FPL GW21: Preview, update and review (Deadline 10 Jan 11:30)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Nonsense. Come up with a cunning plan, play a few mini-WCs (-8pt hits) and you're sorted. I'll take a look at your bunch of ragamuffins later and drop you a carrier-pigeon.

Alternatively, who needs two kidneys anyway? :)

:lol:

My hopes now are pinned on Forster saving a penalty (or two) & Wanyama getting at least four :D
Cheers.

After than comment, I now realise why Unstuck Forest and mid-table obscurity are a match made in Heaven. :wink:

Am relieved to have scraped up to 60 pts this week largely thanks to my defence. Well done to all who have Sanchez and are sitting with huge totals this week.

I'm pretty sure the BSO award is going to a Sánchez Alice band this GW. Great call considering the plethora of options available. :notworthy:

I just had a sneaky look through some GW totals and was amazed how many of the 22 a) had Sanchez in their team and b) had him as vice-captain.
As the season goes on, it seems as if more and more people are fielding very similar teams ...

Sanchez somehow always sneaks under the Alice band radar doesn't he?
*makes notes*
;D
Cheers.

In Nigel-speak it's called 'template.' If your team isn't doing well, it's only natural to copy a team that is doing well. Whilst that may steady the ship, the problem of course, is that you'll rise and fall with another 2m players and never make any headway in your OR.

The key to this game is differentials. Picking the guy who's gonna be the next flavour of the month before anyone else has. That's what helps your OR and rockets you up the rankings.

Like I called Silva(c) in GW17, or JT as my Chelski defender of choice, simply because my gut felt they were both 'due.'

Totally unscientific, I know, and it doesn't matter how many stats I pour over in Nigel-land, as sometimes gut feeling does come into play.

Which is why I kinda like it. :wink:

So just putting the names on a dart board & hoping for the best is a no no?

It helps though if when you come to totally change your squad with a WC if your squad is worth £108.6 million compared to the team at the bottom which is worth £95.6 million.

In the long run the more expensive team will win. Think Man City and Southampton.

Spanked again... on our own patch. :(

Industrial Groove Machine 657 - 699 Eleven Imaginary Boys

GW21 differential: +42 The Cure

Overall differential: +119 The Sisters

FC Bennweg-Zeis 1921 (Johnny Rev 7.0) retain the Yellow Jersey, and rising phoenix-like from the ashes, high town FC (figie) take the Big Shout Out award this GW with a stonking 86pts. :)

On an IGM managerial note, and Mav agreed, we'd both like to give our own IGM Big Shout Out to Eastmids Whizzkids [s](Easttmiiidswhizzzkidss)[/s] Lee this GW. 8)

A gentle giant amongst men, extremely intelligent, and his top GW season score of 76pts makes me and Mav think; he may be getting the hang of this. :notworthy:

We'll lick our wounds, but bounce back. Dialogue is flowing in the 'secret' place.

Congratulations to EIB. :kiss:

*smug mode* :D

Nah, I was watching the live numbers over the last 2 matches & thought this would be a very close run week.
Some pretty strong scoring peeps on both sides too this week :notworthy:
Just looked at the fixtures for next weekend & I think the team choices are going to be a lot tougher. Some very evenly matched games there.
But once again, thanks for hosting the GW & well played everyone.
See you all over at the land of Lovesong & Lullabies for GW 22
:notworthy: :notworthy:
Cheers.
