Yeah, it might not shock you to hear that I've pencilled in a league game for you further down the line, but if the broadcasters had somehow left the match at Edgar Street alone then I'd have been sorely tempted to bring your D2D forward to this round. And of course now the Bulls have extra impetus to "do it for Ronnie" so the BBC will be even more glad that they chose it for live TV coverage. On the Fantasy League front, I'm back to having 2 free transfers after using the Wild Card a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I'd better use one of them up. I've binned off Eric Dier and looked across North London to swap him for William Saliba who's scored more but costs less so it was a pretty simple decision in the end. Sánchez, Mitrović and Schär (who's an injury doubt anyway) all drop to the bench, with Lloris restored in goal. Cancelo and Kane also return to the starting line-up as captain and vice-captain respectively. Haaland gets the nod up front again despite still being listed as suffering from a knock. === Premier League Leeds United 3-2 Bournemouth Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal Spurs 2-2 Liverpool FA Cup First Round Chippenham Town 1-2 Lincoln City Fylde 0-3 Gillingham Solihull Moors 0-2 Hartlepool United Weymouth 1-3 Wimbledon Imitation Bundesliga Hertha Berlin 0-0 Bayern Munich Serie A Juventus 0-1 Inter Milan Eredivisie Ajax 2-1 PSV Eindhoven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted November 4, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 4, 2022 Pep still being quite coy on Haaland's fitness - presumably to keep Fulham guessing. I think he'll probably play, but they might not keep him on for the full 90. Debating whether to keep him in the starting XI, keep him in the starting XI and captain him, or whether to bench him and captain someone else. Although at this point captaining anyone other than Haaland is a massive risk. I'll sleep on it and make a call in the morning!

Fog Dude Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 On 11/5/2022 at 9:59 AM, Shy Dad said: I hate the FA Cup Ha, Hereford had a lot of us believing for a few minutes on Friday night though! As it turned out, the Cup sprinkled its magic quite liberally elsewhere in a way that might make everyone who takes part in our little competition hate it too. But more on that tomorrow. === In the meantime, let's get a Fantasy League update out of the way instead, since this one of the last chances to put that in the spotlight before the World Cup. Both my goalies scored 2 points each so it didn't matter which of those I picked either way. I was right not to start Mitrović (who didn't play, and has been off form since the last international break anyhow) but should've played new signing Saliba (8 points) over Castagne (on 6). The Arsenal player I did start with, Martinelli, only scored 3. Of my Newcastle defenders, giving Trippier the nod over Schär ended up as an emphatically good decision, with Zaha joining the former player on a dozen points as he continued to prove why it was wise to ship out all those West Ham players a while back. Almirón and Kane also continue to deliver the goods on 8 points apiece, even if the latter was on the wrong end of a bad result this time. Mac Allister did nothing special at Molineux so got just the standard 2 points, though at least another goal for Groß in the same match softened that blow by putting him on a score of 9. And so we come to the pivotal game: Man City-Brighton. I thought it was the kind of fixture where Cancelo had a good chance of popping up with a goal from defence, and a decent possibility for a clean sheet too, so I captained him. It soon became apparent I'd have no such luck this week. A harsh 'double punishment' red card meant his minus 2 points 'double up' (double down??) to -4, then later Haaland's 25-minute cameo produced a rollercoaster of emotions. A disallowed goal, a booking but a successfully converted penalty at the death left him on 5 points, and therefore he was worth starting after all. The combination of the above leaves me on 63 points for the round, still above average but could've been so much better with one clever swap at the back and a smarter pick for the armband. Overall I've now got 775 points and creep into the top third of global teams. I'm just about up in a majority of my private leagues and again static in the rest. Actually quite pleased that it feels like ages since I went downwards in one of those. Boringly, my squad is still worth exactly £99.9m with £0.1m in the bank I need to use at least one of my free transfers before the next matchday but once more, I'm not sure how I'm gonna use it yet. Will keep you posted when I make my predictions towards the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Dude Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 The final scores went into the first post on Sunday night as usual, and the table was recalculated soon after that. In a low-scoring round, the only bit of movement involved top scorer ultimo going up two places into second, but nobody got more than one exact score or made it anywhere near to double figures. MVP RULZ still leads, and Vegeta remains a point adrift at the other end. I do wonder if poor ultimo is now in need of a Sherpa. Sure there's enough oxygen up there mate?? Luckily, the 'wildcard' fixture wasn't one of the many duds. Match #2 at Stamford Bridge had its outcome guessed correctly by a majority of participants, even if none quite managed the correct scoreline of 0-1. They all get a bonus point. The only person to bet (wrongly) on a home win was our resident Chelsea fan, which would've been unthinkable 3 months ago, but it's indicative of how both sides' seasons have gone so far. Elsewhere, wins for Leeds and Bayern were generally good for one-pointers. No player foresaw that the former would end up a seven-goal thriller, but I was closest with my guess of 3-2. Home reverses for Spurs and Ajax left more of a mixed bag of picks in their wake, whilst a victory for The Old Lady against the form book caught all participants out. I think we've all got used to not plumping for draws in cup ties in recent years, so 3 replays among our contingent this time out did us no favours. The other 3 ties I was considering including all had a definitive winner on the day... but two of those were in favour of the underdog, so it still might not have done us much good. I was almost tempted to opt for a shock at Chippenham, but as I'm no longer based in the Westcountry – and don't pass through that railway station up to 3 times a day (don't ask) like I did a few years back – I decided against it. Obviously I now regret that, because it would at least have saved me from being outright lowest scorer. Huge new set of 10 that you're probably gonna hate will appear at the top of the thread in short order. There's a D2D, it's our last chance to feature the EPL for 6 weeks, and the English Champo is off for half that time too... so naturally a majority of games are again gonna be cup ties. Enjoy!

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted November 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2022 Finished with 77 points last week in the end with a bench boost. Would have been more had Newcastle held on for the clean sheet against Southampton because I had Pope and Botman in m squad as well - luckily Trippier had been subbed just beforehand and kept his clean sheet and bonus points. Up to 4th in the Chippy Tea mini-league and up to 1.2million in the overall standings. Only one week to go until the unlimited transfers for the World Cup come into play.
