benteke the only highlights which show the frailties in my team. I did have Heaton's 7 points on the bench. I feel that the weekly goalkeeping selection headache will cost me more points than I gain as I so often get the decision wrong. All 15 players played 90 minutes which was nice to see.

sword1

Before last week finished i had a wildcard team picked but got distracted and never picked it. 76 brings me from 2 million to 800k .Back in the game and hopefully the wildcard will help in the future but it would have cost me this week

dublinhead

81pts points and up to 13000 after wildcard. Wish I had one every week! Smith came in for baines off bench with 6.

Necronomicon

I can honestly say that was the first GW I've been happy with this season.

68(-4) leaving me at 270k.

Swiper the fox

66 this week and 660 in the world has a nice symmetry ??? to it.
Green arrows everywhere, top of my money leagues, except for the only one I cared about where I lost out on the premier league Jersey from Wexford Youths.

you are the devil
almost
back up to 76k with 66(-4) and one !Ain rule reinforced for me
get a video when fit. always. don't wait . ever.
happy I wasn't silly

Shedite27

Post wildcard, 54 points.

Jumps me 271 places to 11k

Cartman78

73 sees me jump from 374k up to 93k :D:D:D

Delighted with that obviously - made decent inroads on all my mini-leagues so hopefully I can keep it going now after a steady, slow,meh, mediocre start

Thepoet85

67 takes me to 44k OR. Delighted with the start this year compared to last.

COH

48 points post WC and a drop from 29k to 43k

Main culprits are Firmino, Payet, Deeney & Lukaku blanks. On paper actually quite happy with the team for this coming GW only real concern is no Sanchez but may take some hits to rectify matters

They had the correct lineup for Saturday game on Friday .

Iused2likebusts

65(-4) at 320k

dr.kenneth noisewater

56 points to move up 120k to 266K. Kun and Sanchez with 40 of it

Cantona's Collars

75k after a solid 56 points.The nightmare start of last season is a fading memory.

dsmythy

Up to 195k after Lowton's 6 and Capoue with 2. 58 points in the end.

entropi

59 for the week brings me to 22k overall. Lukaku and Capoue blanking didn't help things but sure in the 5 years I've been playing, its the best position I've ever been in.
