Despite the aguero(c) horror show, a respectable 55 sees me get a decent rise up to around 120k. Holebas and Lovren really saved me this week though after a horror show on Saturday, but both wild carded in the week before so can't complain. Onwards we go!

67(-8) great week for me as I got a good score and sorted my team out once and for all.

Yeah I was expecting him to go down after the update but I remember him doing a couple of key clearances that probably counter-balanced his YC. It's the problem of the stats-oriented system. A key clearance on the edge of the penalty area is the "same" than one that prevents a goal. It's statistically consistent. Then for us, people, DDG opposite hand save is miles ahead any clearance.

For once that I could see the game (again free on French Channel 23, they seem to like 'Pool, last free game was Chelsea-'Pool), I have to say I couldn't find any outstanding player bar maybe DDG for his 2 wonder saves. United were good defensively but Mourinho parked the bus. I found Valencia very good. Very sharp, great late tackle on Firmino (unfortunately for me). Coutinho finished very well and lallana made a great sub-appearance. Bar that/them...

Yeah just seen Valencia wonderful goal saving tackle which makes it even worse!!!

Should still see a small rise of about 10/15k and my defense is in better shape
Prob take another hit next week

I usually agree, but Bailly with a yellow outdoing 7 other defs who also got cs and DDG with 3 saves is a bit off.

I said it many times over the last couple of years but I don't agree. We have to bear in mind the bonus points system is not the real game bonus points system but teh fantasy game bonus points system. When the bonus points system was decided by a panel of "pundits", it was much worse. There was no consistency at all and controversy every single GW (dare I say every game ). Sometimes, you could really suspect subjectivity in some choices, some players seemed guaranteed some bonuses whatever their performance (Charlie "hero" Adams ).

So, as much as it can hurt us football lovers (and if you'd ask me, Merlin Silva would be the new Charlie Adams with an automatic 3 BPs for each one of his games ), we must remember that the rules are different there and Karius and his CS is more valuable than Herrera who did not much FPL-wise.

So 5 defs and a goalie for the 6 BPs distributed tonight with another def & goalie + Herrera just shy of them is to be expected IMO. Nothing nonsensical to me.

Clyne: 3
Bailly: 2
Lovren, Matip, De Gea, Valencia: 1

Horrible game (was kinda expected with Mourinho after United 3 consecutive defeats) that turned out pretty good for me and could have been fantastic if Firmino had a bit more gas in the tank for his Valencia-denied 1 on 1 with DDG (and if he scored it of course

).

12 from 3 tonight though so more than happy with it.

Thought my 27 last week was bad but hit 26 this week.

Grant walker williams and evans,was expecting pool to score at least 2:mad:

COH

Had written this GW off completely but a decent haul from Valencia, Lovren and Firmino means finish on 46 with no hits...

Delightfully average score in the end, small red arrow for the GW but up 25k from yesterday at least finishing on 32k

patmac

34 (-8) if Valencia gets his 2 bp, as horrible as the game tonight.

Cartman78

41....relieved to have broken through the magical 40 point barrier as a Benteke & Aguero owner.

Predicted drop of around 40k it seems to around 180k...thats two reasonably big drops in a row but not panicking just yet

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

My one point tonight brings me to a total of 38. On top of the 19 last GW that's me dead and buried. 106k to 835k in two weeks. Top to 17th in main money league. See you all next august.

Iused2likebusts

Valencia and firmino there. I played Valencia as I expected it to be the type of horrible game it was.
