    looking like 53 all out - meh

    given how many spurs players scored today, probably average.

    61 (no hits).

    Grand score but missing capt hauls from Salah and Kane hurts. Worried about both starting on boxing day too. Especially Kane.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,354 ✭✭✭✭TitianGerm


    85 points and then whatever bonus points Kane and Son get. Had Wilson starting over Billing so missed out on an extra 6 points but my best total of the season.

    I'd say he will play. Got rested midweek. Plus last 20 today was training ground stuff

    64
    Back up to 30k mark again
    HEWT


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,063 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    66 and no hits but my captain only getting me 4 points is a let down


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,266 ✭✭✭COH


    77 no hits... Salah (c), Harry and Brooks the heroes.

    Green arrows and looks like might sneak into the top 10k for the first time in 7 seasons of playing :eek:

    Off now for a minimum of three bonus pints :D- Merry Christmas everyone!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,787 ✭✭✭Benimar


    62.

    Not a bad score in itself, but sick I transferred Auba (c) to bring in Sterling (c). Would have had 84.

    Lost ground in my ML too, because of Auba and Son.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    48 and a drop to 70k. No Spurs a big rank killer.

    A measly 24 at the start of today. Son, Kane & Richy owner here.... wow just seen the score.

    ****ing incredible. Might sneak through the cup now where I was 35+ points behind. Thought I was gone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    LiveFPL giving an OR of 4974. Gonna be close but might get inside the top 5K for Christmas


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭sicknotexi


    Doubled my points from 40 to 80 in that game, 3 assists and 4 goals. Son is becoming a bit of an fpl hero for me.

    Up to just outside 5k, delighted with that, nosebleed territory for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    54 and a small drop of a few K. Moving Brooks out for Snodgrass and taking the captaincy off Kane was costly


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    48. I sold kane to get funds to get in sterling as I wanted to captain him as he was the best capt choice this week. I really hate the captaincy it impacts big time on decisions and I have a horrible habit that when I risk going without the obvious captain they haul.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,342 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Will end on 52.

    That is some result after being on 26 after 8 players.

    I'll take the slight hit to OR.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    70(-4)

    Was going to do Mahrez to Son this week said I was big silly Son won't cover a -4 Mahrez probably come off the bench and score.

    Oh boy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,068 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    73, I badly needed that after a really bad run of terrible points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,655 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    Guess who sold Son for Torreira this week? Lost it with him after last weeks 15 minute 1-pointer cameo and his imminent departure to the Asian cup. He outscored everyone on my team put together (except for captain Auba). Scraped 40 but most of that was PEA.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,395 ✭✭✭McGrath5


    finished on 79, captain Kane doing the business at long last.

    Brought in Lingard which turned out to be an inspired choice.

    Ricky, Kane & Eriksen fairly saved me today.

    46 all out.

    77k OR. Strange season for me (hit the 100 3 times, been up to dizzy heights of 2k OR and not sure where to go next)

    Merry Christmas all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    The classic two point yellow card for eriksen today as he misses out on a bp by one BPS


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,039 ✭✭✭Pete_Cavan


    My FH team scored 30 points less than had I just stuck with my team as was! Think I've lost my nerve lads, not sure I can do this anymore, go on without me!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,685 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    Well...Salah and VVD fcuked me over on Friday night with their hauls. Nice to see my two guys, Son and Kane respond to that!

    With the form Son is in and given their going for the title, is it worth keeping him until he's off for the Asian games?

    Its a cruel game. That spurs game has ruined my evening.

    All out on 92 after. Doubt I'll top that this season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    68 points, captain Aguero and Chelsea defenders let me down big time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭Taxuser1


    First disaster week in 8. 32. The midfield strategy got a beating by the expected goals which finally arrived for Kane Son and Aubemeyang.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,708 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Busy wkd so only really catching up now, 51 all out but raging i changed Capt from Auba to Sane at the last min mainly. Most others around me had him or Salah as Capt. Need to decide which of Auba or Kane to get rid of to fund Salah now

    62 and should be green arrows all around and a rise in OR to ~57K.

    Foster the hero it has to be said....21 points in the last 3 weeks for the man all us owners love to hate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,483 ✭✭✭macraignil


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,164 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭JayJoe1990


    anyone know if TAA is back for next game? if so i will do alonso > TAA and ricky > matrial

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭JayJoe1990


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,201 ✭✭✭jamesbondings


    83 brings me to 36155 overall


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Mike Ehrmantraut


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,569 ✭✭✭mugsymugsy


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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    49 drops me from 35k to 45k


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,288 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭The real mccoy 91


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    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 :(


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


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 674 ✭✭✭carnie


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,342 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Spurs got me out of a giant hole.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭patmac


    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.
