Up to 13th in boards league

73 in the end, which is very pleasing given the Kane captaincy failure. Midfield delivered in spades (Salah, Sane, Gross, Richarlison and RLC). 2 FT this week now too.

Up from 10.1k to 7.9k.

65(-8) and a 40k drop to 110k. My -8 involved selling hazard and getting lukaku in to move the captaincy off salah. The previous week my -4 involved getting Kane in and moving the captaincy off salah. Cost me about 50 pts. No doubt the week I ignore the obvious captain they will fire . On the plus side I've now got the city players I want in sane and sterling.

86 points in the end (no hits...no transfers :eek:).

Green arrows all around - rise from 347K to 129K....although last nights game and the autosubs, vice captains etc cost me around 40K in OR.

Have opened up a whopping 2 point lead in my main money league as well - was 50+ points off top a couple of weeks ago.

66 (-4) and a small green arrow. I'll take that having captained Kane and only having 10 players.

Nice to see green arrows again.

Had the same in gw 9 and 10 dropped 500k over the two gw's,
86pts -4 this week drags me back up to 285k

68 (-12). 95k down to 472k. But a team in a much better shape.
Next 4-5 GWs will make it a bad or good -12 decision

Either a 16 point hit or quit the game, not decided yet

Exactly that. I'm gonna be away for work too until the beginning of November. So second option is an option. But the mega hit will be more fun. My spare time will decide.

Back after a longer work mission than expected.

So. Kinda did what I wrote in the end. Took a 24 pts hit over the last 4 GWs (3 4 pts hits and a 12 pts hit this GW). I was 830k by GW8. I'm 472k now.
But it's not all that positive.

I forgot about the Friday deadline for GW9 and did not remember how my team was lining up. Got a quite depressive in the end 62k GW rank that brought me up to 278k (think it was mainly due to Kane (C)). Irony is the only things that did not work that GW were mine (Sterling & Jones in, Cedric out).

Then I managed to log in time to set my team up for the next 3 GWs... for 3 red arrows

. Though it's mainly due to my recurrent captain fails.

That said, this GW went decent for me. Richarlison & Gross just made it a bad one and will give me headaches now.

Transfers were
Foster + Otamendi + Sterling + Ritchie out. 1 (Elliot, my other GK, got 1 too) + 0 (I had no one to sub in, Jones & Gámez) + 3 + 2 = 6 pts.
DeGea + Daniels + Sané + Surman in. 3 + 8 + 7 + 6 = 24 pts -12 = 12 pts.

So my -12 immediately worked out, which is great. I made my transfers with mainly a mid-term plan in mind (~ next 6 games). My main worry is Richarlison & Gross form. I decided against them and for Surman considering B'mouth great run and their respective prices. 3rd striker is giving me nausea lately (Diouf, Abraham) so wanted to have a bit more cash to play with.

Maybe though the solution could be to get one of them for Carroll and play 3-5-2? Will have to pounder whether I'm happy with David Silva (who could become Pogba or Alli) or I prefer going for a 3rd premium striker and downgrade this midfield spot to Richarlison or Gross.
