You arent the only one. Though based on form and fixtures there wasnt a huge amount of choice really, not the most interesting season.

Bringing Vardy in and not having any Spurs players is about as adventurous as I got for this week.

Its going to be interesting.
 
My iffy looking choice of captain, Hazard, is being made up for in my mind at least for tonight by Jagielkas excellent performance. Glad I didnt spend points swapping him for someone playing twice.
 
Man, this fucking gameweek.

My highest ever score by a country mile and purves grundy, my H2H opponent, has had the better of me.

This match is all over the place tho....I have Son, he's got Alli. Both have assists...oh shit...Son's just scored!

I think I'm currently leading :thumbs:
 
If only i could get my captain selection right :facepalm: every dam week iv'e been wrong. Still, i have enjoyed the h2h league and good luck to those battling it out at the top end.

Who did you go for?

This week i opted for de Bruyne ( 15 points) . I have Kane and jesus who both scored more. I captained Benteke in the recent double game week and he got me 2 points :D. I think i am third in the h2h at the moment.

It more or less won the H2H for me. Of course I already know what next season is going to bring.

Congrats! That means for the third year running the H2H remains in the milieu.

Also means you have to set the H2H up next year.

Nightmare year for me, think i got one decision right all season and that was prob as i was out the door early and forgot to make whatever disastrous move i was planning on.
 
Fair play to my h2h opponent this week - I won in the end but they were ahead of me for ages despite me having bench boost and a possible maximum 28 player games, as opposed to their possible maximum 16 player games.

The only questions left for me are whether I can stay in the top 5 of the h2h, and whether I can reach a total of 2000 or over despite spending an eye-watering 320 points on transfers this season.

How many transfers did you do in total?

Oh I dunno I thought you have a pretty reasonable second half to the season and much like me it was the first half that really did us in.

That was probably me then. I should have played my wildcard but wasn't really paying attention and then my two spuds players (one was captain...) got me sweet FA for their second match.

I guess so - unless you've been manually counting the costly ones. Which i started doing but soon gave up. I did 81 in total this year - can't find previous years. Sure i did more than that at least one year.

I added up the transfer cost column on my gameweek history page to work out how many points I spent. It seems impossible to get any details apart from final totals from last season but I did take some screenshots at the time so I can look at my history a bit more comprehensively.

Transfer totals were 115 not including wildcard weeks, 135 including. Last year was my first year and I spent 180 points on transfers but got it all back in the double-gameweek where I somehow managed 184 points. I didnt do head2head last year and finished with something like 2068 points. This year I'm on 1944 and had given up on reaching 2000 until this week went well. I will still have to pick the right captain and hope there isnt too much last-game wackiness to have a good chance.

Yeah sounds like it was you. You were really kicking my ass until Sanchez, Jesus and De Bruyne did stuff in their 2nd game. Unlucky about Eriksen, I certainly didnt expect him not to play yesterday.

Ta. I think that's quite a bit more than my most ever. I can see a daft last week, plenty of offensive points not too much from non-goal scoring/assisting defenders.

Something like 9 of the next 10 in the H2H are ahead on points which suggests there was a lorra lorra luck involved. Sanchez dragging me over the line about 10 times mostly I think.

Bench boost already? Oh lawrie this will bite you.

Pro-tip: use bench boost in September.
