    So just a 4 points difference to the Cov triple captain?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 day, 5 hours ago

      Yeah if it stays like this. I'll take it

        If you are bad at math, sure

    4. CoracAld2831

      Normal captaincy in GW6: 13 * 2 = 26
      Triple captaincy in GW6: 13 * 3 = 39

      39 - 26 = 13

      Nornal captaincy in GW3: 9 * 2 = 18
      Triple caotaincy in GW3: 9 * 3 = 27

      27 - 16 = 9

      GW6 TC v GW3 TC: 39 - 27 = 12

      1. CoracAld2831
        1 day, 3 hours ago

        That 16 should.be 18, but otherwise should be correct.

        (My thumb slipped apologies)

    Gvardiol has beeen an awful pick. Two sub appearances since I WC'd. He has to go.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      I kept him on WC this week stubbornly.

      Who you looking at getting in?

    2. Hughes Your Daddy

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      The issue is that he may haul in next game. He has to go, yes... But I can see him starting next one depending on next match.

    4. Eightball
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      I had him from GW3 so got some nice points from him but he is a total headache now. Has to go. Probably for Muharemović I think.

  25. Fifa las vegas
