After several cups of coffee and ignoring a long list of jobs, the jury has decided.

I'm taking an eight point hit this week having got rid of Bruno Fernandes, DCL and John Stones to bring in Michail Antonio, Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Reguilon. Thinking of this looming Gameweek 29 so I have now got seven players to play that week, if I can get somewhere near the full XI without compromising the strength of the team, think 'll be all right.

So this week, I have...

Mendy
Cancelo - Rudiger - Reguilon
Gundogan - de Bruyne - Son - Traore
Richarlison - Antonio - Kane

Bench - McCarthy, Bednarek, Cresswell, Raphinha.

Although now I've typed that, I might swap Rudiger and Cresswell over.

I took my twelve point hit to accommodate a spot for De Bruyne. I've gone for a really weak bench because I've been getting frustrated with all the points that were being left on it(traditionally I usually go for a weak bench). I had Cancelo but the Pep roulette was annoying me(it still will too I guess!).

Mine...

Martinez
Cresswell -Stones- Dallas
Son -Gundogan -Fernandes -Salah -De Bruyne
Bamford -Kane

Bench- Fabri, Lewis, Struijk, Davis.

I'm nowhere near you in the rankings though at 650k.

Good luck.

And good luck to you too.... . 650k is still easily in the top 10% of everyone, a really good effort. (God, that sounds patronising, really not meant to!)

One thing I historically have shied away from is having two players from the same team in the same position but this season, I've accepted it and it has paid dividends. Until today, I had DCL & Richarlison up front, Stones & Cancelo in defence and both Mendy & Rudiger too. It works well when it's good but it's such a risk having two out of Cancelo, Stones and Dias. Would be better off having Ederson + 1 other really, Ederson's not going to be rotated. You've got Gundo and de Bruyne too, let's hope they smash the points this week...

I hope you do well - we have 7 first teamers in common.

Thanks a lot.

I was around the 3.2 million mark back in gameweek 9 so I'm chuffed with the way that I've climbed the rankings to be fair. Plus I do like a transfer as well(or 2 or 3!). I've never finished higher than 230k, but as long as I finish in the top 1 million I'm usually happy.

You are absolutely flying and I'd be over the moon in your position for sure.

Cheers. You too.

Played a impulsive last (10) minute wild card and shipped out Salah (actually forgot he was actually still in my team) and DCL in a rage at his wasted triple captain last week. Plus trying to plan ahead for the blank week.

Bringing in Aubameyang has paid early dividends!

[Drezza]

Took a -8 hit this week, DCL, Stones (Pep roulette) and Fernandes out for Rudiger, De Bruyne and Antonio

I've tripled up on Leeds which I reckon will probably bite me on the arse as they're off to London...

Auba could turn into a very nice differential for you I reckon.

[addey]

I had a shocker today and missed the deadline captain still on Salah from last week (and that went well.... ) plus a couple on the bench that I should have had in the starting 11. Should compound the rubbish season I've been having

I transferred out the same three as you and brought two of your three in, the exception being Rudiger who I had already. Instead, I bought Reguilon.

[i4got]

I've got Ward Prowse as first sub. He's on 8 with a second game to play - so at least10 points. Almost wishing that Bamford gets a prematch knock now.

[48k]

I subbed out Barnes and brought in Ward-Prowse this week. So far so good. Pep roulette will probably decide how the rest of the weekend goes.

[The Hypno-Toad]

8 points so far from two players both Villa.

No more ducks in the hunt until the Man City game now.

[GloverMart]

Two players so far = 3 points.

Traore (Villa) and Bednarek (6 points) who is my third bench. I hope to God that City smash them otherwise that's going to look like a bad decision.

[MiniMan64]

Is there a more frustrating game in the world?

Took my wildcard, worked well with returns from Bruno, Kane, Aubameyang but blanks from the City players and leaving Shaw on the bench hurt.

But not as much as seeing my nearest competitor in my work league miss the deadline yesterday, text me ranting about not captaining a City player in the their DGW and then today, who was his captain still from last week?

Harry Two-Goals-and-Two-fking-Assists Kane.

No, HTH.

Dropped Bruno and brought in KDB, that went well. Gundogan and Cancelo along with KDB need to rescue me from a poor week, nearly four millionth this gameweek. Have also got Cresswell, Mendy, Antonio and Richarlison & have dropped to nearly 3000th now.

I'm not even going to embarrass myself by saying what my score is so far. Need my 3 Man City plus Bamford and Dallas to have a record breaking couple of games.

Awful weekend.

Played Lloris instead of Martinez... benched Bruno.... captained Gundo....

I have a grand total of 23 points. with 6 still to play... which includes x 3 City, so I might as well give them either 10 points each or zero... dependent on Peps roulette round.

I had him as my vice captain and I keep wishing that I'd captained him. However I never would have because I'd always go for a double gameweek player, but it does show that it can really work well if you do pick a good single week player though.

[i4got]

Mason Mount is out of Chelsea's starting line up tonight. If he doesn't get brought on then my sub Ward-Prowse kicks in. 11 points already and a second game to come this week. So I'm hoping Mount does not get brought on for the last 5 or 10 minutes.

[Dan_1981]

Likewise if Rudiger stays off I get Bruno onto the pitch!
