4974 OR. Hello top 5K. It's been a while.

macraignil · 23-12-2018 10:13pm

Taking -4 to bring in Kane for Aguero the week before last now looks to have paid off. Would have been above average and with a green arrow if I stuck with captaining him as I intended. Captain Hazard did hit the cross bar yesterday so it is definitely a game of fine margins. Finishing on 50 and a drop to 112,000 overall rank. Got in Salah now for next week so hoping I can get the captain choice right for the next few weeks.

47 and a fall of 2k to 4.7k, my 8th red arrow in 9 gameweeks.

I was actually very tempted to captain Kane but stuck with Sterling in the end. If Kane was at home I probably would've captained him but strangely enough he seems to do better away.

Done the same move last minute... Kane always does better away & I really wanted to but everyone else was so was a bit of fear there

He will POSSIBLY be back
No definite news
He was in the away end with the fans Friday night ........

JayJoe1990 · 24-12-2018 12:34am

cheers bud. i would prefer to do just ricky to martial but i am short .1 which is annoying so need to make the 2nd transfer

jamesbondings · 24-12-2018 1:28am

83 brings me to 36155 overall

Mike Ehrmantraut · 24-12-2018 1:37am

60 for the week has me just inside the top 4K, it’s been a great season so far.

With possibly rotations, players being rested, etc, the next 2 or 3 GW’s could be a huge make or break in people’s seasons, hopefully I won’t make a similar mistake to this time last year when I sold Kane just before his back to back hat tricks

mugsymugsy · 24-12-2018 1:41am

69 with Brooks and Ricki on the bench. Would have been 80+ but HEWT after recent weeks.

dsmythy · 24-12-2018 1:51am

49 drops me from 35k to 45k

gammygils · 24-12-2018 2:43am

39 (no hits) :mad: OR drop to 1.48m. Captain Fail Number 2many

And out of The Cup. Defeated by an unmanaged team that captained Auba
Disastrous GW.

The real mccoy 91 · 24-12-2018 10:36am

36(-4) sees me freefall from 49k to 120k. Trying not to panic and tear my team apart just put it down to one of those weeks

Mint Sauce · 24-12-2018 10:42am

54 pts sees a fall of about 50k places to around 830k, falls in all the global leagues, but a slight rise and none movers in private leagues. Finally scrapped through in the cup, to a ghost team who had captained VVD.

Iused2likebusts · 24-12-2018 11:12am

I dropped to 185k from 140k with 47. The game yesterday killed my ranking. Hard to believe that transferring in sterling to captain him could do so much damage .

I survived taking in a captaining Sterling and taking a -4 hit

68 points so HEWT

But if I'd done nothing, Salah would have been my captain and Pereyra wouldn't have been shipped to make way along with Laca who picked up an assist. So could have had 90 plus points. Still, I have Sterling now I suppose for the first time this season.

Apologies to all those owners if it turns out it was me who finally broke him

tailgunner · 24-12-2018 11:37am

Finished on 53. No major damage done, but there have been a few too many red arrows recently. I've basically doubled my rank to 118k since GW12.

Captained Sterling over Kane or Auba. Still think it was the right decision, but it's calls like that that are doing the damage lately.

carnie · 24-12-2018 11:57am

Possibly my worst week ever. I only managed 34 points.

SlickRic · 24-12-2018 12:11pm

Spurs got me out of a giant hole.

only dropped from 1.1k to 1.5k, despite an utterly miserable Saturday.

patmac · 24-12-2018 12:57pm

32 here, my much vaunted midfield of Sane(c), Sterling, Snodgrass and Hazard netted 10 points all playing at home to mid table teams, can’t get anything right, was happy with my team, now it looks a mess.

If that was your worst week ever then you have got lucky.

None of those players are suddenly rubbish. I'm looking forward to the City reaction against Leicester.

Yeah am thinking the same, depressing all the same.

Paully D · 24-12-2018 7:34pm

58 gives me a tiny rise from 29k to 27k.

Kane and Aubameyang bailed me big time.

That seems a massive drop for being 1 point off the average.

I've dropped 1k to 17k with 53.
