[Lord Camomile]

Guess who brought in and captained Sterling for City's double gameweek.

Fuck's sake

 

[big eejit]

Meanwhile , my opponent has also played triple captain on 2 game aguero

Aguero TC wasn't the points heffalump that people expected / feared.

 

[Lazy Llama]

Only 4 matches in this game week. Anyone actually able to field 11 players?

I don't think he can field a full eleven, but the guy at the top of my work league has a frustratingly large number playing this gameweek

I think I've got 7 starters at the moment. And that's with a 4 point hit.

I could wildcard to bring in a full 11 but there's a lot of strong teams missing this week so that seems a bit short term.

 

[butchersapron]

I have 11 out - my H2H has none.

I was hoping you'd forget to make lukaku captain

 

[starfish]

Im playing Average this week. Not sure how much tinkering i can be bothered with or reguire to do to ensure a win.

Glad I captained him this week!

I did some analysis of the likely double gameweeks yesterday, and concluded that week 34 would be quite rubbish, especially compared to last year. I see that they published the actual games for week 34 today and although they've picked differently compared to what I came up with, its still really rubbish.

I had a really great March for points but the way the double gameweeks are looking it wont be possible for me to pull off some miraculous scores near the end of this season like I did last year.

 

[Steel Icarus]

That deafening clicking noise is the sound of half a million team owners frantically transferring Seamus Coleman out while trying to keep their breakfast down.
Poor lad, looks a very bad one, in the form of his life too.

 

[starfish]

So who has done what this week? Ive swapped out Coleman for Alonso & am contemplating another swap but not sure whom.

 

[elbows]

Well I didnt do all that much this week by my transfer standards, but I have now activated my wildcard and splashed out.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Did not know there was a midweek round of matches

 

[butchersapron]

If not king, then king maker.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bloody hell. I let "Palace don't have a home win against Arsenal since 1979" seduce me, and forgot it was Allardyce against Wenger Picked Welbeck over Firmino

 

[Fez909]

I had King, Zaha, Alonso and Lukaku. I captained Sanchez

Fucking Walker and Valencia as well

 

[Lord Camomile]

Picked Welbeck over Firmino

Wait, no, I had them both

 

[Lord Camomile]

I had King, Zaha, Alonso and Lukaku. I captained Sanchez

Probably doesn't help much, but I didn't captain Alonso or Lukaku either, and had Walker and Baines getting me a grand total of zilch in defence.

I did slightly better in defence, and luckily I have the twin powerhouses of Negredo and Phillips to be subbed in for an extra +1 each :/

 

[Fez909]

Or do I?

That would leave me with only 2 defenders. Is that allowed?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Pretty sure not, otherwise I'd be looking at Davies coming off the bench with 7 points

 

[Fez909]

Sad times...

 

[Lord Camomile]

And people complain about politics, as if that ever mattered a damn to anyone.

 

[elbows]

The scattered hodge-podge of double gameweeks this season are posing quite a dilemma for me. And the big one is right near the end of the season at week 37. All the hundreds of points I spent on transfers already this season and now I'm not sure how many more I can be arsed to spend. If Arsenal find some fire and Gabbiadini picks up from where he left off the dilemma is reduced a bit. But I'm getting ahead of myself, first a normal week and then a week later the opportunity for man u, crystal palace & middlesbrough double gameweek scores to turn out rubbish.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Goddammit, not bringing in Son for Defoe a while back continues to slap me in the face on a weekly basis

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck it

Fuck it

Sold the mofo last week cos of tough Chelsea fixtures.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Who did I bring in for the Man Utd double game week?

This fucking season, I tell ya.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Gameweek starts in 30 mins

Wanted to bring in either Welbeck or Giroud for the double gameweek. Also have Alli captained rather than Sanchez.

This game is stupid and I'm not playing any more
