Fantasy Premier League: Week 9

-

New week means yet another captain change.  I decided to go for Costa, as Chelsea were playing Manchester United and I figured with Costa scoring quite a few goals recently he would probably score, so I might as well get double points which would help cancel out the pain of losing points from De Gea conceding.  Let's see what happened...


De Gea - 0
Azpilicueta - 7
Bellerin - 7
Koscielny - 8 (pity his performance dropped when he was my captain last week...)
Williams - 1
Snodgrass - 2
Mata - 1
Lamela - 2
Coutinho - 10 (star performer in my team this week)
Costa (c) - 4 (don't know why I am surprised - I seem to have a captains curse!)
Ibrahimovic - 2

Subs: Mignolet - 0, Kante - 8 (gutted he was on my bench!), Negredo - 2, Galloway - 0.

Total: 44 / 427

£15 Super League - #6 / 12
League Riffiths - #3 / 8
@ftbllrswanimals - #12 / 48
Scotland - #20338
Gameweek 1 - #727611
Overall - #733991

Saturday started off the game week well with 6 of my team scoring a total of 30 points - Coutinho scored 10 of those points.  It seems like a long time since I had a player scoring double figures!  Both Koscielny and Bellerin scored fairly well also.  Sunday was always going to be a funny day with three players from Manchester United (including Goalkeeper De Gea) and three (one on the bench) Chelsea players (including striker Costa).  WIth Costa as my captain, if Chelsea were going to score I wanted it to be him.  Obviously I should have learned by now that I have a huge Captains Curse hanging over my team - Chelsea scored four goals with Costa scoring none of them.  To add insult to injury, Kante - who was on my bench - scored a goal!

This week overall, however, wasn't too bad as I scored more points than last week and climbed up all the leagues (apart from League Griffiths where I stayed 3rd).

Now onto Game Week 10.... Wonder who I should have as my captain?

Hello! Wow, it's been an awfully long time since I posted anything on here.  Life very much got in the way, and there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day! Seeing as it is fast approaching 2019 (I started this post on 31st December but ran out of time), I am in a very reflective mood and wanted to write more than I could in a Tweet or an Instagram post.  So, sit back and relax.... here goes: If you do follow me on Instagram, or even more so on Twitter, you will already know that I like a good moan, and 2018 provided a few things for me to moan about.  There were definitely lows, however, I'm not going to dwell on those too much and focus on the highs, the things I have gained in 2018, and the moments I have enjoyed. The start of 2018 was definitely a huge low at the time, with the end of a fairly long relationship.  I am so grateful to family, friends, and even strangers on the internet who sent me kind messages and helped me through the initial fi

Nailsxo World Cup Nails 2014 Nigeria Nails & Football, two of my favourite things! I am so excited to be taking part in this challenge, which is the brainchild of Emily over at Nailsxo .   Everybody who is taking part in the challenge was assigned a random Country which is taking part in the World Cup in Brazil (not long until it starts, yay!).  After being given the Country (I was assigned Nigeria ), the challenge was to make some nails based on the Country.  Also, which ever teams wins the World Cup, the person who was assigned them wins a prize (although, let's face it... I'm not really expecting Nigeria to do that well)! So here they are: My index and little fingers are my own take on Nigerian fabric patterns. I was using my friend google to help me find some inspiration for my nails.  I found a  website about Nigeria , and found out that tie dying is very popular.  I also did a google image search for Nigerian patterns/fabrics, an
