Of course TAA sits in 2nd on my bench

Hope Pulisic doesn't come on though sure he will as I at least have Willian with an assist in 1st on my bench

Do we think I'm safe from a Pepping free hitting and using KDB, D Silva and Mahrez? Or is KDB likely to be Peppd so I can get someone cheaper?

Vardy has been added to try and jinx him vs us

Now Accepting Positive Reps.
Pulisic, Digne and Aurier in my bench for 23 points and I’m playing my BB next week. This is my highest bench scoring week of the season by a long way so fully expecting 4 x 2 pointers next week!

TAA is a beast even with pub defending from Liverpool.

Also why do you all go with Chelsea players over United your traitors ;).

Ok boys and girls, I'm defending what I think will be a 19 point lead - over a guy who will use his free hit.

Here's the current

Martinez, Filler keeper
TAA, Doc, Aurier, Lascelles, Ward
Mane, De Bruyne, Martial, Bruno, Saka
Jiminez, DCL, Greenwood

2m in the bank. What do we reckon?

First thoughts are either Sterling or Jesus in for Mane or Jiminez, or even both for a -4. And captaining Sterling, De Bruyne and Jesus in that order.
Would probably need some early team leak to go hard on City though.

DCL has been muck since I've had him, but he has Bournemouth at home so probably needs to stay.

Will probably have to start Saka, and bench Ward. But every chance Saka is on their subs bench.

Sterling in for Mane and pray that Pep is kind.

My opponent sort of lucked in Foden for 8, but as it was Saiss who missed out, perhaps no biggie.

But he also had Pulisic and Keane who won't come in, 18 between them!

He'll go hard on City i'm sure, and it'd be brave to leave DB out, so Sterling is probs the smart money, the dangerman.
Have lost out through not covering the risk before.

Might be worth bringing D Silva in, his last game so is v likely to play and he often scores big against weaker teams, i bought him in for that reason anyway.

What a dreadful gameweek for me.
Took out Kane for Jesus for a hit - lost 15 points.
Left Ryan, Pulisic and Aurier on the bench - lost 24 points.

This gameweek takes me down to 40k from 20k OverAll.

Is it worth swapping KDB to Startling for a -4?

I'm trying to catch 45 points. I'll be playing TC and opponent playing BB.

My first sub will be fernandes for dilva.

Awful GW from me. My money league is on edge now. My 47 point lead is now maybe 5-10 and others below me still have chips.

1. Saiss benched cost me big.
2. Salah does not score out of the 5 Lpool goals.
3. Bruno captain 2 points.
4. Ings penalty miss.

How unlucky can I be?

Gonna need some help guys, will post my team tomorrow don't have the will to do so now! haha

Im in no mans land really in all of my leagues. Just looking to finish as high as I can in the overall. 1 FT to use but might take a -4. No idea really.

Looks like I’ll have 82 (-4) for the week with bonus. It’ll be a green arrow, but not a massive one I don’t think, but enough to move me to top 100k.

No chip for the final week, so any further gains I’ll be delighted with.

Already have Sterling, KDB and Mahrez. Any transfer will be one of these out for another City player should one be benched. If they all play, I’ll probably do Jimenez to Ings.

Almost identical to me - 22k down to 46k.

Last few weeks have been really poor, made some shoddy decisions in hindsight.

Was pissed off when Pulisic came on as had Lamptey with 6 points on my bench. Glad he hauled and Chelsea still lost!

Looks like i'll be finishing 15 points better off this week than my 2nd place rival in ML, meaning the gap should be about 55 points. Will check tomorrow.

I know a 55 point lead is probably insurmountable with just 1 gameweek left but I don't feel I can relax quite yet... he does still have FH.

Horrible day for me as I sold TAA and Greenwood this week to differentiate from my rival who also has Antonio

I'm 36 behind which will be too much, pretty secure in 2nd place for £100 which is a decent consolation but no bragging rights !

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
I'm gonna make a few hits for the season's end. I want a team that I can at least stand by.

Thinking something like this for a minus 8 - any tips / opinions welcome...

-------------------------------Pope-----------------------------
-------Egan----------------TAA-----------------Boly-------
Sterling-------Mahrez-------Antonio-------Martial
------------Wood---------Kane--------Ings----------------

Triple Captain trigger ready to be pulled.

