Benched points

Thanks FPL for highlighting my poor selection performance with the "Points on Bench" listing.

Anyone able to beat my 166 so far? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

71, with 18 being the peak for a single game week. Oddly enough those 18 bench points in GW4 were spread pretty evenly across 4 players (2, 4, 6, 6). I bet loads can beat that with Wilson's 17 easily. :)

One of the few benefits to having next to useless bench fodder :lol:

Not that the lack of points on my bench have positively affected my points on the pitch, I hasten to add..

166 is absolutely ludicrous after only 13 weeks. It's actually extremely impressive that you managed it! :lol: :shock:

I just did a count of these to make sure it was accurate. I think it's actually 168? :)

Massive sympathy TC that takes some doing even if you were trying for most bench points. 55 for me and that includes 15 for Mahrez the other week which was easily my worst individual one

My worst individual week is 10, but 9 were from my goalkeeper (my playing keeper scored 6), so I've yet to really suffer any benched points frustration this season.

I've benched 110. It's not quite as impressive as Catman's haul though.

Super bench stars have been, Cresswell, who managed a 12 point haul away at Liverpool, as well as a benched CS in week one away to Arsenal; and Joel Ward who managed 10 points at home to Arsenal with a goal and some bonus, and scored away to Chelsea (I was at this match :) ).

Worst week: Cresswell 12 [Assist, CS, 3 bonus vs Liverpool], Ward 8 [Goal vs Chelsea], Wanyama 0 (did not play).

60 so far. I'm surprised some have a lot less since I don't have a playing backup keeper, had Oxford for 8 weeks and have Westwood as my 5th mid!

166 is ridiculous, but how did you manage to bench Barkley at the weekend? With Everton home to Villa. That smacks of bad selection rather than just bad luck.

82 points benched overall, apart from the one week i lost 15 points for benching Mahrez it´s been ok. Happy that Ward is back so all my bench fodder is back to playing leading into December.

120... frustrating, but overall my performance has still been quite good. Frankly I'm not that surprised that there are a few of us with a large number of benched points. For some, this can be explained by having a strong front-8, and not necessarily making poor choices, but just having another strong option on the bench yet perform well when we picked a different player for the starting 11. When Aguero funds were spread around after GW8, many of us opted to invest in strong players all around, so despite the benched points, it's somewhat of a mixed bag as that still helped build team value with those players going up in price...

Yay, looks like I am the winner!

No, I wasn't trying for this. I'm not sure why I benched Barkley but I don't think anyone would have expected him to score two. Mahrez has been another mistake, but I guessed that his form would dry up soon.

Some bad luck, some awful management.

Are you going to bench Agüero or Sánchez this week? I'd just like the information for my captain decision.

126 points including 23 this week (Ayew on the bench amongst others) and 20 points in GW1 (Albrighton on the bench).

I only have 128 captaincy points too and that includes 50 points for Aguero in GW8 and 26 for Kane this week!

124 points, lots of those from Butland I suspect as I also have De Gea so play him most weeks. My worst week was 20 points last week, including the 10 points from Simpson - although I never considered playing him, so I'm not that annoyed. Annoyingly my rival had Darmian who was benched, and Simpson was his first choice benched defender - so jammily he got the 10 points off the bench, SO lucky!

156 total points from captaincy so far, including the 50 from Aguero which skews it a bit!
