73 points for me, would have been even more if I captained Salah instead of Aubameyang.
Considering Shaw and Bruno in for Doherty and Son.

Son's gone for Fernandes for me.
One of the Liverpool pair will probably make way for De Bruyne the week after, or I might just try to rotate the super expensive midfielders by who looks to have an easier game week.
The temptation to squeeze in the holy trio of Salah, Auba and KDB has me constantly doubting myself but I think I'm just going to go with two. Fates will be determined by this path.
Auba is a false prophet. Salah, Sterling, Rashford is the way.
Is that a selection based on their political activism and Salah's scraped it in due to his Egypt role? Interesting.
Fucking Rashford Auba scored more goals last season than he has in the whole of the last 3 seasons.
Is Saka not gonna play much? Thought he was a pretty decent buy at 5.5, but if he's not playing...
Aubameyang as a midfielder in an even vaguely competent Arsenal side simply cannot be left out. If he was a forward, then less so.
I'm going to have to learn to pick and choose my weeks to captain him though - went for it this week which vs Fulham was a fair call, but against other teams will need to refrain.
Need a big game from the Germans tonight.
Going with Mané over Salah and Ings over Vardy went well.
I’ve buckled and used the wildcard and overloaded the midfield.
Martinez; KWP, Justin, Lamptey, Dallas; Rashford, Aubameyang, KDB, Salah; Werner, Watkins
Nyland, Alzate, Brewster and Mitchell on the bench. Not arsed if Brewster leaves for Sheff Utd or not.
I've also wildcarded.
Changed my team up 3 times thus far though.
Not sure if it's worth the sacrifices made but I now have Salah, Aubameyang, Bruno Fernandes and KDB.
Bring on those juicy juicy penalties.

100 point opening weekend and my net worth is now 99.8. Pepe was an awful shout tbf so I can't complain.
Been toying with the idea of wildcarding but I just can't settle on a team. So many players you just can't afford.
Way too soon tbh unless you're sitting on Harry Kane or something. Need a few more weeks' data, next international break looks optimal.
Anyone who uses the wildcard before Valentine's Day is a trigger-happy child.
Normally I agree but with 4 teams not playing in week 1 it changes things.
I always planned to wildcard.
I'm a twit
As did I.
Although I was hoping for a stronger week 1.
Could you not have played the free hit in week 1 to cover that? Wild card has to be saved either for post January, or at least post whenever all the season narratives have fully formed.
I nearly always play my wildcard after the first year, it's a valid tactic. Especially in a season like this with so little pre season data and 4 teams not playing in game week 1.
I played my wildcard in the first week a few times and finished within the top 5k.
Being aggressive with transfers and wildcard early doors can mean some huge team value swings which can make a huge difference.
I've not played my wildcard this year though as I'm quite happy with my team and want to see City and United in action before I play it.
I didn't think about the chip.
Are you sure it couldn't be played Baz?
I assume it should have been fine after you've set your initial squad.
Definitely couldn't use it, believe me.

It couldn't logistically work with only one deadline unless they had two separate submit buttons. The Mane drop has got me thinking to choose him over KDB
I forgot there are two these days.
What's the logic behind Mané's price drop? He doesn't seem to have been sold off all that much, or suffered a massive drop in TSB% [at least compared to other players who have seen bigger sell-offs or bigger drops and not been pinged]. Is there a formula for it or is it just arbitrary?
What’s his value now?
There's some algorithm that gets worked out a few weeks in every season so that sites like http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk end up being pretty accurate. I'm guessing each player has some hidden volatility factor that determines how many transfers are needed for them to move. I think it was the rotational Liverpool centre backs last season whose price never shifted despite being transferred in/put en masse.
Its transfers in vs transfers out excluding wildcards. So theoretically your TSB% could go up while your prices goes down if there are loads of wildcards being played.
That's what I've settled on.
Not all that keen on the forwards but hopefully the midfielders go bonkers.
Calvert Lewin 😎😎😎
Just checked my tram and I hadn’t subbed any of my United or city players in 🙃🙃🙃
ofc I took out Pereira
Should've wildcarded. Everyone is gonna jump on the Everton bandwagon now.
Calvert-Lewin
What a man.
Time to activate wildcard.
Captained the hat trick scorer two weeks running. I've peaked.
I captained Hamez and he’s on 20 points at the minute. Hopefully gets another
You filthy cunts. DCL has cost me 4 points I think and a heck of a deficit on a few people.
I was close to going all in on Everton at the beginning of the year and you lot caused me to bottle it.
I was so close to putting Bamford in over Watkins
Oliver had better not let me down over the season.
Ideally want to hang on to the wildcard until the window slams shut I think.
Went for a really early -4, Zaha, DCL and Hamez in for Antonio, ASM and Son.
I was pretty pissed but luckily I am happy with those moves.
Subbed Son out for Fernandes.
Totally worth it for the jinx.
VC'd Son
