A decent week this week with 62 points although my teeth are itching as I had Douglas Luiz (7) and Areola (10) on the bench. To be fair, Emi Martinez got me 8 points in goal so I shouldn't grumble really.

I have two free changes this week and have already made one of them. Considering the second change, not sure whether to bring in Udogie as a differential or possibly another Arsenal midfielder. Might wait to see how bad the injuries really are to Trent and Maddison.

48 - so not a disaster. Bruno to be moved out is the main change.

Need to check who is playing Wolves ...
Bruno is massively underperforming against his xG so that will swing back the other way at some point. They have Forest up next so I'm holding Bruno and Rashford for that to see what happens.

46 and I got -2 for Mac Allister.

And Paqueta on the bench.

Doh.

57 with two of my players missing penalties.

I really need to get onto a second Arsenal attacker and off Gabriel but I already spent -4 last week don’t really want to be taking hits every week!

Guessing not too many folks had Sterling in the line up given his recent record.

Good points for anyone brave enough to have picked him.

Looks a completely different player to his final days at City. Full of confidence and seems to have found the ability to make good decisions most of the time.

Think I've worked out my first transfer next week.

You may well be right, mate, & there are other decent midfielders out there to choose, just feel that Poch may get a tune out of him at last.

I hope so for you bud. beer

When he is good he is great I reckon, and I've enjoyed having in my team over the years when he has been on form for sure.

I wildcarded this week and very nearly put him in for Rashford but the injury put me off. Glad I dropped Gabriel though.

Less glad about leaving Udogie on the bench.

Man Utd have finally started a game with Rashford on the left and he's already got an attacking return. Who knew?

Dropped Bruno.

Benched Maddison.

Had Areola on the bench.

Sigh.

Credit to Peter Dignan and his team Tepic Truffles in the PH league - Boldly captained Sterling (38pts) and played a crazy but successful Bench Boost call which returned 15 points.

A big Haaland performance will ruin his weekend but otherwise great FPL'ing!

56 points so far, just Haaland (captain) to play on Sunday. I'm sticking with Maddison, Rashford and Fernandes for now but dumping Eze. He was a coin flip choice vs Mbeumo at the start of the season and I've got that one badly wrong.

Utterly dire for me today, four players on 1 point, and two on 2 points. Ugh.

Wholesale changes, maybe. The Brighton and Arsenal results were less than expected, all jokes about various teams being rubbish aside.

Thanks, I have never been so high… I read an article about Sterling on the Thursday how Poch was seeing greatness in him returning to his old self and took the plunge. I had already had used my free transfer so thought as I had no injuries across the team I would pay for it with the bench boost.
