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)

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.
Along_the_Wire only 350,000ish
My heart bleeds. I’m 3millionth. Nightmare season.
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 so many people binned off Kane and/or Son this week - mental. I brought in KDB and captained him.
Along_the_Wire still kept both of them in the team so at least they got me a few points but a deeply average week at 50 points with no more to come.
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?
Phil-McRackin who did you captain?
Along_the_Wire jota, obviously he’s been in a streak and thought he might come back to haunt wolves.
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.
Amps I’ve left Jota in and just changed my captain to Kane. Can’t afford Mane or Salah without too many changes.

I transferred out KDB for Salah. Over half my players are playing against each other, Utd/City, Chelsea/Everton and Leeds/WHU. So for nearly every goal that goes in I’ll lose points too. Great.
