    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.

    Nice score. I'm having a mare this week, I really should have brought in Fernandes too like I planned.

    You’re pretty well stocked up on ‘Pool for tomorrow. I think one thing that’s obvious is things can change very quickly in this game. I’m contemplating an Auba and Henderson to Manè and Gomez double transfer tomorrow. Would be my first transfers since overhaul. 11 remaining as stands.

    I should claw back some ground tomorrow for sure but I picked a bad overhaul team. 4 players blanking next week was careless. I'll probably sell Grealish though probably for Jota.

    I lost patience with my overhaul team and brought in Jota and Fernandes. Down to 7 transfers but got some much needed points today.

    70 points off the top spot , I suspect they have made more transfers then me at this stage. Still 10 game weeks left lot to play for.

    Are we getting a West Ham player in? 2 captain fixtures though I'm not sure I'm willing to burn a transfer on it (2 really, since I wouldn't be willing to keep them much longer)

    I’m not planning on no one really looks appealing. Jarrod Bowen would be my pick if I had to bring someone in .

    Yeah he was the one I was looking at. Is he nailed on though? At £7.9m he could act as a kind of a placeholder for Grealish - has 4 fixtures to Grealishes 2 including those 2 captainable fixtures. Could then get Grealish in. Have to give it some more thought. 9 transfers left!

    yeah i have Alisson myself :rolleyes: ! i'm feeling a little bit better about my prospects now having seen that stat. 125th now so top 100(maybe top 50) and maybe finishing in the money positions in the cash leagues is a possibility

    You will defo get in top 100 at least. Most players will be struggling with transfers soon .

    I forgot to replace Allison yesterday, annoying as I probably would have gone for Henderson who got a 14 pointer. Went for Ederson now instead, not entirely happy with him but we'll see...

    I went for Pope ahead of Henderson. Ouch. Hope it evens itself out over the long term.

    You'll get the extra game with Pope at least because Henderson can't play against United.

    Sheff had an extra game anyway so it cancelled itself out. Just went with Pope as the form pick. Henderson definitely would have been the safer pick. I don't have any Sheff defense. Let's see how it goes.

    Anyone have Barnes tonight? I had him but unfortunately captained Pereira instead. Still a good night though.

    Just Pereira here. No Vardy or Barnes is gonna see a big drop in the rankings for me. Hopefully can bounce back.

    I had Barnes. 34 points, 114 for the week so far. Between him and 3 Sheffield United in defence (2 defenders and Henderson) it's a good week for a change!
