Gameweek 38 Matchday Thread

ScummyMan

This is it folks, the final furlong.

Personally my most testing season in all my years of FPL, but as usual this forum was a big reason for me to continue to plug away.

We've got something good going here, and I can say with relative confidence that this is one of the best groups of strangers you'll find anywhere. (except when people post Matchday threads early on Friday evenings :mad: :pac:)

Best of luck all for the final day of madness, its been a pleasure!

Ninthlife

Maybe next year I'll get a consistent run of decent points

Thanks to all here for yhe hints n tips.Its great to have a bad week then come on here and see you outscored others.

Good luck today

I am still no closer to deciding what to do!!!!!

eh i dunno

I don't care at this stage

km79

So many marginal calls this week
Do I take a hit or go with double wolves......if so which two......or single ....if so Jota or Jimmy.......
Keeper......which one will not get zero points.....the annoying Dubravka away to Fulham(I may have one of their attackers) or Ryan at home to sterling and aguero
Captain......Salah, Aguero,Sterling or my signing.........
If i get half of these decisions right I will be fine. If not.........

I am currently 12.3k and would like to finish in top 1ok. A lot of rivals have taken a minus 4 so in that regard I am free to take one. On the other handI could take the 4 point headstart and play both Jota and Jiminez. If Robertson misses out I will end up with Doherty as well. Wolves are gonna come to play though.....I am actually more fearful of dropping/selling the guy who scores. Cos I think they will. At least once.....

FWIW, I'd have no problem playing both Jota and Jiminez. It should be quite an open game. If only playing one, then I'd probably go with Jota as he's the guy that has more form, but yeah, it's virtually guaranteed that whichever one you leave on the bench will be the one to score!

Wilberto

I've decided to put my faith in Huddersfield's ineptitude.

Final day team..

Ederson
TAA Luiz VVD
Babel Hazard JWP Mane B Silva
Kun(c) Vardy

Hope it’s a goalfest today. GL all!!

ShagNastii

Yeah I think people are fishing for where they’ll find CSs. This week, more than most, I think will be goals galore.

ScummyMan

Allison
Robbo Laporte Doherty
Mane Sterling Redmond Fraser
Aguero Zaha(c) Rashford

18 points behind in my ML, Zaha captain if I can hold my nerve

In the same boat re: Jota and Jiminez and I've been going to and fro between selling both of them or starting both of them! Have a feeling they will score too, think I might just play them both and avoid the hit. Planned transfer had been Doherty to TAA but am 0.1 short now so maybe that's a sign!

But there will be a couple of nil nils where nobody breaks out of a trot

Wilberto

Foster (Lol!)

Robbo | Laporte | TAA

Salah (C) | Sterling (VC) | Redmond | JWP

Auba | Jiminez | Aguero

Subs : Ryan | Bednarek | Elliot | Duffy


Come on you Saints! I'm still tempted to captain Redmond!

SlickRic

Took my second -4 of the season for a bit of a last day flutter.

I'd Son, Firmino, Boly, Camarasa and Duffy, so it should hopefully be a safe enough -4 to outscore what they'd provide.

Son ----> Sterling
Firmino ----> Mitrovic

Lloris
TAA Laporte Valery
Sterling Mane Hazard Tielemans
Aguero Jimenez Mitrovic

Foster Camarasa Duffy Boly

Better players than me have had very difficult seasons, and I'm fortunate to be in the position I'm in at 34 OR.

I'm aware that my updates may sometimes look like gloating, but the info and opinion this place provides for me to process has been a huge reason for my good performance. It's a great place.

Thanks to you all, and good luck for this final GW.

Jimi and Moutinho out. Wood and Fraser in. For a hit

Fancy them both to score well. Liverpool will play like they've done all season. Win to nil most likely, though understand why people might hold Wolves players.

Foster
TAA Laporte Digne
Salah(c) Sterling Fraser JWP
Aguero Vardy Wood

Ryan Bednarek Duffy Elliott

Not much to play for for me. 70 points ahead in main league. Well short of last season's finish. Chance maybe to break 20k.

Good luck to all who have something bigger to play for.

Let’s finish with a flurry on the forum

Chesty08

Foster

Robertson Shaw Bednarek (Digne, Montoya)

Salah Mane Sterling Delefeou (Son)

Lacazette Wilson Long.

—————-

Still haven’t decided. If Shaw doesn’t play then Digne comes. I’m ok with that. However if Robertson doesn’t come in then I’ll be fielding 10.

Son is suspended. So if an attacker doesn’t feature then it could be 9. Not confident on Lacazette or Long starting.

Do I do Vardy for Lacazette. Do I do Son to any midfielder & bench Long?

Do I hit & take out Son & Shaw?

Do I take out Shaw for Kompany & then Digne covers if an attacker doesn’t play.

Just feels at this stage, anything I do will be wrong

Sell son
You know 100% he won’t play
The rest is luck/guesswork
Digne is an excellent option today
I’d be starting him either way

Got Rondon in as a punt as he has been one of the few bright sparks in a Shiite season, despite that I’ve enjoyed the banter here.
Now who to leave out?
Redmond benched at the moment.
Mane,Sterling, Gerry D, Hazard,
Aguero,Rondon,Wilson.

(-4) Redmond in for Brooks, Long in for Jimenez. Captain between Aguero, Sterling and Redmond not sure yet.

c.p.w.g.w

30 points clear and took 8 point hit to swap Robertson and Camarasa out for TAA & Doicorue in. Bench boost activated too, unsure if I will captain sterling or mane, leaning towards sterling

Amazing well played. And from someone like myself who takes a lot of hits this is food for thought for next year. All the best

Lucky indeed!!!!

Yep, Wolves could be the decider for me, with one point to make up.

COH

-4 taken

Foster
Robertson - Laporte - TAA
Mane - Sterling - Fraser - Delefeau - JWP
Vardy - Aguero (TC)

[Ryan - Llorente - Valery - Dunk]

31 points behind main rival who had no city players so hoping for some end of season heroics from Kun. Took a -4 to get TAA in and benched Valery so also hoping Southampton concede now.

Best of luck all
