Absolutely, very little lost, a little disappointed because a lot of players I had in various draft teams scored well but I was very happy with the team I picked.

The person who will win this year probably made less than 40 this week:)
My 32 is just fine, thank God for Rooney and Defoe

PARlance · 10-08-2015 10:59PM

30 points. In years gone by I would be picking my WC. Which mightn't be a bad idea...

Just Theo for the chop, team value looks like it'll be important this year so can't stand by and watch him drop. Even though I think he'll play at the weekend. Think I've a day to mull it over.

When the scores update tonight.

q2ice · 10-08-2015 11:04PM

45 points thanks to Yaya. Hopefully he keeps the goal.

SlickRic · 10-08-2015 11:20PM

I'd be píssed if I had Silva.

eh i dunno · 10-08-2015 11:25PM

Happy with 47 considering I only decided to enter on Friday night.

Nib · 10-08-2015 11:30PM

45. Disappointed with yesterday and tonight, 6 points from 4 players after a great Saturday. Overall, ecstatic.

It will be interest to see how they treat any other deflections going forward,

Disappointing but in no way disastrous. This gameweek was so hit and miss really. Look at someone like Ville Ronka, despite never winning it he's easily the best player of the game in the last 6 or 7 years, he scored 29 points this week with only 1 of his players scoring 6 or more points (Azpilicueta). He has finished 277th, 90th, 4,668th, 1,631st, 362nd, 569th and 4,266th in his 7 years playing. This is his team, which if posted on here before 12:45pm on Saturday wouldn't have been given much criticism:

Where did he post that?

FHFC · 11-08-2015 12:12AM

A guy in the Moolah league some of us are in played bench boost with 2 non playing subs.

One was Mickey Turner, but still. 61 points and will probably top the table for the first and last time.

Mr P. is in the moolah league! :eek:

On a more serious note, i don't understand why fools like that even enter ultra competitive cash leagues. It's money pissed down the drain for them. Jammy git had Yaya and hart on the bench too!

Yeah. Although in fairness you'd hope that in playing that chip he at least had the cop on note to spend ages on tean selection!

As for your first question, i take it you're not complaining!

tom_k · 11-08-2015 01:15AM

34 points. Not bothered at at all, the race is long. I'm still happy enough with my team despite the misfires this GW. The one player I'm most concerned about is Sterling, I think his inclusion may have been a mistake.

AidySevenfold · 11-08-2015 01:21AM

would of won or at least drawn my H2H if Sterling the ****ebag could of scored that one in one in the first half

Lemlin · 11-08-2015 06:55AM

42 points. Happy with my team.

Necronomicon · 11-08-2015 07:02AM

34 points - not quite enough to avoid the millionaires club, but like others around that score have said it's certainly not a disaster for the week that's in it. Paully's post really puts things into perspective; the guy top of one of my money leagues scored a whopping 71, but if he posted his draft here on Friday it would have (rightly) been torn apart.

I don't know if I can say I'm happy with my team - early days, but there were worrying signs concerning one or two of my players - but certainly nothing that a couple of transfers over the next couple of GWs won't solve (hopefully!).

basillarkin · 11-08-2015 08:55AM

Anyone get an email back from the powers that be re the Silva goal

Griever931 · 11-08-2015 09:03AM

27 points, not the best of starts but I am not that bothered and wont be making any panic transfers yet.

Yeah, they said that Opta have determined that Yaya scored it so it won't be changed. I haven't seen the goal yet but it sounds like the Dubious Goals panel may eventually give it to Silva. Oh well, those 8 points would have been nice but I'm still happy with 42

27 all in.

For those unhappy with their gameweek - have belief in your research and hold fire on making any rash decisions for the next 2 GW's at least IMO.

This time last year Villa were keeping a clean sheet at Stoke, Austin was missing a penalty against Hull who themselves kept a clean sheet on the road, Dier had scored the winner at West Ham, while Lee Cattermole had smacked one in against West Brom.

The top 5 scorers in every position this week are: GK's - Adrian, Romero, Guzan, Hart, Mignolet. DEF's - Kompany, Gomez, Smalling, Delaney, Amavi. MID's - Mahrez, Albrighton, Yaya, Cabaye, Ayew. FOR - Kone, Cisse, Zarate, Igahlo, Gomis. There's just no way any serious player will have too many of those players in their teams.

It's a long, long 37 GW's ahead.

Nice post. I'd say many needed this too. wp

SlickRic · 11-08-2015 09:19AM

30 points.

McCarthy in so I've 11 for GW2. with the help of some advice in here (especially Paully), I'm going to be patient for another week.

I'm going to hold fire on Walcott, while also trusting Rooney will out score Aguero over the next 2 GWs.

bicboy6666 · 11-08-2015 09:22AM

51 points - think i have a solid team.
rooney cabaye silva clyne redmond and clyne putting in shifts this week.

Clyne put in two shifts for you?? Flukey :pac:

Invincible · 11-08-2015 09:34AM

Finished on 39 for the week, Azpi,Shaw & Silva with 6pts each, poor returns from Czech & Hazard ©. Rooney lucky with his assist!
