[Nugent]

Anyone played their wildcard yet? After a poor couple of weeks a couple of suspensions/injuries I've activated mine. 

 

Slightly worried about not having Lukaku but it allows me to have Firmino rather than a budget third striker, and I guess you can't fit all the big boys in the team! Keeping an eye on Sanchez/Hazard for the next few weeks too.

 

Going to rotate between Elliot and Fabianski in goal depending on who's at home/has the easier fixture.

I played my free hit this weekend, put three West Brom defenders in!! Took out Mendy and Stones aswell. Played my wildcard this week because I can't help tinkering with my team.

What is a free hit?

You can make unlimited free transfers like a wildcard, but at the end of the game week your team reverts back to what it was before the game week.

I'm playing mine this week. Had a great first week when I hit 80 plus, but since I've only been hitting 40's and 50's. I've also got 3 injuries and 1 suspension (Mane) so it justifies playing the wildcard.

Forgot to swap out Pogba 

 

Bye bye first place

Used the wildcard this week, to many injuries and suspensions and not enough big hitters. 

 

Pretty happy i managed a strikeforce of lukaku aguero and vards, hoping to start climbing the FT league now. I'm down in 30s so work to do

You did well there!

 

Of course, I'm drunk so looks fine to me 

[lgfualol]

91 points after using my wildcard, very happy despite having Fabianski and Naughton on the bench. Jumped 800k places globally in one week.

304 points and sober now ! happy 

[glenny_fox]

I'm sitting at the top of the pile on 318 points. Would of been alot better this week if I hadn't un-captained Aguero and subbed Alderwieweld for Davies. Other than that I can't complain

Moved up to 1st this weekend, absolutely loving it this year. Normally I have a very indifferent start so nice that everything seems to be going my way for once  (touch wood)

 

Need Morata to come back from injury pretty quick or I might have to take another hit to rejig my forward options. 

 

Despite our fixtures I'm struggling with whether I should persist with Maguire (and to a lesser extent, Vardy) but not sure where the value is with replacements.

FFS and I also picked Morata as captain this week  I give up...

[Xen]

Top 2.5k OR. 

 

Wow. Highest ever finish was top 200k when we won the Prem (had Vardy/Mahrez from gw1). 

 

Putting a lot more thought into it this year, but I'd by lying if I didn't say I've had a lot of lucky breaks. Damn. 

 

Can guarantee I'll start dropping off now that I've said that haha

[foxoffderby]

Gw 10 

0 changes going to do 2 next week.

Got to better this week 39 points after a 4 point hit.

Kane being out is going to hurt a few people this week 

 

[Xen]

A lot of people taking hits to get rid of Kane, from what I've heard.

 

Seems bizarre. It's only minor so he'll likely be back next week for the match against Palace, which is probably the easiest on paper. Then there's an international break so he'll definitely be back after that.

 

Had to switch my captain though, so hoping Vardy gets some form back tomorrow.

 

This week could go either way, have a feeling I'll drop back a bit in the rankings...

[Xen]

Ended up having a stormer with Vardy as captain. Up to the top 750 overall and still got 9 points from Jones to come off the bench and Elliot still to play. 

 

This has been a ridiculous year for me so far... O.o

[foxoffderby]

63 points

made Kolasinic capo 28 point haul 1 goal and a assist 

 

good week overall
