Or not.
I can't account for Pep Roulette. He's on the bench, so he's fit.
I meant to triple captain Raheem this week but forgot. Let's hope a couple of Spurs games get called off for high winds or something soon.
Brought Barnes in over Rodriguez. Pain
Who captained Gundy.
Got him vice (meant to have him captain but didn't change it after bringing him in) so hopefully Dias dies.
I've got Gundo captain. Sitting on 75 points from 6. Still have 10 to play.
Dias returns and Gundogan misses out entirely, I'm not sure which case scenario that is, but it doesn't feel great.
I think at this point we have to conclude Pep is a genuine weirdo.
Sterling hatrick please.
I was hoping DCL might get some minutes here, none of my subs played either :\
Stones being dropped is also a shitter.
Captain Foden didn't quite come off as I'd have liked, but seeing as I have none of Gundogan/Stones/Cancelo in my team, I'll take 89 points. Could have saved myself the -4 hit for Pope as - of course - Martinez outscored him with one less match played. At some point I should just stick Martinez in goal and never think about goalkeepers again.
Captain Ings for next gameweek.
I guess the good thing about last night was damage limitation rather than catching up.
Ings captain yes.
Given my performance is directly correlated to Liverpool and indirectly correlated to the Portuguese Bugs Bunny, I expect this (or possibly the weekend after) to be the turning point. Starting point is #900K. Let's go.
I'm up inside the top two million now, I always start like a wanker and have to recover. Might have to employ a crack team of analysts over this summer.
Wildcarded and brought in Harry Kané and Sadio Mane, their teams can't continue to be shit for any longer surely.
I've gone big triple on Bamford this week as it's the last time I can see it being usable for a double gameweek [will there be others?] and surely he's guaranteed to at least start both games. There's an absolute horror show of a week on the horizon which I think I'll have to burn my free hit on when it comes along.
Raphinha is what you want to be TC-ing for that extra differential potential. FH planned for that week also although I'm not clear why it's come about and why they won't arrange some of the games in the backlog for that week so it might become better in the next couple weeks?
Yeah, that's the FA Cup weekend so I guess there will be rescheduled games which just aren't appearing on the gameweek planner [unsatisfactory] but there are so many of them that it doesn't feel like a double you'll have to specifically plan for and could be the bench boost week for me [if they all happen in the same gameweek]. Liverpool and meant to be playing Chelsea, for example, which will I guess be somewhat dependent on European commitments for rescheduling.
Salah and Antonio out for Raphinha and Ings my two free transfers.
Bamford captain.
I'm sitting about 50k, have been around the same rank for a while now. Need to put a run of good weeks together and get into the top 25k.
Sterling, Stones and Antonio out, Salah, Dunk and Ings in. I’m done with Pep’s shenanigans. I’ve even put Dias on the bench this week.
I’ve had no joy with captains or big money signings recently. Going safe with Bamford this week. I don’t feel good about a bench of Martinez, Watkins, Soucek and Dias as they are all in good form, but two Burnley defenders at home to WBA is surely a gimme and I’m loathe to leave Son on the bench. He’s in the last chance saloon at this point though.
Very concerned about that 3 fixture gameweek on the horizon as I’ve used my free hit already. Not sure whether to plan my next few weeks of transfers round that and then use my wildcard or just take the hit.

Raphinha is in and captained.
I'm a twit
Wolves-Leeds on a Friday in an empty stadium and yet millions tuning in treating it like the CL final thanks to this beautiful game. You love to see it.
Kept DCL in as Ancelotti the prick said he should be able to start
Burnley double clean sheet you love to see it.
Shambles of a week so far.
Shaping up to be an under 40 week.
There's a massive double gameweek next up, has that always been there or has it just sprung out of nowhere?
I'm sure it wasn't there when I looked earlier in the week.
It's been suspected to be one for a while, but was only announced yesterday.
Was announced one minute after deadline.
Pep resting Foden ffs.
Pretty shithouse way to run things.
So, last week’s dealings in summary:
Sterling out - scored
Antonio out - scored
Stones out - clean sheet
Salah in - nothing
Ings in - nothing (so far)
Dunk in - hoping for a goal and a masterful defensive performance tonight
I've already gone -8 for next week: Calvert-Lewin, Wan-Bissaka and Targett in, Antonio, Cresswell and Dallas out. Definitely too early, but planning for the upcoming gameweeks was giving me a headache and I just wanted to get it over with.
Will probably play the bench boost, because as I understand there is no double gameweek as big as this for the remainder of the season. I'm captaining Salah, as at this point some sort of Stockholm Syndrome has set in.
I would certainly have played my transfers last week (and probably in the week prior) completely differently had this double gameweek been known, which is galling.
My sweet LUFC taken me over 70.
They really are a bunch of heroes.
Double gameweek, caution to the wind, triple captain Harvey Barnes. Vamos chicos.
City have two double game weeks on the trot. Russian roulette as to who is guaranteed to play mind
Stuart Dallas is right up there in the all time top-value rankings. Always seems to score points.
If I’d left my team alone I’d probably have hit 90-100, rather than the 70 odd I ended up
Wildcard is happening this week. This is the defining couple of weeks now.
I've ended up having to spend 16 points in instalments this week. That penalty can't be avoided through a retrospective WC employed now, right?
Right.

Actually, I intend on using BB anyway so meh. Gonna be some ride.
No idea wtf I'm going to use WC for given I have FH for the death week (assuming 16 fixtures involving Bruno playing against Derby don't get announced the night before to fuck that up too).
If you use the wildcard now you get the points back.
Ooof. Let's chance it with BB and see if Meslier, Dallas, Raphinha and AMN (x2) can recoup the 16 points or not.
Interesting strategy, losing points to transfer in some of the few players that don't have a double game week.
They're the lowest scoring point scorers in my 15 so would be the ones to be sacrificed if I was to play WC over BB (although AMN in for Coufal was as a result of a transfer this week but that's because I have him recouping that 4 point penalty).
Just spotted that Pep benched Foden and Sterling
He's such a cunt.
Fuck off Stones and Dias fuck sake.
The thing with Pep's rotations is it's not like a normal manager where he rotates things logically and brings his stronger players to the hardest games, or doesn't make anyone do 3 in a week. It seems to be a random number generator.
