I honestly think its because of accountability. It's easier to blame luck than poor decision making.

I have Chester. I transferred him in ahead of Rosenior when I wanted a Hull defender. Rosenior would have garnered me far more points. Now Chester is out for the season.

That was my decision though so just have to get on with it.

If luck played that big a part in the game, why are we bothering with forums like this? There's little point doing research and having strategies if luck has such a huge role to play.

I would argue that strategy is definitely legit but that luck is a factor--this week has been a prime example. Injuries, etc., are completely down to luck--granted you take that risk choosing players who are only back from injury i.e. Aguero.

Still, luck does play a part though accountability is certainly a necessity too.

just to clarify I dont go into the whole luck thing in general as you make your choices and some weeks you get the breaks and some weeks you dont. This week though it was next to impossible to choose your players/captain with any real certainty of gametime.

I'd second that!

HighClass · 04-05-2014 02:56PM

All I have going for me in this match is Mert so no West Brom goal please

Mert goal from a header would be nice though!

Mr.Prodston · 04-05-2014 03:06PM

Podolski scuffing that shot against the post when it was easier to score sums up my entire season perfectly

Swiper the fox · 04-05-2014 03:07PM

Schwarzer; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Cole; Lampard, Matic; Salah, Willian, Schurrle; Ba

Ziegler1988 · 04-05-2014 03:08PM

Hazard on the bench

Mr.Prodston · 04-05-2014 03:10PM

Salah looks to be my ace with Ramsey out!

Dearg81 · 04-05-2014 03:11PM

I'd say I'm the only one happy to find out Ramsey didn't play, I have Salah to come in, just hoping Nowich play like they did last week.

thunderdog · 04-05-2014 03:11PM

Ha no Rooney, Ramsey, Azpil. I'd be happy to hit 40 points this week

SantryRed · 04-05-2014 03:11PM

No Azpilicueta and Ramsey means I get Colback coming off the bench with 3 and another game to go, and also Williamson coming off the bench with 6. Could be worse :pac:

IsMiseMyself · 04-05-2014 03:17PM

No Azpi as well.

>_<

KevIRL · 04-05-2014 03:17PM

BPS - Giroud 12, Mert 11, Kos 10

KevIRL · 04-05-2014 03:18PM

Giroud and dorrens booked

KevIRL · 04-05-2014 03:20PM

FT 1-0, managed to drag my overall score over the 30 point mark

IsMiseMyself · 04-05-2014 03:23PM

2nd place has Naismith subbing in for Azpi.

:pac:

This week is my season going down in flames. Yesterday I was annoyed, today I find it funny. I lose, I lose. FPL has been fun in its own way--an interesting hobby certainly.

Fowler87 · 04-05-2014 03:23PM

Only on the 19(-8)

so far this GW so anything over 2 from Salah will be a plus

irish son · 04-05-2014 03:24PM

Hows the bonuses looking after Giroud yellow?

giroud 3, mert 2, kosc 1

neil.p.b · 04-05-2014 03:26PM

Goal winning BPS will cancel it out, giroud 3, mert 2, kosc 1

Is there a bonus point given if the goal scored is the match winner?

So even though giroud and mert are currently on the same bps, giroud will still get an extra bps and thus 3 bonus pts?

HighClass · 04-05-2014 03:31PM

Mert getting BPs makes up slightly for no Ramsey. Lets hope Terry can do the same!

finnharpsboy · 04-05-2014 03:42PM

no ramsey means ive nobody playing today so stuck on 36 (-8) till tomorrow

Luck plays a small part I agree. I still believe that it more than often works itself out over the course of the season.

As I've said previously, the lads in work discussed luck in the game one year. As was pointed out and agreed then, if luck played such a large part you wouldn't have the same people in and around the top five every year no matter what way the season went.

You listed 4 players above as bad luck this week.

Rooney - we knew about the injury on Friday and BBC said they understood he wouldn't play.

Aguero - he's made of glass lately.

Chester - the max you'll probably miss out on is 2 points. They are safe and I can't see them getting much Tuesday.

Ramsey - most active players have him so him being missing is hitting the majority.

Demichelis - you're only down a point and he has a game to go.
