    39 with I don't know how much coming from "real" BB (since I WCed to have 15 players for this GW, the idea of a bench for this GW makes no real sense e.g. benching a WB def would have been crazy without BB, I'd have either benched Alli or not gambled on Coutinho if BB did not exist).
    Heaton, Alonso, Sanchez (C), Pedro & Giroud to go.

    So, overall, BB is not a success again since Coutinho burnt me again, Randolph was anonymous & Holebas returned 0 (I had an idea to get Smith in for him but it's easy to say in hindsight I considered it). But I see the game as a whole and, I'll wait for this GW to end, but including last GW which, in my view, is a complete part of my BB since I WCed and changed my team to suit it, this whole BB idea may turn out into a success. I'll only know in 2-3 GWs when the whole WC-BB mid-term planning will have ended.

    I look forward to it.

    Just watched motd and Rondon was unlucky not to score, win a pen or assist,oh what might have been


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,911 ✭✭✭tailgunner


    33 points with Heaton, Alonso, Pedro, Sanchez (c) and Giroud to go. Going okay so far - slight fear of Costa and Hazard though!

    Ye its complicated to judge I built a very strong 15 for this week. If there was no BB I wouldn't have spent as much on my defence on wildcard. Like last year the boost I'm getting from an early wildcard is the rejigging of my defence. These are moves I wouldn't have made with f.ts as I always look to sort my front 8 out first. Brunt, baines and chambers are players I wouldn't have yet if I hadn't wildcarded.

    My defence is main reason I'm not wildcarding. Its been in great shape for last wee while, have Brunt, Alonso and Chambers for ages. I really want to get an Everton def, and I will before 26, but can't justify it so far as I've 3 great defence options every week.

    Brunt, Cedric and Alonso this week.

    Considering benching Alonso next week for Brunt (mid), Cedric (swa) and Chambers (WBA).

    Very good return on your BB.

    I need Costa to smite the unbelievers.

    Smite them, Diego. SMITE THEM!!

    I believe in him but I also believed in him not playing last week and losing £0.4m in team value

    Ye you were ahead of the curve with a lot of your defence. BB worked well for me I'm just glad to have it out of the way now . Regrets about not getting in firmino yesterday I logged in at 1125 to do it but ran out of data.

    I'm the same my defence is
    Clyne, Jones, Alonso, walker and brunt.
    Sometimes you will get stung with wrong choice on the bench, but I suppose it's a good problem to have

    I would enjoy a yoshida clean sheet immensely

    Ouch. I've been a victim to planning too far ahead. Kinda knew I was.

    Coulda brought in any mid for Snoddy. Pedro or Firmino or Stanislaus were my picks. Went Stan for DGW planning. Firmino woulda been the short term thinking pick.

    Damn thought that was yoshida assist but think Huth headed it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,463 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Leicester have been so so poor


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,276 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    VVD in trouble, may not make 60.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,006 ✭✭✭Shane732


    Van Dijk the bastard - 53 mins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    VVD off 55mins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,261 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    Disaster for us Yoshida owners. Worse if you're a Van Dijk owner obviously.

    Doubt it - Leicester could have an open goal and they wouldn't score.

    Hobble around for another 5 minutes you selfish muppet.
