67pts this weekend. Playing the wildcard has put me back into this thing. At least for a few weeks.

60 pts for me 26 of which came from naming Kun Aguero my captain. Thank you very much rule I totally didn't understand!! 
Walcott and Benteke's long term injuries have led to an enforced use of the wild card - with a bit of wheeling and dealing out are Begovic, Evra, Walcott, Lampard, Fellaini, Benteke and Lambert. In are Mignolet, Coleman, Yaya Toure, Michu (a midfielder? On it like a car bonnet), Ramsey, Campbell and Aguero.
Wildcard here as well - at 20 point week is weak in all sense of the word.......c'mon my crazy little biting, angry, horse-faced striker......c'mon
62 points this week good week but 41 of those came from 2 players so full overhaul thanks to the wildcard. Out go Altidore, Gerrard, Hazard, Sessegnon, Schniederlin, Jagielka, Garrido and Given. In come Suarez, Ozil, Brady, Barkley, Amalfitano, Clyne, Shaw and Boruc.
So, Tottenham, stingy all year, at home, against West Ham, who haven't been able to score all year?
Figuring a near-certain clean sheet and a chance for more maybe, I had Walker as my captain, and I switched it to Sturridge at the last minute.
Good thing.

I'd like to thank Crystal Palace for taking a giant crap on my fantasy team at 77'. And a honorable mention goes to Arsenal who managed to get the draw. My perpetual Yaya captain choice seems to be holding fast though. Now to get out of the cellar.
Amen to favorite horsed faced striker! He may be a certifiable whacko, but he is my favorite "i love me" jacketed/Lectur masked player!
Alright, who had Begovic and got some goal points from the keeper this weekend?
That would be me. Wish I'd have captained him.

Suarez captained, made the 'mistake' of vice-captaining Agüero instead of Chamakh/Touré/Özil
95 points so far.

Does it? You're probably right, not sure how Agüero ends up with 3 if there's any sort of multiplier.
Also, this is why I'm in 32nd.

Maybe I'm not remembering this correctly, but in past years if the value of a player you selected increased/decreased over the course of the season wasn't that value added/taken from your budget?
For example, if you selected a player at 11pts and his value accrued to 12 pts, if you released that player you received 12 points into your transfer budget. Right now it looks like you only get the value when added to your team originally.
Translation: I want to drop Aguero for Suarez and don't have the points to do it.

You, of all people, should have known he was good for multiple goals today.Smiling Joe Hesketh said:
I hit 107. I think I've broken 100 on double gameweeks before, but the only other time I can remember hitting 100 on a regular gameweek was when I had Rooney and Ashley Young in my team the week Man Utd beat Arsenal 8-2.Bailey10 said:

It didn't, though LFC have maintained form longer than I did...disastrous week, only 21 points, so out goes Gerrard (injured) & Giroud and in comes Hazard and Lukaku. I've only got just over £98M to play with now as well, such is the rapidly decreasing value of my squad. Might be time to concentrate on the Cup competition, which starts Week 18.
Those of you clever / lucky enough to have had Suarez as your captain for the last 4 games have managed to amass 154 points. 154 points from one player.
Bit of a humble brag here. Have brought my team from 48th to 22nd in 4 weeks with some smart transfers, a change of approach to who plays and unmercifully flogging Suarez as my captain. Overall I am having a bunch of fun with this and I feel I am doing pretty well for my first time.
