    Hmmmm big score for Richarlison(44% top 1k ownership). Not ideal, though i do have him in my B team. What's to be said for a Lewis Dunk goal and CS?

    6th in the Boards League, and around 22K overall, not having Salah the last few weeks killed me. 11 transfers to go and my team is now:

    Henderson
    Baldock Egan TAA Van Dijk
    De Bruyne Traore Richarlison Barnes
    Aguero Vardy.

    Will fiddle around with the transfers to play around with the strikers. any kind of improvement and I will be happy. A good start today!

    That's a nice looking team. Good start with Ricky, and you'll make good ground if Sheff Utd defense does well in upcoming games. Just 11 transfers like myself!

    Bad start for us. I'd say that kills off my chances of winning it although that was always a long shot.

    The only match coming up I plan to ignore is Chelsea vs Man Utd. Bad enough having players from either team in my FPL team during the season without wasting a transfer and captaining one of them for that!

    It really doesn’t say. Ricky could go on a barren run and - say Robertson - could score very well. It’s one game day. Dunk got the tier 2 passing bonus at least to give me 10 points.

    Nightmare. I really need Sheff Utd to concede now. Should have made my B team my A team!

    Only the 8 points from the 3 Sheffield United players, very disappointed with that.
    Callum Wilson strikes again :)

    Aguero missing out is so annoying, was planning on transferring him to Salah after captaining him today. A waste of a precious transfer now.

    The annoying thing is not knowing the rearranged fixture date. I hope we hear something before the weekend. On the plus side I somehow won my cup match 6-2.

    How we gettin' on? I'm on 72 pts this gameweek, 317th overall. Down slightly since the overhaul but no transfers used and I have captains Fernandes and KDB to go so pretty happy.

    Good day yesterday with triple Pool defence. Debating whether to do Ricky to Fernandes so I can have a captain tomorrow night. Have 16 transfers left so think I'll do it. Aguero cap then on Wednesday.

    Just outside 5k so not as good as ye high flyers here! It's my first season taking it seriously, though I lapsed a bit mid season, so I'd be happy finishing in the top 5k.

    You're doin' pretty well. You'll have more transfers than most, if you nail a few captains, you could soon close in on the top 1k.

    The postponed match has blocked me from my planned transfer of De Bruyne to Fernandes. I might do Robertson instead so that I have a captain tonight. I've dropped down back to 127 now.

    Fernandes(C) and Auba today returning nicely. Neither too highly owned in top 1k so hopefully will see a nice little bump in the rankings. Have to decide now to keep Auba or not. Had in mind to get in one of the Liverpool lads tomorrow for him.
