After a few bad weeks, 77 sees me move from 109k to 28k! With a few big players still to play hope to see the ton.

AdpRo · 20-12-2014 08:41PM

67 after a 4 pt hit for Siggy and Costa out, Erikson and RVP in, super Charlie cpt, will be a good week if Costa stays quiet, should never have mafe the 2nd transfer!

NabyLadistheman · 20-12-2014 08:42PM

Wowzers! 65 with no hits. See's me rise from 40 odd to 16,000. Making some great gains the last few weeks. My first venture into the top 100,000 GW rankings. Chambers Sanchez & Costa to come tomorrow

basillarkin · 20-12-2014 08:43PM

Down to 7,576 but with zabalata to come in and Sanchez, hazard, Dummett and Costa all to play hopefully will jump back up a few places.

Capt bony today was a major fail but benteke, Zab, Yaya and Downing get me out of a hole

G1032 · 20-12-2014 08:47PM

I've been out all day since 7am. Haven't the will to read neck through this thread... Just too tired now.

Can someone classify my 42 points with 4 left to play?

Is it a disaster or have I got away with it somehow???

You benched Zabaleta? Who was your first choice if you don't mind me asking? Siggy?

It's bad if your captain has played, otherwise it's fairly typical.

You are doing just fine, depends on who is left to play, though.

Mint Sauce · 20-12-2014 08:51PM

Hard to know what to makeof this GW. Currently on 50 pts, including 20 from Cpt Downing, with 1pt to come of the bench. Sanchez, Costa, and Hazard to play.

Major down side though was Clichy not even featuring after bringing him in for Kompany, add to that Siggy and Duff remaining injured, and Schneiderlin suspeneded, meaning i will have no more than 10 players.

Dr. Bre · 20-12-2014 08:51PM

Charlie Austin - fast becoming a fantasy legend!

IsMiseMyself · 20-12-2014 08:52PM

Took quite a leap in the ranks and am finally back inside the 20ks. At 28k but it still counts. :pac: If I'd gone with Austin instead of RVP as captain this week, my God I'd be laughing. I didn't though so eh.

No Hutton was suspended, I didn't bother taking him out

Not great so.
Captain was RVP
Azpil, Hazard, Sanchez and Coloccini left to play

FrClintPower · 20-12-2014 09:01PM

48 (-4) for me, moves me up ~1,000 into the top 10k, but with only Terry, Hazard and Sanchez to come I'll be going backwards on Monday.

The Berty to Zabaleta part of the -4 worked out okay, but Benteke to Rooney (c) not so much. Austin for captain never came into my thinking though, might have gone for Bony or RVP, so at least I'm not beating myself up over that.

Now I would just like Costa, Fab and Giroud to all take it easy, not much to ask?

You'll probably be at the "real" average this week. 3 of the 4 players you have left are highly owned and Coloccini probably won't keep a cleanie. Not a disaster by any means though. The majority who had Austin didn't captain him like myself.

Right so. Minor surgery required tonight. Baines and Siggy out. Two City players in or perhaps a City mid and another Chelsea defender.

I'll probably go with Silva. Should have taken the - 4 last night to ditch Siggy for him.

Fair play. Just to clarify, I didn't doubt you got that score, I just wanted to see it for myself.

SlickRic · 20-12-2014 09:14PM

captained Sanchez against the club I support.

A nice 5-4 to Liverpool with Sterling doing nothing and Sanchez getting 4 would be just dandy.

Thank you FF gods.

Since he called it it would be fair if you post your score and team.

Not that it is required but I don't remember posts like this in the past.

Prove it Why would anyone post a fake score?

I probably should have phrased it better, I didn't doubt he got that score, I just wanted to see his team.
Btw here's my team.

Let's call it misunderstanding:D

I just didn't like the tone of it, but I guess it happens on the internet all the time. You want to make it as brief as possible and... you know the rest.

Fair play for showing your cards.

Mr. Guappa · 20-12-2014 09:30PM

61 points sees me rise from 53k to 22k. Still have Boyd to come in, plus Alexis, Hazard and Costa to play.

My two main decisions worked well this week - bringing in Zabaleta and captaining Charlie Austin. My main source of frustration is not having Downing - went with Eriksen over him when ADM got injured, Eriksen has done reasonably well but Downing is on fire.

Injury doubts over Duff, Siggy and Yun are not ideal, especially at this time of year. Ideally I would bank the next transfer then move Siggy and Baines out the following week, but I may need to act sooner.

FutureGuy · 20-12-2014 09:31PM

63-8 brings me from 11k to 5.5 k but I expect to drop by Monday.

Told the guy trailing me by 53 points to captain Austin and have egg on my face! Then I got more egg in my face by captaining RVP with 8 villa first teamers out

km79 · 20-12-2014 10:56PM

given the way the fixtures fell this week with most of my team away I just wanted not to lose too much ground and thanks to yaya captain I've manages that just about so far
31(-4) with terry hazard and giroud to go
wisdoms one of the bench due to a late change of sub order switching him with my perennial first sub Boyd

most of my players at home next week so hopefully don't lose too much ground this week and get my captain choice right again next week
Was soooooooo close to captaining Rooney this week and not taking the hit to get yaya in and captaining him
fellaini being sick made it an easy decision

Vila were only missing 3 first teamers not 8. Hutton at RB, Westwood and Cleverly in midfield.

Senderos, Richardson and Cole would be seen as squad players

TacT · 20-12-2014 11:08PM

you would still expect a mauling given recent luck and form! Can't believe I've only dropped 1k in the OR.
