Gameweek 38 match day thread. The Final Hurdle.

Father Hernandez

Long season, looking forward to the break tbh.

Going into the final GW at 78k OR, taking a -4 today

Schmeichel (Foster)

Alonso, Robertson, Cancelo, White

Diaz, Son (C), Saka, Kulusevski

Jesus, Kane (VC)

Subs: Weghorst, KDH, Schar

If reports are true about Alonso, hopefully Weggie will do a bit of heavy lifting for me leaving him in my team for so long. Jesus and Diaz risky punts but fingers crossed.

Best case scenario, getting into top 50k. Worst case scenario dropping out of top 100k.

GL all.

Dubh Geannain

-4 hit. Was 11 ahead in money league so now 7 ahead going into today.

Ramsdale

James Fofana Robertson

Foden Mount Maddision Son(c)

Kane Watkins Nketiah

Subs Sanchez - Amartey , Roberts Gordon

If Fofana doesn't play I've Amartey hopefully to come in as a straight sub. If James doesn't play I've Roberts. Any other non starters then I'm praying.

Cypher_sounds

Pope

Laporte, TAA, Cancelo, Schar

KDB(c) Son Mount Saka

Toney Vardy

9 playing at home, that's all kinds of winning already right?

Couldn't resist bringing in KDB and captaining him given his final day record and what's at stake for him.

Father Hernandez

No Walker, Sterling or Grealish according to Rockstar.

Ings bench

Glad I got rid

Father Hernandez

Alonso not in squad, James starts. That's a big swing already for me.

White benched too. Fack!

Mount starts , phew !! Changed my captain from Son to Mount this morning, hopefully it pays off

James doesn’t start?

Did you smash it

Whoever started the rumour that James wouldn’t start can piss off

He does start? It's annoying reading posts about players not starting - I used to think there was an automatic ban around here for stuff like that - guess that's not the case now?

As is Schar - tough break - down to 10 unless one of them come on for ya

Flashscore got it wrong so not necessarily posters fault.

They updated now.

I didn't hear the alonso reports. 50/50d on him or James. Of course I went for alonso.

In fairness poster 'eh i dunno' just said there was a rumour (and he mentioned 3 players and was correct about 2 of them).

He didn't post it as definitive fact or anything, so it's up to people whether they want to follow a rumour.

And that (longstanding) poster wouldn't be one to deliberately mislead people anyway.

ShaneU

Wolves striker looked offside from the goal kick?

Yea i get that, but in a forum that is falling to pieces and may not be here next year, what good does it do if it's just a rumour and posters won't post their source? Source should be a well known/reliable twitter account or not at all, as it doesn't really do much good - does it?

A poster a few seasons ago said that Salah was going to be dropped or something before a game, which turned out to be false and he got an automatic ban - there was no "up to you whether you want to follow it or not". If the forum is going to be here next season you can't have one rule for "well known" posters and a different rule for newbies.

Just seen No Pickford or Foster either. No striker or keeper, fantastic

wonski

Rules changed after so many posters left.

Bans and infractions are not as likely as before.

Either way saying that there is a rumour of this or that player being dropped I don't think anyone ever got banned for. Normal conversation.

He clearly said a rumour. You can then research it yourself.

Fair enough, didn't realise the rules changed - not sure why it makes sense that they were changed just cause posters left? But we'll leave it at that
