Then you won't want your points for gameweek 19 Billy because...
...That should relieve you of the lead. Good good, I'll inform FPL now.
But of course that's not what's being advocated. What's being advocated is that, where someone makes a mistake that disadvantages them, everyone should have their points deleted for that week to even things up. So, if I should lose out by everyone else playing their triple captain chip that week, it would be everyone's points that are nullified - not just mine.
However, what I said was not wrong. Gameweek 19 is not a double gameweek. There is a full programme over the weekend with a few further games rescheduled for the Tuesday & Wednesday. Which is exactly the scenario I envisaged:

Double game weeks don't happen. As we've seen this week, if there is a scheduled programme, they split it up into two separate game weeks. So one's relying on just the odd postponed game being re-arranged for a Tuesday or Wednesday when the clubs involved have already played over the weekend.
And, given that four of the teams playing additional games are West Ham, Burnley, Fulham & West Brom, I don't imagine that too many teams will be relying on their players for a bonanza score. And then, with the more successful clubs, there's the question of squad rotation...
