Bruno and Martinez both flopped yesterday, in the latter's case doubly annoying as Mendy came in and kept a clean sheet... rofl

Watkins (assist) helped but I need both Vardy and Iheanacho to both get hat tricks to rescue even a remotely decent week for me.

As regards Bruno, may well keep him in. The Manchester clubs are either playing their prized assets until they drop or rotating them like fk, wish I could foresee some of these squad selections. hehe

I think I'm going to hang onto him as well, only because he is so heavily owned though. He definitely isn't much of an FPL asset anymore for sure.

43 with only Iheanacho to play. If he could get a goal tonight and perhaps an assist too that'd be grand. Overall a low scoring week for many I think.

Problem with getting rid of Bruno, if you owned him long term it it's a one way transfer due to big price change

You have to be sure you won't want him back, unless you have another makeweight (prob Salah) who can be swapped for him if need be. But then you probably don't want to lose Salah either...

Indeed! Great result and potentially my highest weekly placing depending on how some others have done.

Well played!!! clap

Iheanacho helped a little last night with a goal & an assist, thanks to MissChief's mystic predictions. Sadly my team received two more kicks in the teeth with the news that I had Vardy and not Iheanacho as captain and to rub salt in the wounds, the whole week was capped by a four point deduction for making an extra transfer.

29 points. Shudder.

Move on. 4.8 millionth this week, 5,950th overall. This week, have Cresswell and Raphinha unikely to play + several out of form players to contend with.

Horrible week, we go again.... hehe

43.

Given the circumstances, happy with that.

Interesting week this week coming. Spurs are back but I have got a funny feeling Sheffield could beat them... scratchchin

59 and team looking good for next gameweek, jumped on the Iheanacho bandwagon and paid off it seems.

I'm pleased that I don't have any Man City players anymore, City players are an unnecessary stress that you just don't need I reckon.

The Pep roulette can drive you mad for sure.

They might be the league winners this year but having City players in your FF squad is a disaster waiting to happen

yes

I've only got KDB left now, had three City players a month ago but it's too risky. KDB missed out this week so Dunk came in which was lucky. I've also had contributions from Iheanacho, Watkins, Mendy and Evans so far & still have Reguilon, Jota, Trent, Bruno and Lingard to go. 500 places up at the moment so today will either be soaring higher or down to earth with a bump.

well well. Looks like I may only get 9.

Potential big impacts from the postponement

Most people have at least one Man U / Liverpool player, some people 2/3 of each

If you had that + City players you're in the schtuck. After my -2 for Stones 2 weeks back I feel it's payback!

Comes down to bench. Luckily I have Dunk to come in smile

Most difficult aspect is when they'll manage to rearrange it.

47 so far but......

My reading is that all my three players who didn’t play (Diaz, Rashford, Salah.) will be replaced by my entire bench (Welbeck, Veltman and Targett) to come on?

So that will be 67 then... with Lingard still to play... smile

Too soon to break out The Toads Jabba laugh?

Permission granted! thumbup

Looking forward to next couple of weeks and Gameweek 35 is a double one for eight teams but four of them don't play the following week (There's 14 fixtures in Gameweek 35 and only 8 fixtures in Gameweek 36. Add in the Man U v Liverpool game will need to fit in somewhere too and it's a tricky time for squad selection.

All three of my strikers play twice next week + Bruno, Evans and both Mendy & Martinez so might cost myself four points and bring in two transfers. May well finally get shot of KDB as I also have Bruno too and lacking budget.

I think next week is the one for BB if you still have it, and FH week after (for those that have it)

I'm in the odd position of trying to 'block' my ML rivals, possibly at expense of rank. As my OR is nothing fantastic happy to do so.
Bit of cash at stake, not going to start my own hedge fund from it but will pay for a nice Hawksmoor smile

Thought I was doing okay in my work league as my title rival had a blanking Kane as captain ...

...and then I noticed he had Bale...
