    80, small green arrow

    Was hoping for more with Aguero C last night, but no point being greedy about it

    Richarlison the main let-down, transferred him out now so he will probably score a hat-trick in his next game

    Could be worse, saw at least one team with Sane TC !!

    57 - not HEWT but could have been a lot worse.



    Have miraculously held on to very slender leads in my main money leagues somehow and my OR 'only' fell by about 25K to 57K.



    Not bringing in Aguero for Firmino is probably the worst mistake I've ever made playing FPL

    Don't think that sort of thing really should be seen as a mistake. For a hit that was marginal at best imo just on the unfortunate side of variance this time round.

    Relatively, easily my worst gameweek in a few years never mind this season!

    I'm similar to you in that I didn't do the Auba to Aguero switch and got burned by it. However Laporte saved my gameweek so at least I can find solace in that.

    I didn't bring in Aguero and went with Ederson over Laporte as I thought it was safer! Would do the same again though. Just the nature of the beast!

    78 sees me cut a lot of leads in my leagues but small enough OR to 200K. Keane is gone now thankfully

    What a cataclysmic clusterfeic of a week that was. Weeks crawling up the rankings to get smacked back down over 200 k places.

    Sane transfer in driving me inSane. My untouched team would have done better by 15 points which is a large % of what I eventually got.

    My team also suddenly looks a shambles. Think it is wildcard time.

    As Busts said, you can't look at it like that.

    if you had Sane or Sterling, then you did absolutely nothing wrong. if you had Aubameyang, a percentage play, if your team was looking ok, was to get Aguero in, and maybe transfer back this week or even next if you fancy him against Chelsea. Firmino was a perfectly sensible guy to have in your team, especially if you had another City attacking asset.

    some people ripped their teams apart to get Aguero in. that was a risk potentially worth taking, and it's worked out for them, but that was not a percentage play with blanks and a fúckload of games for the team coming.

    they made a play, and it worked. it doesn't mean your play was wrong. a play being wrong and a play not working out are two different things.

    in my instance, Sane should easily have played 120 minutes at least in my mind given Pep's much vaunted reliance on the width he gives without Mendy in the team. captaining him was perfectly sensible, yet only got me 1 point. it sucks, but it wasn't the wrong move. i'd probably do it again if i had the same team and information going into the gameweek.

    Glad to have come out the right side of pep roulette by captaining Aguero. This gw is a real kick in the teeth for those who made the perfectly reasonable decision to captain Sane.

    93 for the week and up to the heady heights of 581 OR, delighted with that ; )

    97

    I had 87 points with Salah, Robertson, Aguero(c), Sterling and Ricky to play. Disappointing to only get 10 points from those 5 but still to finish on 97, I gotta be HEWT

    Had no Aguero, Laporte, or Hazard and had TC (lel) on Sane. Still came out with 67 points so not the worst all things considered. Down several k to 18k. Onto the next GW.
