Anyone thinking about West Ham defence (after next week)? Thr question would be who to get. Maybe just plump for Cresswell and play every GW since they have two unexpected cleanies

Is there a 4.5? I assume guess not.

If spending 5 or 5.5 I'd have Bellerin first. Already have kol and shaw.

Nope. Tomkins, Reid, Ogbonna, and Jenko all 5.0. I have Lord Aleks and Bellerin already. Not interested in ManU defence

Just to illustrate what kind of a season this is, it's the first year for the leader of my work league. Here's the squad he hasn't touched since GW1:

Schwarzer (v)/ (Hart)
Mbemba/ Angella/ Cathcart (Gomez/Roberge)
Siggy/Mata/Hazard/Roberts (Sterling)
Kane/Pelle/Giroud (c)

Every week, Hart comes off his bench to save him. Or Sterling, or Gomez. When will this madness end???

This lad in my work league triple captained Payet. WTF? GW 4 he captained Sterling, GW 3 he captained Gomis, GW 2 he captained Benteke and GW 1 he captained Lukaku. He also managed to get Barkley's GW 2 haul by bringing him in GW 2 and getting rid of him GW 3. I think the lad is psychic.

Bizarre triple captain decision aside he's actually got a decent team so I'd be a little worried about him racing off into this lead.

5 weeks in, my captain haul is 9 points...

Doubled to 18 of course, but yes...

1 - Hazard - 2
2 - Rooney - 2
3 - Aguero - 2
4 - Aguero - 2
5 - Aguero - 1

Currently languishing wayyyyyy down in 2,981,207th place, having finished in the top 10k last season.

It is not going well!

If it's any solace, a very high percentage of decent players will be with you on at least some of the Aguero fails.

How many points does he have though? Doesn't look high standard even with the lucky antosubs ...

How many points though? One good captain call could see you jump 1m positions at this stage of the season .

I had the exact captains same except for Benteke week 2 (9 PTs!!!). Probably as a result I am about 1.2M!

Giroud has two goals as his captain which probably doubles a good amount of "serious" player's. Mbemba had an 8 pointer at OT, Cathcart has 3 cleanies, Gomez 3 cleanies and an assist, Mata and Pelle have done well. I'm sure that team is comfortably ahead of my own

Hmmm... Just heard Philippe Auclair (French pundit for the PL) about Liverpool situation. He noted (the obvious but I did not realise it that clearly :eek:) that they only scored 3 goals so far: a Coutinho 25m belter, a fantastic Benteke overhead kick and an offside Benteke goal. They propose almost nothing attacking-wise.
I'm having second thoughts about Benteke now, even if it's 'Pool & Benteke toy-team that's coming to Anfield...

In Portugal since Saturday so have missed out on a lot of fpl talk.
What's the verdict on Depay?
He was subbed off at HT? Injury or just playing poor?

Basically just looking for someone to tell me to sell him.

Held my horses... will wait until CL games are over as he should survive a drop before then.

Might take a gamble and go for either Ritchie or Coutinho.

Looking at images/replays: yes, definitely. Only a matter of how long he'll be out for.

Edit: here's an image, it's not pleasant though, don't look if you're screamish!

Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test
