that won't work for me copper

Is there anything you don't know about FPL, you seem to be the best informed person of us all:)

As the season is nearly over can I ask what were peoples best memories/ favourite points hauls etc? I'd say mine was Tom Heatons penalty save and subsequent clean sheet and three bonus, I think that was my only ever pealty save in fpl, 15 points when that kick would have meant only 2 was beautiful, I may have enjoyed that more than Benteke's dgw although the latter was themaking of my season.

I got that Heaton peno save as well as part of a monster GW with Haz(c) against Hull. I also really enjoyed the Austin(c) hat trick + Terry first 15 pointer GW as well.

Mine has to be GW10: sold Siggy and Sterling for Downing and Haz(c) for -4. Most people captained Costa (who I didn't own) against QPR and he delivered a glorious blank. Hazard penalty, Downing goal+assist, and Chambers' 18 point haul gave me a massive jump into the top 10k where I've been ever since.

Not sure of my best but my worst springs to mind instantly

Having Kane on the bench when he played Chelsea!

gimmick

Worst, changing captain to Kane Vs Villa from Hazard Vs QPR at 11.29am

Kane did nothing, Hazard got a goal and bonus points. My lead was cut down by 40 points that gameweek.

Best - Agueros antics at the weekend. My closest opposition was closing in on me but didnt even have Aguero in his squad. I had him as captain. Should end his interest now. I am 70 clear. So barring the biggest collapse since Newcastle and Kevin Keegan, I should win that league.

I have also learned this season that every bit of tinkering I do on Saturday mornings actually costs me points.

This. This is my season. All decisions should be made, confirmed and left alone a good 30 minutes before deadline.

Especially when on your wildcard and it's a midweek game so you know some of the lineups

Best was getting Pelle right at the start of his early run before anyone else and captaining Aguero against Spurs for his 4 goals when many didn't.

In general getting my initial team pretty right on from the 1st week. Even if Austin did miss that penalty and then get injured. I saw his early potential :cool:

Lemlin

Best: Aguero at the weekend.
Worst: Changing my January wildcard at 10 o'clock on a Saturday morning. I had Bellerin and Kane and ended up with Pelle and Adam Johnson somehow in my team.
I also missed out on captaining Costa for the Swansea match and his hat trick. Swansea supporter here in work had told me to captain him. I went with Hazard who didn't even get an assist I don't think!

Ah here, everybody pretty much had Aguero the weekend just gone, there must have been more pleasurable hauls during the year.
Although I know that your highlight was the giant killing of week 4, before I got my bearings:pac:

My three rivals didn't and all of them were in the top 20k. One didn't even have him!

The highlights of my season so far..... doing the double over Mr P in FSA League 1. If i manage to survive the drop i can add that to the list too

My brother still refuses to get Aguero in since he's "too expensive." He and our mate are having a tight battle for 2nd in our ML while I'm over 400 points ahead

PARlance

Highlight: Getting the Costa conundrum right and Sanchezs early season explosion spot on.
Worst: My main rival finally getting Aguero in last Saturday morning and captaining him like myself. It was game over if he didn't make that move.
An honourable mention to my Costa out (v Everton) early on and bringing in Mario and giving him the armband.... If you can find a worse move than that I'd be surprised

I remember that fateful weekend too

highlight : benteke hat trick and my subsequent rise from 450 k to 98k this week
lowlight : the entire season up to that point

alchemist33

Best: captaning Benteke for his Dgw (captaining Aguero this week did nothing for my OR)
Worst: bringing BUIB in for Kane in January or making a mess of the Sanchez injury situation around February

KevIRL

Highlight - obertans first goal in 2 years the week I brought him in.

Best: Heaton's peno save and getting cazorla in at the perfect time both stick out, along with a few big captaincy hauls for aguero (x2), hazard, costa and austin (x2). Actually my total captain points is 528 which seems quite good.

Worst: Bringing baines in ahead of terry before terry went 8-8-15 and baines did the square root of fcuk all. I was all set to bring terry in, but had signed up for FFS membership that week. They predicted better returns for Baines so I changed my mind...haven't logged into FFS since! Getting the kane captaincy wrong the whole time, ditching sanchez early on before his big run and unbelievably not having a southampton defender up until about GW25, when I brought bertrand in for his red card also rank up there.

Iused2likebusts

Best- captain aguero's 4 goal haul in the early kick off against spurs
Worst- costa not in the squad against palace announced before the end of the city game above meaning a few rivals got the armband moved from costa to aguero.

