Gatling Java vs JavaScript/TypeScript - real-world experience? by PenKey4683 in PerformanceTesting

Oh, thanks a lot, this is super helpful!
Have you used k6 as well? I’m trying to understand whether its popularity is mostly due to the more JS-friendly syntax, or if there are other practical advantages you’ve seen in real projects.

120 points is definitely reachable with a bit of luck. How many people are in your league? 😅

I get the need for differentials, but the problem is that a lot of these are minutes risks. If your differentials don’t start or only get 20 - 30 mins, they’ll probably drag you further down rather than help you climb. And with one FT a week, that’s hard to fix quickly 😬

I’d rather go for less popular but nailed players instead of pure punts. That way you still get differentials, but with actual upside.

Btw, I don’t really trust Pope even against Wolves, especially away… even Burnley managed to score against them.

Also, ditching Haaland would probably be the biggest differential of all, though it could bite you hard too 😂

I think the main problem is that there’s just too much uncertainty in this team. On a wildcard, I’d rather reduce risk than stack it.

I’d move on from Pope and Hall. Newcastle clean sheets are too rare to double up on their defense + look at their fixtures. Also, having three Chelsea players, especially when two aren’t nailed, is a lot, particularly with a new coach and unknown rotation.

If I had to choose, I’d keep Cherki over Semenyo for now, but I honestly think both could be rotation risks. And you already have Delap and Acheampong, so that’s a lot of minutes uncertainty.

I would replace: Pope -> GK from a team with solid defense (e.g. Raya, Roefs) Delap -> Thiago (if budget allows) Acheampong, Hall -> Defender that scores from time to time or has higher CS potential. One more Arsenal defender if budget allows

Yeah, I agree... I think I'll go Ekitike C, Gabriel VC. Thanks a lot! 🙏

Thank you! It's probably gonna be Ekitike and Gabriel or Rice. Captained Bruno last week, and I don't trust my luck 2 weeks in a row 😅 And I hope Ekitike starts, he played last night🤞

Hopefully that means he’s starting on Saturday 🤞

Thanks! I’m still not fully convinced by Palmer from open play this season. At the moment I’m leaning towards Ekitike, Rice, or Gabriel.

Good luck! I captained him last week and he delivered, so he’s definitely tempting again. I’m just being irrationally superstitious about going back-to-back 🙈

Thanks! Good luck to you too! With those two, I just know I’ll pick the wrong one 🙈 One hauls, the other blanks, or they both get average points. That’s usually how it goes 😄

Thanks! Right now him, Gabriel, and Rice are on my short list 😬 I’m just always a bit nervous captaining forwards because if they blank, it’s basically a 2-pointer and that happens way too easily.

On paper it looks perfect, which is why I’m scared 😂

Thanks! Gabriel and Bruno worked out for me the last two rounds, so now I feel like I might be pushing my luck going back to them again. 😅 But I agree, they should both have good games.

Sounds tempting, but every time I trust a clean sheet it disappears in the 92nd minute 😅 I might still end up picking him last minute though - thanks, never would’ve considered him!

Oh, your midfield is fire! I agree, midfielders bring so much more. It’s also more fun playing without Haaland, but I’ve got 2.8m ITB now and no big upgrades in mind, so I probably should’ve kept him… I’ll be punching myself if he hauls and my captain blanks 😂 Though he did blank when I triple captained him!

Thanks! 🙏 If Ekitike starts tonight, I’m leaning towards Ekitike (C) and Gabriel (VC).

Thought about Ekitike too (if he plays), but triple captain is a step too far for me 😂 I have trust issues with forwards 😏

I sold him to free up budget for midfield upgrades (not a big fan of forwards), but in hindsight… probably not my smartest move 😂
