    For the last 3 gameweeks, West Ham have played their match a day or two before Spurs played theirs.
    So Spurs knew each time what they needed to do, depending on how West Ham did
    Seems a bit of an advantage to me

      If West Ham won it would be the other way around, Spurs would have the pressure that they would have to win. Goes both ways imo

    Season that keeps on giving, Bruno G blank when I bought him in for Rogers. Other option I had in mind was Szobo and he got 2 assists, need to stop listening to the experts and just go with the gut.

    Season over unless C Gabriel braces, gets defcon and keeps CS. I didn't even think that I have played that badly this season, but the game has changed. During previous seasons points differences between 100k and 300k were huge, now it's very stacked. Brighton doing "too well" created far too many points for those who had WC32 strategy. I feel like this game is sort of going towards poker from chess. Well, there will be time to analyse mistakes and be better next season. Perhaps avoiding the template from the start might be an idea.

        I am seriously considering Anthony for last gw. I naturally benched Darlow for Raya, so with my current luck I can see them conceding. Last time in similar situation I captained Cancelo with over 60% CS odds just to see him make a foul in the box, getting RC and conceding. That's still almost haunting me.
