You know it's a bad game week when...

your best move was playing your 4.0 keeper over your 5.0 keeper.

Brilliant

Played Munoz and Sarr from gw1

No transfers so far and dare I say it just the Palmer injury

The ups and downs of the rollercoaster we know as FPL. Yesterday I was rueing my decision to put VdV 2nd bench behind Milenkovic for the Palmer no show.

Today, Rutter does the honourable thing and misses the team bus or something, and all Mickey's hard work at the Etihad has some meaning after all.
Love a bit of deep bench jam.

Picking Palace players over Villa, despite the Chelsea Gw1 fixture probably the best call I've made so far.

Hoping Bruno steps up later on too.
