    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!

    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.

    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!

    I also had him but captained Pereira, I'm not too bothered about that as I was always gonna go with Pereira.

    Just logged in, it's not too bad. I'm gonna have to sell Pereira who's gone til next season and Ings who will be rotated.

    Happy enough with the rest of the team and I even have 3 double game week players in Henderson, Baldock and De Bruyne. Thinking of Grealish as one of my transfers given his double and guaranteed minutes.

    Yeah I only have kdb presently. Have Pereira likewise so I'll probably look at Grealish. My team isn't too bad. Had a transfer plan of action and may well stick to that. 8 f/t left I think. Let's see if we get any more due to circumstances.

    I've 7 transfers. I'm thinking Chris Wood with my other transfer for Ings after Ings plays, he seems guaranteed to start and has had a surprisingly high amount of big chances this season for a Burnly striker.

    What are the thoughts re. any additional transfers or even unlimited transfers for the first gw back? I'd be of the opinion give everyone an extra few transfers (say between 3 and 5).

    I don't mind but it probably wouldn't be much use to people who have saved up their transfers. I think someone with 3 transfers left would get more benefit than someone with 10 left.

    I don't think so. There'll still be a tonne of opportunity to benefit from all the different days games will be played on (which will be significantly more than if things had gone ahead as normal previously). I just think they need to throw us a bit of a bone.

    “Transfers that players have made will stand, with no additional transfers to be awarded for the latter stages of the campaign. The existing five-per-Gameweek transfer cap will remain.”

    There we go. So things are basically picking up where they left off. Initial fixtures added also if you want to have a gander in regards to captain picks

    Had a look at my team quite happy with it. Have 10 transfers left so these few weeks are going to be stressful, aiming for top 5.

    You're definitely in a good position so best of luck. I'll be looking to make top 100. Might make top 50 if things go well. Involved in the in-game money leagues as well so keeping an eye there. And of course myself and Dearg are fighting it out for the honour of Boards league winner. LOL

    It should be a good battle. I just hope it's not all decided by injuries. The bundesliga stats are worrying.

    Top 10 - 4.5
    100 - 5.3
    1000 - 6.1

    I have 7 transfers left in this, and will make 3 to cover captains for the first 2 game weeks. Plan on taking out Richarlison,Van Dijk and Salah and putting in De Bruyne,Fernandes and Aguero. Team then would be:

    Henderson
    Baldock Egan TAA
    KDB Fernandes H Barnes Traore
    Aguero Mane Auba

    Not sure about leaving Traore there but don't have the money and want to hang on to some transfers.

    I have Ings and Fernandes, I think I'll go with Ings as I fancy him to get 1. He will get hauled of around 65 min mark though I think which is giving me doubts.
