Both are starting for @jimharri, so the wheel spins were kind. If City loses, we blame him! ;-)

Despite good score for Brighton assume those players blanked. As I said strange players to bring in when Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Bournemouth and Man Utd (Yuck) had far easier games.
19 for me thanks to Marmoush, with 6 to play - but made a bad choice of Captain going for Guardiol.

Minteh got 2 and Van Hecke 1. I'm on 33 points, with Timber Mbuemo, Palmer and Iwobi to play. Fucked up with my captaincy. Salah was my captain, but I shipped him out, and brought in Minteh. The captaincy stayed with that player, and I never thought to check. I probably would have gone for Palmer, though I have Elanga in my team, and he got 13 pts (my top scorer, as of now).

Elanga to the rescue for sure, 33 points is good going.
Bournemouth /brentford game got me some good point - Kerkez assist, Mbemo assist, Wissa goal.
31 points . Bonus points to come.
3 to play.

46 for me but took a -4, with just 1 left to play.
Was expecting a red arrow with the minus and well over a million free hitters but might get a green arrow now.
Could do with rat face blanking tomorrow as he's the most transferred in this week, and possible captain material for many.

I toyed with the idea of getting him to replace Salah. Thankfully, I came to my senses!

He probably will bring in a few points against Leicester, unfortunately.

Hope he misses a penalty and gets sent off in the first five minutes. His backers deserve nothing less.

Crept up to 45 pts, thanks to bonuses for Elanga and Marmoush (3 each), and 1 for Mbuemo.

41 with 3 to play.
Looks like being a low scoring week all round. Probably because salad doesn't play and every one has him as cpt every week.

It's the default setting. You have to, don't you? Like you, I've got 3 to play (Timber, Palmer and Iwobi). Problem with those first two is that it's unlikely that they both can earn decent points, with them playing against each other*. I'm on 45; if I can crawl up to 60, I'd be okay with that.
*Unless Timber chips in with a goal and an assist, and Palmer suddenly remembers where the goal is!

I've got one pt coming off the bench for the missing Palmer.

Looks like I'll end up with 57 pts, when Timber's 3 bonus pts are added on.

57. Average is 40. Is it me or is it getting harder to get a decent score.

That's one of the lowest averages I've seen. Amazing how the absence of Salah can impact scores on the game. If you captain him, he must be good for 15+ points every week. I ended up with 58....
Fuck all benefit from my captain choice, which was a fuck up on my part. Sold Salah, who was my captain. The armband then automatically switched to his replacement (Minteh), which I completely overlooked. Mind you, if I had switched captain, it probably would have been Palmer, who didn't play. And my VC was Iwobi, who scored 3 pts! That back 4; christ!
