While one guy used his free hit well with the Bruno captaincy mainly (took out Kane, TAA, Cancelo, Antonio and Bowen who all scored well), a few others used theirs less effectively, including a ropey looking wildcard or 2.

Therefore, we go again, with 5 chips left and 16 weeks to use them.

Think that goal at the end cost me at least 10 points.

And now Bruno is down to 1 bonus from 3.

Ah well probably my best ever captain return and up to 51k with a 104pt gw.

14 points COMBINED from Ronaldo, Ronaldo, King, Mount, Alonso and Dalot when they were all having a juicy double gameweek! What the absolute feckity feck?!

Can’t believe I only got 52 points this week.

Small red but not much else I'd expect without Bruno this week. Oh well. Hopefully upcoming doubles are less shit.

So yes I am the biggest freaking clown this round.

I could have done Son to Bruno as an easy move, but no I wanted Ronaldo.

I also had Kane in my team and sold him for Ronaldo since Spurs was not going to double.

Then did not have enough money for Bruno so went for Mount.

The -8 I took to get in Bruno(c) Maddison and Cucurella got me a modest 59 points :drool:
Up to 30k and closed the gap in my top mini league from around 100 points a couple of weeks ago to 22 points.

Similar to you, but without the extra gutting thing of Kane out.

Captaincy this week is awkward, and a Friday night game so early call.

Having done the -8 basically to get Ronaldo in it might have to be him. Double or nothing!

Crazy DGW return from Bruno.

I had the money to bring him in but I was paralysed by indecision at the deadline.

Kudos to those who brought him in though, especially those that gave him the armband.

Should've taken my own advice and brought in Bruno, but still came in @85 all out. I'll bloody well take that.

93 points this GW which according to LiveFPL will take me to 9176 OR. That must be the highest I've been in a long time. Possibly ever.

Just went ahead and made my transfers for next gameweek, not waiting on COVID postponements or what not, since the gameweek starts in 2 days.

Kane -> St. Max
Edouard -> Dennis

Ramsdale
Tierney - Cancelo - Laporte - TAA
Maddison - Jota - Bowen
St.Max - Dennis - Antonio

Bench: De Gea, Gallagher, D.Luiz, Reguilon

It's crazy having £10.5 in the bank!!

Will finish on 67 (-4)

Pretty happy, I was worried I'd get battered this week by Ronaldo captainers. De Gea captain actually worked out okay with 16 points, but feck me it was looking a lot better before that Brentford goal!

On 72 points. Happy with that but there a sense of "what could have been" if I just followed my gut instinct and not listened to Ralf's lies...

Have no idea who to Captain next GW. If there's no double then I'll definitely roll my transfer.

So I have issues in my team.

Targett likely being dropped now.
Mount getting blanks.
Ronaldo being a bit shit.

Thus do I keep Mount and Ronaldo and then do Salah in and one striker soon?

Or do I bring in Coutinho or a City mid potentially and keep Ronaldo.

Or bring in KDB right now as a captain?

Madness. Could be a dgw announced before the deadline. You'll want Édouard back the week after as well.

My ML rival just turned 60-point deficit to me to a 10-point advantage :lol: He has no chips left so I’m still in a good position but that was great. Bruno of course.

I had my worst week ever I think.

Right time to bring some United players in. Think we are slowly getting into the game now.

Elanga is the real deal I think.

Perfect squad player. Fred is being more attacking as well.

After I have removed Ronaldo to get Salah back I can need a cheap player to replace Gray.

None of our wingers are nailed and they are the best value for money potentially. Hard to fit Bruno and Salah in unless you go really cheap with the rest of midfield/attack and not sure Bruno will be worth anywhere near the price anyway given how streaky he has been in FPL. Ronaldo is a trap.

Fred could have had another assist today, if not for Bruno fluffing .

That's 3 assists in 2 games ever since he started playing more advanced.

Fred, Dalot and Elanga could be some decent punts.

There are too many great value midfielders to go for someone like Fred who will maybe get points every 4-5 games, or Elanga who will inevitably be rotated. Midfield is actually very tough to fit anyone in as there are basically like 10 pretty amazing options.

Attack is opposite, there are just no forwards in this game this year. I’d 100% get Elanga despite rotation risk if he was classed as a forward.

Why didn't Bruno just do a normal finish, would have gave me a 100 point GW
First world problems right here

I have 3 and want rid of all of them. We can't keep clean sheets, we don't score enough goals and most of our players are over priced
