    Odd weekend. 69 with Chester to play. Captain DiMaria saved my bacon. 5 of my players scored a grand total of 8 points. The other 5 contributed 61. 9,8 and 5 on my bench. Who'd have thought Hutton and Duff would out score Ivanovic and Pieters. 4 points and 9 points behind in my 2 h2h leagues. C'mon Chester.

    Dropped 65000 places today to 111000. I had no United players. Still have Robertson to play tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Afternoon at the beach worked well. 89 points, didn't even captain Costa. Sitting at 2k overall and I'm absolutely bloody delighted!! Early days and not getting carried away and I'll drop a bit tomorrow but I needed this start after the whole of last season :o

    Can't wait for MOTD now later either :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 148 ✭✭Pipjam


    85 for the week with 4 to come off for an extra transfer.

    257 points in total so sitting at 11k.

    Delighted for you, last season seemed to be a bit of a nightmare.

    48 for me, Hazard captain. 1,267,005 in the world overall:(

    Green arrows for at least 10 weeks in a row are calling;)

    81.

    Never captained Costa either.

    Back in the game at 20k ish.


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


    Need a top class performance from West Ham tomorrow night, then work Costa and Di Maria into the side. Not to pull the trigger early or wait till later in the week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Rooney put respectability on my score but silly gambles and over tinkering costing me. For the second week in a row if I'd made no transfer I'd have scored considerably more points, including leaving Jovetic in my team for zero!!

    Wildcarding partially because I need to get a fresh start and not have changes I'm wanting to make and tempted to take hits for....

    57(-8) and down to 630k overall. My first ever millionaire weekly rank I think....

    Inspired move on Pelle, well done. Was either going to follow you in Jovetic to Pelle or take a hit and get Tadic and Ballotelli, guess which one I went for.... Sums up my decision making, pretty much taking your role from last season. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,307 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    I finish on 58 points, captain Rooney responsible for turning my score from very poor to alright. Down from 27k to 67k and will drop down more tomorrow night with the game and autosubs. Not having Costa the last 2 GWs has been hard to take but I have him back in the team now and he's not leaving it unless he's suspended or 100% injured.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    70 points, all the more rewarding that I didn't make a single transfer throughout the international break, let alone play the WC.

    Sticking with Costa (c) and Ramsay paid off, along with persevering with Mata and Rooney!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,700 ✭✭✭Danger781


    53 points :(

    0 from Dier, 0 from Wisdom

    2 from Captain Falcao (Bias got the best of me..)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Jelavic to make the pain of having almost half my points total sitting on my bench easier to bear.I await a hat trick from him tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Will finish on 67(-8) for the week after Taylor comes in off the bench. happy enough with 59 after last weeks poor showing despite having used the wildcard.

    United's win didn't do me any favours though and saw me drop again down to circa 300k but i'm happier with my team now and have made the boring move of Dummett out for Duff this week.

    Hopefully see some green arrows this weekend and keep an above 50 average for the next while to bump me back up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    77 points, United saved me! Had Mata, De Gea, and Rooney as captain. Up to 410 overall rank so really happy!

    32 points. Absolute disaster. Left out Costa due to these phantom injuries and could see Balotelli doing something against Villa. That didn't work well. Dropped about 500,000 places!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,627 ✭✭✭Sgt Pepper 64


    Did not capt Costa

    sad-face


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    WC played and finished with 62 points.

    Biggest mistake was Sterling as Captain instead of Costa.

    Dropped about 20k places to 75k +

    I haven't had one captain decision remotely right this year

    I am 18 points behind this and sit in 75k+ position.

    Had Sterling as skipper over Costa. Just goes to show it is early days and there is not much between a massive jump in places at this stage.

    My captains to date

    GW 1 - Rooney 7 points
    GW 2 - Fabregas 6 points
    GW 3 - Ramsey 2 points
    GW 4 - Sterling 1 points.

    16 points in total doubled for skipper in 4 GW's is a shocking return. Think I will have to stick to the Boards Poll for the next few weeks.

    Not once have I had Costa as skipper :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,511 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    7 points and 6 points for a captain while not setting the world alight could not be described as 'not getting a capt decision remotely right'

    You've just gotten the decision badly wrong twice out of four. It happens.

    78 points for me, a good week overall.
    Captained Fabregas, and also got good/decent points from Costa, Aguero, Scneiderlin, Duff, Clyne and Sanchez.
    The only thing I got wrong was the choice between Sigurdson and Shelvey - I went with Sigurdson, it costs me 5 points.
    (Also Hutton's 5 points sitting on the bench)

    Upcoming gigs and events: The Pillowman, Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Foil Arms and Hog, Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne

    Just having a browse on some old schoolfriend's team this morning in our local league. He's usually a very good player but his defense this week must have set a new record...

    Shaw (0) Yoshida (0) Vlaar (0)

    His two sub defenders...

    Dummett (0) Wisdom (0)

    :D

    Not surprisingly, he is on wildcard!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    Despite getting a combined 8 points from Mannone, Pieters, Ianovic, Sterling, Wellbeck and Falco I am still on 67 points with Chester to play tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭TacT


    78 in the bag and chester to play tonight. 233 points total. 3rd in mini league. 19 points off first and 16 off 2nd. Wildcard available.

    80 points despite my 3 defenders giving me a grand total of 2 points. Happy that I stuck with Eriksen, Mata and Rooney. I'll hold on to the united lads for the next few weeks with the fixtures they have, then have another look at it before they play Chelsea.

    Anyone know why Hangeland didn't play?

    My defence is a bit of a mess at the moment, Debuchy injury doesnt help, plus Wisdom and Colocinni aren't getting many points.
