Yes that counts :)

13 (-4) and captain played.

FFFIx has me dropping from 20k to 50k

Arsenal very poor so far. Brighton dominating.

Fitz*

Brighton play some good football and are exciting going forward. Might be fun to own some of their attackers. Maupay soon maybe.

Dubh Geannain

Probably foolishly benched Sanchez and Tommy Wiseau so might need a goal or two here.

Fitz*

I own Ramsdale, White & Saka. Benched Sanchez. Might have overloaded the wrong team!

Odegaard off, Pepe on

Annoying yellow for Maupay in a GW where every point is precious

Veltman booked

Brilliant save Ramsdale..

Cucurella has been excellent, looks a great signing

Saka subbed, might have picked up an injury

Double Arsenal defence here, so these last few minutes are very nervy!

Yeah he looks good now. Pity he's a 5.0 defender. 4.5 would have been lovely.

eggy81

Damn. Benched Duffy. Jota first sub but alonso never played. Need a non appearance from Torres tomorrow.

That 0-0 might have saved my week

wanderer100

Massive result for my team - much needed pts from Sanchez & Tomi

Dubh Geannain

There is is. More points from 2 on the bench than the rest of the team. Swapped keepers with 5 minutes to the deadline. I miss Martinez who was a set and forget last season.

extra gravy

Should have kept White on wc but didn't want to double up on Arsenal defence so went with Semedo instead. Ugh.

SlickRic

Azpilicueta, Sanchez and 6 useless tits (including captain).

ShaneU

18 points in that game for me which after hits brings me to 15 points total 😂

Cypher_sounds

Duffer getting me great points for that price. Sanchez in that one also.

Captaining Lukaku a big let down. Strongly considering auto captaining Salah till end of season from now on.

siblers

Sanchez and White saving me

castletownman

36 so far (Livaremento unexpectedly in for Alonso), with Salah, Antonio and Gallagher to go. Happy with that in a bad week, and green arrows for me in my ML

Same as. It looks like White will get 2 bonus points as well which is even better.

Did you smash it

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117968568#Comment_117968568

One point bonus no?

AlmightyCushion

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117968586#Comment_117968586

You're right actually. Thought it was 2 for some reason.

JPup

He was on for 2 until the last couple of mins when Dunk snuck ahead.

The same player? You are aware of his goal scoring record!?

Lemlin

18 points with Duffy to sub in with 6. Not a dream start for my wildcard but glad I played it.

Cancelo, Gallagher (who I swapped in last minute for ESR), Salah & Antonio to go.

Dice75

15 points with Townsends 10 first sub waving at me. Hopefully one of my 5 left to go tomorrow are out.

15 points with captain Salah, Matip, Tanganga, Benrahma, Antonio and Vardy to go.

AlmightyCushion

23 points so far with Salah, Benrahma, Zaha, Antonio (C) and Toney left to play. Relatively speaking, that isn't bad.

Im aware he exploded in Italy alright. He was good for West Brom and Everton too. He sucked balls at united and Chelsea first time around.

munster87

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117968899#Comment_117968899

Hardly played for Chelsea at the time.

Scored over 40 goals for United in 2 seasons.

eggy81

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117968960#Comment_117968960

In the league he scored 28 goals in 66 games for united. Only 12 in the second season. I still expect he’ll score goals for Chelsea too. My initial comment is more related to the narrative that you hear on tv that he’s grown up in Italy and is suddenly a player ready to deliver Kane numbers in the pl. maybe he will but it hasn’t been a blistering start.

munster87

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117969000#Comment_117969000

Ah yeah fair enough. The narrative when he was with United was that he had a worse first touch than a trampoline etc! But he still scored goals!

He’ll get a few with the fixtures they have coming up

Mr.Nice Guy

32 with Cancelo, Zaha, Salah and Antonio to come. Happy with that return. I had Ramsdale and Duffy so that 0-0 was very handy.

Ace2007

30 with Rice and Captain Salah to go.

It's key to remember there is no such thing as a bad week, if your score is above the 10k average (which is 22 from 8 players), So you miles ahead of that average.

Had you got 76 and the top 10k average was 97, it would have been a bad week, but people seem to get caught up in the actual score and associate a bad week with anything under 50 regardless of what the 10k average score is.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117969164#Comment_117969164

Exactly.. I’ve got 19(-4) and dropped from 20k to 46k OR… 10 points off the bench & liveFPL predicts I’ll be at 21k OR.

I judge it like you say on Top10.k avg & if I rise in OR.

Jim Gazebo

27 with 5 to go including captain Vardy.

Up to 24k OR...

Xander10

A couple of captain fails yesterday. Who would have thought that 2 first team certs before season start, KDB & Kane might be differentials today.

Benimar

Of course Coufal starts. God forbid I’d get points off the bench :(

AlmightyCushion

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117970409#Comment_117970409

I have Trent, Shaw and Coufal. Was very close to taking a hit just to get 11 on the pitch and in the end the 2 of them played. Glad I didn't now because I probably would have just swapped one for Rudiger who only got 2 points anyway. Hopefully the 2 Tonys (Antonio and Toney) get a lot of points in this game. Would really help me in my league.
