-2 for Jones
Decent otherwise overall.

71 points. Happy with that.
Just used wildcard to change it up a bit.
54 points for me. Not helped by Azpilicueta and Jones getting -1 points between them.
Made a very risky transfer and captain choice for next week. Hopefully, it will result in me gaining on the leaders!
Slimani for Newcastle at 6.6 is quite a good price. I've already got Quaner as my cheap striker off the bench.
I’m thinking the same - I’ve got Gayle at 6.1 with 0.6 left to spend, and Slimani’s immensely better than Joselu. Joselu might have kept his place if he scored the penalty last night, but he didn’t, so I think this is a wise move.
Is Slimani ‘match fit’? He can’t have played much recently bar maybe Cup and sub appearances.
I don't think you give much of a shit about match fitness when it's a choice between him or Joselu.
Slimani has a thigh injury, will have recovered in a few days but there's a chance Sunday comes too soon for him.
Callum Wilson is 5.8 got to be the go to cheap striker.
Laporte not starting.
Pep is such a cunt.
I went with:
De Gea out for Fabianski
Klavan out for Laporte
Richarlison out for Mooy
Martial out for Mkhitaryan
Firmino out for Aubameyang.
Laporte isn't playing and Mooy is benched
No Laporte, No Jones and now Hegazy scores. Worst wildcard ever.
I was erring between Aguero and Kane. Went the right way
edit: Why anyones taking Hegazi out their team at this point I don't know. You'll get about 4.8 back for him which you can't use to replace him with so you're just burning cash.
I have no idea how to play this game.
I'm looking at an absolutely pathetic score if we don't get a 7-8 in the Liverpool/Spurs match.
Pogba captain and Jones mysteriously nowhere to be seen today. Great stuff, Jose.
Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang might save me this week.
37 with Lascelles, Salah and Kane to play.
Draft opponent has Ramsey. Good game.
I’m doing dreadful at Draft this year - none of main attackers even played today (David Silva, Rooney, Sigurdsson and Lacazette), I pinched Lucas Moura who is now 75% unlikely to play and then my only other striker is Andre Gray who’s been a sub most of the season.
I'm doing quite well obviously, but a bit bloody annoyed I have had Gross forever. He got me 1 goal and 0 assists in the last 13 games, I finally got rid of him as Brighton looked awful, then he gets a goal an assist and 3 bonus points. What a twat.
The Huddersfield goalkeeper my unlikely saviour with a 10 point haul today after Captain Sterling well and truly pissed in my chips, but unless Liverpool run riot it looks set to be a ropey week.
In the main game I can never find a way of fielding 11 players, every week some weak cunt is going down with an 'illness' at the moment. Having my worst ever season (960k) after having my best ever season last year (61k).
Pep seems to treat team selection as a form of political protest against having to play more than one game a week ever (presumably the nandrolone injections take more than three days to wear off), so I've more or less binned off his boys except Raheem and my main man Fernando Rosa.
Imagine having upwards of £20m worth of Arsenal attackers on a day where they score five, and they net you a total of eight points.
27 in total today with three Liverpool players and Kenedy to play. Lol at that being above average.
I hate fantasy football. I look at it every Sunday night and get depressed. I was doing so well
I'm a twit
Was an interesting last few minutes for Salah and Kane holders. Only 47 this week but it seems like that will be a good score.
The draft team, I've just noticed, heading for its 5th straight win if my Hazard and Pedro can match Baz's Doucouré and Deeney tonight. Really not sure how this has happened as I missed the draft, had a shit team and haven't touched it since.
I’ve done quite well in the main game this week, with Salah’s points along with Mkhitaryan’s 13 and Milivojevic’s 10. Laporte and Jones have been replaced from the bench by van Dijk and Vertonghen, so I’m on 57 with Alonso to go tonight.
Went with a back 3 this week in the main game. Combined total of 0 minutes
Alonso not in the squad. It's your lucky day.
Is Phil Jones going to make the Manchester team at the weekend or has he been excommunicated for his Wembley misdemeanours?
Depends entirely on whether you get rid of him or not.
I've transferred Lingard out and have placed a bet on him scoring.
I had to swap out Zaha due to knee knack and caved on Gross. So expect the Lingard bet to pay off and Brighton to get humped for the next 5 weeks.
Captain milivojevic
I'm a twit
I've got this thing with Burnley defenders whereby whichever one I pick doesn't play for weeks (having payed every game up to that point). Think Tarko is the third one I've had do it.
I feel like my defence is absolute trash but it seems to have quite a few high points scorers in it (Maguire, Jones, Davies). Just need to find a way to get Bertrand out who I've had for an inexplicably long time.
Somebody let Gross go in the draft league. He's taking you down this weekend, Floyd.
Accidentally captained Kane, which probably accounts for his profligacy, hopefully Aguero doesn't go mad later.
I've stuck with Raheem the Dream after last week's hilarity, hopefully Leicester field their flightier full backs.
I guess I can't complain too much but that was fairly fucking obviously going to happen.
It's the season in a microcosm. Had I not botched it Kane would have had a hattrick and Aguero would probably have been sent off.
The most insurmountably bad decision remains binning off Salah and De Bruyne early doors after starting the season with both.
De Bruyne had a funny first six weeks, was playing brilliantly but scoring no fantasy points. I ditched him then, picked him up again for a few months when his scores picked up, and have now ditched him again to accommodate Mo and Raheem.
The mistake I made early doors was not having any of the midfielders who are actually forwards. Those guys break the game. Ryan Fraser is the new Richarlison, you've just got to have him.
My plan is to keep Aguero until Jesus comes back and then swap him for De Bruyne and just live off a Man City midfield as the season rolls to a close.
I captained Kane simply for playing Arsenal to make it hurt a little less when he did the inevitable. I think a triple captain would put me 1st/2nd in every league I'm in that I actually care about.
Thanks to captain Aguero I’m going to have a decent week, but I am still a bit annoyed I ended up transferring Francis in instead of Naughton this week. Would’ve possibly got most points this game week had I done that and if United don’t concede today.
