Having a genuinely shocking week... shame as my WC team smashed it last week. Ah well.

Every defence seems to be a trap! Do we go with Brentford ??

Atkinson deffo had Salah as captain this week while his rival had Ronny

53 all out. Far too many 2 pointers this week. Defence and keeper has 8 points combined

Well done mate, that’s actually a very nice alternative team. However, 6 players in the same game next week might bring you backdown to earth with a bang!
Thanks! Yeah but thats something for my monday me to worry about, today we celebrate!

We won't get that many all season. Calling it now
Yep, if we're not getting them for stuff like that 91st min Ronaldo one, we're not going to get any at all.

However, we won't have Atkinson that often.

No regrets

Got me 18 points when I desperately needed a boost on this awful week.

He scored, and should have had at least a PK
I'm well above the average FPL scores at this point

50 points
He could have, but imagine the hauls he'll have in other games, against pony at home. Or in a double game week. :drool:

I could really do with a Lukaku blank here. Benrahma and Ronaldo really helped to limit the damage in my mini league.

It's gonna be really hard to replace Ronaldo with Lukaku. He looks like he can get a hat trick every game.
On my run today, i had some Sky sports podcast on the go, and G Nev was going through all the stats. Basically suggesting Ronaldo's touches, dribbles and impact outside the box has gone down a lot over the years.

Didn't look that way today. Loads of touches, a few dribbles and tonnes of shots.

Yeah. Had another clear chance in the second half. A couple of other very good chances and two strong penalty shouts.

Since his debut he has a better xG than 16 teams in the league. :lol:

It’s hard to see where Ole is going to leave him out in that run of tougher games, but something has to give with Cavani coming back. He’ll obviously sit out the game on Wednesday. Maybe Ole will start Cavani against Villarreal?

I’m hoping it’s not the Everton game as I’ve got tickets for that :lol:

Should have scored that 46th min chance.

But he looked keen when he got it out wide to dribble into the box which impressed me.
Both main times he did it he could easily have had pens.

Will be interesting to see if he's in the squad midweek.
I'd probably leave him out totally, and keep him fresh.

He needs to start Ronaldo v Villarreal as i'm going to that :)

Not sure he needs much resting. Just the league cup and FA cup for now. And the Young Boys return if we have qualified.

True. Hopefully we actually get a decent lead early enough to give him a small rest at some point.

If Tuchel could take off Lukaku please…he’s getting far too much space.

It's looking pretty essential to get either a City or Chelsea defender in.

Probably the biggest priority in this lineup below?

Sanchez Foster
TAA Shaw Coufal White Tsim
Salah Gray Greenwood Benrahma
Ronaldo Antonio Bamford

0.7m in the bank, so Coufal to Rudiger could be the way, as he'll surely be the most likely starter in their defence.

Then Rudiger scores in the 93rd min!
Hopefully people don't flood to get him in so I have to rush the call!
