      Ah. Cheers, SM. Interesting they differentiate between who scores the goal. Makes sense, I guess, but also seems irrelevant to the match at hand.

          jonattonyeah The original game, which I’ve played for ever is auction-based:

          3 points for a goal
          2 points for an assist
          3 points for a cleansheet
          -1 for each goal scored (defenders start on 1 point)

            jonattonyeah but also seems irrelevant to the match at hand.

            Yes and no. Mostly no as you see the same players/teams scoring the most goals each season. It’s about having the right players at the right time. Obviously. 😅

              86 points this GW so far - McCarthy still to come. Top of all my leagues. Get in.

                Along_the_Wire Nicely done! Whats’s your overall rank?
                I’m on 76 with Ryan(Brighton) left to play. Not holding my breath. 😆

                    SM001 only 350,000ish - all my leagues had slow starts, especially me. I’ve been too 25,000 a couple of times.

                        I’m 4 and a half million! Just haven’t gone anywhere, however I think my team is starting to kick into gear at last

                        I’m 1.35 millionth….made the spectacular decision to take captaincy of Kane and give to Jota this week.

                          Phil-McRackin I’ve been sticking with Mane as captain for weeks, convinced he’s about to take our team by the scruff of the neck and steam roller some defence somewhere… still waiting, could have picked nearly anyone else this week. Can’t wait to ditch him on the eve of a hat trick against Fulham.

                          Currently 3.7m

                              You need to get rid and get KDB. I assume you have or both of Salah and Son?

                              Amps yeah, he’s pretty likely to do something like that. Let me know if do so I can stick him in mine.

                                  Ooof. My mantra is unless it is absolutely critical, never, ever take a -4 (I’ve done one this season and it was for Covid) and go safe on your captain. Get on form players properly early. My team value was £104m two weeks ago (£103.5m now due to not shifting Kane and/or Son) - that will make a massive difference for the season - means I can afford a Salah when everyone else suffers Zaha.

                                  Phil-McRackin Doing it… Mane out, Salah in. Mane to get the match ball, Salah will probably be rested, unlikely to even make the bench. Can’t wait.
