GW 18 Matchday Thread

    FPL is so funny. Taken the approach this year of just doing nothing at times and it's worked out. Hadn't taken any hits before this GW.

    If the team is looking semi okay, the best thing to do is leave it I was thinking. Funny results happen, goals happen, not the way you'd expect/predict, etc.

    Decided to be aggressive this GW - took out Areola (didn't think he'd start) and Ward (injured and didn't fancy Taylor at home to Fulham) for Martinez & Konsa, a banker of a clean sheet yeah?! Watkins was already in for Nunez after the Liverpool/United game.

    -8 before the GW started. My logic/rationale - Sheffield United won't score so by taking the hits, I'll prob be 2/3/4 points better off depending on bonuses.

    So of course Areola starts and gets a 9 pointer and Taylor gets 6 points for the CS. Oh and I've Archer as my 3rd sub!

    Currently sitting on 36(-8) but could've been 50 right now if I'd sat on my hands. Oh well! :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,036 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Definitely would have shipped Tripper (and got Solanke in) if he wasn’t against LUT. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

    The wheels seem to be falling off NUFC a bit?

    What chip is that where you can transfer out a defender for a striker?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭COH


    Yellows for Endo & Havertz



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,337 ✭✭✭✭gammygils

    Well at least Mo scored



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Pilau (Rice, yellow).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,036 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    Would have made 2 free transfers. But thanks for clearing that up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭COH

    Jesus off for Nketiah too.

    60 with Palmer & Colwill to go. HEWT



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,337 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    On 28 with a load of benched points. Massive red arrow incoming after 3 green

    Need a goal fest tomorrow with hauls from Hwang and Palmer to rescue my GW



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,869 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    40 with Palmer, Jackson, Hweng and Cunha to play - high scoring game needed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,091 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    33 points all out. Awful week, I'd had a few of those this season. They've cost me big.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭COH


    51 with Colwill and Palmer to play. HEWT



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,867 ✭✭✭crushproof


    52 all out. Not great, not terrible. Difficult to know who is going to shine and who is going to flop over the Xmas period.

    All out on 62....need Palmer to stay quiet 🤫



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,285 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    53 all out.

    I knew I'd have less than 10 players after my stupid transfer last Sunday night and I wrote off this GW at that time. Half thought about a -4 to get an extra player in but was too annoyed at myself with ruining my planning as it's not my style. I had the squad set up to account for injuries etc. Avoided FPL til now as a result.

    Time to just make sure GW19 hits now, pardon the pun.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,564 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    Colwill and Gusto are both staring today for me...


    A clean sheet would be welcome, Pamer to stay quite and one of the 2 lads scoring a header from a corner

    Not a lot to ask for -Cue Wolves goal........



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,181 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Will be surprised if Chelsea keep a clean sheet here, going off the first half hour.

    Sterling has just shown why city let him go, Chelsea 3 lads running in on goal with only the keeper to beat - he has to score or pass it to the 2 lads beside him who have an open goal, he shoots straight at keeper - shocking miss.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,181 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    Shocking from Sterling. I'd hook him for that. Inexcusable not to lay it on a plate for Palmer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,869 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Wolves goal Lemina (Sarabia)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,869 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Palmer gets a stupid yellow for kicking ball away and will be suspended for next GW



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,345 ✭✭✭✭paulie21


    Gusto yellow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,869 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Jackson yellow for dissent,

    Going into this game i needed 9 points from 4 players to win an H2H, currently 2 of my players have been booked, and both should have scored - this game would drive you mad



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,869 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Make that 3 of mine - Cunha yellow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,869 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Doherty goal - Chelsea defensively and attacking wise are a shambles really



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,869 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Nkunku (Sterling)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Nkunku scores his first Premier League goal (Sterling).

    Sterling yellow for diving, and he'll miss the next GW



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Have a bit of sympathy for Stirling there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Yellow for Bueno.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Benimar




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,181 ✭✭✭Cypher_sounds


    The Doc with the winner was unexpected. 18 games in, Wolves level on points with Chelsea.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,784 ✭✭✭highgiant1985


    65 points and out. Had Watkins as captain. Live rank has me sitting 67,383 overall after this round so doing pretty well still. 42 extra points would put me top 5k and 42 less points would have me just outside the top 400k.

    I had to make my transfer for next week already as I've 2 injured defenders now plus Taylor whose facing Liverpool next. Didn't want to start him so made the move of Tsimikas out for Saliba.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Fractionally. Didn't really appeal, and there was contact. It wasn't a pen though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,760 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    An early Christmas present of another fairly sizeable green arrow 🎄

    Up to 125K and top on the mini- leagues that matter.

    Still have my Wildly so will no doubt make a ballz of it from here on...ho ho ho indeed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,760 ✭✭✭mobydopy


    63 pts all out has me up to 46k , my highest rank of the season so far :)
