Martinez losing his clean sheet bonus (and getting a penalty for conceding 2) is a real shitter too.

Aye, but last time that happened he scored twice and got an assist as well I think.
Have contained Salah three times since the Palace game with one of those triple captain.
Waste.
I bought Salah after the Palace game. He’s getting swapped for Son now. Any word on De Bruyne? There’s not a lot of other in-form midfield options.
Forwards are the problem I have at the moment. Bobby Firmino ain't cutting it so I've brought in Ings, who I'm not even sure is playing but the other options are terrible.
I had Kane as triple captain when he got sent off so he got me -3.
81 points so far this week.
The only good forward option at the minute really is Kane. Vardy was doing well but scored nothing over the double gameweek and now hasn’t scored in 5. Liverpool, Chelsea, City, Arsenal, United - none of them have a good forward this season, which is unheard of.
Kane + 2 cheap forwards is the way to go. It’s all about getting the in-form, undervalued lads from the likes of West Ham and Leicester now.
How about Lacazette?
I'm a twit
He has 6 more points than David McGoldrick.
I've got Antonio, who seems good at the price, alongside Kane but after this week I'm almost considering getting a minimal priced forward as the third one and paying for another good defender.
Antonio is the best value up front at the minute I think. No idea who to replace De Bruyne though. Already have Son, Salah, Fernandes and Saka
I want Cavani but don’t trust him to start

I've gone with the cheapo axis of Bamford, Antonio and C. Wilson up front for a few weeks now. The latter is probably a bit of a waste.
Drafted Salah back in for KDB so may the good times roll for him again.
100 with Martinez still to play.
I always look at Wilson and like the price, but then I remember he must touch the ball about 3 times per 90.
Grealish & Watkins to play. Hoping for a rout.
Mahow, can I sign up to alerts, YOU FUCKING CUNT?
Not bitter.
125(-8 for transfers) with Martinez to play.
KDB and Salah out, Son and Sterling in.
58 with Martinez to play - literally zero goals in my team, and one de Bruyne assist.
With both him and Vardy out for the coming weeks, I'll probably be fielding a 5-4-1 for the next gameweek.
Is there another gameweek and has the deadline already passed? Shiiiiiiit.
I'm through to round 4 of the cup, where I've been drawn against Saudi Arabia's Musaed Ahmed. He is ranked around 500,000 (about 2 million places above me) and has a very fancy XI indeed, however my Creswell-Soucek-Antonio West Ham axis of death is already out with the bonesaw clearing space for him in the fantasy football mass grave that is my ongoing cup run. If I beat this cunt he can suck my dick (and then get beheaded for it).
Of course Soucek’s scored two already, the week after I triple captained him and got a grand total of 12.
I'm a twit
Could see some crazy scores this gameweek.
Ofcourse when I finally give up on Firmino he scores
Yep, same here. Sold Firmino for Ings, have got Salah and Robertson. My brilliant Captain Rashford ploy also did not really come off.
None of my ploys came off but it was enough to beat my Saudi shitbag opponent in the cup and into round 5. However, an overly hasty move to bring Dias in for Reece James might well be costly if that Kane injury leads to him not playing at the weekend.
And now there are no good strikers.
Kane has sadly died, so I've bunged 8 points on bringing in Sterling and Watkins. You had better fucking not fail me, Raheem.
Aye Antonio is a must at the minute. Although how he contrived not to score against Palace I’ll never know.
The Kane and Vardy injuries are playing into my no premium striker life philosophy nicely. The value hit when these cretins sell and rebuy the likes of Kane, DCL and Vardy About time I fucking had some good fortune after some truly unspeakable GWs.
I got on Antonio too early and had to get off before he popped but hopefully those hammies have less than 180 mins in them.
DCL and Sterling in, Fernandez and Kane out.
I went for Watkins and Salah in for Kane and el Ghazi. Too heavy on Villa, but they do have 2 games in hand. Grealish 1 yellow from suspension so avoiding right now.
Anyway, Antionio might have been better, and Salah is a gamle given his shite form. But it's gotta turn at some point, right?
Think ill do Soucek to Gundogan this week.
Really rough week for captains. Gundogan, Salah or Son the front runners at the moment.
I've held off reintroducing Son on the basis that I'm sure the link-up with Kane is of great help to him (as the one with Son is for Kane).
Son I think is just a little too good value to not have him.
When Kane's off, does Son do penalties?
I somehow have Callum Wilson as my vice captain so if anyone sees Son out and about today give him a dig in the shins from me.
I see my captain Sterling and Stones have been ruthlessly axed for today’s gimme win and a clean sheet.
I knew bringing in Sterling was a terrible idea. The man is a fucking lunatic who wins about half as many trophies as he should, if that.
Got lucky on Stones as well, hovered the cursor over him before choosing Dias.
Sterling is my captain with Kane as my vice
In similar, albeit perhaps less traumatising classic fantasy shit, Saiss starts getting left out of the Wolves team and they start keeping clean sheets all of a sudden. Probably only going to have two defenders this week with Walker-Peters out and Cancelo dropped.
I think it’s time to load up on good defenders. No team seems to have any really energy about them at the minute, and the league’s best assister and two best strikers are injured.
I would normally be like that, but this year I am so bored I find myself clicking on the bookmark basically every day.
Went Areola over Leno in nets this week. Who's the tit now etc?
I should set-up a bot that somehow fades picks it has in common with Niko transfers/subs and see how it does.
That VAR call against Ings means Martinez on my bench outscores four of my starting players put together. I knew I'd pick the wrong keeper in the McCarthy/Martinez conundrum.
Got board and wildcarded. I'm thinking about captaining a City defender. Look at this record.
