@Ulven, nice job on the leaderboard and if I may request an additional column: Bitcointalk name next to the team name (if possible). Would be appreciated

Yes, it's possible to add a Bitcointalk name next to the team name on the leaderboard.I think it's a great idea. I will work on adding it tomorrow.

This fantasy will drive me insane, I swear.
I'm always 1 move behind, Gusto should have been out of my team already. He ruined a really good week, and will cause me another headache - his red card (and the return of James) means that he needs to go this week.

Can anyone tell me where to see points won across all league for a specific GW? I see only overall and per month.

Gusto is never a must sell, at least for me. He is cheap enough to be bench fodder and no way James stays healthy whole season. There is a lot of pages where you can see points in specific gameweek, I am using fplgameweek.com

While we are on topic of points in specific gameweek. Congrats to goodpunt, this week free bet winner. he absolutely smashed it with 107 points this week. Late points from Botman and Trippier came very handy.

Thanks Trofo I wasn't expecting much from this GW so I'm totally surprised that my team scored 107 points.

And I should remind myself that I shouldn't do any transfers just for the sake of it lost so many points during the previous gameweeks 

[cryptofrka]

I don't know why am I meriting these leaderboards Ulven makes when all I do is drop down week after week

I've had it with Rashford, but he'll survive another round unfortunately. I have both Stones and Gusto in my team, one is injured and the other one suspended so I need to look at a defensive replacement.
Time to go for Stones? This will be hard, since he's already dropped in price by a lot. When is he returning? He should have been ready for this weekend.

Goodness. I went to bed expecting my rank to drop from 6th to 8th or 9th. Not 18th 

I guess that's what an 8-0 Newcastle thumping does to you.

Sell all Chelsea assets. All they do is give your squad constant trouble.

[casperBGD]

Botman, Trippier and March saved my gameweek
first two by outstanding performance, third by being benched and allowed first player from my bench to get in first team

first teams with DGW next week, but seems there is no use from them for FPL

not sure what to do with Gusto, probably will keep him for a bit, there is a bench place for him, to spare transfer fee

We're more like Luton right now, with nothing worth hopping for.I never should have gotten them in the first place, and I'm not sure what to do with Sterling and Gusto at this point after taking -12 hits and finishing 28th from 9th. Since last season, I've never been this low on the table. Something isn't quite right.

[Trofo]

Sell all Chelsea assets.

How, nobody wants to buy them  Joking aside this was pretty much what I expected when Boehly goes shopping, overpaying for young unproven players and giving them 9 nine year contracts could have ended only one way.

You guys realize that Chelsea did not score this month? Can they pick a goal from training or youth team for goal of the month?

I need to get rid of Chilwell, Jackson and Sterling. As Jackson is suspended for next week I started with him and this cost me 4 points. If I use Wildcard will my 4 points come back?

While I'm leaving another very bad week behind Trippier's collecting 18 points managed to carry me a little higher in the standings. The value of Newcastle players started to increase after the 8-0 match. Do you think that Gordon is a player who should be transferred?

[icopress]

I can't believe I'm currently ranked 1st in the league (even though it was a really shitty week...and I dropped 400,000 spots). During all these weeks, I often wanted to do rash things... by the way, 3 out of 5 of my free transfers were unsuccessful. But every time I'm ready to hit the wildcard button, I ask myself, "is my team really that bad?" and this is probably the main factor why I haven't activated this chip yet.

This week I brought in the Luton striker for a double game week (I decided to hold off on buying Alvarez as Manchester City have difficult games ahead). And now before the 8th GW I am tempted to change the main players, so I think the time has come (Wilson, Digne, Areola, Lamptey, Archer, Maddison, Diaby).

If you use wildcard, all your transfers that week should be free, no matter if they are done before or after using the chip. I did it in the past and it worked. Same goes for free hit.

Gordon could be good move now that Barnes is injured. Nice way to save some money for Salah if that is your plan. I still prefer stronger midfielders and don't see how I can afford Salah without compromising too many other positions.

Not yet man, we have a game against Brighton in the league cup this mid week and that's a game left before month end. You know this but cook anyway.

Todd Boehly and co turning a champions league Winning club into a youth project was a big mistake. He singlehandedly killed Abramovich vision in less than 18 months. No way back now !!

I'm not really surprised, as you were really battling in the top 3 for pretty much the entire season.

I wish I hadn't wildcarded so early though...

Okay... what if I used a staged sign, can I expect that the opportunity for a free transfer will continue next week and I will have two free transfers?

No. If you use wildcard or free hit, you will have just one free transfer next week. That is 100%.

I am not sure if you would have 2 or 1 in case you already have 2 free transfers. Never tried that.

Why are you bringing up wildcards now? Is there anything else better than what you have now? I'll give it some time until the league balances. I'd like to wait till everyone has found their feet.

not sure if I understood it right, but you get one free transfer each week, and if you have one, next week there is two, if you use one from those 2, you will get one, and have two next week
(tried that this season)

probably you get three after two, but didn't get to that level, had to change Watkins for Alvarez, at really bad moment, before Watkins scoring Villa only goal, after being blanked when Villa scored a lot

each week above global average is good for me, lot participants, and close on points between places so far

You never get third free transfer. If you don't use one when you have 2, you have basically burned it.

We are talking about what happens when you use wildcard or free hit chip. In those cases you don't get free transfer. I am just not sure if you just don't get it or you are brought back to 1. That is situation that almost never happens.

These competitions are just too competitive, one bad run and you swimming in the deep end

Chelsea is a letdown week in week out!

Personally, I banked on these guys to have a good run of games for about 4-5 game weeks and they have blanked terribly...

What's even painful about owning Chelsea assets is that they can't keep a clean sheet in a game where they are considered favorites, and worse off they can not find the back of the net either  

At this point I have no choice am going to sell all my Chelsea assets, don't mind taking several hits on this one  

Time for some Newcastle assets, might catch an 8nil victory

[Rruchi man]

Welp! Great week I thought, getting 80 points (my highest so far).

My best week too so far with my highest getting 92 points. I know I will be better next GW.

Trippier...

He earned me my second highest points for the week very unexpectedly with his hattrick assist behind Saka who is now a doubt for Arsenal due to injuries. It look's like he is the next to be added to Arsenal's list of injury that is growing, Thomas Partey, Martinelli, Trossard, Rice and now Saka.

Saka is on many many people's team, will you transfer him out?

[Igebotz]

Arsenal's only threats in the next five games are Manchester City and Newcastle United. If you have Saka, I recommend keeping him unless you're getting Son.
