Porro and the Tottenham cleany basically will have cost me top 10. But never mind. Had a terrible start clinging onto a triple United then was miles down for months before a great re-surgence.

Havertz goal late on probably didn't help either, but never mind. A great ride as always.

Now just have to find the £1k to pay out in prize money tomorrow :wenger: :nervous:

I'm just so glad this season is over. Having Luton in the league made things difficult as I generally refused to captain against them. Next season, will be back to normal.
I think there's a lower league fantasy footy next year :drool:

Well, gg to this season. Managed to just hit 2503 points and my rival finished with a 100 points, with 4 CS from 6 defenders.

Happy to leave this be for 3 months.

Want to see how much damage Mateta inflicted on my OR. Was close to 500k before this GW.

I know, right :lol:

Story of my feckin season. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I'm finishing on about 2160.
I'm never brave enough on the last day.

Although the irony is that the one player I was planning a "brave" move on was Isak, who hauled.
Although Mateta did better.

But Jackson to Mateta was the hindsight move, which I was never going to do.
Or Saka to either Palace mid boy.

Porro and punt for Eze pushed me up, brought in Saka for -4 but had Isak on first bench, lucky break :lol: 2577 all out.
Finished on 8.8k OR, see you guys for the next season!

67 for a final 492k OR.

First season playing, not sure what to make of that.

Missed 6 or 7 deadlines I think, a few near the end when giving up a bit. Made 2 major mistakes and many small ones. Think I learned a lot but no doubt I'll do things next season I'll regret too. Seems to be the nature of this game. :lol:

Deffo coming back next season, until then chaps!

Where do we see Foden, Saka, Palmer pricing next year? All clearly gonna be given heavy freedom to continue thriving, they can't casually go below under 10 again, I'm not sure how Foden/Saka came in at their prices this year.

Whoever leaked that fake news that Isak was benched I wish horrible things upon you.
Had him second sub behind Mitchell and am subsequently going to finish 2 points off the winner of my £260 league. I finish 2nd with 80£. So thanks you cnut.

The false info was quite early, but it was well confirmed it was false before the deadline?
If you play by the leak sword you have to accept you'll sometimes die by it.

I know how you feel mate. I also removed him instead of Jackson because of that cnut. Hopefully he steps on a Lego tonight and dislocates his thumbs so he can't spread leaks again.

I benched Isak for Solanke not on the back of the leak, but on the back of my own stupidity.

People who rely on team leaks are sad, just play the game. I feel great to finish above those who swapped out Gabriel GW1.

Have you ever received that text (or saw here) that XYZ is not playing? What's a man to do in that situation? :lol:

Fyi I kept Gabriel at the start and removed him the week he started :lol:

Bit uncalled for. Some leaks are legit and there's not much difference between using that info and the pressers.

Let people do what they want.

My rival's gameweek rank at 100 is actually 63k. Actually insane. He caught some poor bastard who he was 20 points behind by making up 41 points in one day in one of us other leagues.

Bringing in Mateta clinched the ML for me after chasing all season. Lovely stuff. :drool:
I actually triple captained him today. Managed to get into top 10 in my Mini league while circling around 17-20 for a better half of the season. However, Gusto coming in from the benched really killed me. I had Porro and Dallot both on the bench. We learn and live on.

I just won my draft with random people after winning 11 of the last 12 matches. Cole Palmer saved my arse

Well done he’s 13
That's brutal
Had Dalot on the bench after deciding to drop him because he'd scored feck all in the previous 10 weeks.

But based on the fixtures my other defenders had I don't think it was too bad of a decision.

Easy to look at hindsight in this game after everything is settled but there's a lot of chance involved.

Still, my first year doing it properly and i'll be back doing it next season!

Won the treble for my ML with the normal league, H2H and cup competition. Great season for me but finished 338k overall. Will look to improve upon that next season.

Nice one, had my worst ever season since trying 355k.
That's not too bad. I dont really care about OR, more about my mini league and in that I came 3rd and my rival finished 2nd. My other rival ended up 9th (from 4th) in the final week :lol: He normally always cracks top 10k so it was nice to finally beat him!

257 k.

Similar here, not the worst, but pretty far from a good season. Not close to the top in any of my MLs.
Big mistakes in the first half of the season (around 3M rank after GW 19) made it too hard to accomplish anything other than trying to get a respectable second half (50k second chance).
No Salah, Son, Mbeumo or Arsenal defenders in the first 12-15 GWs and too stubborn to get rid of Bruno, Rashford and and cheap wingbacks pretty much gave me a 100-150 points handicap from the start.

Well, on to the next season I guess.
