He is the highest performing striker after Kane, just saying. He rarely gets you a massive haul, but he's a reliable consistent 5-7 points on most weeks.I put Bamford as Captain l o l.
Did I do wrong

Mendy has Sheff Utd away, and Pope has Brighton home this week and a double next.
Is there anything mad about bringing Pope in as second keeper, resting him this week, and playing next?
Or does it make more sense to simply switch Mendy to Pope? And not tie up as much money in keepers? I don't have bench boost anymore, so no need to have 2.
Thinking more chance of Brighton scoring than Sheff Utd.
Could switch one of them down to 4.4m Sanchez down the line.

Tough one.
I went for DCL as United are prone to conceding stupid goals even if we're playing well.
Liverpool v City should be a cagey match.
I'm avoiding loading up on United players for the simple reason that I don't want to jinx them, because, of course, I am the arbitrator of the PL.Is triple United asking for trouble?
I've had Bruno since the start, though, because that's a no brainer.
il send you the link when the u23s are over. send me a pm! il put it in here too if i remember
Lingard in as a differential, super fecking tempted. Has anyone gambled likewise?
I'd wait and see how he does. One game is too small a sample size.
Are you new here? It's the modus operandi of a large portion of the Café!
Lingard may, or may not, have a purple patch (and if he does, we'll get a decent fee for him) but anyone who thinks thinks he's a long term 'prospect', well good luck to you.
Yep. I'm expecting some of the more casual of our "supporters" to start talking about how we should "take a look" at the lad making waves at West Ham.
Going Antonio captain. Wish me luck 
I was set on this but I remember Moyes repeatedly saying Antonio will eventually need a rest. It'll most likely be this game or Sheff... Or he will play both but only like 60 minutes each game.Going Antonio captain. Wish me luck
But that is enough time to smash these shit teams so could be ok.
Will it be stupid to send Dias to bench and get in Shaw instead?
Only transfer this week is Benrahma in.
Shit you got me worried because they play United midweek too so he might just rest him after 70 mins.........
Maybe sell Dier? I wouldn’t be surprised if Mourinho benched him and blamed the recent losses on him.
Salah have blanked in 7 of the last 8 and can’t really see him getting anything against city’s defensive but yeah, Salah is Salah, you don’t bench him, you sell him in that case.
And also, keep Bamford!
I know bud. I had him Captain today after deciding to not get Son but now my plans are all in danger
Wouldn't be a disaster if he was benched as I'd have decent options to come in!
Was considering Pope in for my 4m fodder and run with Mendy & Pope, but looking at future doubles, it might be better just to do Mendy to Pope, despite Mendy playing Sheff Utd, and then would have the money in the bank to upgrade DCL to Ings to benefit from both doubles in consecutive weeks.
Otherwise would need to find 1m or so. Will sleep on it...and hope I don't lie in past 11
But yes, Bamford with that double coming up is 100% a keeper.

Yeah you do but do you want Dier for the future then? I would bring in Shaw or maybe Alonso or James and bench Stones this gw.
I think the regret from Dier and Son getting decent points when I had them, would be more of an arse then someone I didn't have scoring higher.
Long in the FPL is next two games for me, Fulham and Sheffield. Worth a punt I reckon, have endless cash at the moment considering all the expensive players are either injured or shit.
It does mean my week is banking on West Ham battering Fulham, as I have Soucek and Antonio, which is unbelievably risky. We shall see though!
Thoughts? Changes?
I would have swapped Watkins for Antonio but I'm £0.1m short.
Play Ayling?
Bin Bednarek and get a Burnley defender?
Stick and have 2 transfers next week? Get rid of Forster and Bednarek for Meslier and Lowton, ready for a BB.

8 point hit is not worth using your wildcard. Heck, I took a 20 point hit once without even using my wildcard. I literally waited till the last gameweek of the first half of the season to use my wildcard. I think you should wait further down the season, especially if there is a double gameweek, with covid, there's bound to be lots of postponed games.
Regarding my fantasy team, I swapped out Chiwell for Crestwell in my starting 11. Thinking of swapping out Salah for Bruno but knowing my luck, Salah will probably score a hat-trick against City and Bruno will blank.
No idea who to captain this week. Only know it has to be a midfielder. I've
Lingard, Son, Salah, Bruno, Rashford
Thoughts? I'm even tempted to "feck it and give it JLingz" as i've gone with the obvious picks in the last 4 or 5 GW's and they all went to shit.

Are people starting DCL against us? I also can't decide between Gundogan or Stones, I've already got Dias starting. Plumping with Bruno captain and Antonio vice. Difficult choices this week.
I haven't decided to play DCL or Stones. What's more likely, DCL to score, or a MC clean sheet? I already have Dias. Have Bruno captain also.
Very similar boat then. I've decided to bench DCL and Stones (in that order of subs) with Dias starting and Bruno captain. I don't usually have such a strong bench and I'm already hating it.
Ive gone with Stones on the bench and Cancelo playing. Gundo over DCL (he seems to be on pens and Everton’s attack looked poor against Newcastle). Antonio captain, which could be a big error if he’s rested.
I had DCL in my team the whole week but just put him on the bench for Gundo.
Gundo gets an extra point if they don't concede. He also gets extra points if he scores. Gundo is on pens.
Basically there is more upside with Gundo.
I’ve gone captain Bruno. His pulls normally comes in twos (minimum).
How confident are we that City will keep a clean sheet at Anfield tomorrow?
Antonio as captain
Am I completely mad?
Am I completely mad?
Nope. Seems quite a popular pick.
Bamford or Soucek this week?
Bruno captain
Dias starting, and Stones benched (just because Dias has out scored Stones 6-3 on bonuses this last 6 weeks - and Stones 3 came when he scored 2 goals!)
Justin first sub (Had to go with Dier and Coufal with their fixtures, and is too brave to rest 2 city!)
Mendy starting, with Pope my 1 transfer benched - just couldn't leave Mendy out after 3 cleanies and Sheff Utd up next. Pope has a decent fixture, but very much brought in to not waste one of my 2 freebies, for his double next week.
Have just enough money to do Mendy & DCL to McCarthy & Ings for 2 weeks time when Southampton have their double - very tight if any price changes - and may not go with those moves anyway - but keeps it as an option.
Best of luck all!

I've done it as well.
Shaw in for Robertson
Antonio captain
Martinez
Coufal Cancelo Rudiger Shaw
Salah Son Bruno Grealish
Bamford Antonio (c)
Gundogan, DCL and Stones benched.
Chickened out of benching Salah to have some Liverpool coverage just incase. 1 of each starting.

Holding my breath for captaining Bamford over Fernandes
Both?
So, I left DCL and Digne on the bench, captained Bruno and brought Shaw in the team.
In other words, going for double pain tonight.
