Could have sworn there was a double gameweek the week after this one, but it seems to have now lapsed into this one. Did I just imagine that?
This season has gone to shit since covid started wrecking the fixture list.
Captain Dennis

Foster for Bachmann as my solitary transfer. End this misery ffs.
Sold Sterling this week lol
Managed some very jammy Keane points off the bench this week.

No triple captain for Salah?
TC'd TAA. Salah may have some mins stolen off him now.
-20 for me this week. TC on Salah.
-12 TC Salah, FH 27 then WC 28.
All this triple captaining has Salah injured in the warm-ups/going on strike over his new contract written all over it.

The curses I've cooked up this season. Magical.
Edouard getting one minute at the end there really takes the piss. 6 players totaled 6 points for me.
Gallagher and Livramento chilling with 24 on the bench.
Thank god for Salah, although that's just a treading water thing.
Captain Trent, what was I thinking.

@-james- has smashed it this week. 145 with 4 to play, sitting pretty at the top and Andy in second has nobody left to play.

Looks like there are a few serious double gameweeks on the horizon again but I have no idea how to use my chips to take advantage - free hit [do we still have two of those if not used any yet?] then wildcard then bench boost?
Putting your triple captain on a defender makes no sense to me. Far too easy for a mistake or incident outside their control to ruin their main source of points. Plus the fact that the greatest goalscorer in the league was playing against cannon fodder.
I've got 148 with Ramsdale, White, Coady, and Smith Rowe still to play. Going to free hit this weekend as I'm stacked on Liverpool and Arsenal, then wildcard probably, then try and style out the bench boost on a random double gameweek if I can.
The whole game feels like it needs a major rebalancing. Salah specifically, and Liverpool more generally have broken it. Top 'keeper, 3 of the top 4 defenders, 3 of the top 5 midfielders, forwards are a complete waste of time . . .
Last change to team was benching Schar for Broja
I went big on the Wolves defence. /
Digne captaincy for the differentials, transferring out Zaha and going for Wood over Toney. Light work.
Saka on the bench too What a fucking bench boost this would've been.
Probably the best bench I'v ever had. 10, 10 & 12 points. Struck gold one week to early as I'm planning BB next GW.
Apparently anyone who selected Russia as their country when registering has had their team deleted.
Of course I have Coady buried deep on my bench.
Gameweek 30 is a write-off.

Second time I've had a player sent off in the first game of a double gameweek.
Three points so far from my three Burnley and Everton players. Midweek game better be a 5-5 with a Ben Godfrey hat trick.
The lesson of this season is just avoid thinking of shit teams' double GWs as some sort of advantage. 10 Burnley games in 1 GW wouldn't be worth my trust in Cornet and Weghorst.
Really glad I spent points on getting Kane in for his 1 assist in 5 fucking Spurs goals.
Another 4 goals for Spurs, and none for Harry [I know he has some assists].
Of course I'm up against someone who has captained Son as well.
Managed to have Vardy, Richarlison and Maddison in my team last week, but chose to captain Danny 'always scores against Burnley' Ings.
42 points to make up in my mini-league now to win a free dinner. Think it's too much.
I'm 18 behind top spot in mine. Would have been 8 if Mount had played a single minute over the last two games to stop my competition getting Mateta off the bench.
I nearly pumped James out the cup after making a transfer for the first time since last year. (It was only to piss my mate off as he was boasting about a free route to the semis).
93-92 I think it was lolz
My mini league is always a battle for 1-2 between the same two people, and then an actual battle for the remaining 10 or so, to come 3rd.
I am currently in third after some recent heroics.
For reference I’m 164 behind 2nd and never been in with a chance of cracking the top 2, as has been the case for the past 2 seasons. (28 points ahead of 4th)
Kind of like real life, really.
Captain Reece James this week. Clean sheet and hattrick please.

That's a bandwagon I can get aboard for some differential action. Not sure that's the best plan for holding a lead though.
Son/Kane feels the obvious go to captain, but whenever I do that it's always a massive letdown [conversely if I don't Kane will get 4].
Kane now 'unwell' after I've drafted him in.
He's bound to end up having covid.
They have a good positioning outbreak apparently
Spaghetti alla vongole this time?
