42 with Spurs trio Kane, Alli and Vertonghen to play. Not sure which of the latter two to bin after this. Probably Jan.

I don't even have him, but big lol at Kane not being given an assist for the second goal.
I forgot my team so Kane is still on the bench. United being good has saved me.
Kane triple captainers.
inb4 20 minute hat trick.
The thinking man's play was Vertonghen triple captain, but I'm not a thinking man.
Who stole Tosun in the draft? In my desperation for a striker I've had to take a punt on Ings in the hope someone will sign him.
Shit, I meant to have a pop at him. Damn FA Cup weeks.
I had a go but I can't win because I'm top. My team has been a bit shit for a while as Bailly and Valencia have been injured.
Benteke is a massive piece of shit too.
I want Chelsea defenders because they're playing a bunch of shite. 6 mil for one of the cheaper ones...
I am genuinely at a loss as to what to do this week. I'll probably just hold.
This.is my worst season by far, I think I'm sat at 350k after three seasons finishing inside the top 25k. Painful.
I'm surprised that I'm so high in the league and to still be just about above you. I had a great start to the season in gameweek 1 and I've had a couple of amazing gameweeks since but I've had below average weeks quite a few times and went out of the cup 1st round with a fairly rubbish score and I've constantly taken points hits to try and get my team right. I guess everyone else has been having similar problems this time around.
Let’s juat forget about this week.

I need United to absolutely smash Stoke tonight.
Had a decent week thanks to Spurs and Liverpool. There's a first.
Rashford hat-trick plz.
Jones and Lingard red cards.
I'm a twit
Got a 2 point lead in the draft. I've got Shaw and Valencia, he's got Lingard and Pogba. Magic of the Fantasy Premier League Draft.
In the league with my mates, one of them invited a lad who I know who he is but he’s nobody elses mate besides the lad who invited him. He’s just gone top.
There’s talk of booting him out.
Would it be out of order?
I'm a twit
This is a massive jinx but I've never done better at this game.I'm in the Top 1k in Switzerland. Top 50k Arsenal supporters and top 400k overall.
How I got knocked out of the first round of the cup... shambles.
The two matches I’ve had Lingard (first time was the free hit) are the only games he’s been booked in this season, and the only games recently where has hasn’t done anything. It’s little things like that.
When're Diabate (Leicester) and Stafylidis (Stoke) gonna be added? The former's been there a week.
I'm a twit
Dumped Hazard finally so expect him to get a hat trick.
Someone's bound to have triple captained Nacho Monreal.
Dawson last week and now Koscielney this week added to the list of players scoring their only goal of the season against my draft team. Bastards.
If Man Utd keep a clean sheet, my real team is off to a flyer.
Twice in a week Christensen has kept a clean sheet but only played 57 minutes. Infuriating.
Another week of leaving Ryan Fraser on the bench, top stuff from me.
I bunted Niasse in the draft on the assumption he'd never play again.
Diouf rolling one in is nice, albeit entirely pointless. Firmino will beat me on his own with his inevitable pointsfest against Swansea.
Firmino finding some form has been perfectly timed. I had stopped keeping clean sheets, my only source of points and started losing games, but Firmino started banging them in to keep me top. Coutinho being sold has weakened the dude in second (having both Salah and Coutinho was a pisstake), so I've got a reasonable chance of staying top now.
God bless Sergio Aguero and all who sail in him.
Proper shitoff in our draft match. That Sanchez own goal hurts.
I've no idea how I've got 11 draft wins, but I have and I'm about to mug off Martin for a 12th.
Gonna wildcard this week.
Hoping I can have Alexis, Agüero, Salah, Firmino & Otamendi. The rest I don’t know.
I'm a twit
Need Firmino to outscore Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wijnaldum put together. Unlikely.
Late triple red card.
Zaha in for Arnautovic.
I should have waited til next week to wildcard so all the transfers were done.
My team is god awful now. Honestly think I’ve ruined it.

I’ve swapped Ozil, Eriksen and Loftus Cheek out for Mkhitaryan, Salah and Milivojevic.
Eriksen’s missed a few with injuries and has tough fixtures coming up and Loftus Cheek is injured for a while.
Salah was the obvious one to bring in, and with Mkhitaryan being £7.6m and likely to play most of Arsenal’s games for the rest of the season, I thought now would be a good time to make the move.
Milivojevic is £0.1m more than Loftus and takes the penalties too.
Played my card. Pretty happy with this:
Kenedy signing based off Sama's words in the football thread last night.
Getting Aubameyang in for 10.5 while ignoring Kane and Aguero seems unnessarcarily risky.
I've had a punt on Daniel Sturridge at 7.9. A real season-definer which also allows Lingard to slot into the midfield. I also have the best value midfielder in the game in my side but I can't possibly reveal who that is.
Shane Duffy having been an ever-present since August, surviving two wildcard clear outs, is probably the thing I'm most proud of.
I thought Mariappa's time was up with Silva dropping him only for Javi Gracia to see the light. Cheers for the 6 points from the bench, Javi.
Yeah but you're relying on Arsenal being a competent football team.
- Walcott IN as he'll inevitably score against Arsenal this weekend.
- Mahrez OUT as he's being a cunt and will probably not play (but now will do so with a stellar performance)
- Bernardo Silva IN as I suppose he'll get a few games now in Sanes absense
- Willian OUT as that was a terrible transfer
- Fabianski IN as their fixtures look alreet and they are like solid now fam
- Forster OUT as he hasn't played in about a year
-8 points for that, going against my principles but my team felt so off.
