Whenever someone says they expect a low scoring week we're guaranteed a high scoring one haha.

49 with Zlatan , Aguero ,Baines and Lallana left.

Not expecting much but a brace from Aguero would be more than welcome, likely to sell if he doesn't start or deliver as Spurs up next week.

Father Hernandez

No Kane or Alonso but managed a 74 which I'm delighted about!

Zlatan & Lallana to go.

Most consistent week I've ever had from each player, from 9 players Giroud got me 5 which was my lowest.

A United slaughtering of Liverpool would top off the weekend nicely

SlickRic

If Chambers and Luiz hold their BPs I'll be 64 with Aguero left.

I need him to outscore Ibra to probably tread water.

My wildcard was great bar getting rid of Alonso, which screwed it all a bit!

And people were saying this was going to be a low scoring week.

FutureGuy

88 with Ibra to play.

Hogey007

72 (-4) with lovren, Lallana & ibra to play if BPS hold.
Happy with that given I didn't have Kane in the early kick off.

spock.

77 with Ibra to go.

Didn't have Alonso or Kane so I'll take that.

KevIRL

77(no hits) ibra and lallana left. Chelsea game changed the entire GW for me

I need a 3 point score from Phil Jones to achieve the same. That BP lost by Snodgrass is feeling all the more bittersweet with that in mind

First world problems.

ScummyMan

80 after BPS with Jones Yaya Lallana and Ibra to go. Happy as a pig in sh!t

No one is disputing a goal was coming. No one. That's not the point. He's carrying an injury, and Ake was recalled. He posted pictures of himself of an injury table. There was a lot of talk of a rest or rotation at a time when lots of other players are doubts.

Whould I like to have kept him? Absolutely. But I am sick of doubtful players.

He has started every single game though, since he got into the team after the Arsenal debacle.

Transfers out were definitely premature. There were no indications he wouldn't start this week. All that came out was that he'd been carrying an injury all season. But he played 90 minutes in all those games bar one.

km79

Yes I sold Alonso BUT I have 87 after bonus potentially with Ibra 9 of my 10 players scored at least 5 points
Happy enough with that

entropi

Should have TC'd Kane, had San(C)hez instead. Still, 69 so far, two to play.

Benimar

I think people are confusing the time line of events. That snapchat was posted before the spurs game. He was doubtful for that. He then played.
I'd be annoyed too if I sold him but I don't think it's harsh on anyone who did.
I went with giroud over Kane today as costa's replacement. Goes off injured after 59 minutes. Coulda easily got another 1 or 2 in that 30 minutes like Kane did in the closing minutes.
I don't feel that was harsh on me though. I made a decision that didn't quite go for me. Just like anyone who sold alonso.

This. Especially since it's a marathon and not a sprint. Sure, Alonso and Kane had a great GW but who is to say what the next couple of weeks will bring compared to whoever they brought in instead.

2nd Row Donkey

Kane (c) hatrick
Goals from Sanchez and Defoe. Assist and cs points for Alli and 2 CS from Chambers and Mee.

... Slightly disappointed to only score 65.

Only Lallana and Ibra to go.

Chesty08

Looking like 74 with ..... Aguero & Ibra to play. That is insane!

They're both going to score points over the season. Like the Firmino/Coutinho/Mané/Lallana conundrum at Liverpool early in the season, you've got to choose one and stick or you will probably suffer.

I've said it before but I think Pedro is a much better finisher than hazard. I'd back Pedro to match hazards score the thing that keeps hazard in it is the fact he is on pens.

Agree with both comments.

Have owned Pedro & Hazard at different stages of the season.

Problem is with Pedro is his gametime, it's nowhere near guaranteed - I'd have him over Haz all day long if he was getting 90 mins each game.

Said it before but Hazard IMO is overpriced for what you get in points returns.

The Costa situation will help Pedro but Willian seems more nailed on and favoured by Conte. Keeping an eye on it!

ArmaniJeanss

Willian/Pedro off, Batman & Ruben on.

pimpmyhat

If things stay as they are it's looking like 103 pts
With Phil Jones to play.
I very nearly triple captained Kane
You could of been looking at the manager of the week if I had!!!

Problem is the value differential is much more pronounced in the hazard/Pedro case

I agree.

Purely from a 'switch back and forth' tactic, in itself, it usually ends in tears.

Haz off, fab on.

There were reports he's been carrying an injury for quite some time. Not that he had just been injured, if he's had it for some time it's unlikely he'd be dropped all of a sudden. Having seen a lot of his matches I'm not surprised at a big score from him, it's been coming.
Alonso plays hull next week. So I don't really see it as being harsh for people who sold an inform player because he had one poor return (spurs) and there was gossip of a niggley injury.