Last nights late goal conceded for Kos was probably the 2nd worst as those extra points were sorely needed in a couple of pay leagues.

spock.

Best: Nothing massively stands out, but a few contenders:
Having Ivanovic from the start
Getting Pelle in at the perfect time
Cazorla's 34 points the week I brought him in.

Worst: The entire Christmas period, particularly my double up on Man City defence. Hart got rested, Zabaleta was absolutely useless.
They had easy fixtures, but conceded 2 in nearly every game.

iroced

I'd have to "analyse" more thoroughly my season for a fairer answer but so far

Best

Getting Silva in for City nice Christmas run. Associated with 3 great captain calls in a row (GW16 Hazard 28, GW17 Austin 34, GW18 Sanchez 20) this shot me up 130k positions up to 24k. I had a bad run which brought me down to 46k a few GWs later but I mainly stayed around 25k from that moment up to my recent rise to 12k. So that was a definite turning point in my season.

Getting Cazorla with my GW23 January WC and immediately giving him the armband for a 34 pts haul.

Going for Kane over Eriksen during my Jan WC.

I had Agüero captained for his 3 biggest scores but my overall captain failure this year will make me prioritise these 2 above moves I'm still pretty proud of . I'm not allowing me the same credits for the Kane > Eriksen decision since I don't think anyone could have predicted Kane's revelation this year.

Worst

There are the countless captain fails of course,

the premium def I couldn't get right (Baines, Zab, Jones, Berty, all at the wrong time despite them being largely expected to perform,

but ignoring DGW31 cost me 40 pts in a single GW.

Smartguy

Best

Silva over nasri in late November for a relatively cheap price was a big call and shot me up the rankings. Similarly dumping fabregas for hazard early on even though fab was scoring well.

My third cheapie striker early got me off to a good start. I have had Naismith, berahino, Austin (who I also captained for his hat ruck) at the right times. I switched to Kane in January which was a bit later than some but not as late as others!

Worst

Remy a few weeks back was shocking but I got away with it. I also had azpi at a couple of different stages and he promptly got sent off, dropped and injured in various games. I upgraded to jt then.

Loading up on Manu players early on did not work eg DDg, mata, Rooney. I did fx this quickly enough though.

kevthegaff

Best
having terry, haz and sanchez and boyd (who only played once)from the beginning
brnging in downing just when he got going and selling when others were still bringing him in.
Worst
di maria kept swapping for sterling and both scoring when out of team
has to be Phil F*****G Jones disaster brought him in after corner duty in fa cup

FHFC

Lots of highs and lows as ever for me.

Key low points are the Pelle/Kane cock up on Jan wildcard which cost me 30 points in three weeks. Also managing to studiously have Silva for his poor runs and sell him before huge scores, all the more annoying as he's a favourite FPL player of mine.

I ignored the Villa / QPR DGW like many, but don't really regret that, I think the team I had was decent, just bad luck that all three viable DGW players went nuts. Should probably have had Austin at least as insurance I suppose.

The other stupid thing I did was the infamous captaining of RVP over Aguero in GW14 costing me 14 points, salt rubbed in the wound by reversing this in GW15 when Aguero blanked and RVP got 13!! All was well in GW15 though as the RVP gamble finally payed out after Agueros injury and my best ever score of 100(-4) and a GW rank of 236.

Other very satisfying things were getting Sanchez in before the masses and perfectly timing getting Aguero for the Spurs demolition in GW8. Left 8m in the bank on the WC to upgrade from Ulloa and waited till after the Argentina friendlies in China before bringing him in and captaining.

Also very please to have picked Albrighton for Leicester mid cover, his stats and form were good so nice to spot him and get rewarded with a great differential. Same went for those who picked N'doye for the Hull DGW, that was a nice spot too.

Without too much "what if", even the RVP (c) and the Pelle disaster cost me 44 points for things I really shouldn't have done and would have me well within the top 2k.

jimmii

Best: Easily GW8 1,262 for the week the only time I have had a GW rank in the top 20k this year and led to a ranking jump of over 900k! That started the come back only 9 red arrows since then.

Worst: The first 7 weeks and bouncing around with a 7 digit rank and GW32s 3.4m GW rank that really set things back.

stephenl15

Best: Being 149 OR after captaining Austin for hattrick

Worst: This week. I captained Benteke over Aguero, effectively costing me a top 1k finish

Yes it did... Think if you hadn't captained him

Lemlin

One other highlight I can think of is bringing in Chambers in the weekend where he had a revelation of a game. Think he got a goal and an assist.

Gameweek 10 - 34 points from Chambers and Sanchez that week was very nice.
