Well, I'm glad that round is over. I was very happy to scrape a 116 (from 9 playing) after massively stuffing up in my trades. I had planned to bring in KDB this round and accidentally brought in Grealish instead who was next to him in my filtered list. Didn't even realise I had stuffed that up until after the first game kicked off. Rubbed in further when Grealish wasn't named. 19 points lost there. 
I had also strongly considered bringing Kane in earlier in the fortnight, but forgot all about him when looking for a cheapish forward replacement with my literal last minute trades. Maybe this week, but I have a bunch of other issues with my team.

Score: 124
Rd Rank: 725
Overall Rank: 106 (from 91)
Very happy with the performance considering Raphinha, Jimenez and Saka did not contribute. Case in point in why I never bother compiling an extended trade plan greater than 1-2 rounds, as I had intended on selecting De Bruyne to replace Luiz and eventually downgrading Jimenez to Kane, with Saka also as a cash grab and an intent to hold for longer given fixtures. This meant I bypassed Hanley as the cash saved by selecting Dallas could help fund the above.
Current trades:
Out: B Saka and D Luiz
In: K De Bruyne and J Maddison
Livramento and Redmond also under consideration, as Ward-Prowse is out of my price range by $800,000.

Thanks mate. Well done on getting to No.1 and thanks for keeping it warm for me.
Yeah, I noticed that. They had a good team too so I was waiting for a good score from them.
Was expecting a horror from Peter Tranter but he did 2 good trades and saved the week.
I was 80 pts off top spot but now only 17. It's gonna be a ding dong battle this season.
I feel I should be more conservative from now on, but maverick got me here so probably need to stay with the same game plan if you're ever gonna win this thing.
