    Sané (c)

    Not feeling great about the GW, but if I hit the average I'll be happy. Will be delighted to keep consolidating around 500 OR, or even just stay around 1k before I start using my chips.

    Fabianski
    Laporte VVD AWB
    Salah Sané Mané Pogba
    Jimenez Barnes Rashford

    Hamer Deulofeu Bennett Digne

    G'luck all.

    I’m also not expecting much from this gameweek, but I’ll have 2 FT’s to start maneuvering for the upcoming blanks and have all my chips intact, so feel I’ll be well placed if I can stay in or around the same this week (18k).

    No hits....

    Fabianski
    Alonso - Luiz - Robertson - Shaw
    Sane - Salah - Richarlison
    Rashford - Aguero (c) - Mitro

    [Hamer - AWB - Hojbjerg - Brooks]

    Opted to just worry about this gameweek instead of thinking too far ahead. Still have all my chips... Dropping Haz when at home to Huddersfield was wrecking my head all week but safer to have Sane in as everyone in my main league has him. Rashford in for Arnie too as don't like playing 5 at the back.

    Sterling or Aguero or Sane

    Have all 3

    Could be last week for double gameweek with free hit & bench boost being used on other two

    Hazard will be a troll regardless of what happens. Either blanking at home to the worst team in the league or scoring a hat trick when everyone has sold him.

    Hoping for the latter!

    No hits...2 FTs used on Digne & Pogba out for Kola & Son.

    Selling Pogba could come back to haunt me I guess but felt it was time to move away from the template, albeit only slightly.

    Not getting too excited by the mini DGW shenanigans...got badly burned in a similar situation last season. Don’t trust Pep and Everton don’t inspire any confidence.

    Anyhoo here’s the troops...

    Foster

    AWB | Robertson | Doherty

    Salah (c) | Sane | Son | Richarlison

    Rashford | Jiminez | Firmino

    Subs: Hamer | McNeil | Kola | Balbuena

    Ended up wildcarding last night - had 3non playing defenders and doubts over one or two others, when I played my TC I got 45 points, FH got me 102, So I'm hoping playing the WC today pays off as well.

    Team is now

    Boruc,
    Zouma, Clyne, Bardsley
    Westwood, Sterling, Sane, Salah
    Aguero, PEA, Rashford

    Guaita, Bennett, Bednarek, Puncheon

    Had thought of getting in Dilva for Sterling and have a slightly stronger defence, but I'm happy with the above for the time being, should have 5 playing defenders.

    Getting the City players could backfire, especially with the blank coming up, but if they do hit their stride, not having them could impact me more, as I didn't have much of a bench before, so instead of taking -12 best to sort out most of team.

    It's easy enough for me to get back in Son/Pogba if it goes astray.

    I still have both the money lost on them now is staggering , there is no way I could sell home to Huddersfield. Hopefully they reward us.

    Doherty surely given potential attacking returns? Everton look light at lb maybe really light depending on weather baines is fit.

    Looks a good game for him especially if Bernardo starts as he isn't the best for tracking back

    I was having a look at Palace earlier and they have a pretty poor home record, Zaha is also out who helps them out by being able to get them up the pitch as he is a great dribbler so we could see them under more pressure then they would be without him.

    I know Fulham aren't great but they do score a lot of goals and if Palace conceed hard to see Van-B picking up any other points

    Do we know the possibility of another DGW? If the chances were low, I'd also be tempted to TC Aguero too. But it's not really a gut feeling.

    Feeling nervous about this gw for some reason. Couple of decisions still to decide but currently starting with:

    Etheridge
    Doherty Robertson Awb
    Salah Sterling Sane Pogba
    Aguero(c) Jimenez Rashford

    Duffy Bednarek Puncheon

    Was tempted by tc, but gonna hold off on it, but might yet switch captaincy to Sterling. Still deciding between Awb and Duffy starting
