Wow, them 31 pts have moved me up 300k odd places. Cpt choice could be absolutely critical tomorrow.

Have moved up 380k too, but lots of big players still to play, plenty of teams with 6 or 7 to play judging by the thread, while I only have four incl captain.

As you say, captain bonus will be crucial....

G1032 · 20-09-2014 09:36PM

I have no United cover and only 23 points. Oh God.

I have four to play, but with captain choices including City, Utd, Chelsea players, and Naismith, its absolutely anyones week.

Mr.Prodston · 20-09-2014 09:38PM

As "bad" weeks go my 25 doesn't look too bad so far. I actually rose 100 spots although the chasing pack gaining 10 or so points today is something I'm aware of. The Sterling goal and 3 BPs is unfortunate but could have been worse.

De Gea, Mata, Fabregas, Costa and Rooney (c) to go tomorrow.

No. It's Ade's week.....:cool:

Let's try some positive thinking for a change!!

Cantona's Collars · 20-09-2014 09:43PM

Took a punt & benched Siggy today for Chadli,2 points from Siggy so half my plan has worked out.

For a change this season my back 3 actually gave me a decent return.

29 points with 6 big hitters to play including my captain,c'mon Falcao tomorrow!!

Only dropped 1k with 22, surprised by that.

6 left plus captain Rooney, take that overnight.

Pleasantly surprised to have only fallen 10k places given my paltry 20.

Ace2007 · 20-09-2014 09:48PM

Rooney staying quite tomorrow and Aguero to score tomorrow and all will be good.

Copper_pipe · 20-09-2014 09:49PM

up to 28k from 77k ,

Necronomicon · 20-09-2014 09:57PM

Ever have those moments where, in retrospect, you wonder how on earth you thought a particular choice was good? PVA sits on my bench with his 6 points while Hutton drags my player average down with a solitary point. I really don't know how I didn't go with the player who was up against a team that had two consecutive goalless draws coming into the game.

That said, happy enough so far. 32 points with DDG, Fab, Di Maria, Diego Costa, and Rooney(c) to come. I'm a little worried about my lack of Spurs coverage for tomorrow though.

28k from 130k. Good good week.

hurlingman97 · 20-09-2014 10:06PM

Finish the day with 22 (PVA(6) is coming on for Chester. So 28 really).
Have Di Maria, Fabregas, Costa(C) and Aguero to go.

FutureGuy · 20-09-2014 10:13PM

36 mainly thanks to Caulker, Clyne and Sterling. Rooney (c), Ivanovic, Costa and Fabregas to play but I expect to drop back tomorrow.

KevIRL · 20-09-2014 10:21PM

Jumped to 25K overall after todays update.

Amazingly lept to 32nd place in the overall rankings in Ultimate FPL after todays update

FHFC · 21-09-2014 12:10AM

Green arrows it's damn good to see yis lads....will be happy out if they can stay green after tomorrow.

wonski · 21-09-2014 12:26AM

Red arrows after 15 points but tomorrow is an important day.

Sterling's points did some damage.

km79 · 21-09-2014 12:28AM

I've drunkenly come to the conclusion Wilfried Bony wants to destroy my season

after GW 1 I transferred him in for Jovetic as Bony had 2 home fixtures. He gets 2 points GW 2 jovetic gets 2 goals and 3 BP.
I don't want to give up on him though but want jovstic back as city have stoke at home so I transfer Costa out (injured I thought) instead of bony......bony blank jovetic blank Costa goals!
gw 4 sell bony. he is dropped I'm happy. comes on gets assist .I'm not happy
gw5........I captain siggy....he fails go convert siggy corner for a captains assist then gets sent off.......Swansea enter retreat mode costing me captain points and Taylor clean sheet
I may have to rename myteam from "My Little Bony"

25 pts. 5 to play including (C) Costa.

That's about average I'd say. Could have been a lot worse had I have the time to change Clyne for Pieters. Have to thank Busts for the original advice :cool:. The other ones were not wrong though but sometimes things just don't work out as they should.

Looks like again I made the wrong GK choice by going with DeGea for the first 3 games and now with the Newcastle lads... Last year it cost me a top 1k finish, this year 12 pts (1 CS only) out of 5 GWs! 2.4 pts/GW is clearly not enough... ah well... what can I do :rolleyes:...

kronsington · 21-09-2014 01:22AM

just watchig MOTD.. some finsh from jelavic.. newcatsle are tripe this year

Danger781 · 21-09-2014 01:42AM

Ah Jesus lads I've only 9 points today

Reading all your scores of 20 - 40 makes me sad

3 Played, 8 to go..

That's a great score.. Who do you have? I'd be close to that if is captained Welbeck instead of bottling it late on. Hoping for Leicester to do the business tomorrow

Shanotheslayer · 21-09-2014 05:44AM

25 points with 5 to play... Altho likely my first sub will come for one so 27 points and 4 to play with Rooney(C),Fabregas,Costa,Naismith

Sterling's 10 is the difference between a good day and a bad day for many I'd imagine.

My budget defence delivers 15 points for the price of 17.5 mil for goalkeeper and three defenders. Taylor was very near 9 instead of 2. Duff and Aanholt deliver.

Although my defenders are a little more expensive (Clyne and Caulker), it's great to see such a return from non-premium defenders. I brought in Duff but left him on the bench but it's another move to a cheaper backline.

The Wild Bunch · 21-09-2014 08:37AM

A 0-0 in the Leicester City game would be beautiful

You have a Leicester defender today??

The more I look at Mannone on my bench and Krul on my team the more it drives me mad, I'm not sure if it was the right decision or not with the bookies etc but Newcastle have been so poor at the back and Burnley so toothless going forward that I think I should have gone the other way. The extra 9 points would be huge for me.

Nope I have Evans, Mata and Rooney.

A lot of lads in my league have Rooney captain or Di Maria -I'd like a shut out an no one to score points - captain Welbeck did the biz for me so an Evans clean sheet and maybe my Chelsea boys (Azpil, Fabregas, Costa) to do something would be perfect

The bookies had slimmer odds on a Newcastle cleanie than sunderland. I did a check on friday and it reaffirmed my decision to go with Krul over Mannone.

When I get around to it I will be getting rid of Krul for someone else....remove the tempatation ever to play him again.
