That’s that Watkins is gone. Useless in fpl this season. Good fixtures are a trap with him

Zouma being back is big for whu

yeah have had him about 5 gws now and he hasnt done much in that time. He is getting chances but not putting them away. Think I might look to downgrade that position to bench fodder so I can keep Kane and get Salah back while maintaining a premium defence

Watkins is frustrating but he has a DGW soon too.

Had Cash also and while 5 is not to be sniffed at, looking over at Digne with his 12 is annoying. If only I had waited for Digne instead of going for Cash early.

Lovely introduction to Digne if anyone has him.

Brentford game interrupted by drone.

Hopefully so, would bring a lot more enjoyment back to it.

Luckily the players were taken off the pitch before it came to this. They're back on the pitch again.

This Man United v West Ham game is sort of bittersweet for me so far.

I have De Gea and Bowen. I benched Diop plus Antonio - so the fact Diop was dropped is a bit least annoying. At the same time I will be a bit put out if Man United get a clean sheet. Because I captained de Gea for the DGW 22. Where was that battling and seeing out a game type play when I wanted it!? West Ham are much more difficult opponents this week and a clean sheet looks likely with about 45min gone - no attempts on target for either team. De Gea much less work to do than the previous matches.

Finally a goal.

0-1 Wolves

Moutinho (Semedo)

And like buses they all come at once.

0-1 Newcastle

Shelvey

I've DDG and Dawson on the bench, of course it's going to end 0-0.

Coufal on my bench and he ain't budging. Came off early with the CS.

First sub is DCL. Playing Gray ahead of him giving me a juicy 1 extra point as I inch away from negative points. Currently 4 from 4. HEWT.
