I'm back to 11th which makes a lot more sense given where I started the weekend.Dummy Hoy said:Captain Kun dropping 50 for you, that helps.
I don't understand bouns points though. Some guy is sitting on 141 points(!) right now and Aguero is listed as scoring 75 for him, rather than 50 for you.
I am doing the opposite. Top 12 through four weeks then I have free fallen in to the 50s.sachmoney said:I was last after the first week. I'm up to 9th. The based Kun jackpot did me well.

Chelsea - along with Yaya/Silva's injuries - have ruined my year

I started the season strong, slipped the past 2 weeks, then rebounded after De Bruyne racked up 30 this week, and Lukaku and Pelle netted. Somehow, my team auto-substituted Pelle in for Kompany. Obviously, a huge swing, but I have no idea how it happened.
Also, I jumped off the Chelsea wagon, minus Willian quick, I suggest you do the same. One week at a time my friend.
No games this weekend. Might want to hold off on transfers until next week.
Try to substitute a forward for a defender. That should allow you to play a 3-4-3.When I check out other teams in the standings, it seems like they're playing a 3-4-3 formation, whereas I'm stuck selecting 4-4-2. I know you can play wild cards to get a 2-3-5 formation and some other funky stuff, but it sure seems like some of you guys are playing a 3-4-3 consistently. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills?!?
Well, that should help me in the second half of the season, d'oh!I think you have to sub a MF for a defender, then you can sub a F for a MF.
That was an ugly fantasy weekend.
Some teams have played fewer games than others. They need to even up eventually. So there are some game weeks where teams have 2 games.Can someone please clue me in as to these double gameweek shenanigans??
Not that I've got any chance, being in 19th place, but there's a good looking battle taking place for this years title - only 30 points covering 1st to 5th.
It would be interesting to hear what wildcards or bonus options any of those five still have available for the rest of the season - if they're willing to go public?
It doesn't take too much working out to suggest that Week 34 (16th April) is going to be a hum-dinger and will really test the strategies.
As for myself, I've still got 2 free transfers, a wildcard and all three booster options available to me so I still might be able to do some damage but will probably have to go a bit left-field will some selections in order to make up some points on those in front of me.
Good luck to all.
I get that, more specifically I was wondering what's special about week 34 as opposed to other weeks? Is it just that more teams have "double headers" than in other weeks? Week 37 is a biggie too.Some teams have played fewer games than others. They need to even up eventually. So there are some game weeks where teams have 2 games.
You should definitely make sure you're using your full 3 available spots on Aston Villa playersI've somehow managed to get to 2nd place, despite picking players pretty much on a whim throughout the season. Part of me wants to continue the no research, go with the gut approach for this critical part of the season - why change what has worked? The other side of me says,"you've been very lucky to this point, lazy dumbass, now do the work."
Usually the side that dislikes over-analyzing wins with me, making me somewhat of a circus freak on this website.
I do appreciate the fact that someone pointed out that there is so much doubling up in the next few gameweeks - I may not have noticed that. What I really need to decide now is how many 4 point penalties I'm willing to eat to make extra transfers.
I royally screwed up my other boosts (triple captaining Lukaku when he earned a total of 2 points in a double gameweek). Hopefully saving the wildcard till now and going with a full team of double gameweek players will build me an insurmountable lead going into the last week.Well, shit.
I maybe had a shot to make up 14 points in 2 weeks, but Pig Climbers pulling out the wildcard and picking Carroll for captain pretty much ends it. I've been getting fucked by Chelsea, Liverpool and United all year. Might as well finish with them beating me down with the shovel on a double-game-week, before the official burial next week.
Congratulations!
I set it up last year. Do folks want to do this again?Fantasy Premier League is back!
Not sure who created the our SOSH league last season, but whenever that is renewed I assume we can move to a new thread.
I plan on mounting a much more vigorous title defense than Leicester this season, so you better bring it boys.
Indeed, good chap.I set it up last year. Do folks want to do this again?
You betcha ..I set it up last year. Do folks want to do this again?
