GW20 matchday thread

F1ngers

After today I'll have 4 players benched.

Nakamba long term, Lascelles back soon, but will probably lose place.

I think I'll hold Salah and sell Son.

Good luck all.

COH

No hits

Areola

Porro - Colwill - Andersen

Salah (c) - Saka - Bowen - Palmer

Watkins - Alvarez - Solanke

- Gordon first/only sub.

Git rid of Haaland for Alvarez this morning. Had planned on keeping him and rolling the transfer but am happy to take a -4 next week if needs be to replace Salah/Digne for TAA/Anyone

Wanted to sell Saka but sold Son instead in prep for Asian Cup instead and Saka will be a popular Salah/Son replacement during this time. Bowen in.

Mr Crispy

Ended up not making any transfers this week, but took a silly punt on benching Saka and starting Sarabia instead. So when Saka hauls for the first time in ages, you know who to thank!

Cartman78

Seems like a LOT of people have captained Alvarez 😬

On Wildy so I own him but backing Salah to haul against tired Newcastle

Also the same choice. Went will Salah. And looking at his EO, many did also.

Top 10k EO

Salah 150%

Alvarez 67%

Salah a bit lower EO around my rank of 850k.

F1ngers

Palmer - no assist

mobydopy

Palmer goal

shmeee

Palmer goal..... (No assist, awful defending by Luton to pass the ball to Palmer)

Sorry @Newbie20

Did you bench him?

Ace2007

Palmer owned by decent % these days - I remember when he was a nice differential

I was so tortured with the decision that I ended up bench boosting 😂, the fear was too much. Also I hate that chip, I reckon there’s too much planning goes into it and points lost while planning for usually small enough returns so was happy enough to use it.

gammygils

Palmer you beauty

shmeee

And Palmer assist here now to help you even more. I said it during week, that a BB this week wouldn't be a bad move. 15/20 points and your away, half way to it and more already from 1.

Madueke(Palmer)

Does this gameweek count towards December or January for monthly leaderboards?

I benched him 🤢

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121550005#Comment_121550005

Looking at my ML. He is on about 50% of benches ahead of me and I'm down around the 20's. Nice gain hopefully, but he's first sub so could come in for some.

Cartman78

This is going to be a high scoring week....I can feel it in my bones*

*or I could be quasi delirious from all the medication I'm on for this focking flu/virus I've had for 3 weeks

Could be covid

shmeee

Looks like Sheffield are lining up with a back 10. This could be 90 mins game played in one half of the pitch.

KDB also in squad.

PALMERRRRR goal (Jackson)

A finish of a striker through the middle.
