Fog Dude Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 I got 61 points in the Fantasy League, just about above average for the round but with under half the top scorer's haul. That puts me on 1,714 points overall – so not on course for the magic 2k – and up in two private leagues (including the Chippy Tea one), but my position seems to have settled down in the rest. No real terrible selections, just a squad of players who either don't start much, get rotated in and out or are just plain off form. In particular, I signed a bunch of Arsenal and Newcastle players when they were flying but lately their seasons have hit the skids even though most fans would've bitten your arm off for 2nd and 5th place respectively back in August. Anyway, more specifically it was Gündoğan who didn't play so Ben Mee was subbed in for an additional point. I started the wrong keeper as Raya's 5 for a making a bonus-worth number of saves bests Alisson's 2 for not keeping a clean sheet, despite Brentford's actual result being much worse than Liverpool's. I did send the armband the right way for once though, as Haaland's dozen doubled up to 24, with Ødegaard the only other possible decent choice on 10 as no further players even made it close to getting into double figures. You can't use more than one Chip in the same week, so I'm planning to cash in my second Wildcard next time and then I can take advantage of Bench Boost and Triple Captain during the final two double rounds of any significance. The only teams that might have a double round outside of the expected 'free' midweeks with no European games are Brighton and Newcastle, in a fixture that baffling still hasn't been rearranged from Carabao Cup final weekend. The only way that realistically isn't being played in Gameweek 36 is if Bayern overturn a three-goal deficit tonight. In the meantime, I'll decide by the time I make my Predictions picks what I'm doing with this week's one free transfer and let you know then. Possibly shipping out a City player since they, Man Utd, Brighton and Chelsea all have no league match this weekend. === The results went into the first post on Sunday night, including the scores for the FPL Cup semis, with Vegeta and best performer ultimo coming out on top. They both scraped through to the knockouts by the skin of their teeth but have come into form at the right time. They're also the only two players left with a D2D turn outstanding, but that's just by chance. I may organise this but I don't write the scripts! Also, the table has now been updated. The extra good news for Vegeta is that he's pulled himself further away from last place, while it's not such happy reading for Stinky as he relinquishes the lead by being the only participant apart from me not to get any exact scorelines. Tilde and MVP RULZ are effectively back in joint top spot and on course for a play-off, although the former's chance of The Double has now gone. He was the other participant to get the 'wildcard' fixture (randomly selected as match #5) of Forest v Man Utd spot on, at least. Any such play-off would reduce the short gap between this campaign and the next. I started planning the 2023-24 spreadsheet the other day, with Greece v Gibraltar the first fixture pencilled in for September as we don't know any of August's club games yet. But that's just housekeeping since I'm certainly not bored of the current term which promises to have an exciting finish. Wins for Palace, Wolves, Man Utd's women and Chelsea Ladies all proved fruitful, but the Scottish and Aussie outcomes – plus a potentially crucial home reverse for Everton against a Fulham side in flip-flops – caught a few people out alongside more hilariously dropped points for the bottle job Gunners. If there *is* someone writing an EPL script then it was very uncreative for the same thing to happen two Sundays in a row. An ordinary set of 10 will go live at the top of the thread shortly.

Fog Dude Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 Noticed Almirón hadn't even been playing much lately, so ahead of a much bigger clearout next week I shipped him out in favour of in-form Palace's Eze who goes straight in as captain, with Alisson as backup – because he's bound to keep a clean sheet against Forest, right? === Just to reassert my previous statement, that's what I'm gonna pick for the Predictions League too: FA Cup Semi-Finals (@ Wembley) Manchester City 3-1 Sheffield United Brighton & Hove Albion 1-2 Manchester United Premier League Brentford 0-1 Aston Villa Crystal Palace 4-0 Everton Leicester City 2-3 Wolves Liverpool 2-0 Nottingham Forest Newcastle United 0-0 Spurs Serie A Juventus 2-1 Napoli Eredivisie PSV 2-2 Ajax Série A Vasco da Gama 1-1 Palmeiras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog Dude Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Last time out, I managed 48 points in the Fantasy League, slightly above average but still too much on the low side for my liking. I lost a place or two in one of the UKFF leagues. Eze turned out to be a poor choice for the armband, as Palace and Everton produced a stalemate with one of the lowest combined xG stats since that measure was introduced. His 3 points for a clean sheet doubled up to 6 but Toney, Martinelli, Ødegaard and Kane all scored at least twice what he did. Even though Spurs were humbled at St James's it was still Højbjerg who got the assist for Kane's goal, meaning he scored higher than any of my 6 defensive players... but I'd left him as a sub! I've now used my Wild Card and swapped out 10 players, all of whom play for teams that are up to date with their fixtures but have also massively gone off the boil. I hope all the arrivals can bag me a shedload of points since they've all got at least one double round coming up soon. So far this week I've got zero because the only people I brought in who played tonight are a Fulham duo that I left on the bench. Am eagerly awaiting points from, among others, new signings Declan Rice and John Stones tomorrow night since I've made them captain and vice-captain respectively. === The final scores were up in the initial post on Sunday night as per usual, with the table updated now too. It was a bad week for Tilde as he slips to third, level with Stinky but behind him on most three-pointers. MVP RULZ takes full advantage and has now gone five clear. Vegeta was the worst performer but that only allows me to close the gap at the other end by a single point. Rory had a great round since he was responsible for two thirds of the spot-on guesses this time, as well as being the only participant into double figures. All it does is leave him in limbo though: well clear of the bottom two but still a full 14 points behind the top five with time to catch up running out. The 'wildcard' fixtures was match #9 in Eindhoven, a surprisingly comfortable home win at the Philips-Arena where nobody opted for the precise scoreline, but ultimo was the only person not yet mentioned who at least managed to bet on the right result. Elsewhere, wins for Man City, Liverpool and Newcastle were generally good for one-pointers whereas two goalless draws in London and a comeback victory for the Foxes caught most people out. Score draws in Brentford and Brazil (two very similar places, I'm sure) and a home reverse for Juve, meanwhile, proved more of a mixed bag of picks. The next card, including the penultimate D2D of the season, will be up in the opening post in just a tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
