    Good few boardsies on here that I can see. Not 100% sure what the weighted formula they use is. It definitely appears to be one that works in my favour because I didn’t expect to be as high as 48 given I’ve never had any top 1k finishes

    You have had 6 finishes inside the top 30k which is probably why you are so high. That is a very high standard, especially when you consider how many people are playing it now.

    I know, but whenever you see the post your history threads in here, there’s always guys who’ve had crazy finishes and a reasonable level of consistency also.

    Pick 2 to start of these 3?
    Cancelo (tot), Mitchell (bur), Justin (liv)

    "injury"

    Same as Rashford.

    I'd expect both to start this weekend for their clubs.

    Anyone else thinking Vardy as captain instead of one of the City lads next week?

    I am but only if I transfer him in for Kane.
    I already transferred out son so not sure if I want to get rid of Kane as well. Tempted to switch him for Vardy. Or maybe Watkins and a city mid.. decisions!

    Yes, I have the cash to do Werner to Vardy and am seriously considering it instead of selling Son for KDB.

    I actually brought Vardy in this week for Kane so it’s not whether to bring him in I’ve to worry about, literally just whether I captain him ahead of Sterling.

    I think I will.

    Guaita has been my “set and forget” for the season so far - incredibly frustrating. 10 pointer to start the season then no thing but late clean sheet wipeouts since then

    v Man United - conceded 80th minute consolation goal
    v Brighton - conceded injury time goal
    v Fulham - conceded injury time goal
    v Newcastle - conceded 88th, 90th min goal

    Most of those (like last night) were on for 3 BPS too. Keep telling myself his luck will turn but there’s only so long before a rage transfer takes over.

    West Brom next week will be the final straw I reckon

    In the same boat with a Palace defender- very frustrating for a side that are typically hard to break down. Will obviously keep for the West Brom game but time to move on then as fixtures turn.

    Was the same and just bit the bullet and sold him a few weeks ago for Mendy. Paid off the -4 in no time, people dont like changing GK but no point hanging onto one that can't keep a CS for the sake of a transfer imo

    Newcastle have cancelled training after a Covid outbreak. They're due to play Villa on Friday. I wonder what the Premier League will do, would they cancel the game? Reschedule to Monday to give Newcastle more time?

    In the NFL this weekend, one game got moved from Thursday night to the following Tuesday to allow a team recover. Another team weren't so lucky and had to play without a Quarterback (kinda like asking a Premier League team to play without any of their goalkeepers, and putting an outfielder in goal for a game)

    I think the rule is that they will have to play the young lads if needs be.


    I'm sure I read at the start of the season that if 14 players can be named in the matchday squad then the game needs to go ahead.


    As a Villa fan and Grealish/Martinez owner, I'm more than ok with this....

    Newcastle under 21s are in action as we speak in PL2 actually. So its hard to imagine them not having enough players to play.


    It certainly makes Villa players look like a great shout if the game does indeed happen though.

    It depends how many 1st teamers are out. Newcastle are more than capable of parking the bus really well on their day.

    They are, but if they’re missing training sessions etc they could be weak.

    I mean it’s a game I’d have expected Villa to win with a bit of change anyway, so every extra percentage point only adds to it.

    Nice.. I have triple villa for their good fixture run.

    On a separate note. Anyone know roughly when their double gw will be after the gw1 blank?
