Only 4 DGW players for me, which feels a bit light. Good opportunity for the chasing pack to make up some ground.

Likely out for two games minimum and Liverpool blank after that, so I gave him the tin tack.

How magnanimous of you Donald, only 200 points to catch up on for current 3rd with 13GWs left.
And it's nice to see SS doing so well. Was that the worst GW he's ever had, snigger. 17pts against a GW par of 47. And it goes to show what a strong league we have when most of our players regularly beat par.
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 18th February 2022, 9:50 AMF**k it, F**k it, F**k it!!!! Had me team all sorted and now see Jota is 50% chance of playing.
F**k it - I'm going to leave as is, but it does f**k you off when all was OK at team picking time. GRRRR!!!
F**k it again. He's gone to Red Alert, so on the bench as cannot afford (? like it's going to make any difference to my standing) 4 penalty points.
**EDIT Also must keep the Fat Owl under foot
Played my bench boost. Hoping Tsimikas gets a game in the red sh***es packed fixture schedule. Seeing as it's Norwich and Leeds at home. Was going to go triple captain Jota. Would have had to have made a fourth transfer to get Salah, Mane (price) or Firmino (position.)
Good luck all.
Quote: Billy Bunter @ 15th February 2022, 5:10 PMSpeaking as someone who bought Dawson's goal minutes @ 4 for £1 on a spread bet, I was mightily relieved (and pleasantly surprised) that the goal was allowed to stand.
Had the same bet this week. Unfortunately he scored earlier this time (32nd minute). Unless he scores again in the 2nd half...
On paper, this was truly the week to play Salah as a triple captain, but we all know it's not that simple. I, for one, was hoping for at least a brace from him against Norwich. Leeds might be a little bit more tricky, but if that game ends 0-0 then I'll gladly film myself laughing at a Michael Monkhouse gag and proclaiming him "a reet funny lad" (I really won't)
Other thoughts: Why no Trent? Why, Jurgen?
In the H2H I'm having quite a run of being second highest points scorer when I'm playing the highest scorer.
I saw my score of 66 points and thought not bad for the first round, then I saw Dan's 77.
You were not alone in triple captaining Salah Ben.
Quite a few saw the opportunity and thought they would slyly sneak it in.
More than quite a few - 1,013,162. A Triple Captain record.
A sneaky million, including me.

That's pretty bad luck two weeks in a row. Dan always has an amazingly high scoring week every season, like a dead team.

I think you used your luck up with your miraculous 32pts for Jota against Leicester, when Mo nearly scored 3.

No choice with the TC this week for me, with Don and Anton definitely using it.
Never going to beat the first in 16/17 when I got 93pts putting it on Kane. Next season I got 9pts from Aguero.

I don't really understand how a manager can win one year and come nowhere the next. It's almost as if it's blind luck or something.
If that were true re: blind luck, the Hall of Fame would be a lot more random than this -
12/13 Gerry McDonnell Top 1K (!)
13/14 Steve Sunshine 3K
14/15 Don Rushmore 18K
15/16 Steve Sunshine 11K
16/17 Gerry McDonnell 11K
17/18 Anton Russell 20K (RU Don Rushmore 32K)
18/19 Don Rushmore 64K
19/20 Gerry McDonnell
20/21 Steve Sunshine/Big Phil
50% skill, 50% luck IMO.
I think it's more skill than luck, but Steve and sometimes Don give up early if they have a poor start and don't think they can make it up, whereas Anton and Godot have been consistently top 3 or 4 since the start.
