All McBain's transfers were done on the 3rd - including buying and selling Vardy - his team also has Hamez 2nd sub and DCL as 3rd Sub - then again maybe he feels strongly that they won't out return his other players - strange.

Must have forgot to wildcard?

He has already wildcarded

Same as last season lads, I'm a player who enjoyed a good squad turnover and transfer hits! I was very unhappy with my squad and was looking to take it a different direction.

Captain VVD was a wee punt, Pickford put me back into my box on that one (btw how that wasn't given as a red card for the foul on VVD is nothing short as astounding).

Anyways, it's the quickest week that anyone has been eliminated in this lms, 45 mins into 1 match of the gw lol.

Thanks for running lads, it's a great competition. Will keep an eye on this to see how it goes for rest of the season.

Thanks for taking one for the team McBain.

We need more heroes like you

Jayus McBain, a -24! :eek:

And there I was worried that the -8 I took was excessive. If I had known that - I would have done another -4 to get KDB out!

That VVD captaincy both brave and unlucky.

kilburn

Safe with my -8 So

Islander13

Why couldnt this gamble have been done in a week I was struggling!

Crazy to think that you go into Monday's games with a fighting chance of staying up - your best chance from what i can see is

Jimenez and Kilch outscoring Bamford (c) + 9 points

That’s me with bamford (c) !! I will also have 2points coming in for vardy no show.

The villa goal took away two clean sheets, vardy no show gives me a massive 2points from st. Maximin .... started so well with DCL, Rodriquez and salah all getting points, after that it’s been watching EVERYONE else gain points.

If he does survive it will be well deserved, fantastic to take a -24 and survive the game week, balls of steel.

normanoffside

It's a 3 horse race I think but McBain is an underdog

McBain 27 pts with Klich and Jimi to pay
Fr Hernandez 29pts with Johnstone, Costa, Podence and Jimi to play
Irishphhotodesk 36 Pts with Bamford (C) to play

So McBain needs Klich to outscore Johnstone, Costa and Podence (combined) by 2 or for Bamford to blank and Klich/Jimi to score well.

That's the beauty of the game imo. Last season, I took the best part of 150 points in hits iirc, and before lockdown in March my team was motoring up the table OR. In terms of h2h, lms comps, etc. such a policy is disastrous though.

So this season, I'll be changing it up at times but trying to take less hits overall (even though I'm half contemplating a couple of hits again this week!). My biggest mistake this weekend in terms of lms was my captaining of VVD, a big gamble that horribly backfired. La joie de vivre eh.

Shanotheslayer

What does Mcbain need from here? a Klich or Jimmy goal with no Bamford involvement now?

skippy15

Has he only gone and done it, have rename tournament

normanoffside

No, unfortunately McBain is gone.
Looks like a 3 point differential.

Jimi (8) and Kilch (2) didn't do enough to make up the 9 point differential on Bamford Captain (4)

All I can say is ... Phew !

Would have been fantastic for McBain if he managed a -24 and survived... I suspect that I may not last much longer.

McBain11

Ah the joys of it, live by the sword die by the sword!

Great competition and serious effort put in by CSF organising it and normanoffside, Fingers and others do brilliant regular updates.

Will keep an eye on this comp during the season, best of luck to all and maybe after getting over the line tonight, it could well be your year Irishphotodesk.

mectavba took a -44 so think we're all safe this week - i'm guessing he forget to confirm the WC and/or forgot the deadline was tonight

Mectavba going down as a hero just like Mcbain

Jayus! Poor fecker. Sickner altogether.

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/448186/event/6

My first reaction was you were codding!
And there I was wondering if I should not have taken a minus 4.

He will probably still finish above me in OR
Mectavba was about 50 points ahead of me and ranked 350K

I'm still not 100% confident ... Lets face it mcBain did not struggle with his points hit, he was very unlucky ... It went down to the last few kicks in the final game of that week.

Mectavba .... Best of luck !! Hope you survive... Just not at my expense lol.

Rikand

I think I only have 9 guaranteed starters so theres hope for him

normanoffside

For the record:

26 have captained Salah
7 Have captained kane
1 ( ronan.h) has captained Maupay :eek:

2 Wildcards
1 x -44
3 x -8
10 x -4

patmac

Looking forward to seeing who is next week’s sacrificial lamb. Tough on mectavba but a lesson for all ‘hit the Wildcard button‘ especially with a Friday night fixture.

mectavba

Confirmed that I just completely forgot to hit wildcard... not part of any grand plan. Moving home during covid this weekend is my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I will be in transit until Monday afternoon so won't find out the inevitable outcome until then either

Bollix, wouldn’t be surprised the way this year is going.

For once I'm confident it isn't me this week.... genuinely go into each gameweek with the fear !!

Brighton have a big scoring match in them and who better than WBA to give you that... worth an early season punt

Cartman78

Johnstone save point.

Like Pope last year he turns into Lev Yashin the minute I sell him

Edit..oops wrong thread but the point stands :-)
