Not sure what's worse. The score, the fact I have 2 assist Munoz on the bench or that a rival I had a 40 point lead on has Maguire and Bruno subbed out for 16 point Jackson and clean sheet and possible assist Anderson hoovering most of that 40 up.

Well, the best win today was that my -4 cost 1 point because Eze somehow managed to do nothing against us.

Yikes, I said I was worried about pace v Cas/Evans but didn’t think the rest of the team would be so shite. Pathetic, Casemiro should give his wages to charity.

I’m beginning to think Ten Hag might not be here next season:nono:
Add Eriksen to that too, it was obvious we would struggle. Casemiro didn't need to go out of his way to help them though. Agreed he should give up his wages for the week. He was disgraceful.

Glad to realise this guy didn't have Anderson subbed in after all. Was some 2 pointer.

Sinking like a stone in recent weeks, despite getting good scores above average. Was 25k in gw32/33 but now find myself around 50k.

This weeks average was 71 and I got 90. Surely that should have been enough to avoid a red arrow? Feck this game :lol:

Lost 10k spots in the top 50k getting 96 (-4). Bloody Haaland is to blame and all the people with Petrovic and Jackson.

On this team so far :
Vic
Romero-Burn-Cucurella
Gordon-Palmer-KDB-Foden
Jackson-Isak-Haaland

I dont like my defence, but not so sure who else.
Jackson or Son is the one i really cant decide on. Jackson with two okey matches, but both away. Son with Burnley at home and usually doing good against the better teams for the City match.

Will take a -4 to field (and use BB):

DUBRAVKA
VAN DE VEN, GUSTO, GVARDIOL
MADDISON, SON, PALMER, FODEN
HAALAND, JACKSON, ISAK

Subs: Areola, Saka, Gabriel, Reguilon

Feels shit having my big differential as Maddison :lol:

Unfortunately not as hyped up for this double as I thought I would be.
Too many teams have the same players and too many teams have their BB-chip available.
Big questions for me is wether I stand with my Man United players or if it's worth taking hits to get them out. Let's how I feel about that on Saturday morning when we know more about Bruno's availability.
Will have use my two free transfers either way and the plan is to look like this (beforedeciding on eventual hits) with BB in play:

Onana, Petrovic
Burn, Gabriel, Porro, Romero, Dalot
KDB, Foden, Son, Palmer, Garnacho
Haaland (C), Jackson, Isak

1,7M ITB

Do we trust our guys to bounce back if Bruno is fit?
Can do Dunk and/or Gordon for Dalot and/or Garnacho for -8/-4 if needed, but that will leave me with a even more boring template team.
Thoughts?

I'll be a -8 for this BB (just got to do Zab & Neto out for Romero and Onana (eurgh))

Onana
Gusto Romero Burn
Palmer KDB Foden Son
Isak Haaland Jackson

Areola Saka Gabriel Reguillon

If you want to be differential then don't captain Haaland. Just know what you're risking with what happened (to me and others) at the weekend. I can afford to do it again though this week so probably gonna go KDB again or maybe Palmer.

I trust enough players will try to go different with captaincy this week to actually make it "climbable" to captain him. Same as this weekend, where his effective ownership was much lower than expected.

I mean yeah as there will be slight difference across all squads naturally. Depends what your goals are really. If it's overall rank then I'd captain Haaland but if it's chasing in a ML and you're safe enough not to make it worse then absolutely it's worth the risk. I need to make up 35 points to the guy in front of me (43 with a -8) who I'm also playing in the cup for cash this week as well. Highly unlikely but I have no choice really.

Can't decide what GK to get...

Brighton - De Fraud might bring in Steele and they're shit anyway.

City - Getting Gvardiol so already trippled up.

Spurs - Already trippled up.

Chelsea - Already trippled up.

Newcastle - Dubs was my choice but just realised Pope was on the bench last game so he could be back any minute.

United - :lol:

Despite the laughter, I might be forced to go with Onana as he's the only one I can get that will definitely play both games. My worry is if he ends up on minus points...

2 transfers ITB: Gotta transfer Maguire out

Raya+Maguire to Pickford+Tomiyasu? (I think that Pickford has a higher ceiling for bonus points than Raya and Everton statistically have a better chance of clean sheet + Tomiyasu has as good xG as Gabriel and probably starts)

Or:

De Bruyne+Maguire to Richarlison+Gvardiol (and Keep Raya)


I think both De Bruyne and Richarlison will get around 2 x 70 minutes. Gvardiol wont keep a clean sheet against Spurs I think.

What does the rest of your team look like and how much money ITB?

Raya+Maguire to Pickford+Tomiyasu? Aren't there a double GW this week? Tomiyasu isn't nailed and Pickford has Arsenal away in 38 and only 1 fixture in 37.

De Bruyne+Maguire to Richarlison+Gvardiol (and Keep Raya) I don't hate this. The question is:
De Bruyne + Royal/VdVen (use only one transfer and have 2 for 38 - Spurs have SHU in 38)
or:
Richarlison + Gvardiol (Only 1 transfer next week and more template than alternative 1)

Bruno still not seen in training. I already had maguire to deal with and now with Bruno being doubtful, it’s really making things complicated. Add to that, I wanted to bring in Jackson and remove Gusto so that’s -12 ….. a well planned gw37 couple of weeks back is turning into a nightmare

:lol: oh, should probably point out that I’m free hitting in GW38 (is this a humblebrag?)

So it’s just for GW37

current team and I’m benchboosting:

Raya - Petrovic
Gabriel - Tarkowski - Krafth - Porro - Maguire
KdB - Foden - Gordon - Palmer - Son
Isak - Jackson - Haaland

0.2 itb

FH active. Current draft is:

Ederson
Porro, Burn, Cucurella
Son, Foden, Palmer, Gordon
Jackson, Isak, Haaland​

Subs: Pickford, Bowen, Dalot, Branthwaite

What changes would people suggest. Not convinced on my back 3 but not sure who to go for instead.

I've gone for the Brighton keeper in the folorn hope that he's a positive differential and that Steele doesn't suddenly get brought in

My dilemma now is so I get rid of bruno and gusto for a -12. Head says no...

Yeah this is me. Have £5m exactly for GK. Neto is 0 points so has to go. Can't be Chelsea. Can't be City. Can't be Spurs. Brighton and Newcastle is hard to predict so by process of elimination it has to be Onana doesn't it unless there's a great single option for the last 2 weeks under £5m, which there isn't.

I just hope he gets save points in both games.
