    22 from KDB(c) + Foden. Not bad.

    Interesting to see how much Foden will be in the game next season. Would love him to be around 8 million.

    KDB and Auba tonight. Only in now and not enjoying this match at all. Hope Donegal has Sterling :)

    No sterling for me I was glad he never got motm. I suspect most where on Jesus rather then sterling

    That’s fine with looking forward to a big session. I need literally a good 2 months off after this to relax and stop stressing and get some sleep.

    Deosnt help waiting till 12 for leaderboard to update every night.

    Yea not looking forward to it , the 2 hour wait for the table to update will be tough.

    I'm 75th now with 6 players tonight. I'll be disappointed not to get a top 50 finish and beat Manual Man of course! Enjoyed the game anyway, I'll be back every year now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,695 ✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    What's the prize for first place... 50k is it? I just logged onto the App but can see the prize breakdown.

    Edit, just checked again

    1st place, 50k
    2nd place, 5k
    3rd place, 1 or 2k I think.

    Fair old drop between 1st and the other two.

    You have 7 left to play. I have 6. Really need Martial to score big tonight. I'm 143rd. 1 transfer left.

    Last day captains will be interesting. I imagine some of the chasing pack will pick a more left-wing choice. I'd be on Dilva I think if I had him. Otherwise I guess kdb will be the most popular choice. Sterling still very low ownership what with so many people out of transfers or just can't do it budget wise

    I think if Donegal maintains the gap tonight, the others behind him will look to cover themselves. Not sure if I was 2nd and was 20 behind the leader and a couple of points ahead of 4th I would be gambling.

    Highest place public team in 15th has Sterling.

    Gap from 2nd to 5th is only 5 points, and only 15 points from 2nd to 8th. I'd say a few hail marys will be thrown. 2nd gets £5k. 3rd £1k. 4th and 5th get a games console. Nothing after that.

    If I was 2nd I'd be going all out for the win, I definitely wouldn't be looking over my shoulder.

    A city captain is the safe option but looks like De Bruyne will be letting Silva or Sterling take penos. Its not impossible for Sterling to get 4 vs Norwich to get golden boot so he's the best option I think. Pity I don't have him :-(

    True if I’m 2nd/3rd going into Sunday I won’t be playing safe i will be going all out to win it.

    There aren't that many differentials to be fair. Realistically everyone will captain a City player on Sunday. All depends on whether people have transfers left to get more City players in. That's your differential.

    It's not a case of playing safe, it's a case of picking the captain that will give you the most points. There isn't any other way of playing it.

    Antonio at it again :)

    Should have captained him!

    Good match for me there with Greenwood as captain and Antonio. TAA, Van Dijk and Pulisic in this one.

    You're on a roll. Nearly everyone you've gotten in has done great for you since restart.

    Willian,TAA and Mane here. Thought Mane would have got an assist for the TAA goal.