Need to make up 30 points over dipper rival.

Great week! 91 points. 17k > 8.8k.

Free Hit left. I'm really not sure which route to take. Go for differentials, aim for 5k and risk dropping out of 10k. Or play it relatively safe and secure 10k.

10k is the benchmark but at the same time I despise the boring dullard approach of playing it safe. I've taken 64 points in hits this season and quite frankly wouldn't have it any other way.

Kane is coming back in after I foolishly sold him for Jesus two GWs ago (these are the sheep moves I'm talking about, selling the ultimate differential who loves scoring in the final weeks, only to buy a poor footballer who never really passes the eye test and who wasn't even guaranteed minutes).

Considering jumping off the Burnley defensive train as well. Can't justify having two of them on FH. One would mean a red arrow anyway so might as well go without them and gamble on them conceding.

Crickey, West Brom back. Guessing they still have all those 2m tall turds and play awful hoofball? Never liked their assets, would always flop when I played them and shithouse their way to double digit points when I benched them.

Thinking of swapping out Bruno as he looks shot now. Get in Antonio, use the difference to upgrade to either Kane or Auba...

I could do Bruno and Rashford to D. Silva and Kane. Only scary thing is everyone owns Bruno but we do look like we're on our last legs.

Is it worth swapping KDB for Sterling?

Surely KDB has to finally get a haul of points?
KDB will probably be allowed to chase Henry's record, and I reckon he'll get there. I also think Sterling will be allowed to chase 20+ league goals. Also, Dilva will probably play in his last Premier League fixture for City.
I think Jesus and Bilva are likely to be benched, with Mahrez also starting. Will Fernandinho start his final game at the Etihad as well?

Looks like my team already without any hits. Just missing Boly and Antonio. I'd rather play Digne and Maguire and bench Egan again if I'm playing Ings (annoying that Taylor is injured). I have Bruno where you have Antonio and as everyone says he looks completely shot. Shame I've got Foden or I would happily hit him in out for David Silva. I was considering TAA & Bruno out for Salah & someone but that seems silly.

Did Salad > Sterling and Doherty > Robertson for the last round. Salah looked dogshite yesterday but that well probably come back to bite me.

Final team value is 106.9m with 0.0m in the bank. 77 transfers in total. Great team value but turns out it's not all that for overall points in the end! Learnt my lesson for next season - don't make so many transfers and -4 hits based on upcoming price changes rather than sticking with your gut! Last season I did a similar tactic and it worked out great, I finished the season very strongly after playing the 2nd wildcard early ending up just outside the top 1k overall, but this season I'm way down on that.

Morning all, terrible GW37, those who read my previous messages I was 47 in front and a few who were 5th 6th caught up by 65-70 points which now leaves my lead at 9 points. It looks like 1-5 have a chance of winning the league at £650, 2nd might get £200 and 3rd £100. I have no chips but they have BB left too.

Please help. My team is terrible but I was thinking Foden to D.Silva and captaining him.

I can do either one of the below. Suggestions?

KDB and Fernandes out for Sterling and Dilva (-4)

Fernandes out for Dilva

Fernandes and Vardy out for Dilva and Kane (-4)

Foden and TAA out for Azpi and Dilva (-4)

Final transfer of the season and it's looking like Vardy Out - Kane IN. Got just enough cash in bank to do it for free. Going with my FF head and also as a Utd fan too I don't want any Vardy goals.

OR18k and hoping for top 15k finish. I think top 10k is unlikely given there will be some chips being played.

Will someone be able to access Rockstar team sheet leaks? I'm hoping he might have the City one and I don't mind waiting till the last hour to make changes.

FPL Scarface has been doing them all this week too and got them all right. He’s legit.

Would be nice to know whether De Bruyne is going to start against Norwich.
It's City's last competitive game before Real Madrid so they wont change much. He also needs one more assist for the PL assists record. Absolutely nailed to start IMO.

As is Sterling who needs 1 goal for 20 goals this season.

These two are my only City assets and I'm sticking with them. Sterling (C) and KDB (VC)


Good luck!!!
