So between de bruyne, salah and werner i got a total of 5 points. And two of them were captain and vice captain.

Thank you Bet365.

When they send you a offer at 10am offering evens on Salah getting at least one shot on target vrs Newcastle, you know something is up.

Captain Son thank you.

This bet has been offered 4 times this year - it's come in 4 times.... but also, he scored, assisted and bonus in 2 of the other 3. Odd way to take your advice. Paid off for you this week, still didn't pay off the bookies though as he got that shot.

Kane and Ronaldo have been more hit and miss with it.

I'm not doing terribly (80kish), but have really dropped the ball since GW31 (ie f--king nothing has gone my way). Now 53 points behind the leader in my mini league (cash, egos etc all on the line), so will have to change something up this weekend. We both have free hits left that will be played in 37.

He has Salah and will obviously captain him, so I need to hope he blanks and go with someone he doesn't have. The Coutinho transfer hasn't worked and won't work so I'm cutting my losses there.

Ditching Salah for KDB (C)

Then its Cout out for either Foden or Jota. Who would you say? I have an inkling my rival will switch Havertz for Foden. Leaning on Jota tbh as he doesn't have him.

What do you reckon? Foden or Jota? There is also the Maddison route...

So, I ended up going into 36 with a full starting 11 of DGWs without a hit.
Ramsdale
Cash Robbo Laporte
Salah Kulu Son Havertz Odegaard
Kane “Marlo Stanfield”

Subs DDG Andersen Mateta Schar

What I wouldn’t give to have used that bench boost this weekend… instead of when I used it and blew up in my face

All I have left is a FH. Im really tempted to save It for 37 or 38 since I’ve already got 11 DGW players. I suppose if Foden, Jesus, Cancelo or Mount go off it’ll sink me, but it seems a waste of a FH. On the other hand, in 37 I’ll still have Cash, Andersen and Mateta on DGW. Thoughts? I’m tempted to sit on the FH in case a disastrous set of injuries or cards hits the team in 37 or 38.

Had been planning to sell Kulu but now rethinking whether replacing a 6.3m player going into a DGW with 3 goals and 9 assists in his last 12 games is the most efficient use of a ft. Especially with Norwich and Burnley afterwards.

Yeah. I'm now thinking even if I bench him for the dgw, triple Spurs attack could be the way for those final two fixtures.

Might do Schar > Laporte for double City defence instead. Also West Ham looked awful at set pieces so could see him (Laporte) scoring against them in 37.

Will have to bench one of Coutinho, Kulu or Watkins in 36 though.

Watkins has had his fill so bench that useless twat.

Would mean I'd roll in 37 actually and be able to do a mini wildcard in 38 depending on who has something to play for. Son and Toney in for the Villa boys looks tasty.

Get the feck outta here. We don't need your kind. Someone get in here and post about how you made Salah Captain...
First post..in May of a season to boast about top 1k. Gotta love it.
Heh, sorry. Trying not to boast in real life because people were getting salty, thought I would share my joy here.

Feel free to ask for some expert advice :D.
For what it's worth if I still had a FH, I'd lean towards playing it 37.

It's too late for that mate. We're all dying in the depths of sub 50k :lol:

While your here though...

Broja and Dubravka to Nketiah and Foster for -4 and start with 14 dgw players...

Or Broja and Havertz to Nketiah and Foden for -4 and start with 13 DGW players...

Or finally, do all three for -8?

Ramsdale
TAA, Cancelo, Alonso, Matip
Salah, Coutinho, Saka, Kulusevski, Havertz
Kane

Subs: Dubravka, Davies, Mateta, Broja
Bench boosting, right?

Broja + Dubravka to Nketiah + Foster is worth the -4 on average.
Foden played 90 against Real and 79 against Leeds so if he starts vs Real again It might not be worth it. Wait and see.
I have Havertz and also not keen on him, surely he starts the FA Cup final which means he doesn't start one of WOL/lee, so transferring him makes sense if it's good enough. But nothing stands out for myself.

Another option is downgrading Havertz to someone like Ramsey, then bringing in Watkins and Ederson if affordable. Focusing on Villa players there (double double), unless you're FHing in 37.

Can I ignore Son much longer? I know he will stop scoring as soon as I get him back. I know how this game works this year.

At least with Salah or KDB if they haul and Spurs blank you get a green arrow. With Kane you need to hope he outscore Son against the odds.
Although roughly 50% of Kanes returns recently are assists for Son and even when he scores he do not get bonus.

Thanks mate.

I'm using BB36 and FH37...

Might just do option 1. Havertz and Foden both likely to play 1.5 games and in that scenario, I think i prefer Havertz...

It's all good.
Last season the high flyers waited until about 13seconds after the season ended to start giving it beets :)

A Ronaldo goal tonight would be so useful for me in my tight league it's unreal.

Not looking good so far!

Var sucks. Stop it one or two frames sooner/later and can decide if on or off.

Need lots of goals then (1) Toney can score a consolation for my Ff and (2) Garnacho can come on.
Just such a joy killer isn't it.
A captain VAR'd out goal the ultimate pits.

Think i might creep to 1 point ahead of 3 in my league as it stands, but that's a pretty paltry margin.

A guy in my own team is one of those, had one of those dream weeks, every twat scored for him.

I have one free hit left, but can easily field 11 players with dgw in 36. No City players though, which scares me a bit. Also I have shite like Havertz, White and Pukki.
Do i play the free hit, or wait to 37?

If Robertson plays tomorrow I think I'll assume he won't start both games in the double and swap him out.

Gonna have to look at this carefully too.
Could field 11 doublers, or 9 and Ronaldo & Toney.

But no City, and no Son, Kane or Chelsea mid/attack.

Not sure 37 is as good options for doublers?
