Schoolboy.
The Kane thing is a bit shit for me in this too as I used the January wildcard last round and had to take a four point hit as upgrading Sema to Sterling seemed like it would be worth it. I’m fully expecting him to be benched now.
I took a 4 point hit for the second time this season to get rid of both Kane and TAA.
Got Firmino and Lindelöf in. I still can't make space for Salah in my team and by now I'm starting to feel a bit convinced to go through the season without him for the sake of it.
I have 3m in the bank now so can upgrade either Perreyra or Richarlison next round, but honestly it sort of feels like there are no obvious options. I'm staying clear of Arsenal players, and City players just get rotated so much.
Though B. Silva seems like a pretty tasty option.
I only got Salah back in recently and haven't had either Kane or Aguero all season. Forwards in general I've had value options all the way through. It's midfield where you need to spend the money.
I've had Raúl Jiménez all season, and my first born shall take his name.
Midfield feels like a bit of a lottery at the moment. I've had Salah, Sterling and Alli for a while, but it's really hard to know if they're any better than a lot of the other similarly priced options. Feels like my lot having a bad couple of weeks and Hazard/Pogba hitting form, or vice versa, is a huge swing.
Think I’m going to play my bench boost today. Can’t fit Rudiger, Puncheon, wan Bissaka and McCarthy in and they all have decent matches.
Real captain quandary between Auba, Salah and Poggers tonight. Gone for the latter as I don't think Burnley will bother, and Liverpool are due a disaster.
I've got 8 minutes to decide between Pogba, Rashford and Salah.
I went with Salah. Could have easily been Auba but just feel Salah is safer.
Ignored United as I have three of their attackers and captaining one would be overkill.
I ended up going for Salah. Digne on the bench has got me seething my tits off.
Fucking Digne. Own goal last week and now a red card!
I only transferred him in last week
I can't believe I still haven't transfered in Jimenez. Even used my wildcard but still, nah let's try someone everybody doesn't have like Troy fucking Deeney
Digne coming off the bench and getting sent off while I have Rondon on the bench, oh what a night.
Getting on my phone praying for some David Brooks involvement in the fourth Bournemouth goal. Talk about scraping the barrel.
Ryan Fraser did nothing
Brooks on my bench is a sore one. Aubameyang captain has saved me big time.
Oh my fucking god I hate this game!!! -4 on getting Llorente and Aguero in and now Llorente starts on the bench.
I'm finally going to get FOUND OUT by this round of fixtures, having scorched into the the top 270k. Terrible arrangement of fixtures, it could be a sub 20 week if things don't go my way and I've already made a cunt by not clocking the double City week.
I was so close to bringing in Higuain last night.
Took out Aguero with my wildcard to get Son in.
I will do slightly better out of it this week if Aguero doesn't score another and/or Felipe Anderson has a stinker tomorrow.
Someone's going to have triple captained Aguero and essentially won the thing this week.
Think I'm on the end of Aguero in the draft league as well.
I used my Free Hit to get a bunch of City players in. Captaining Aguero has made up for the fact that I left both Pogba and Hazard out in this swap.
Getting Sane in was a mistake (unless he does something amazing on Tuesday).
I imagine Aguero won't start later in the week either.
And, I could have made more of it really. Nearly got Neves in for instance but for some reason never ended up doing that.
I used my free hit and stupidly didn't bother with Aguero, as I thought he'd only play 1 of the 2. I had Sane, who didn't play :seething:
Captaining Sane has got me seething. How can you return 1 point from two games ffs.
Edit: getting rid of Laporte instead of Rudiger before gw 22 was a great choice as they have scored 32 and 3 since respectively. God I hate this game sometimes

Aguero out Aubayemang in payed out well for me
Captain Aguero can just stay for the rest of the season.
I was slightly annoyed that I forgot to take my captain off Sterling.
Shows what I know.
I thought captain Pogba was a masterstoke yesterday, seems not.
800th in the world.
Will probably have a couple of zeroes tacked onto the end of that after the next set of games. I have three players with a blank fixture, three injured or suspended, and the rest are all playing against Brazil 1970.
Two missed penalties today
Captain Poggers doubled his negative score for me.
And deprived Rashford of an assist.
And Rui Patricio didn't play? And Doherty didn't get the minutes for a clean sheet. Seriously what the fuck?
Wan-Bissaka buried on the bench with 5 points, sitting next to Richarlison who is bound to score a hatrick tomorrow given how things are going.
I had a great mid-season but ever since I went back to having City players it's been mediocrity. You just can't afford to have City players.
Oh yeah, of course I have Aubameyang as well.
Just clocked the entry at the bottom of our classic leaderboard. What on earth.
I saw that the week he entered. Must have come out of prison or something.
How were the Beeb exposed on the 23rd btw?
Mané spaffing that tap-in onto the bar off the Alexander-Arnold cross, when Robertson was standing there behind him was a right kick in the proverbials. Good week to great week territory.
Free hit weekend methinks.
Fuck. James is absolutely smashing it.
Did a bit of research into this and it's some shit conspiracy about Panorama and Tommy didn't even reveal this expose.
We're so, so shit at this stuff compared to other countries. It's like MPs expenses, everyone fuming because some Tory spent 500 quid on his duck pond while Ben Carson spent 31 thousand dollars on a table and chairs.
We have Tommy Robinson claiming that the biggest conspiracy going is that Panorama is more interested in narrative than truth while the people funding him from abroad think there's a top spy posting on 4Chan called QAnon who is revealing info on a secret black-op to round up celebrity pedophiles and they've already arrested Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen. Oh and QAnon is actually JFKs brother who faked his own death to lead this plot but he also turns up at all the Trump rallys to support his God Emporer.
Had some great fun with my free hit this weekend. Don't let me down, Chicharito.
Went with 3 defensive West Ham players. Yeah worked out well.
I got in there with two minutes to spare, but when I tried to switch him the sums just didn't add up so I left him in there hoping he'd come off the bench
Thank fuck. Felt sick when he scored his second. Almost ruined my night.
