He should start

He will start vs Everton, and that's the one game he will start in PL until the next DGW imo

Aye, taking Bolassie out for Milner and then seeing him wipe out 2 clean sheets ...... 🙁

Transferring out Gomes in last week's wildcard, having had him all season :/

Mignolet. By the time the gameweek started i was bench boosting almost entirely for the fun of playing two dgw keepers

1.having both lukaku and martial not playing the 1st game of the dgw
2.capping sanchez ahead of kun (even though i still think it was the better play)

As a very fortunate Bolasie owner I beg to differ.

Doubling up on Cou + Firm. Wanted Firm only but he was recovering from injury at the time so went with both. So much money tied up in both and serious doubts about what team LFC will be fielding this weekend

Bolasie goal cost me 10 points too, could have done with that with my rival breathing down my neck

That Bolasie goal, yes. Something like 12 with baps lost here too.

Where to start!

Martial (C), Lukaku, Lanzini, Milner, Coutinho and Mignolet all of the bench after BBing all while my rivals have Gomes and Cresswell on theirs and Sanchez as triple captain.
The biggest frustration I think has to be the lack of excitement in the games due to lack of involvement.
I'm reading a lot of great scores and feel like I've tripped over a black cat this weekend. Anyone else with similar tales of woe?

not captaining Aguero was stupid as, rotation scrambled my brain.

The Bolasie goal for me too. Monreal and Gabriel would have got me at least 3 bonus points, on top of the 9 clean sheet points.

Both ml rivals playing Gomes and one TCing Kun.

we're horrific so we'll be lucky if he gets anything on Thursday.

Ruled out

not until they have top 4

Wouldnt surprise me. But as I dont have him I am rather hoping he doesnt play!

reckon he'll miss Stoke.

I just want to win my MLs. OR is just an added bonus - but sure it'd help you if you target, say top 10k every year.

It's one thing to always want to do better. But it does not mean that I wasn't doing absolutely awfully now and that I wouldn't be much more content if I did better.

A lot of games are like that, keeps you striving for improvement

That's good self-analysis there. Yeah, sounds like addiction. (Luckily, to something that won't kill you or cost you your house.)

Last year I realised I was spending way too much time on it, it was eating into my real life, so I had to walk away (which is why my rank last year is so lousy: I didn't look at my team for the last months of the season).

This year I'm deliberately using it as Zen practice: I'm trying to accept everything, not get caught up in the drama of my emotions (or of the emotions that can rage across this site). Success and failure are just ideas in my head. Paradoxically, that has led to my highest ever rank. Go figure.

If it helps: none of this really matters. It's just a game. And we all die in the end.

That is, of course, in condition that all my DGW'rs actually get at least one match this GW. As it stands, there's a good chance that I will need no fingers to count points from my bench.

Anyway, I don't mean to complain personally, I know most of you are having the same situation. It's more like an effort to catch a common feeling.

I have my gripes too. There's nothing we could do, even the people who got lucky. It was just a crapshoot at the end of the day

Sell sell sell, even for a hit. Not much else to do

Ye, Briana Banks in her hay days saw less action

If toure is out then at least sakho or lovren will have to play in the league. I'm not sure on coutinho though

Sakho i'm going to have to just sit on the bench i think and hope, Coutinho though has to be first out.

Ozil?

Can look at Pedro @ 8.8. Plays DGW 37 too.

I still think west brom concede a lot to midfielders. So in that case back to alli or eriksen as a punt

Mane?

(swa)*

No, not madness. It makes sense. I'm thinking of defoe or costa

If there is a choice between having Aguero and not having Aguero I tend to go with having him. It's rare I regret that decision, not sure if those who go without feel the same way.

I'm Aguero-less now, allowed for KDB and Sanchez instead of Barkley and Coutinho, still on 61 points for the week so far without bench boost, so it's not all bad

Man City vs Ars should be a "afraid to lose" 0-0/0-1 game.
Aka most likely more than 5.5 goals

I'm probably selling him too for Lukaku in gw36

Somehow green despite a -12, a no show and 3x 1 pt cameos.

Red, after 9 straights greens 🙁

Small green. But it could've been so much bigger (damn you Bolasie and Arse defence)

tiny green. Bench boost would've been better than my triple captaincy decision so far

49k -> 46k thanks to my 8 point BB 😎

Top 5K 😎

Surprisingly green but I don't feel I deserve it.

Green out of nowhere. Would even have been dark green if it wasn't for that Bolasie fluke

Mostly greens all round! Hoping for a massive haul in the second round of games!

1,200 -> 600 quite surprisingly for me with 80(-8).

Red ..... Been thrown out of the top 10,000 🙁

In a draft league so don't really care about my ranking and it'd be impossible for me to have a good one but climbed from 733k to 598k this week so far!

Solid green so far. 9.4K -> 5.2K

On 88pts so a healthy green for me, OR from 40k to 15k so happy with that with 15 still to play (hopefully). Major worry is the damage Spurs will do tonight though.

Big green so far, went from 207k > 122k and currently with a GW rank of 20k.

Hoping that they do it all again, will be disappointed about Nasri's injury if it's long term

I've removed Khazri as an option after that game.
Defoe, and maybe PvA/Kirchhoff

Why would DDG or Lanzini not play?

Don't get me started.....
👿

It was quite funny when it went in, such a tame shot, the guy a lot of us got rid of when we all had 2 Arsenal defenders.

I laughed 🙂

was thinking the same with Vardy > Kane.

I think I'll go for it.

teams with 3 SPURS will rip us apart tonight 🙁

Sturridge and Firm owner here.

Gomes 😉

I'm looking to bring one in too but they really have no good midfield options, maybe MVilla?

I'm probably getting Pelle, will slap the armband on him too!

Now that their relegation is sealed, i actually think that Villa might become a tougher opponent. About Liverpool: i have NO clue, better ask a Pool fan 😉

He'll do nothing then score in August next season.

no funds for PVA.. going Kirchhoff route

Think I'm getting him this week for Delaney.

Although I do think I'll be taking a hit somewhere for a Spurs player - Alli or Kane

Already rolling with him...he's my highest scoring defender too!

A smalling hatty for my triple captain... Ok just one goal and a clean sheet and i will be extatic

You do realise this season doesn't rollover into the next.

That's not the best way to think about it, everyone below you will be trying to get past you. they'll be taking punts on costa etc. The template works over the long period but any gameweek can be different

mail the FPL towers mate 😉

Bench boost is outscoring TC (for me personally) by 2 points currently. Be interesting to see how it works out.

Need to take 37 into account too

I'm down 9 points by playing triple captain

And how we were laughing at all those fool who used theirs on a single gameweek 🙁

If all players played, then BB was a no-brainer!!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Who knew Chelsea would bend over for Aguero?

Although just be thankful the percentage of Triplers is very small this DGW.

Most people's real issues is their WC selection or the poor nature of it.

Yeah it was.aguero sanchez sturridge were all good options.
