Soon as I get rid of Rashford for Greenwood he starts scoring and Mason does feck all, typical.
Fantasy Premier League 19/20
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
56 points with Antonio to play. Not sure if that's any good but not too bad.
Captain Martial saves the week late! Average free hit still, but Ings and Jesus was nice. Attack improved, but weaker midfield. Defense pretty crap either way.
Enjoying the punishment from Rashford and Martial for not free hitting with them, but I did have DDG and Bruno.
Looks like I will have 56 with bonus on my free hit. If I didn’t free hit and did my two planned transfers, I would have also had 56 (60 - 4)! Looks like the chip was a bit wasted in that case, but there’s still the possibility that the final two weeks may tip the balance.

Typical Rashford troll job. I've had him since the restart only for the games he blanked hahaha
52 on the FH. Pretty shite really!
44 points, i'll take that after a start when i daren't even look until tonight.
I'm going to finish on 47, not the best but I'll take it.
67 FH, not bad but the two Everton players a stupid idea in hindsight.
FH gone relatively well for me, 72 with Cresswell to play - made up a bit of ground on minileague top spot but still 30odd behind
I have the TC chip and I don't know what to do. Martial I could go with which was the plan. Bring in Aubameyang and go with him maybe, but I do not trust him? Although they are playing in the cup so might rotate.
Sterling and De Bruyne is massive risk. Vardy not on fire. Not trusting Mourinho to be attacking enough. Ings and Jimenez not scoring big enough hauls for me to want them.
City vs Norwich looks so bloody good. I might save the chip and keep Sterling open as one option. If he is rested vs Watford I might dare to go for it. Jesus could work too, but being a forward he will get less points per goal.

Do we favour Burnley to keep a clean sheet away to Norwich ? I need a defender but cant be from Utd, City or Wolves.
Salah v Newcastle
So I really don't know how but I'm leading in a very large private league of 100 people. Winner gets around 600 odd quid and I'm leading by 40 with Antonio left to play.
I have Jesus and Vardy up top, I won't be taking any more risks but I was thinking Vardy to Ings might be decent.

I'm in the same boat as all those who swapped Rashford for Greenwood. That is one thing about the mini leauges, I only did the move because the guy ahead of me did it! I was too worried about him making the gap bigger and keeping Rashford would have put me first now..
I did the move too but in all honesty, Rashford was going out wide a lot and then playing deeper whereas greenwood seemed now direct so made sense at the time
Tarkowski is the set piece threat. Typically the one week I would actually play Charlie Taylor and he's injured.
I've brought Wood in for Giroud this week.
Pope
TAA / Digne / Maguire
Sterling / Mahrez / Martial (c) / Bruno (vc)
Wood / Vardy / Ings
subs : McCarthy, Taylor, Foden, Egan
Watch Foden haul now...
Are you guys planning on keeping KDB? And is it worth bringing Rashford back in for Greenwood?
I would say yes but I think Ings is also a valid shout. W.Ham and Leicester won't be high scoring games.
David Silva's final premier league game, at home to Norwich, is a captain banker, surely!
I'm not sure Greenwood to Rashford is worth a transfer unless you are doing something with the extra cash.
Am I the only way who suspects Greenwood might make way in the FA Cup semi to start next week? I suspect Ole will pick a strong team, but might favour an extra midfielder.
Primed for the ultimate Pep troll
Taken off after 59 minutes
to rest him for the Fa cup and CL.I'm thinking brought on in the 89th, to wave goodbyeTaken off after 59 minutes
Yeah that would be worse. I hope with De Bruyne he will be either fully rested or not at all.
My bench is terrible though so it doesn't help much.
I expect half my team to be crap for the end here with rotation. Just want to nail my TC.
Salah, Sterling(do not have him, but can get with one move), De Bruyne, Martial, Son the options I have. Can bring in Auba, Kane or Rashford too, but that will take two moves or more.
My gut says Sterling vs Norwich, but Pep says rest probably.
Brought in David silva, hopefully he will start in both games
It's probably the best time to ditch City assets because who knows what team they will field the last 2 games. You accept it early on in the season because you have value invested and in the long haul they will all get minutes/points.
Now is probably the best time to gamble and get rid of City players - last thing you need at this stage is non-starters and players picking up 1 point.
Every team can rotate in the end though. Only thing safe is Chelsea, United and Leicester players. Then the relegation teams.
I dunno, they're still getting decent points despite nothing to play for. Anything could happen like, especially if they go all out for the FA Cup. Best not to overthink it I reckon.
Best player for a one week punt in GW37? I have my free hit to use in the last GW so they only need to perform this time round. Already have 3 Utd, KDB, Sterling - who should I be looking at getting in?
Sounds a bit mad, but Vardy? He really is a big game player; Mourinho's a big game manager, but he hasn't been at all convincing at Spurs.
Now I'll completely disregard that advice and ask - is it worth going Vardy to Aubameyang now? Aubameyang has great fixtures, while Leicester have been tailing off.
Maybe a Burnley player? They play vs Norwich. Wood or Rodriguez could be good picks.
A defender like Tarkowski too or Pope.
Players with something riding on the last 2 games are key.
I'm trying to hold off a transfer this week, to potentially do 3 game changers for a -4 in week 38 to counter balance my rival's free hit.
Gonna be tight. I'll be 8 points ahead as we stand, and hope Antonio can increase that for me tonight

I gone up over 1 million places in the overall rankings since the restart. 
Antonio! Get in. Got more of a lead in my league now.
Yes and no. Yes because teams like Chelsea are likely to put out their best team because they have something to play for. No because the games are higher pressure and can end up being tight. Just look at Chelsea v Norwich. If that was earlier in the season, Chelsea would have ran riot but as every point is so essential now, tension creeps in.
Got a wildcard to use for the last two gameweeks.
What do you all think I should have?

Shame just the 1 goal, and seemingly no bonus.
Noticed Martial got no bonus either, despite sitting on 1 for ages and being on 2 when I'd checked late that evening!
Right. Bench boost activated. Fernandez > Tarkowski
Pope
Trent Digne Doherty
Martial(c) Bruno KDB Pulisic
Greenwood Jesus Ings
Martinez, Mahrez, Tarkowski, Saiss

Think I’ll do Vardy to Wood and then upgrade Willian to Salah, Mane or Sterling for a hit. I’ll probably bench Mahrez as sub 1 to avoid a Pepping.
