Exactly. Considered bringing in a second City defender too, Dias or Stones but I've got the same worries there!

Didn't think Stones played last night so I am going to risk it.

Dropped Salah?!?!

I'm currently sat with 11 double gw players plus a playing keeper and three Leeds assets.

I'll take a -4 to swap McCarthy for a DBL keeper... Possibly Lloris, Schmeichal or De Gea

I'm contemplating a -8 to swap one of the Leeds assets short term... Maybe Dallas out for wan bissaka
I had to get shot of Salah to bring Kane in to be honest. Only way I could bring in the budget....

Goals from two defenders in my team. Not often I get that.

I've triple captained Kane. Cancelo being benched annoyed me, but I do at least have Stones.

I put Dias in for a -4 and my nearest competitor had Stones. Felt all smug and then Stones scored too.

Not sure what the rules are in this situation.

Normally if you have a midfielder that doesn't play you get the points from a midfielder on your bench.

What happens in a double game week where you have a midfielder get injured in the first of his two games and will not play the second as a result.

My guess is tough - just have to suck it up, but wanted to check whether I'd get anything from the bench for the missed second game.

I’m assuming you’re talking about Barnes? If he’s scored anything across the DGW which he has then no ones coming off the bench for him. If he’d played in neither game then he’d be subbed but if he’s played at all, even for 30 seconds, you get naught.

Yep, there is some sucking to be done. I think its a stupid rule myself but there you go.

Could be I am biased though because at the very last minute, I changed my captain plan mentioned up there ^^^ and now Barnes is looking crooked for the next game.

It’s why none of the automatic subs happen till the very end of the game week. Same thing for Cancelo, he didn’t play yesterday but may play midweek so he’ll only score for that. If he doesn’t play again in either game then he’ll be subbed

I dodged the Barnes bullet but I need a big night for DCL otherwise I am all red arrows. Didn't have Kane or Son compared to some of my competitors!

A lot of people had a shocking day yesterday as the goalscorers were (with the exception of Kane) low-ownership players.

2.7% - Tielemans
0.8% - Luiz
4.0% - Lacazette
0.8% - Pepe
0.6% - Bale
32.4% - Kane
1.2% - Moura
0.8% - Jones

I resisted the temptation to go off piste and captain Bruno and instead stuck with Kane, but I wish I'd gone Son now, that's being picky though. Hoping for a big night for DCL and Richarlison tonight....

So the second round of this big week starts tonight.

I finished round one with 56 points which is not so bad..... until you look at my team and see that 39 points of those points came from 4 players in defence. No Barnes tonight so my captain is screwed.

Hmmm...... scratchchin
