    Haven’t they introduced this substitution for head injuries thing? Could be tested here.

    You are joking! Was debating Watkins or Bamford as captain. Literally changed last minute!

    I hate Watkins. Have Holding 3rd sub. Might be a good call

    Took a hit that I'm already regretting...

    Martinez

    Lowton | Dias | Coufal

    Salah | Maddison | Gundogan | Bruno | Grealish

    Bamford | Antonio (C)

    Subs: DCL | Robertson | Stones


    How's Grealish playing so far? He's still a differential sorta in my leagues.

    As usual, it's looking like Bruno and Son could destroy my GW....really need some haulage from Captain Anto

    Half time

    Even Martinez might struggle for a save point in this one.

    That Watkins run of points over 8 gws before new year was as unlucky a run as I've had on a player in all my time playing this game. Glad I stuck with him.

    Not an owner (was planning on getting in GW20 but other fires..) but delighted for him, seems a decent lad and an exciting player.

    No transfers

    Martinez
    Lowton Taylor Coufal Chilwell
    Saka Maddison Soucek Salah (c)
    Watkins Firmino

    McCarthy Lacazette Stones Sterling

    Hoping for a lot of differentials this week with Salah c, double Burnley defence (if Taylor plays), and no City.

    I’m hoping he struggles for a clean sheet. Seems to be in every second team I see and I went for Mendy instead of him.

    Mings in with a block at the last second to deny ESR from 10 yards.

    First game I haven’t started him since gw2, wouldn’t mind an Arsenal goal. But I’ve backed Villa!

    As usual it seems Watkins should have had a hat trick by now

    He’s hitting Michu levels of FPL legend.

    Interesting to see how Minamino goes for the Saints today. Could be an option going forward.

    Think I tried to be too smart getting Pope in a week early and benching Martinez.

    Wat-skins the outside of the post with a shot.

    Close, would have been a Jack assist.
