Used my wildcard to get and fit Kane in. Best decision ever it seems
Fantasy Football 2017/18
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
Christensen frustratingly missing out on a clean sheet due to illness.
Had to play free hit this week because I had 5 players injured or suspended. New team has brought me 84 points so far with 2 players still to play
Edit: risen to 104 points so far

Is Lingard likely to keep this run of minutes up?
Tempted by Hazard and Calvert Lewin to Lingard and Firmino, both in form. Hazard going through a dry spell and too expensive to keep.
Alternative is Hazard to Lingard which frees up nearly £5m for defence upgrades, Alonso maybe.
Edit: Can you play Free Hit and Trip Captain in the same GW?
Tempted to bring in Arnautovic, Eriksen, Alli/Son/Vertonghen to go with a Kane TC for 1 week only maybe.

Nah you can't play 2 chips in 1 week. You can't even wildcard and play a chip in the same week.
I brought in Lingard and Arnautovic for Pogba and Surman with my 2 free transfers last night before they rose in price. Just got to ride out the next week with Arnie and Kane on the bench but about 50 points clear now at the top of my league so should be ok.
Team value now at £105.4m

Wow, nice value. I'm rank 70k Globally and TV is £102m.
how many 'Gangsters Allardyce' teams in the caf league.Is there loads? I'm one of them hahaha
Counted 6 on the first page alone.
Thinking Hazard, Gross and Kolasanic out to bring in Sterling, Arnautovic and Azpilicueta... Thoughts?
I think they're all solid moves. You've missed the rise on Arnautovic so you might want to hold off on him for another week though.
Yeah plan was to wait until this coming game week is over.
Yeah, Hazard has been breaking my balls ever since. Starts up front and still doesn't deliver anything and is too costly at 11M for that. I am thinking of getting Sterling in for Hazard and then using the saved up amount to get in Alonso.
Hazard always seems to burn me in ff. Won't be going anywhere near him this season.
I got hazard in at a good time. He is the reason I'm top of done of my private leagues but his goals have dried up. Am hesitant to get rid before a home game against Stoke though... Have a feeling he'll grab a few points against them... But I'll have to take the risk as I suspect sterling price will keep rising...
I'd get Azpi ahead of Alonso. Azpi here a fair few assists. Alonso gets goals but is also taken off early in quite a few matches...

And I bet every one of them thought they were being hilariously original
Could have had Kane or Salah Captain. Instead went with Aguero... 
107 I think this week. Sexy.
a few lads in my league triplecaptained Kane and got 51 points.
I did same with hazard a few weeks ago and he got 6 points FML.

I need to use the free hit these week because I just don't have enough players. If I use my free transfer, can I then use my free hit on top of that? And have the free transfer still made for the gameweek after?
Yes you can still use the free hit on top of any transfers you've already made although you'll only have one free transfer next week I believe
The wildcard is a chip isn't it?
I guess so.
Wondering whether to take a big risk and put Lingard and Pogba in for Doucoure and Silva. Feel like we're due to have a run of alright games and you would think those two are gonna be involved. Massive risk because we're crap and all that, but not many people will have Pogba at the mo.
I should take Lukaku out now....finally 
(watch him go on a goalscoring spree now, which I hope!)

My final score this week was 113, not too shabby!
Had a horrible week with 50 points. Mistake was Captain Aguero instead of Salah or Kane.
Captained Kane but the rest of the team did pretty bad. Got 71 overall. Thought having DDG and Jones would be getting be more clean sheets...hopefully they can manage it against Soton...
When I got in Phil Jones, he got injured. Then I got in DDG and he hasn't kept a single clean sheet.
I now got sterling, hopefully my curse strikes again
Kane is now ill and may not play against Swansea - There goes my triple captain hope. Fack aaafffffff
Spurs and West Ham not playing this week game week?
Yeah and then they both have a double game week next (which starts on Monday iirc).
Captain pick tough without Kane: Morata v Firmino v Salah?
If I had Morata of go for him as Stoke are missing half of their back line. I don't have him do I've gone for Salah.Captain pick tough without Kane: Morata v Firmino v Salah?
Didn't realise I was still in the Cup Thought I was knocked out first round after I saw that the guy had more points than me with a game to go with none of my players to play - turns out he made like 4 transfers which meant -12 points to his score.
Didn't check until this morning after I noticed that it said "Round 6 in Fantasy Cup"
Big gameweek. I've used my Free Hit due to Kane really. Don't want to get rid of him, but no point keeping him this week if he's not going to play.
So changed the whole team but kept Salah, De Bryune, Firmino and Dacoure.
Morata, Sane in as the main players.
Heavily reliant on a City/Liverpool/Chelsea/Watford thumpings this week to get me past the round.

Thanks DS! Went for Morata in the end over Salah. Need that “differential” to move up my FF mini leagues. But it might just backfire.
Always the risk. Hazard is dropped so things should go through Morata now.
Or he will be involved in none of the 3 goals so far
Frustrating that Christensen misses out again. He was good when I picked him up for 5.4 but that’s 2 games in a row he’s missed and more than likely 2 clean sheets.
Might be one of my worst fantasy football game week. Nothing is happening so far lol.
Don't get why people have used their Free Hit this week. Surely that's for next week where you bring in Kane, Alli, Eriksen (or swap one for Vertonghen), Arnautovic etc who will get two games a piece, but that you won't want to retain after the double fixture?
