      Yeah, I brought him in for a BB so instead of a CS I got a 0 and my usual low 13 points from BB, what a waste!

      Why has he stopped doing defcon? Was planning to bring in a Sun defender, contemplating if it is worth shelling the extra for Ballard?

        yeah im not sure, sunderland seemed to have moved back to a back 4 now so he should be getting more. ballard looks a great option as well, probably wont be long until hes getting attacking returns again.

    Haaland TC! Yaay!

    Except... No. I selected him as captain and applied TC. TC worked, team changes didn't. Obviously I made the mistake, but I f'ing hate the FPL site redesign. It's worse in every way.

      YES. Something must be done about this to be honest. 2 years ago I activated my BB but for some reason it failed. Only found out later, it was the new FPL website graphic design that let me down.

    Difficult knowing what to make of this week so far… selling Woltemade for Ekitike is obviously in the red so far, had a rare triple captain pay-off with Haaland (as did many!), late Senesi CS wipe is annoying but Foden and Thiago blanks will have been felt by many.
