It is Not Allowed in TMP so, welp

Anywho, I'm real mad that I gave Chelsea enough credit to maybe stop Vardy and Mahrez and captained neither!!

e: also for thinking City could keep a clean sheet against Swansea, thanks idiots

Are any of you in a league with your friends?

I have one with 14 friends, £10 entry, and have been coming second for most of the season so far. The guy who's winning is like 80 points ahead of me and is one of my closest friends. He's been quite fortunate but I think he's due a couple of bad weeks. I'm hoping this bench boost will get me closer

You used your bench boost in a week when everyone on your bench is playing a top half side?

Same, GW18 however I was set on KDB until the last minute before Mahrezing out and assuring his first blank in 15 weeks or something silly.

Surprised to see green arrows though, but apparently a lot of the top 50k are united believers benching Butty for Cech

Update:- that was actually a really good gameweek for me and I've been on a bit of a roll since then. I'm now 40 points behind instead of 80. Use the force etc

So who's in the top 20 of our league?

I had a poo poo gameweek but still 8th.

I've had millions in the bank for ages and never know what to do with it when cheap players like Ighalo are playing well.

I've stopped being a coward and played my triple captain, Harry Kane v Norwich.

Be brave. Bite the bullet. Never look back. Secure a future for white children.

Using my wildcard now, don't really want to sell Kane, Mahrez etc. but the temptation is to field as many DGW players as possible.

Kept Kane and Mahrez as my only single game week players, they've been so good and could well outscore the DGW players, plus I'd lose loads of money as I've had them since early on. Looking forward to this week, those two and 13 DGW players with bench boost. Went top last week despite triple captaining Lolkaku.

Yep, have to think ahead. I used my WC in 32 with the double game weeks and bench boost in mind.

I bet you're pretty pleased with how that turned out.

Looking forward to next year so I know what I'm doing and hopefully don't use all my chips in week 1-10...

I forgot about my team for the second half of the season. Have a chance to play my wildcard for the final day. Still have all out attack and bench boost to play in the last two weeks. Can't really be bothered to do the full optimal strategy analysis, does anyone have any good shouts based on that?

You can only use one "chip" per gameweek, which includes wildcards.

Sanchez and Aguero are the two obvious choices since they're playing well and have easier opponents and have something to play for. Hazard might explode again, although it's hard to say how Leicester v Chelsea will go. Kane, Payet, Vardy, solid all season. DDG in goal, PVA and Bellerin in defence. Defoe and Townsend may be good since Sunderland and Newcastle are fighting it out to avoid relegation.

Avoid Liverpool.

Beyond that who cares it's the last week of the season and you have nothing to play for. Get whoever you want. Look at fixtures, form, and who's trying to get into Europe/avoid relegation. Things get muddier at this point since teams tend to rotate players more. Moreso this season than the last few I'd say.

Still Man Utd and Bournemouth left to play don't forget! Plus any subs to come on after that's played. I'm top of the Goon league but I don't think I'll stay there, since I have no Man Utd and the guy in second does.

Yeah my local league is definitely wrapped up. 20 points clear and we both only have Rashford to play.

Good luck! I might steal 7th in the Goon league.

I'm in 2nd but I think you might be good still, United don't have anything to play for so I'd be surprised if there isn't a vastly different squad out on Tuesday.
