Next week is looking tricky for me - three Man City players and two Spurs players in my team, no games for them and no free hit or wildcard chips left.

come on chap - are you saying you don't have a colour coded spreadsheet of all the fixtures?

I mean er some people have that. Some of my friends

My fantastic season is suffering from a lack of wheels right now.

No Cancelo, KDB, Raphinha, Mendy or Cresswell this week means I'll be playing with ten men. Triple captained Kane for 36 points but so disappointing.

59 points this morning plus Iheanacho tonight plus Dunk & Aina to come in should equal 70+ points with a little luck.

I've had 5 weeks of red arrows now, nothing seems to be working for me recently. Currently only on 44 points.

my first red for quite a while thanks to a certain Mr Stones. Oh well feast and famine and all that.

I got rid of him last week luckily. I've got rid of all my Man City players now and I did have 3 of them at one stage. The Pep roulette has done my head in too much.

Iheanacho came up trumps tonight though if I'm a little selfish, if he'd taken one or two of his other chances, I'd be sitting even prettier.

As it is, I can't complain; a green arrow, finished 359k for the week with 74 points, up to 2218th overall and it's now my highest points tally ever since I've been doing this in eleven seasons.

Quite a long think will be needed ahead of this week's team. No Spurs or City players mean I'm missing Cancelo, KDB, Reguilon and Kane but I also have Cresswell and Raphinha injured and Mendy missed Chelsea's last game. Aina's Fulham aren't playing either so at present, I'll need to make one, maybe two transfers. Considering Vardy + Evans/Castagne for Kane & Cancelo, decisions decisions.

A nice solid 60 this week.

Antonio out, Watkins in is my only transfer.

Now looking just to beat my personal best now.

[cerb4.5lee]

I finished on 63 in the end because Iheanacho and Vardy came good for me. It is good to see a green arrow again.

[Dan_1981]

By some miracle I finished on 71 points.

So good to see a green arrow for the first time in about 6 weeks.

Have lost 200k places in the last few weeks.

Not to mention 10-15 on the PH league!

[GloverMart]

I've said goodbye to Joao Cancelo and Harry Kane.

I've said hello to Jamie Vardy and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

I'd say that means I have the following....

Martinez
Alexander-Arnold, Dunk, Cresswell
Fernandes, Lingard, Raphinha, Jota
Watkins, Vardy, Iheanacho

Two of those probably won't play but every transfer over and above the one freebie costs four points so they HAVE to contribute otherwise you lose out. Prepared to do it once, but not any more times.

Good luck everyone.

[hungry_hog]

good luck my fellow PHers. May the baps (bonus points) be with you for GW33

Always nice to have 2 or 3 baps

[MiniMan64]

Phew, just remembered the early start this week. Took a -4, Dias and Gunda out, Trent and Greenwood out.

The City clear out is complete, no more Pep roulette for me

[The Hypno-Toad]

No dogs in the hunt tonight so I can relax until tomorrow, Will Lingard be a good Captain three weeks in a row?

[GloverMart]

Don't ask me how my FPL team is doing this week, I may cry.

Okay, seeing as you asked... seven points from Lingard, Trent, Jota and Dunk. Seven, that is all.

Cresswell & Raphinha won't play which leaves me Martinez & Watkins, Vardy & Iheanacho plus Bruno Fernandes. Need a massive week from those five to salvage anything.

[hungry_hog]

this game defies all logic

left out Dunk last week vs Chelsea - CS
picked this week vs SHU - no CS

transferred in Keane as

I suspected Everton CS vs toothless Arsenal
has a DGW ahead

I was correct but Keane didn't play

aargh

[cerb4.5lee]

I'm not sure why I thought that it was a good idea to bring in a Wolves defender for this gameweek!

That’s gone well.

Barely got a single return...

Me too.

Even if Iheanacho (who is my only player left) has an amazing week, I'll be lucky to scrape 40.

Fernandes is heading towards the exit door for me, he might get a push through it this week dependent on budget.

Fernandes has played just about every game this season and it’s beginning to show. I think he needs a rest. I have him also but am considering dropping him, I just have no idea who for! KDB is likely to be kept back for CL and FA CUP as the league is more or less won, perhaps Mahrez? Has Foden cemented a place?

[Dan_1981]

Hasn't Fernandes got a DGW coming up though?
