The greatest team in history
Antonio looks great as soon as West Ham get through this tough run. Had him from the start, but clearly didn’t much attention to the fixtures with double West Ham!
Yeah I'm bringing him in gw8.

This is why I'm not feeling the Brewster love. Too many good striker options at decent prices.

Auba is out in my wildcard, and not coming back in.
Everytime I don't have him he seems to be central to all their goals. Whenever I have him and watch their games, he's hugging the touchline, can't beat anyone, barely gets involved and generally looks utterly average.

Atrocious gameweek so far. James benched, Mitchell comes in with 0, Bissouma second on my bench with 9. Now Mitro Jimenez and Auba look to be blanking so far. 1 point for Dallas and Justin. So far dropped 300k places.

Is it worth keeping Jimenez? Anyone watching them play?

Podence played at least. Two points gained. That feels like the second biggest positive thing so far for my team.
I feel like my wildcard has totally backfired. Nothing has really worked at all.
My old team was pretty bad, but would have grinded out the same points as my current pretty much.
Maybe even more if I had kept ASM and played him this week.

I feel totally lost with clean sheet predictions this season. No big club look solid enough.
Then you see West Ham looking like a great force after a poor start vs Newcastle.
Southampton starting badly, but then keeping two clean sheets.
Villa looking alright too even though they sucked last season.

Tell me about it...i killed wildcard already. And made things worse
I got Reece James who look like he will be dropped.
Werner who can't score or even get a chance per game.
De Bruyne who do not look like himself too.

I am going to take my time now and wait with my move.
Sadly it will be 0.1 lost on Werner I think, but will take it even if I sell him.

Ings, Martial, Vardy or Kane to replace him. I barely have enough to get Kane, but I should manage.
I don't feel amazing about any one of them so will have to look at the fixtures and see which one might do best.
Would be nice if Martial got going again, but he do not have pen like the others.

Could downgrade deep and get Wilson/Maupay maybe and then bring in Son again. Although feels like Kane plus ASM might be better balance for my team.

I'm like that with him wasted captaincy on him today, should have stuck on Wilson or DCL with Saint-Maximin on VC. Thinking of taking him out and swapping with someone like Pulisic when he's back after international break.

Have Romeu on the bench with 8 points Traore came on for 5 mins and cost me those points
Always hard with points on the bench. Wolves midfield feels tricky now. Could be rotation and they are not looking great in attack anyway.

He's one of these players who everyone thinks is topclass, but I just never see it.

Think i'm going to try and keep a big hitter 3 in midfield of Salah, Bruno, De Bruyne - all penola boys, and go three cheapos up front. Bamford, DCL and Brewster for now.

For 12m you need a midfielder to be a solid cap choice, and Auba more often not isn't.

Hoped for more from Wolves but Saïss is getting the 9 points, so I’ve at least got 14 from the three. They’ve got good fixtures, so likely to stick with them.

Whilst matches are as high scoring as this, I want my reliable Liverpool defenders. You’ve gotta start 3 defenders at each week, so just neglecting to invest and only getting 2 pointers is a leak long term. TAA and Robbo were two my first picks GW1, on the wildcard, and will likely stay for the season.

Yeah Saiss gets his revenge after 0 points last week. It is just very expensive to get 3 Pool defenders, but I might do it too at some point.
I think it is De Bruyne that gets sacrificied for me when I do it. Son plus TAA/Robertson feels better than De Bruyne plus 5.0/4.5.
Still not going to take a hit for it just yet.
I might regret selling De Bruyne though. Once in form he is magical at creating plus got pens.
Still Son is a top winger who I really like having.

Had to leave out Mane today else he'd be my Captain otherwise. That's a good idea regarding midfielders who take pens, i've done that before with Jorginho because he was the cheapest, funnily enough I've got no Chelsea or United players in the team but want Bruno in there for that reason but he looks overpriced at 10.5. My midfield is Rice, Aubameyang, Saint-Maximin, De Bruyne, Mane. Think I'll take out Aubameyang+Rice for Fernandes+Jorginho with next 2 free transfers and still have some money remaining.

Yeah, I’m not comfortable selling KDB quite yet, but could be convinced. I bought at £11.6m, so got a buffer before I take a loss. The next five are potentially low scoring for City.

I’ll probably drop VVD in the next couple of weeks to free up a Liverpool slot for Mane or Salah in GW6.

I think avoiding hits and being patient is recommended for the time being. No-one looks essential. DCL and Hamez possibly look the hottest buys if you don’t have them, but they have Pool next, which Everton always struggle against going forward. No-one am I moving Hamez in this week with the timing of the Columbia game too. Vardy has been very pen dependent. Then you get to Callum Wilson!

Let’s see how things shake down after the final two matches today.

fecking hell. I was gonna leave Son in my team in case he played but dropped him as I feel he'd come on for 5 minutes.

What a feck up with him and Bissouma on my bench :lol:

Took Son out, shit. He’s back in next week. At least Kane’s scoring. Need to go top of my mini league.
