Got hammered yesterday - Son needs to deliver as my captain today - always hate playing catch-up when most of my league went Salah. 8 players still to come mind.

SM001

Along_the_Wire 8 players left is alot in fairness. Salah only got 1 goal and 1 bonus point so not a disaster.

Heres hoping Kane and Son run riot again.

Mad_Cyril

Any of you ever though…

“Paul Pogba is a great pick, ill stick him i this weekend”?

SM001

Mad_Cyril Sold Auba for Rashford this week to help facilitate getting in Kane for DCL. Slick.

Mad_Cyril I set this thread up to help you MC and then you come on here pissing down my back and telling me it’s raining?

Mad_Cyril

LOL

Holding onto Fernandes has paid all sorts of dividends.

SM001

Along_the_Wire I brought Rashford in last week. It was a toss up between him and Fernandes. Piss.
Rashford should have scored a couple today.

Mad_Cyril

SM001 Rashford should have scored a couple today.

Does that a lot. Should have had 4 in Paris.

Fortunately Cavani doesn’t seem to need many chances 💪

Along_the_Wire

41 points from three games with Kane as captain still to come.

SM001

Along_the_Wire Very nice.

Along_the_Wire

Here it is Amps.

I’ve gone Fernandes. I got Rodriguez in for Salah - think Everton will run riot today.

Team value is already £103m - could’ve had a front line of Kane, CL and Werner, but swerved it as I’ll need to get Salah back at some point soon.

I’m having prolly my worst season. KDB just isn’t bringing home the bacon

Along_the_Wire

42 points yesterday with 7 still to play

Phil-McRackin

Swapped my captain from Kane to jota so hoping he bags a few later.

How do they score fantasy for soccer/football? I’m very ignorant to the sport but my impression is that it’s not as stats driven as say, American football, where you have touchdowns, yards, catches, sacks, etc. Soccer/football just seems much more fluid with less opportunities for “points”.

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)

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

Missing cue points, SM001
