The 36th Matchday Thread.

holy sweet baba jesus, so saturday morning i got up to select my captain, hazard or sanchez, hazard has nothing to play for and dont fancy sanchez as even though he is in form he has been hit and miss most of the season.....SOLD hazard to get kun in..... captained him and OMG

Second best Game Week Rank ever 13,647
Personal OR Record (from 138,000) to 76,665

Total 93 (-4) with sanchez and giroud still to go, 11 will get me a true century, delighted is an understatement...

75 points I beat my main rival by.

The poor Agueroless, Silvaless bastard.

Just touched inside the top 5k. Will most likely drop out again tomorrow though.

Main thing for tomorrow please is a GRU blank

Just broke into top 48,500 from 63000 yday.

86 with 3 Arsenal players to go

82 (-4) with Bellerin, Sanchez and Giroud leaves me just inside the top 31k on 30,966

Almost halved my rank from 2.9k to 1.6k; top 1k is 15 points off.

Smarty Pants on FPL Discovery told me, "On a more serious note, let’s take a look at the ownership stats:
Giroud 47,4%
Bellerín 33,1%
Ramsey 18,0%
Ospina 15,6%
Cazorla 15,5%
Özil 13,1%
Koscielny 11,8%

I guess only goals where Sanchez shares points with Giroud or Bellerin may turn out to be detrimental to your overall rank.
Even if Sanchez scores a goal assisted by, say, Ramsey, total ownership would be 74.4% + 8.2% + 18% = 100%, so it would still be a slightly good thing for you in terms of overall rank (18% out of those would be getting only 3 points for an assist while you’ll be getting 5 for a goal). But if Ramsey scores assisted by Sanchez that would be a slightly bad thing for you."

The big things will be Giroud blank and Swansea goal

Fingers crossed.

Dropped 500 places myself to 5600ish. Sanchez, Ramsey and Koscielny to play. If ever there was a time for big Laurie to chip in with a goal it would be now.

OR 666...😱😈

Up to 1.3k. Aim for the rest of the season is to catch that bastard who started in GW2.

92 (-4)....so happy Still have Sanchez and Giroud to play so hopefully hit the 100 mark

My captain scored 23 x 2 points and I still lost ground today. Feeling like a deflated beach ball

Second time I captain Aguero when he gets a bumper score, pity I had to wait almost 6 months since his last big score (4 goals). My own form just like his, great start and end but big dip in between.
78 (-8) with Sanchez left to play.
Swansea goal by Montero and Sanchez goal will do tomorrow. Too many have an Arsenal defender to play or even Giroud as captain!

A Kos goal tomorrow is needed badly 16 years ago wow thats scary

Sure is. The first game is an anniversary of something else for me so I always marks it's passing!

Benteke fail. Transfer fail.
Kane blank.

PVA 6+ pointer last on my bench. Ah well forgot to take into consideration Everton are on holidays :rolleyes:...

Not a good start despite Schlupp CS. Schmeichel largely outscoring Mignolet is something I didn't see coming when I got him in for GW32. Would have allowed me Kos or Mert in Arsenal defence. I hope I won't have to regret it...

Was on 14 (-4) from 7 games but only 4 players when I posted that... A moderate drop of 700 positions down to 16.7k. But if I want a top 10k finish can't really afford any fail now.


How a couple of games can change your gameweek :eek:. Terry - Sterling - Silva - Hazard - Agüero (C) see me up to 89 pts (-4) with a 11.6k overall rank. Reduced from 22 to 9 the gap to 10k. With 2 players to go (Sanchez & Bellerin - hopefully Wenger won't rotate any of them 2 -) and a top 10k 9.2 average "Players Played per Team" (from FPL discovery) if things go my way tomorrow I may reduce this gap even more.

Today was an almost perfect day. Aguero (C). Then Silva. His late goal was such a reward from all the faith I kept in him. Same with Agüero. Both repaid me weeks/months of confidence. Then Terry scored. And Chelsea conceded. Such perfection. Perfection would have been absolute if Sterling did bother giving me a little return. He's been such a useless tool for me. And he's using cash and lost me £0.1m (not that it really matters now but still). I should have gone for Henderson. Not only he got more points in the same while but he'd have allowed me even more flexibility in my team (especially regarding Arsenal defence).

Ah well. A great GW so far. Can't really complain for the things that didn't work.
