On 41 with Lukaku(C) and Deulofeu to come, plus 6 from SImpson off the bench.

LMS safety score?

?
I have 51 points & its saying GR 1,003,896, Green arrow for OR 799K to 792K
with Lukaku left, need a blank from Barkley just to stay level

Im 51 😀 with 3 players

58 with lukaku and Barkly to play and butland of bench

Nice one mate!! Totally agree....

Hazard captainer here

Exactly this.

Since I captained Mahrez does that mean I can be a b@stard to everyone?

Kane, yes

Scored in his 2 previous visits to Hawthorns.
In form, cant remember exactly how many goals in how many games but very impressive.
West Brom conceded 4th most big chances over last 4 game weeks, with most conceded through the centre.

Hazard, no

Kane scored 1. Just sayin 🙂

Excellent work. I said similar yesterday. You take Sundays I'll take Sundays we'll let the lollers have Monday night football

Totally agree. Stoke 2-0 Man City, Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth and Newcastle 2-0 Liverpool individually are deal results that could screw someone's Gameweek. All oft them coming together on one weekend is a hard blow to take, but it doesn't invalidate that the players you mentioned were and still are viable captaincy options.

I'm just bitter because I sold Francis (6) and benched Wollscheid (6) to play Moreno (1) and Dawson (2) instead.

got lukaku cap, igahlo my v/c, as you say, a lot of the captain choices failed this week
my m/l had a lot more diffrent cap than normal, sure kane will be the big one next week ?

Firmino a better captaincy pick than KDB/Hazard/Kane
😎

It was also a week where many of us had strong fixtures for most players, meaning that a risky captain punt could be taken, with the possible failure offset by the rest of the team. I captained Hazard, and still rose 80,000 places to 145k. If it hadn't been him, I probably would have captained Ozil, so in the end it cost me 4 points. Had Hazard got that penalty though, his low ownership would have given me a significant boost up the rankings. It's the type of risk I'd take again tomorrow if I'm honest, though I might not try it again with Hazard specifically.

No to the first two. KDB will be this years Di Maria, his fantasy returns have quite fortunate.
Also, no reason in the world to think Hazard will magically pull Chelsea out of a their slump.

Yes to Kane & Firmino, great options this week.

Given Hazard's poor showing (blanked 9 games in a row), didnt even see him as a good option for the first 11 honestly. Given West Brom's defensive incline, might be logical to not captain Kane. My captain is Vardy and vice Lukaku. I also have Kane and KDB but honestly KDB away to stoke doesnt seem to be a good choice. Liverpool: Anyone can score even Milner, Henderson or even Moreno.

So we can gloat or moan(!) all we want but sometimes people over hope and if we look at things simply (not just stats) but how a team plays/what form they are in, we can roughly guess which players has a higher chance of doing well.

But it is still true Hazard could have gotten some points, as in his last 9 games.....

I agree, good points, Bowstring. I don't think I came across anyone genuinely putting up a half-decent argument saying Liverpool options as a whole were bad options (other then Stuurridge) vs the worst defense in the league. So many immature people coming out of the woodwork truing to get attention that they threw enough shite at a wall & something finally stuck.

Getting 12 points on a captain is a decent return for me..yes I'm talking about Ozil!

This is a game based on some arbitrary numbers based on the events of a football pitch often hundreds of miles away, if we can't have joshing around over the results* then why are we here? If you stand by your pick or your process then stand by it and come out fighting, tell people Hazard will come good or that your tables will come good and that you'll see them at seasons end. Half the scoutcast is Granville and Mark LOLing at each other, but that's fine and actually half the appeal of it. Deep down we all know mini-leagues/OR at season's end are all that really matter so enjoy the journey while you're on it. Nobody's going to get 37 green arrows.

*Of course we've got to show accountability on this and that's why most us have links in our profiles. In fact a call that blew up in my face is the whole reason behind my grav:

But that's okay because I can laugh at myself when I make a fool of myself.

People who captained any of these players I have sympathy for... people who benched Mahrez again...0 sympathy for

Where is the FFS embodiment of Captain Hindsight?

I actually enjoy Cap'n Hindsight's posts. He always manages to wind the minions up. I can see myself taking on this important role one day.
