There was nothing to hope for unfortunately. 43 (-4) with Valencia & Aguero to go. Back up to 53k. Not sure what's left to be gained or lost tomorrow...Hmmm... So far it's a disaster. A total unecessary -4 (because of FHFC keeping the good info for himself
:pac:). De Roon denied a top corner goal before getting injured while Siggy is delivering the pts for the first time in ages. Captain Negredo going for a Lukaku DGW37 15/16 replica. It's all going well to feck up my season again.
But. DGWs are long, Especially this one, up to Thursday. So wait and see... And hope!
But without an incredible run of misfortune, I should still be in a position where I can still bother for the remaining GWs. In itself, it's a bit of a success
.
So. I did everything wrong but got my cheap enabler fantastically right. De Roon a true mythological hero. Denied a wonder goal in his first game before getting injured early and subbed. Watched Siggy getting a better than expected result for my squad on the bench. The guy fought his injury to be back fit tonight and like the phenix he rose as the (desperately needed) hero of my team. He alone has saved my GW from total chaos.
"Oh Marten De Roon, he's class, he's mint, he's cool, big ****ing Marten De Roon".
Just to finish on this. And hopefully be finally clearly understood. Maybe my mind is still too French despite all these years chatting in English :pac:.Scorpion Sting wrote: »Costa had 2 goals in 10 league games before last night and had failed to get any double-digit hauls at Stamford Bridge all season. For a 10m+ player that is poor form and those who shipped him ahead of the Southampton game were justified in doing so in my view.
I did not say otherwise. I just said that had I owned him, I'm not sure I'd have taken the -4 (that could very well turn into a -8 considering Chelsea DGW37 - I have no WC left) for either Negredo or Benteke.
And originally, I wrote my comment, as a reminder for DGW37, that a premium player with a decent single fixture can be better than a DGW punt (an average DGW player I think I said). We see that every season. And of course we can't guess who's gonna shine and who's gonna fail. But there are educated guesses for both double and single GW players in a DGW when you are unlikely to be able to get XI DGWers, which is my case for 37 and the case of many without a WC I'd suppose.
And I never talked about double figure expectations. For Costa or for anyone else. You know, Costa with just an assist would have outscored my own DGW punt (Negredo).
For the sake of the example, let's just say I did own Costa, kept him and he got a big fat 2 pointer the other night. I have no WC left. So -4 to ditch him. And -4 to ditch his replacement for GW36 or 37. With regards to Benteke, that's 4 pts lost. Though next GW (which is a good fixture) should be taken into account. So this -4 is a temporary figure so far. With regards to Negredo, that'd be 6 pts better.
Then, there's the captaincy. I had no clear idea. I was not rating Benteke enough. When in doubt, I generally go with the FFS poll. So Negredo. I think I'd have gotten him in whatever team I'd have owned. So even in my example, if not for Costa, for my 3rd attacker... Which is what I actually did in reality, replace Costa by Lukaku that I kept and did not go for Benteke thinking the former would fare better and the latter not as good. Got it wrong. C'est la vie. C'est comme ça
