Game Week 11 Matchday Thread

You can't have everyone though. I went with Lukaku instead of him and that's worked out pretty well.

Exactly this is the exact opppsite of last season. Less obvious budget options and a lot of big guns from many teams scoring big. Obviously getting your picks right on form and fixtures is huge - but knee jerking from week to week chasing points can be disastrous. You need to pick the big guns you believe in and stick with them over reasoanable lengths of time.

Well I'm ****ed then! 21pts with Sanchez, Lallana, Holebas and Fuchs to play.

I made Aguero captain through the fpl app but when i logged in today, it went back to last weeks captain as Sanchez and Aguero as vice captain. Sanchez better go crazy tomorrow!!

Kinda wish I didn't rage transfer in Allen on Monday evening now but happy enough besides.

43 from 6....probably my most satisfying FPL afternoon of the season.

Perfectly reasonable to get Hazard in.
Perfectly reasonable to wait a week as Everton under Koeman are pretty solid.

This is some harsh punishment.

So much this. I, and I'm sure many of ye, had picked out Liverpool mids for their current run of fixtures. I thought long and hard and then some more about doing Mane to Hazard-4 but decided against. Liverpool fixtures, Everton defence, don't be swayed by price changes alone, hold your nerve and all that

I know Mane hasn't played yet but it's safe to say that I'd have been better making that move. Every time I've been 'sensible' and not made a move to chase price rises it has hammered me this year.

15 from 3 incl captain. Horrific.

rashford has not travelled to Swansea according to a reliable journalist....

Oh no... He was a differential for me... Looks like I should have gone for my -12 instead of keeping it to a -4.


35 (-4) with Foster McAuley Fuchs Holebas Sanchez & Firmino to go. Whelan 0 pointer to auto-sub for Rashford.
Not expecting much from tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be wrong.

Your Liverpool duet and Austin (he plays Hull) tomorrow could make up a lot of points though .

Down 40k to 253k. Sanchez, Walcott, Coutinho, Firmino, Austin and Evans left to play tomorrow.

15 from 4 (-4) down to 300k. firmino, coutinho, sanchez, mata, cech, austin and fuchs to go.

Actually forgot I'm on -4 too. Explains why I fell so hard.

Brunt, Fuchs, Karius, Holebas, Sanchez, Mane, Firmino and Austin to play. That makes it sound a bit better.

Chelsea are top of the league
Their main striker has scored or assisted in pretty much every game
He is nicely priced
And yet .......most of us don't have him and those that do rarely captain him
Funny old game

didn't realise Benteke goal was a penalty
damn you Heaton!
Also ......spacecraft assist and INChES from an equaliser ......inside of the post and out

The Agüero relative fail won't impact much. FPL Disco have 80.1% of captains played (90% of these probably Agüeroes).
Who were your others? Lukaku? In his 50/50 with Costa it hurts but I'd say we're many in that boat. Who's the 3rd?

You're gonna rely on your double 'Pool mid & Austin. Big scores from them should save your GW.

Joe 'the real deal' Allen who marked his debut in my team with a yellow card and 1 point.

Not concerned about Aguero. Have some potentially good players to go tomorrow but have a sense of impending doom.

that smug feeling when you got in Costa, Hazard and Alonso as part of a -16 :cool:

That sense of optimism when you initially look at the team of the lad you're playing in head to head for the charity league and realize that your -8 has been trumped by his -16. Surely things will go well for you.

Gradually though as the Chelsea v Everton match unfolds you realize the evil genius of his -16 as your tear soaked eyes continue to well up :pac:

Fair play to you, can I borrow your time machine for next week though ?

Not sure if it was posted but news last night that Rashford didn't travel to Swansea.

3 of the lads around me don't have Sanchez
surprising

Walcott goal would be so sweet
