Same here but it's 31 (-4).
A lot riding on Captekkers.

Not often I'm delighted by 17 from 4 players, but when it adds 50% to my overall score it's a glorious day!

Invincible · 16-08-2015 07:08PM

52 pts with Henderson left, thank's to Capt Silva!

Necronomicon · 16-08-2015 07:14PM

30 points with Gomez and Benteke(c) to play. Not great, not terrible.

This has truly been a blessed day.

I have scored an Assist. But that is not all!!! 2 bonus. I have hit 20 and still have 2 to play!!!

A great day indeed.

You've played this game longer than myself, and longer than most.

Do you remember a start to a season quite like this?

prettyboy81 · 16-08-2015 07:16PM

20pts with Captain Coutinho, Benteke & Gomez to play.

manual_man · 16-08-2015 07:18PM

36 with Gomez and Benteke(C) to go. 32 out of 36 of those points from midfield. perma-captain Kun already transferred in for next week for a -4

20 of my 33 this week and 20 of my 37 last week came from GK/Defenders! Just need to my midfielders & attackers to get going and i'm sorted!

Sooner or Later · 16-08-2015 07:25PM

22 with Gomez, Milner and Benteke (c) to play

Sorry to cut in, I'm playing a decade this year (since 05-06) and don't remember any season like this.

I'm on only 82 points this evening from the two GWs with just Tekkers to go and I'm more than happy with that seeing the situation others are in.

I do think things will revert to form though. For example, Chelsea may be in a bad patch but are the champions for a reason.

sheroman01 · 16-08-2015 07:30PM

Eugh, 27 (-4) with Francis(!) to go. Need Silva in my team. And now Aguero. Maybe a GW3 WC isn't too early!

Scorpion Sting · 16-08-2015 07:32PM

A miserable 20 from 10 players with just Henderson left. Darren Fletcher is my joint highest scorer on the bench with 3. Still yet to break the 50 point barrier. Wildcard already activated. The main positive is that things can't get much worse from my current situation.

iroced · 16-08-2015 07:43PM

I guess I'm one of the only one around here with a good start. On 50 pts (-4) right now with captain Benteke tomorrow.

So far my 4 pts hit to rearrange my unbalanced rushed GW1 team worked very well. Walcott & Bony (1 pt combined, 3 if I consider the autosub I'd have had) out for Payet & Benteke (9 pts already). Had I done nothing Kane was my captain. So any positive thing from Benteke tomorrow will make it a great week.

KevIRL · 16-08-2015 07:48PM

I don't think the start has been all that mad. Week 1 perhaps but stuff is starting to revert to somewhat more normal now.

Two recent seasons have had an unusual start with a DGW in GW1 cause of Chelsea in the supercup so that might be skewing things a bit.

km79 · 16-08-2015 07:57PM

36 with captain benteke to go
I'll settle for 50

The chips are throwing things out of balance at the moment. I'm seeing a lot of them already used in my various leagues.

PirateShampoo · 16-08-2015 07:59PM

40 with Clyne left, im happy enough.

Need to figure out what to do with Kane, im going to give him another week.

P.Walnuts · 16-08-2015 08:09PM

25 with captain Benteke to go

Wildcard activated

Mr.Prodston · 16-08-2015 08:20PM

38 with Gomez and the Henderbus to play. A quiet eve from Benteke would be nice.

Pleased though as things stand with this week, in terms of other peoples horror shows anyway. Ayew in for Theo paid off, Wessi who was only in ahead of Brad Johnson to enable Theo over Ramsey is also working thus far. While having Aguero from the start I feel was justified today even with just the one goal.

The less said about my defence and it's make up the better. I've got major issues with Mings and PVA while Gomez is far from guaranteed his place. That's before we get to double Norwich :P Better options to Pelle and Rooney should hopefully be clearer in a few weeks and they're capable of doing things in the meantime, as is Hazard who could be Sanchez or Silva in the next GW or 2.

Maybe I've got more fires I need to put out than I thought, but I will try to hold firm on the WC and take it week by week and make it to September. More problems could certainly reveal themselves between now and then.

FutureGuy · 16-08-2015 08:39PM

So after 2 weeks, my money league is being topped by a guy with the likes Falcao and Coleman. The same guy finishes around 300k ever year.

To see the teams 50 points ahead of be is hilarious. It's like they just decided to throw all indications of form out the window and do the exact opposite!!!

Meanwhile, the top 3 last year are in the bottom 5.

Mint Sauce · 16-08-2015 08:43PM

44 with Cpt Bentake and Henderson to play. Considering a 4 to 8 pt hit to make 3 to 4 changes to bring in Aguero. Knowing my luck at this game he will either get crippled or sent off.

Same. Never seen a year like it. Combined with the fact that the casual's favourite players have gone fcuking nuts, it's a disaster.

To conpound matters, ye may have noticed that if you autofilled your team, it selected some very good players instead of random muck. It means a lot of fun teams are about 40 ahead of me.

Currently on 46 points for the season.

thomasm · 16-08-2015 08:50PM

13 points with Henderson to play. Can't remember a worse week

SteelyDanJalapeno · 16-08-2015 08:52PM

No mins for Theo means Ritchie comes off my bench for tomorrow night, got Clyne too thou, so double edged sword.

Still hoping it's somehow a blessing

kronsington · 16-08-2015 08:53PM

28 with Milner to go.. Should have trusted my gut and ditched sterling and Walcott. Two of the most over hyped players I can recall ever. Can't figure out the best arsenal/Chelsea/ city mf combo between silva, haz, Sanchez, Ozil, toure, Fabregas. Difficult to fit the first three into the team

FHFC · 16-08-2015 08:54PM

41 with Gomez to play. 78 total. But for my sub order blooper GW1 I'd be looking at 90 and a very good start.

Have most of the hot players in that i want. Defence and gks need sorting soon but Wildcard almost certainly staying put for now.

DarraghF197 · 16-08-2015 08:55PM

19 points from 10 players. Still have Clyne to play tomorrow. Have got absolutely nothing from my XI bar a point for Cech saving thrice. Worst of all, the player I was considering ahead of Bolasie is on the bench with 9 points.
