⚽ WOX FPL GW34 Update and Contest Winner 🏆
It was a fairly late Double Gameweek announcement giving players little time to load up on Chelsea or Manchester United assets. There's little appeal with Man Utd at the moment, given their dreadful performances but despite this, Cristiano Ronaldo's still ticking over nicely. On paper, there were plenty more Chelsea options which saw Mason Mount as Steemit league's most transferred player this Gameweek, who failed to impress. Only 2 of the Steemit league's entrants transferred in the high scoring Marcos Alonso who appears to have earned Tuchel's trust again and seems a shoe-in for the remainder of the season.
Gameweek 34 Round-Up
Having forgotten to update you on the winner of Gameweek 32, @guttaboy gave me a nudge and his inactivity meant that he was ineligible for the prize, having powered down and been inactive for 5 months. Despite his intention to become more active again, he hasn't done so which means that although he was top scorer (with 95 points), he misses out again. The prize instead going to me, with the following team that accrued 91 points:
Having played my wildcard to set me up for the rest of the season, I'm pleased to see an instant return despite Kai Havertz's inability to score from multiple opportunities.
Overall Ranking
For the first time since Gameweek 18 when @captain36 overtook @the-gorilla to go top of the table, we have a new leader as @the-gorilla's top score moves him back into the lead by 12 points.
@jmehta currently sits in 3rd place for the prizes although his activity also appears to be low at the moment ☹️
Head-to-Head League
@the-gorilla cruised to a comfortable win to remain top of the table whilst 2nd placed @captain36 narrowly overcame @avagah to keep his title hopes alive. It was a similar story with 3rd placed @chenty narrowly beating @hydra1.
The top 3 continue to lead comfortably and with just 4 Gameweeks to go, they're the only players now able to compete for the title.
Steemit Cup
As opposed to reviewing who's been knocked out, we'll take a look at the remaining players as we reach the Round of 16.
Of the players remaining, only a handful have officially entered so if all of them fail to go on and lift the trophy, the prize will go to whoever reaches the furthest with the prize shared if necessary.
This is a sub-profile of @the-gorilla
And there goes my steems, well it's fun competing in the fantasy premier league with everyone and I'm not going to stop playing because I'm not active on steemit. I'll definitely get active someday. But before then let me enjoy the game. I had quite a time this week during the last fixture, I had thought @fpl-gorilla would get ahead of my points for the week. But looks like I still won after all, and it appears I'm suddenly getting higher points just when the season is about to end. Can't wait for gameweek 34
I sometimes wonder if I even need to offer prizes because FPL is such fun and competitive in itself. I thought I'd be top scorer too but you pipped me to the post 🙂 Given how today's gone, I don't expect to be anywhere near the top this week. It's been a dreadful start to the Gameweek!
The current gameweek doesn't bring much of good hopes to me either, given that I had forgotten to edit my team. Well let's see how it goes.
🤦♂️
I can’t believe I have bottled the lead I’ve tried my possible best to maintain...anyway congratulations to @the-gorilla for your hot form in recent weeks but I still hope to regain the top spot before the last Gameweek
Title challenge😂
It was only a few weeks ago that I thought I was well and truly beaten. Once the deadline's passed, I like to look at your team and see what changes you've made 🙂
A lot can happen in the final 4 weeks, I need my boys to do me proud.
Sure we both putting up a strong fight...let’s see how it ends
I lot will happen between now and the end of the season. Especially if Klopp thinks that it's ok to bench Trent and Salah 😡
Obviously it makes our picks very tricky....City and Liverpool still have so many intense games to play so rotation of squad is inevitable...whilst most of the other teams have nothing to play for so their players are quite reluctant to deliver...very difficult situation for FPL managers.....
Anyway what team do you support in the premier league? @fpl-gorilla
It's going to be a very difficult end of the season to predict for all of the reasons that you say. I'm hoping to get lucky 🤞
None of them (I'm a Reading fan) 🙂
Yes and same for me😂
