Owe @Old Big 'Ead a beer... for now.
Gutted Tavernier couldn't be my differential, but JWP's 9 is welcome... for now.

Looks like #1 made a schoolboy error, and had Bruno starting when he was suspended, and no bench to cover him.
Could have taken Konate's 11. I was expecting to catch him by 6, given Onana's great score, but that became 17.

Into 3rd and just 17 behind top. Don't like my team, that resembles the misfits of the Dirty Dozen, but 40/40 league wins tells me that if it ain't broke, leave it. Just 9 trades to go, so I'll keep riding my luck until transfers become a severe necessity.
Onana and VVD the differentials that keep giving and giving.

In early January when Son and Salah go to Asia CON and AFCON?
Depends on depth, I guess.

Playing DEF lately has actually been the reason for my success.
Porro (14), TAA (17) and VVD (15) all bringing home the goods.
Chuck in Onana (18), and who needs strikers?

5 yellows also also goes up to 10, so hopefully no suspensions.

Still not sure on my FPL score, it could be anywhere from 26 to 58, depending on what they do with the abandoned match, and if they do end up adding my bench players for donuts on field as they should (3 donuts and Solanke on field, 26 pts on the bench to cover the 3 DNP's which haven't been added yet). Currently 32, but expecting it will probably be 53, with my final bench spot (1 pt) replacing Solanke (6).

Bournemouth v Luton points now voided in FPL
Just saw that.. Ended up 66 and up moved up further to 7,970 overall after the Lascelles auto sub came on. Those extra 4 Solanke points would have been handy.

The Haaland update is interesting.. makes it hard to sit on 7.1 in the bank this week if this injury lingers and he doesnt pplay over this busy xmas scehdule.

There's no 3rd FOR to get though, or spend the money elsewhere. Other than TAA, I have everyone else I want in MID and DEF too. Options are the issue, not money.

Yeah I’m holding fire for now. Don’t have TAA but not dipping in this week against ARS. Will bank the trade for 2 next GW

When Salah and Son go, we'll have 15 units in the bank. :LOL:

Definitely a hold this week. I like my 11 starters, so no point going TAA. Benching Tsimikas anyway.
