Shit again. Need Alvarez to bag a hat-trick to keep my ML lead.
Thank you Bruno and Rashford for literally ruining my FPL season.
Held on to these two for way too long and its been a costly mistake.
Still have Bruno, but might go full mental and bring back Rashford as literally nobody will have them and by a miracle of all miracles they might wake up this season.

That would be equally as stupid as not having Rashford at the start of this season, so it will probably work out
haaland blank please
top 25k for this GW which is best so far this year
Haaland goal.
I swear every time I need a player to blank, they get a penalty.
Happened with Salah/Mbeumo/Eze and now Haaland.
Never seems to work out that way for me.

Haaland, you donkey.
If you didn't captain Salah or Haaland this week, you really only have yourself to blame.
Very occasionally they will both fail, but very occasionally indeed.
And the reverse, having a pen taker like Palmer, who will never get one when you start them
Had to not captain the cnut
Thank feck he's cancelled out Salah at least. Another would be nice
My work colleague actually left Haaland first sub for some inexplicable reason.
But gets him in as White didn't play!

Palmer is a frustrating watch. Assists the assister for goal 1.
Clean through on goal...misses. Then Jackson nicks the rebound off him. Garh.

Haaland gets an assist for that deflection.
Glad I don't have any defenders from these two
Crazy game
Salah and Haaland with the same scores after all that. RIP anyone who didn't captain either of them..

Palmer in for Ferguson
A roller coaster for the non Haaland owners. Blanks at home against Bournmouth and runs riot away at Chelsea.
Palmer 
Doesn't make up for Tsim's haul, but when he's sitting on 1 at 94mins, that's an incredible late bonus.

How does Bernardo Silva get two BPS in a 4-4?
Never mind that, where have you been for months and months old son?
Keeper is a problem. Areola conceding plenty.
Getting Cole Palmer in is the only good decision I've made this season
Nonsense, we stand tall, bloodied but unbowed, the Fantasy version of Ange's 9 man high line. They laughed at Galileo when he said the earth wasn't flat. Live a little, Sandikan. Aren't you bored of watching those Haaland points roll in? Join me in the bracing freedom of watching my newly acquired shiny midfield all find entirely different ways to lose points. Don't be a sheep, buddy. Free yourself. Find yourself.Yes, the couple of lads giving it lips last week probably won't be seen this week
He's definitely looking a threat. Could easily have double digited today.
I've had a very "free" season, with such outlier decisions that took me from 8th to 78th in my work league
Getting back into sensible decisions now, into the heady heights of page 1 and top 50 of the league
Snooze. Losers are more fun.I've had a very "free" season, with such outlier decisions that took me from 8th to 78th in my work league

That is a fantastic speech, I'm in, selling him tonight.
Rage transferred Digne to Saliba and it feels so fecking goooood
It's certainly less stressful being crap miles down the league, and not stewing on game changing decisions.
Rage transferred Digne to Saliba and it feels so fecking goooood
Doing your transfer this early before a 2 week international break.
That cannot go wrong.
So glad I took that hit to get Tsimi out….
Much more like it this week, after yesterday 4 from 2 and being 581k, ended the week with 92 and up to season high of 149k
I honestly don't care and will take hits of necessary. I had just the right amount of money to do this and it feels amazing.
Loading my team and seeing Digne in there made me want to quit many times. I hate him so much. Bought him in by accident and all he's done is constantly get me 2 points.
Yeah I don't care either about waiting. Diaby > Bowen done.
Martinelli is a wanker and can probably go for Mbeumo the gw after. Will try and get Palmer in as well soon to have a midfield of Salah, Son, Palmer, Bowen, Mbeumo. All pen takers.
Son needs to be monitored though with Spurs wheels falling off.
Feeling fairly happy dodging Brighton mids due to rotation, Arsenal due to rotation/shit numbers/not knowing which one to have and United just because we're shit.

Had a mare captaining Son!
The no Haaland route is not exactly paying off.
fecking hell my main rival on a GW rank of 1611!
My other rival thought he played his WC and now took a 44 point hit
