This City performance is making me want to bring in Foden or Gundogan for Soucek. Foden always feels like a risk but always impressed with him when he does play.

Don't fall into the trap. Whenever he plays like this, he gets benched.

Come on Chilwell! Get me a clean sheet and an attacking return before I kick you out this week. Farewell gift por favor

Gundo's threat still very much there then, but only when they play a false 9. When Jesus plays his goal threat drops off.

However, 13 points after missing a pen! Delighted.

Shouldn't have put Gundogan as my 2nd sub. FFS

The greatest team in history
He's been awesome value for 5m.
Yep. I feel like people try to talk themselves out of something obvious sometimes. Especially when the price seems too good to be true.

Beauty is that money I've been carrying can turn any of my strikers into Kane now.

A goal each for Sterling and Salah surpasses all my expectations, so I’m happy with that.

I REALLY hope Bamford doesn't play tomorrow so I get 12 point DCL. Last week I didn't want my bench used due to Vestegard and his shocker and he came on. This week I do, and won't get DCL as Bamford is almost guaranteed to play

Antonio as captain risk failed, if I'd known Kane was back I'd have captained Son.

Gundogan has done me wonders today, despite wanting them to lose.

Just Dallas left. With bonuses included, I finish the day on 62.
Happy with that given the awful start. Think I'll finish above the average at least.

Still fuming that I have 18 points on my bench in DCL and Traore.

Just noticed I lost in the RedCafe head-to-head league to a guy who still has Jimenez in the team.

I really need to get myself a brilliant starting 11 and a really basic bench. Gonna have near 30 on the bench this week again, and in the 3 weeks previous have missed 15 point hauls by Soucek (twice) and Bamford
Unless you really think that you can improve the first 11, I don’t see the point. Soucek is perfect price for a 5th mid. Bamford, depending on when you got him, is fantastic price for a third striker that’s starting every week.

I’ve still got Mitchell to save a little bit of cash, but I also had 10 people play a few weeks ago, so it will definitely pay off having a stronger squad.

I think it's time for all of us to kick on in your mini leagues and get the edge with double gameweeks and the massive GW26 coming up! I need to make up 75 points.

Went from 30 to 58 with Chilwell pending today. Despite the multitude of feck ups this week, somehow I've done ok. But still painful that if I just left my team the way I wanted to initially, I'd be looking at closer to 70+

I'm thinking more for my mental health :lol:

I am annoyed for selling Chilwell. Did not want to risk 10 men again, but now everyone plays anyway.

Son, Gundo, Justin and Salah doing the business for me today
Exactly the same four.

Two more players, and if they get decent hauls, it's a game changing week.

Kane coming back is a bit of an arse though. That requires thought, as I don't think I've ever had a better balanced squad. So good that i'm losing a decent score on the bench each week - 15 for Bamford 3 weeks ago, 6 for Watkins last week, and 12 for DCL this one!

With Kane back, all us managers enjoying the rich life will be back to having 0.1 on the bench :lol:

Used bench boost yet?

Yes, got a 143 pointer that week, so maximised it.

So in a way, no need to have so strong a squad, but with covid and packed schedule doesn't hurt.

What I will do is shift one of my 2 expensive keepers. That was a very temporary move to get Pope lined up for next week, to not waste a free transfer.

I've got Kane and Watkins. Hoping both Leeds players get injured overnight.

Notice Chilwell back in (not that I had him). Going to piss off a lot of people who had him then binned him after Tuchel apparently didn't rate. Pep II
They neednt worry about Chilwell. He and Alonso will get rotated a lot. Neither worth having. Rudiger the one to have in that defence imo

Think it's the case that any winners from midweek's FA cup 5th round will have their week 29 game moved into a double in week 26?
Needs close monitoring that one.

Doh, the keep Mendy for a banker cleany didn't work then.
Should have just moved him to Pope and saved the bank. Oh well.

Would have been annoying to do it and then see a cleany.

That's some score.

You're now in an enviable position of having choices each week. Could be worse? :)

What's overall ranking now (guessing 143 would've really helped)?

The ridiculous thing was that it wasn't even the top score in my league.
Our leader scored 144, and beat me by Darlow of all bastads saving from whichever Villa player it was at 93:40, to get 1 more save point! Genuinely couldn't believe it.

I think I'm only top 94,000 to be honest.

The days of coming top 10,000 for 4 years in a row 2008-2012 would take almost miraculous efforts these days with so many playing!
