That Lukaku one is tempting

Ah ya, i wasn't being totally serious. Still haven't forgotten blowing the tc on him a couple of years ago, both teams stank then too as far as I remember.

Lukaku's DGW fixtures that season were Watford away and Crystal Palace away, teams that lay 15th and 16th in the table at the time.

21 points combined in the ‘reverse’ fixtures. I’d take a 63 point TC.

I’m far from a Lukaku fan, but he has a reputation as a flat track bully and the two teams he’s playing are both stink.

Anybody but Lukaku for the TC for me. I'd like more than 12 points.

Interesting....

So in my own head at this minute, the TC options are narrowing down to:

1) Salah (BOU)
2) Lukaku (WBA, whm)
3) Lukaku (bha, bou)
4) Son/Alli/Kane (wba/bha)
5) Mahrez (WHM/SOT)

Probably leaning towards Lukaku in GW34 - West Brom are doomed, and West Ham away are both doomed and toxic

Ooohhh that mahrez one is very tempting I must say
Can BB in 34 as planned then
Probably be his last home game for them as well

Note: I have had zero success with TC Chip in 2 seasons - blew it on Aguerooo last year in the early DGW (1 goal and a blank IIRC), and was an unfortunate passenger on the Andy Carroll TC Bus the previous year (2 blanks and a booking I think)

Some of the DGW TC options are a bit underwhelming alright so it's not that crazy, although Salah at home to Bournemouth in GW34 might be more appealing maybe

I'm leaning towards this week as I think he will be everyones captain so its my best way to make desperately needed ground

This guy is OR 71 and has not had Salah or Kane all season.
S/he took their only hit in GW28.

This week was their third time in the top 8k in a single GW this season.

That is....unreal. Facking hell. How did you find this team and know they never owned Salah and Kane?

His/her captain choices have been excellent in 9 of the last 10 weeks but I lost all respect for them when I seen they wc'd in gw22 .casuals.

Ederson - keeper so wouldn't expect rotation
Otamendi was apparently a rotation risk. Hasn't happened. Other centre halves have all been injured so hard to tell.
Walker the same. Mendy got injured but signs are he wouldn't have
Fernandiho KDB. Started all games.
Davis Silva has missed games due to premature birth of child not rotation.
Sterling rotated twice maybe????
Sane when available rotated very little.
Aguero and jesus were the 2

So vast majority of team not rotated. 2 strikers for one position lead to inevitable rotation.
Mourinho has rotated his midfield options much more for example.

The LACK of rotation caught people out more than rotation imo.........

Can't argue with proof.

And let's be honest he hasn't REALLY rotated all season has he?
No more than a lot of other managers really

I agree I think he'll want to keep them all sharp for the CL. He said before that resting players in Germany was a mistake he wouldn't make again after they'd wrapped the league up and then the rest of the season went downhill.

So, two more wins will secure the title for City. Likely a win GW33 at home to Man U will do the job (Everton away before that) , so could enter dgw34 as champions. I have a funny feeling Pep will field strong sides for the remainder of the season though, just about every PL record could be broken if they keep up current form.

My initial thoughts were to avoid for the DGW’s but not so sure anymore. Think I’ll have a couple of them as Pep goes for 96 points.

But some people just need the reassurance sometimes.
They might even ask a second opinion.
Then it is up to them whether they take the advice or not.

It does not happen on here, but there is a very famous fantasy football site where people b1tch and moan if they follow advice, and it goes wrong for them!

That amuses me.

Then again, I am easily amused.

Aye, but I’m talking about the ones that don’t know what to do, don’t suggest anything themselves, and will blindly follow the advice in here.

Anyway. Each to their own. I’d find no satisfaction in winning anything that way.

Think of how awesome it will feel for me when I transfer in and captain Defoe next GW and he scores a brace. Maybe even a hat trick.

That is the joy of FPL. Making a decision and backing yourself. Works the other way too though as in getting it wrong - nobody to blame but myself.

I'd throw my own hat in the ring to replace him but I've single handedly took a private league winning club last season to mid-tabke mediocrity. I suspect my own days are numbered too.

Introducing league tiers into the FPL game would certainly make things interesting wouldn't it

I hear ya but every time it rains paranoia I get soaked.

I’ve seen some posters talk about their OR and then see them ask fairly basic advice, usually player transfer related, and scratch my head.

There’s also the ‘top of my league’ or ‘only 15 points off top’ and then ‘what do I do next ?’ and then receive some awesome transfer advice they would never have thought of themselves.

I just think you should have to work for the victory rather than be lucky enough to know this forum exists.

People are normally only competing against the others in thier own mini-leagues.

Luck has a major part to do with it as well.

There is no harm giving newbies advice as it is only fair most of them (unless extremely lucky) are no threat to the obsessive eejits who cover all the angles.
