    Total captain score 180

    This proves that am not good at placing the armband. But it all indicates that my overall team contributed a lot more to my overall score, to help me reach 300K-ish rank.

        Yes. I'm hoping he's back. But his injury record is a bit worrying as an FPL pick.

    Anyone got more than 94 points for unused subs from the Gargamel tool? That seems quite high and I'm disappointed in myself.

    Hi All,

    Please RMT/10:

    mignolet, lewis
    mertesacker, fonte, williams, yanga-mbiwa, chester
    hazard, lallana, sessegnon, morrison, jedinak
    aguero, suarez, rooney

    2.5M

    I am not expecting great things.

    The plan is lallana --> walcott if he can just rise 0.1M, failing that I'll look to downgrade one of aguero/rooney. Likely for lukaku in gw16.

    Over next few weeks...Oscar + Michu + Giroud > Roon + Wally + 7.0 mid or less (e.g lallana/sess)

    Good or bad idea?
