People were saying Robertson or TAA will be treated and Mane won't play :lol:
People say the same shit every week. Same with Aguero. The Mane rumours at least had some smoke to them though with him not being pictured at training. That said I think it would've been foolish to take him out. I just made sure I had someone on the bench (who will not go on to score more than anyone else I've got on the field).

Glad I didn't waste a free hit on this game week anyway.

Mane could potentially make this free hit worth it for me on his own after the West ham shit show.

Salah has been completely shit for a few weeks now.

Someone must have paid Salah to shite on my fantasy team. It took me too long to realize this and I feel if I take him out now, he will start doing well.
Even if he does start doing well, other players would likely still be better picks because of the price difference. Unless you're going to captain him (fat chance) him "doing well" isn't enough.

My ML leader TCed Salah (dumbass), so at least there's some relief there. Not that I'm catching him with these shite weeks anyway

Salah... What do we do with him.

Mane is obviously the form player but me and my rival are neck and neck and both have Salah.

I can imagine taking him out and he scores a hat trick.

Same..thinking of dropping him after the Spurs match for Sterling.

That Salah chance that Mane put on a plate for him cost a lot of players 13 points.

Happy with the Liverpool cs wipeout. Those who went double defence are licking their wounds last few weeks.

These are the cnuts I got in with my free hit. Apart from Mane, not a single one of these feckwits got more than 2 points.

My rival didn't have a free hit yet he got more points than me :lol::mad:

36 (-4). I wonder how many people switched from Mane to Salah because of that non training bullshit?

Free Hit next week needs to be a huge one.

So it was bad enough that Fulham scoring cost me 5 points, but I would have been happy with that had it stayed a draw. Then the Scousers went on and won it. Got 3 back for the Mane assist, anyway.

50 all in, which is as much as I ever get.

You guys have probably all got in the 70s/80s as usual.

You did 14 points better than the top 10k in the world averaged this week.

My Gameweek rank is around 250K, so not that great.

Edit: maybe not updated yet?

Edit again: rank reduced to 366k, so not that good.

I remember one heady gameweek, a few seasons ago, when I was in the top 1,000 scores. There were only 1/3 the number of players in those days though.

Feck, GW33 is going to be brutal for me. I will probably need to pay for 1-2 transfers to not fall behind too much.

I had 52 points.
Mane (C), and had 3 assist from 3 players, Ake, Anderson and Firmino. Other player only got 1 or 2 points.
Now I am 3 points behind the first in my league. GW 32 I will put armband on Lukaku and use triple captain. He have double GW againt Watford home and Wolves away.

I was laughing at 2 guys chasing me taking hits of -16 and -20. They ended up scoring 70 (-20) and 65 (-16) :rolleyes:

What a horrible week for me

46 points but would have been 59 if I'd captained Mane :mad:

So happy I went with my gut instinct of Pickford (9) when everybody was saying Fabianski (1).

Shouldn't have benched Almiron though (5).
You forgot to take away your captain score. If it was Salah you would have got 57 points for example as his 4 points is now 2.

The feck? Guessing they had King, Mane, Maddison..who else?
One had Tielemans (5), the other had McNeil (8) and Calvert Lewin (5). Both got Mane in and captained him.

I checked their teams before kick off and I really wasn’t concerned. That back fired completely!

I was always against taking hits, but this just shows that it can be worthwhile. I took zero hits and finished with 17 points :mad:

Man, I've never have put those in anyway. Would've done Mane if I hadn't already taken a hit, which was looking like a good decision briefly. Until it wasn't haha.

Spurs v Palace has been officially added to 32 on Wednesday night.

Palace play Huddersfield at home on Saturday and Spurs are at Liverpool on Sunday.

Got my preliminary FH team ready for the DGW.

Patricio
Luiz Laporte Shaw WanB
Hazard Sterling Pogba Millivojevic
Aguero Lukaku

Jiminez (might be rested for the semi, hence not starting), Jonny, Puncheon

I could have Rashford instead of Lukaku and change Patricio to Kepa. Not sure yet.
