I am laughing so hard here. I have seen some serious punts in the La Liga game to fit the big strikerS in.

It is an art itself to let some slates go and give one self a break. Waiting for Dortmund vs Bayern game to start soon.

That Mondo GPP is looking skinny now and must be on a diet for lack of fish. Just sharks with all combinations swimming there. Funny playing Turkish, Russian and Chinese leagues. No sharks in there.

Siggy bringing home the bacon hopefully.

aguero/navas/oviedo/traore all hitting their absolute ceilings killing my otherwise pretty solid lineup. ******ed mirallas getting a red didnt help but everyone prob has him.

But ya siggy was pretty clearly the best play this week. makes me sad people going to get away with fading him cause of run good.

And idk why you wouldn't have Traore in there. lol at his ceiling being a goal and nothing else though.

If you picked him, he will have done diddy squat. That is how it goes, the swings of DFS can hit low in unpleasant way. Looks like next week fixtures will be the slimmest of slim pickings.

Payet wants to get into the French squad for Euro 2016. Best to pick him as he looks extra motivated. West Ham breath of fresh air, Everton regressing bad.

See you all for the UCL games midweek.

Oviedo was a trap play not being on corners anymore. Way better spots defensively. Was never going navas and Silva. Figured navas was more likely sub risk. I went Willian since cesc wasn't in to vulture fks cks. Traore gonna be a sub risk and honestly didn't like Chelsea that much today and was going to fade them altogether .

Traore : 67 min 2 shots 1 on target 1 kp. So Ya one goal is pretty damn close to his absolute ceiling.

If he was on the wing completely different story.

Also think Silva even on corners was a poor play, looked at him n had him for ages when saw no sterling or kolarov but figured floor is still low since not many crosses from open play.
Willian was close wi no fab so all corners...
How did shaq get on? Haven't looked but thought he was bad play thay would get majority on him.
Oxford failed me.

Traores floor is like 4/5 pts and a ceiling of like 16.

If you decide to not play Willian then he's okay for Chelsea exposure (prob prefer Oscar cause Pks).

Chelsea were likely to rotate a lot and Stokes been pretty solid so it wasn't exactly a slam dunk match-up.

Prefer 2.8 for traore than Oscar for pens.
Oxford let down as whu right should have good success in this game.
Forster just unlucky today, payer hit his ceiling.
Happy to only lose 50% tbh

Martina/baba best defender today. Baba as no bench replacement so guaranteed minutes, only negative of Martina is sub replacement.

I stacked City players, 97 points, 5 players, did really well, but that's kind of besides the point because I thought it was a fairly obvious pick vs easily the worst EPL team.

Not attacking you fwiw, legit curious.

I had bony and Silva. Bony ran slightly bad and hit the absolute bottom of his floor. Never said anything wrong with going any if those city players in a vacuum, but you need to consider the implications of playing them all together. Only one ball to go around. Relying on players hitting their absolute ceilings generally isn't good in the long run.

Fwiw had city projected at about 2.2 goals so hitting 4 is performing a good bit above expectation (caleys plot had them at 2.4).
