Bad week looks like.

Raphinha 12 points captain is ok. Tierney 1 point injured. Auba 2 points absolute shite head, he's going I've had enough of him.

All 3 of my city players benched.

Bamford has to go. I really need a wildcard.

Richarlison and Lacazette in for Werner and Bamford on a wildcard, thoughts? Could downgrade Salah to Jota as well but not sure what to do with the spare cash.

7 points from four players. This is going well. I thought I was well set up to score heavy this week too.

As @Sandikan said, I think Salah might be essential to make room for when wildcarding. Jota is such a bargain but I hate bringing in players that are always 50/50 to start.

See how Richarlison does this game week. I brought him in after he scored 4 in 4 bur he's blanked the next two. DCL may back to being the better option. Hope not though!

I should have sold Son for Bruno as I did plan.

Doubles and Mourinho tricked me into keeping him.

Going Bruno over Kane for Captaincy looking like another great decision so far.

Lovely job. Son and Bale benched is nice too.

I did the same, though it's not the craziest of decisions. People on here captained Bamford ahead of those two.

I always go for the statistical best Captain choice and generally it works out.

As I said earlier, Brighton are better than Newcastle and Kane is in better form than Bruno.

FPL is a simple game which people tend to overthink.

Of course I would pick Bruno as captain this week
The mixed feelings is annoying. Everyone around me got Bruno and I am stuck with Son and Salah.

So we need to win, but Bruno should not score too much.

I think I probably sell Salah to Bruno and just get Jota for Liverpool coverage.

What a shit week this is. Rudiger, Stones, Grealish, Gundogan without minutes. Son played 45 mins.
Disaster incoming in points. Luckily Kane did something

Azpi: 0pts
Dallas: 2pts
Auba: 2pts
Lookman: 1pt
Son: 1pt
Bamford: 2pts

Kane vice captain and Watkins heading for 2pts.

The fixtures looked so promising too.

Edit: Martinez clean sheet gone now.

It's the top 10k captaincy stat that is most important, but you don't find that out until after the deadline.
The fantasy scout one can have all sorts of chumps voting.

Any chance Martinez will hold out until the end of this match?
Cleany gone.
With a rival having double ups, can't say i'm gutted.

Villa suddenly look to have zero value, and with their manager still being dishonest about Grealish, and having tough games coming up, probably time for people to jump off their assets.

Bollocks. Villa are a hugely overrated team.
Grealish makes them look a hell of a lot better than they are.
But when he's not there, you individually go through their lineup and say, they're not actually that good at all.

Wow! Watkins onion bagged!
Hopefully there's someone in my league's top 10 who hasn't got him!

That’s extremely annoying. So far I’m losing about 15 points on my mini league rival. Roll on the wildcard next week.

Their defense looked fine until the absolute brainfart.

Pretty shit week, but I want it to get really terrible for fantasy although good overall. Let us smash Brighton although yeah ideally not too many Bruno goals.

I am thinking about doing Salah to Bruno and then get Jota for Liverpool cover.

Although maybe an odd time to do it when Liverpools fixtures turning good and ours are still mixed.
