Egan legend

Egan devil.

Benched Egan & Henderson. But first GW ending in top 10k after lots of dipping and diving within gameweeks 🙂

Mane + DCL out, Foden and Kane in, Jimenez benched.

So less rough with the smooth and more meh with the meh.

Took a hit to get Greenwood and Foden for Nketiah and Grealish. KDB captain didn't work out as I had hoped but Egan scored, Salah, Bruno, Auba and DDG delivered. Boly and Kane blanked though. 91 points.

Worked out well, Vardy in for Jimi
Aurier again
Fernandes and Salah
Greenwood the excellent budget player
Only downside was captaining KDB over Bruno and Salah but I never thought twice about captaining anyone else

Overall 86 points

Planned to move Jota & AWB to Greenwood & Digne. Changed my mind and moved Jota & Salah to Kane & Foden. Benched Pope and C.Taylor. No smooth!

Kane (C) and Son 🙁 but still managed to score 66 which I’m happy with given the former

Good week but hell of a rollercoaster day. Would have been knocked out of the cup but for disallowed Rashford goal and hand of King 🙂

Absolute horror show

Watched Egan destroy my two wolves cleansheets in almost slow motion in 93rd minute

City generate 10 attacking returns, Captain KDB gets one of them

Transfer Salah out for Sterling thinking Mane would start

Taylor 12 pointer first sub

Rashford blank, Martial underwhelm, Bruno not captained... red arrow into the 50k’s

But we have to keep going - Vardy or Sterling CaPtAiN this weekend will recover lost ground

Onward!

My moves were Salah, DCL > Foden(C), Vardy -4.

The alternative was Rashford, DCL > Greenwood, Vardy -4 which would've had Bruno(C) and obviously not missed Salah's haul, I don't even wanna work out the points swing.

Rough. Doherty and Patricio CS lost, Double Liv defense failed also, Azpi 1 pt. Last week's Captain Salah out for KdB. Foden fail. 56-4 = 52 and my rank more doubled and now outside of top 40k.

Smooth: Starting Azpi over Jimenez cost me only 1pt.

(K)DB is ok-ish after all
Salah and Ings pushed me to rank 292 overall after 91 points GW though...
Still can't believe it

My captaincy since resume has yielded 5 assists, 2 of which were Aguero. Not happy.

Kill me now, was at 7k now 17k
- Martinez late clean sheet lost
- wolves late clean sheet lost
- my city assets blank / poor return (KDB)
- benched Greenwood
- mane 0
- Son catastrophic

Sterling (c) was a roller coaster ride

Sold Salah + DCL to Foden + Kane for a -4 hit

Rashford, Jimenez, Doherty and KDC (c)

Horror gameweek

Everything is good until, Foden and KDB(C) decide to give their mate all the praises.

Smooth: opting to play Egan over Doherty two gameweeks running.

Rough: opting to leave Vardy on the bench and play Foden two gameweeks running.

Had a wildcard team that gave me a small red arrow, the crux of the team was moving Salah out for Kane. Here are all of the moves.

Martin (0) -> Martinez (3) (Benched)
Justin (2) -> Digne (6) (Benched)
Robinson (0) -> Lamptey (3) (Benched)
Salah (18) -> Foden (3) (Benched)
Egan (15) -> Azpilicueta (1)
Rashford (2) -> Greenwood (7)
Nketiah (-2) -> Ings (9)
Jimenez (2) -> Kane (2)

In my original team I would’ve benched Justin, Robinson & Nketiah. So I traded 37 playing points for 19.

Scored 73 points and dropped back to 33k. My original team would’ve halved the gap to the top 10k, my tactic of making proactive moves didn’t pay off this week but having been at 135k since the restart I am happy with the progress. Have already moved Kane on for Vardy & hoping Salah doesn’t punish me too much again this week.

Smooth- sold mane & Rashford for kdb & Greenwood
Rough- capped kdb, no Salah, Doherty cs destroyed at the end

77 points and up to 1181 OR.

Salah, KdB(c), Fernandes, Greenwood, all returning. Resisted doing Dendoncker>Foden and glad I did as I now have 2 FTs and the funds for Jimi>Vardy this week.

Jimi blank, Cahill injury so now down to two subs.

Smooth:
8 of 11 players get returns (including captain)
Got my bench right,
-4 hit gave me +11 points
Scored 20 points above average
Rough: Red Arrow!
