WHU606 Premier League Fantasy Football for 2017-18

MrsGrey

Looks like it's the whole FF(46 was average last week, for example in FF and the score used in the H2H)

IronHerb

Ta very much.

MrsGrey

Right, I've Wildcarded in my Budget team. Only GKs and 3 outfield players kept their places ;wahoo

Draft - 3 new players signed on waivers.

Main team, still a shambles. Nothing I do seems to help, so I'm leaving it alone this week and at least not spending any points. ;doh

So, in a last minute attack of baz-itis, I transferred out Aguero + brought in Vardy.

Oh, did I mention I also captained him?

;doh

Expat_Hammer

No need Mrs G, I've got one already ;whistle

Bazshuayi

I think I heard the crowd chant 'you dont know what you're doing' and there's going to be a protest outside the ground at 5.30pm ;wahoo

MrsGrey

I also have the full confidence of the Board. ;weep

Bazshuayi

Lukerz

Used my free hit this week. That’s more like it:

Bazshuayi

I made a rookie mistake... Moved in Salah earlier in the week. I made him captain and also moved Lowton into my defence for Cedric BUT did not save the team!! ;doh So that's already cost me 13 points for the captaincy and 4 points for a clean sheet.

The other half did both of those things ( already had Salah and Mee in first 11 ) which meant that she's moved in front of me points wise now. I'm trying hard to resist mentioning that she asks what to do every week and usually copies most of my moves... Being a West Ham supporter very much tests ones patience!

baz ;nonono Schoolboy error!

Bazshuayi

Yes, I couldve used those 17 points for Bazfers ;lol

MrsGrey

;lol

Check out the player who has the highest points in the game this week (88).

;nonono ;hmm ;doh ;poormf

Bazshuayi

Yes, he makes me seem a little tentative in the TF market ;hmm

Bazshuayi

My Skysports team is really doing well! I'm up to 110th over all and I still have 6 players this week to play today! Woohoo! ;wahoo

Bazshuayi

please ignore that I have only 8 TFs left for the whole season ;whistle ;weep

I so need hardly anyone to get injured for months ;lol

MrsGrey

Eight!?

;lol

MrsGrey

From looking now and again at the main FF 'highest points' people (on a single day, not the oevrall current leaders), I have noticed that there are a lot of people who only want to reach number 1, however fleetingly. Just so they can be top, even for a single day (never mind a GW).

So for example, there are many who register a new account that GW, just for that GW.

Then they (say) pick all their players from the teams playing on the Saturday, and play their bench boost or triple captain. That way they maximise their chances of being top at the end of Saturday.

Weird.

Bazshuayi

Kolasinac got injured last week and errm there were 31 other reasons why I had to get to a settled team ( 2 were on Kane and Aguero when they got injured then came back so thats 27 unexplained ones) ;whistle

I'll be fine if I only use 1 a month hehehe

SuzanneClaret

I’ve had a total stinker so far ;weep

Bazshuayi

Sluzanne Bilic out! ;run

make that just 13 schoolboy errors instead of the original 17 ;biggrin ;phew

MrsGrey

Kane 2 points.

Bazshuayi

Plenty of Kane captaincy people out there I bet ;hmm He didnt look fit after recent injury and the kick he got

Expat_Hammer

Fantasy Football ................ I have this wild unimaginable fantasy of beating Average from time to time ;weep

Expat_Hammer

A 0-0 for the chav game with de gea making 4312 saves for me

Bazshuayi

After 45 (successful or attempted) transactions in the draft game I now at last have a formidable forward line ;biggrin Benteke wont score for 10 games and Ibra will not play much for 10 games (I planned to bring him in weeks before he was fit to make sure I got him and all of a sudden hes in squad!) and Jesus will be dropped every other game... However, after transferring Vardy out for Gabbiadini in the first gameweek and then seeing him score 2 against Arsenal ;doh (I probably should've been sacked just for that) its taken this long to get some quality in!

I noticed he was in the squad and swooped....

only to find you got there first. ;fishslap

My draft squad is a shambles. I can hardly summon up the bovvered to tinker ;weep

Bazshuayi

I put him as first transaction at the start of the week thinking I had time. Then all this in the squad business made me wonder if youd get first pick over me and steal him from my cunning plan grasp ;wink

Considering I have no Kane, Lukaku, Aguero. Morata, deBruyne, Sane. Sterling, Sanchez, Hazard, Coutinho, Alli, Eriksen, Pogba. Lacazette i'm pretty happy with my squad. Having Ibra and Benteke added to Mane (when hes fit or not being sent off), Salah (gambled he'd do well so I stuck him high up on my original list) and Jesus alongside the best goalkeeper is a coup. I think for the first time this season I am actually happy with 15 decent squad players ( so let the injuries. poor form and dismissals commence) and looking up the league rather than down

Out of your squad I'd steal Kane and Richarlison ;biggrin I think i'll put Ibra on bench and see how many he scores when coming on with 20 minutes to go ;wahoo
