Together with Haaland's scoring 2 goals last night I dropped down to the 6th position again. It doesn't look very possible for me to close the 16-point gap on the last week. Still I'm going to do my best. Tongue

When we think people in top 5 are going to win prizes I guess I'm the unluckiest person in this pool unfortunately. Still as I will win my rivalry with icopress unless there is a miracle on the last week, this will be a consolation for me.

Man don't be greedy, how can you be pushing me to the wall in the Bottler league and still pushing for the Top 5 in the main league. "You can't use one stone to kill tow birds" Grin

The good side of James red is Gusto is going to play full game and take clean sheet from Bournemouth. James almost eat up his Chelsea sheet tonight.

Trofo - Not taking a hit worked for both of us... Let's gooo!

I keep my score high this season from the gameweek 34, 159 points (-4), after this double week I then won this season with my record

I took a big risk this week and made 5 transfers by spending 16 points. It looks like this has worked so far. I have taken the 5th place back. I hope that I manage to win a prize by finishing the season in top 5. Otherwise this season is going to be a very big disappointment for me.

Heh Liverpool. Robbo didn't play so I should get a sub in, too bad I didn't arrange it right, could have been Walker but I get Anderson (2) haha.

3 goals and Watkins not among them. Damn me.

Raya was on 7 until last minute when he got yellow card for taking a bit long to return the ball. That was -1 point for yellow and dropping out from bonus points. Hate those last second point losses. But better that than clean sheet wipe out Grin

Hate them a bit less than recalculations like in F1, but yeah, hate that bit of random blemish on an otherwise great game.

What is the best total score we're chasing? 155 or sth like that?

I recall it was over 155 yeah during my highest scoring week. Too lazy to check who it was and won't remember if it's not me or Igehh

You two are the only ones with a full team of double-game week players, so you two have the best chance. While most of us around the top have 11 players yet to play you guys have 15. Should be enough for you. Especially now that our single GW guys did not do anything spectacular. Clean sheets from Arsenal and Everton and that is about it.

You'll be the one to ruin my chances. If we haven't discussed it, I think I would have kept Maddison instead of Richarlison - currently it's 4 points difference but if Richarlison does not recover it will be 6+.
Richarlison made more sense, agreed, it's just bad luck that he got injured.

I see that cls63 has negative points so yeah - I guess icopress and myself have the best chance of winning the round - although I don't like most of the fixtures my players have.

Was up for Icopress and am glad I did it, seems guy gave up on the competition when @Icopress found himself beyond the 10th position. Wouldn’t say it’s not a good season. [...]

I understood that I would not get into the top 5, so I made a big change in the team to prepare for this game week (I think it cost me 40-50 points). But I did it in advance so that my points would not be taken off this game week. Everything seems to be going great so far (the only competitor is cryptofrka).

The only thing that can stop me from winning this game week is if Palmer doesn't score in the next match and if Manchester United don't score a single goal. Even if everything goes well (which I don't really hope for), I need at least 160 to win the consolation prize.

40-50points deduction to get to this point, seemed like a plan that should strike gold in having to give up the contest for a consolation price. I guess there are many ways to win even while you’re under the radar. Had to revisit your team and seeing what is in place, including a DG bench boost, that’s something worth the try on nothing.

@Igebotz, finally got to get Jackson, he seemed promising amongst other contenders coupled with the DG but, at this point, his done nothing.

Jackson finding his confidence after the haircut: Cheesy

. Jackson has really good potential to be a super pick for next season if he can keep scoring.

Hair style did P. Pogba no good, funny N. Jackson followed same path. I guess the encouragement from the legend Didier D. did well to shape him in the last days of this season.

Trofo I picked Haaland following your speculations of on the rise, hope he touches golf in their second fixture.

Gvardiol got the highlight of the game against Fulham, not Haaland. Gvardiol looks to be taking shooting practice.

He’s the trick for the DG so far, just don’t know how I didn’t crack that one and went for Walker instead. He’s made a huge difference this week.

Heh, I really should have paid more attention, so few points, but luckily Saliba didn't do as badly as Saka. Clean sheets as Trofo said from Everton was a bit over average but even Raya only got 5 points from his clean sheet.

Would have liked a few more points, now with so few left, I think I'll be stuck in this 3rd place, bottling it as bottlers do. Story of my life, I guess.

I think there are a few others ready to mess up our plans. cls63 looks a bit ahead, it will all come down to the captains I think.
That's the main reason I went with Jackson - Haaland was the safe choice but wouldn't be much of a differentiator.

If you ask me, none of us is winning this - but it will be close.

Ohh man how many asses saved by Gvardiol, two goals from a defender is so much and really so much dificult to counter if you dont have him in your team like me.

Good week so far until now for me asides of my bench boost played. Climbing to finish on top 10 still possible, Fuck why i dont play more seriously in the first stage of the season.

Lol…, am saying the same thing to myself just now, it’s over to next season. My brother @Igebotz did mention it and I didn’t give it good attention then, I find myself doing it again, with at least a game chip not to use. I really do keep doing that, thanks to the FPL policy, it’s my second season in the game though so, I won’t take too much of it but, am sure to feature next season and @Trofo, it’s going to be game on you,,, out for the big fish now.

This is my first season here as well, and I spent the most of this season making observations. Next season, I would have gained some better experience to compete at a higher level.

Whoops. Another week of forgotten picks. Not that I might have done very much different, but do wish I remwmbered before this busy weekend.

-24 off first position what??

Yeah a better chance of making it to the Top. It's called a Bottler league for a reason.

Halaand fck off....

+ Wilson, Isak, Gordon, Son, Richi, Trippier, every Brighton asset and Walker.

At this point I'll just write off all Manchester United players already.

Only winners here are Everton, Crystal Palace, and I guess Chelsea assets (except Palmer I'll predict)

See you next season indeed Igebotz Grin

As usual, lately, I am a bit lazy in proclaiming GW winners since they finish too late for the free bet to arrive on Monday anyway. So to keep with tradition, congratulations to morvillz7z. Getting 123 points in normal GW without using a chip is impressive. Brentford's defense was the choice that clinched it for you, don't think anybody else has double Brentford's defense at this stage of the season. 1 mBTC free bet coming your way on Monday.

NotATether and CLS63 both taking -16 to match 80% of what I already have. I love this..... Grin

Same here, got back the first position in the pool just on not taking hits this week. Now let's see if it was worth it. I was contemplating taking -4 to take Richarlison instead of Saka but that was scrapped with hints of Richarlison injury so I kept Saka. Then the only other transfer I wanted was Muniz to Romero for -4. Let's see if I made good or bad choices.

The only one not taking a hit in the top 7 looks good before games start.

I moved out Saka for Gordon before his injury rumors earlier this week, wanted to roll over the FT but Gordon DGW was too tempting not to take. He got snubbed for the Young POTY nomination so he's going to send the FA a strong message with a brace this weekend.

Taking -4 for Petrovic was another situation since yesterday but decided to keep faith in Dubravka for the last time this season. Cls63 BB looks terrifying can't lie.

Buwaytress -24 off first position (-0)hit
CLS63 -30 off first position after taking -16 hit.
NotATether -58 off first position after taking -16 hit

Interesting....
