          13 hours, 59 mins ago

          It's been given to Keane for some reason

          1. The Bandit

            13 hours, 56 mins ago

            lol yeah. It hit Keane on the back and deflected to Rohl miles away 😆

  7. All Hail K

    • 16 Years

    Dunk almost an own goal from an own assist.

  8. Jafooli

    What would be interesting to see is which FPL player (out of 13m) has climbed the most places from their GW1 rank. Or better still which top 1k player has come from the lowest rank after about GW5, once templates start to settle.

    See if their strategy was anything specific.

    Boffins over to you…

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      13 hours, 57 mins ago

      *current OR 1k

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      13 hours, 54 mins ago

      If you're looking for someone who did the exact opposite of that, I'm your man.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        13 hours, 49 mins ago

        Show your maths, I’ll be giving you a run for your money 😉

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      13 hours, 44 mins ago

      I’m doing alright and my biggest gain weeks have been sheer luck, missing deadline when I wanted to sell Thiago and he scored 5 in 2, accidentally leaving captain on Palmer when he hauled etc etc

      Any week I’ve remembered or not made a mistake I’ve had small greens or small reds/greys

      Actually put me off playing moving forwards because don’t feel I deserve it.
      Was same in Kane/Son season when I finished top 200

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        13 hours, 43 mins ago

        A lot of people in that position would claim it’s skill but I’m being brutally honest, you genuinely gain by freakish results and events, usually unexpected therefore if you gain it’s either an accident or a risky punt.

  14. fusen

    The penultimate gameweek having few goals which brings down the average goals per gameweek which then makes it easier for the final gameweek to have more goals than average

    *Temple tap gif*
