Would I be mad to triple captain Son this week?

Hate this game.

I'm pissed now I have to take a - 4... Let alone a 24!

That's like wiping out last week's score!
Yes and I did think that myself to be honest because I only ended up with 27 last week!

I'm content with speculating to accumulate, however I do always push it too far though.

I've always admire you lot who can roll with it a lot better than me, and not get sucked into transfers like I do. thumbup

I'm not sure if I would, but if you have a gut feeling about it...then why not?

I tend to hang onto the TC chip for the double gameweeks though.

Its a gamble.

On the positive side, at home, Wolves are 7th for XGc, 3rd in actual Gc and have not kept a clean sheet so far this season. Son is top for xG and goal involvements away from home and in 6 away games has scored 6 goals.

On the negative side, obviously Wolves are therefore over (under?) performing their XGc (ie. they've actually conceded more goals than average for the type of chances created against them so the law of averages says that will swing back the other way at some point). Spurs will be without Maddison and have a few other injuries so it's not clear who will come in and how effective the supply to Son will be.

Haaland and Salah are the top captaincy choices this week but if you have neither of those then Son is arguably the next best choice, but if it were me I would be saving the TC chip for a double game week in the second half of the season.

+1. No Maddison feeding him. No Richarlison either - as bad as he he, again, he helped Spurs attack. Given Spurs defensive woes at the moment, Sonny might be a bit lonely up top this week..

To be fair, I feel much better now the bonus points have gone on.... hehe

I didn't get any but the updated average score this week so far is only 12 points so I'm not as st as I thought I was.

14 with 6 still to play. Here's hoping Villa, Man City and Brighton all have good games.

But here's the ridiculous bit, green arrows in every league at the moment!!! rofl

10 points from 6 players for me. Plus the -24 I took! What a disaster.
