My gamble on Brighton's shithouse Australian 'keeper didn't pay off either, not that he was particularly at fault for anything.

Looking at having 10 players this week unless Elneny makes a surprise appearance. Swapped Davies out for Monreal before Pogba got injured and I'm looking to find a way to get Lukaku or a City striker in for him without losing too many points.
I forgot to change captain as well but had David Silvia as vice who's looking at 12 points.
3 clean sheets as well so I'm all for Spurs stinking the place out despite how it'd affect my team TBH.
I think I'm going to have to wildcard soon, it's all gone horribly wrong. 0-0 in this Spurs game would be good though.
My draft side is going to outscore my proper side for the third time in 5 games and I've already used my wildcard. I am shit.
Spurs and Man Utd clean sheets will win me the round this week in the draft game.
Would be handy if Benteke could start scoring, as Gayle isn't going to.
At least Alli hasn't been sent off yet.
He was my first pick and has been pretty shit really, even if he has scored two goals. Groß and Ritchie have been better. Obviously won't get rid of him, but at this point I'd rather have another mid level midfielder and someone who isn't a twat as my #1 pick.
Still hasn't been sent off. I've no idea what order I picked, but Mané would have been my number 1 (red card) and Cahill probably wasn't far off being second (which is, admittedly, mental).
No idea how I've managed this but I've put together this team with my wildcard before the prices rise too much.
Forster, Elliot
Monreal, Luiz, Jones, Trippier, Mbemba
Eriksen, Salah, Mkhitaryan, Sanches, King
Morata, Welbeck, Jesus
How is it possible that you have four attackers? Or is there another King.
24 with Courtois, Phil Jones, Willian (c) and Michael Keane, who is getting the sack for next week, still to play. Mon the useless sacks of shit.
Real threat of a draft win over Offshore as well.
It is the Leicester CM Andy King worth 4.4.Originally Posted by Pen
Ah, I see. Decent team.
Rock solid defence may just about see off AVERAGE in the draft league.
The less mentioned about the main side the better. What the fuck is smallpockets doing paying Son at left wingback?
This whole thing got kicked off because I transferred Monreal out for Davies thinking we got bummed.
I'm 18-17 ahead of Offshore in the draft game so need my Ashley Williams to have an equal game to his Martial and Mirallas. Nailbiter.
That's got to hurt.
My rudimentary maths tells me I've got a chance of overturning the average, but bonus points could fuck me, and it has been a high scoring week, so I'll be seething if I don't.
Thanks to Williams's bungling mess of a match, I'm pretty sure Martial got it just by coming on.
Yeah, although it must have been close at 1-0.
My plucky band of wasters have somehow battled their way to 3rd place n the draft league. Fuck knows how. It can't last.
I have changed up my team to bring in Jesus.
Pogba, Chicharito and Luiz out for Cork, Jesus and Lascelles.
Team is:
Lossl; Lascelles, Hegazi, Bailly, Zanka; Mooy, Alli, Jese; Lukaku, Kane, Jesus. Subs: Ryan, Cork, Fosu-Mensah, Loftus-Cheek.
Resisted the urge to use my wildcard as we look to ascend from base camp. In come Rashford (probably won't start, meh) and Bertrand.
Sticking with Kane has finally paid off. Not having Lukaku is annoying me but I was a few bob short.
Pogba goes out for Andy King and I've used that money to swap Chicharito (why did I think West Ham would be good?) for Gabriel Jesus who I captained. Thought I should have gone for Kane but bottled it.
Biffed Kane last week, obviously.
Alli has delivered. I'm up against AVERAGE who are probably hoping for a reaction this week, so that's a handy start. Sit down, shut up, you wanker.
Going to need you to start posting your team before deadline.
I got rid of Kane after the third game of not scoring. He's got 4 in 2 since then, obviously.
I stuck with him but have consistently bottled captaining him, including this week.
I swapped around a lot to get Aguero in, who will no doubt fuck up as my captain now.
The former has scored and the latter is on the bench. Fucked it.
Reckon a few triple captains might have gone south on Jesus today.
Kane x2, Eriksen and Hernandez all scoring is a treat. I've went for David Silva as Captain this week so if he can do his thing, that'd be great.
I think he's highly likely to come on later in the game too.
Winning 3-0? Rest Agüero and stick Jesus on.
Getting beat or drawing? Get a second striker on.
Pep is a dick.
Alonso can get out my team if he's going to get subbed off 2 minutes before a clean sheet bonus.
seething
City have used all 3 subs. Silva to come in as captain with an assist and a couple of bonus points. I should have gone for Morata...
How have people done in the draft? Hard to know if you've done alright when you're up against AVERGAGE.
22 so far, I think this finally is going to be the week I get a draft win.
I've just noticed Benteke's injury, which means I'm now down to 1 striker and he's been getting subbed off after 60 minutes. I'll lose any week Man Utd don't keep a clean sheet. Served me well up to now though. Mourinho
I'm getting wrecked in the draft unless Wee Tony Kerknockart scores about 8 tomorrow.
Got my captain right in the main game, even though it was done at the expense of having Kane in the team. Fairly average week though.
35 thanks to Rudiger, Zanka and Kane.
Actually, 41 as Bakayoko will come in.
Sorry, Niko.
I'm entirely reliant on Spurs keeping clean sheets.
What a way to live.
I've got a 4 point lead over average. A goalless draw in today's game will probably give me my first loss of the season, as I don't have any Arsenal players.
Xhaka better get a few points tonight, as he's taking Tammy Abrahams spot in my team.
I've already moved in the market, Willian is dumped and Juan Manuel Mata comes in, as does Mané from his exile on the bench. 50 points a better haul this week but bloody Firmino has seriously shat the bed which is costing me as everyone else has Lukaku/Aguero.
Also everyone in the real world is creaming themselves over Kevin de Bruyne, but in fantasy land he's doing fuck all.
62pts in the draft for me
De Bruyne is in the "Midfield-orchestrator" riskzone, looks like Guardiola kind of want to make him his Xavi.
He does all the key passes, but never the final ones; in true Barcelona-ca-2008-style it looks like 75% of Citys goals this year will be tap-ins.
I went big on De Bruyne but after seeing his average position in the first game, dumped him and went for Silva. He's got me an absolutely ridiculous amount of points since. With Captains/Subs changing I'll be in 10th place with Foster and Hegazi to play.
City is tricky because the goals and points get shared by so many players. So long as Silva and Sterling both start they are great value, but I expect quite a bit or rotation.
Aguero shouldn't be worth his price tag in that environment, but the man is a fucking beast
Yeah I dropped the buck going for De Bruyne and have slowly realised that he's not really the bargain he looks.
Another 12 points wasted on the bench this week. In hindsight I was really putting my eggs in a north east/south wales shaped basket with Mbemba, Ritchie, Naughton and Carroll in the side. They netted me a total of six points. I've clearly not learned though as Tammy Abraham comes in this week.
I had dear old Kevin as captain this week and he scored nothing attack wise despite playing 90 minutes in a 5-0 win, he also made zero impression on the BPS. I'll have to get rid of him but might need to play the wild card to do so.
Finally going for Kane as captain this week so based on previous experience with Mané, he'll be sent off.
I've chucked Firmino and brought in Vardy. Bit risky when the former is playing against the team I support next.
