I have the VC on Moura, no real options to take it I think. 15 ok but not a 30+ that would make me reshape mybsidw.

44/4+C (Eriksen)

Really should’ve started with a donut. Also running 4-4-2 has cost me a few pts which I hope I’ll naje covering unexpected donuts.

Tottenham not keeping a cleansheet a killer for me. Traded Doherty (who scored an own goal) to Toby Alderwield.
Eriksen will be traded next week to avoid the price drop. Was worried Pedro wouldn't start, but was too tired to wake up and check final teams for that game, so absolutely stoked to see him on the scoresheet again.

Pedro - Was close to starting him but went BSilva instead, both are not nailed on for a starting berth though the latter is firming with the KDB injury.

Hmm so Pedro is not nailed on? Are you thinking he gives up his spot for Hazard?

I think Pedro or Willian are prone to losing their starting spot once Hazard is fit to start.

Unless Sarri chooses to play Hazard as a false 9 instead of Morata, though he looked much better this GW and also scored. Conte employed this formation regularly towards the end of last season out of necessity, but they also have Giroud in their squad so I think they will go with either Morata/Giroud up front with Hazard playing behind.

This could be a problem. They play at 12:30 next week which is after my bed time lol

If he doesn't start, i could also swap him to Hazard assuming he starts in his place.

:unsure:o_O:ROFLMAO:

With a 19 and 17 in his rolling average, at least try and make some cash before moving him on!

Haha sad but true. Unfortunately Mason still gets up through the night and on the really special mornings, gets up well before 7 so i try to get in bed as early as i can.

Come to think of it, I could always move Pedro to the bench if needed as i also have Moura who plays after him sitting at M5.

Aguero stars, Sane a sub again! Might flick him for Pogba
Yay...captain Aguero it is then.

I just get a sense that owning too many Man City players is going to be headache this season with how strong their squad is...just look at the names on their bench!:eek:

Geez, and I thought aside from Ederson that Walker was at least the one you could bank on to start each week lol.

I guess they got the likes of Walker and Sterling up for the Arsenal fixture in week 1, and will now try to ease them into the season after not much of a break after the WC.

149 helped me jump 1622 places into 784. Not exceptional rank, but would take a rank change like that most weeks :).

I will trade out Mina (not sure why he’s still in my side) for Cook or Periera (Leicester) and then Periera (United) to Milner.

Milner in penalties seems a nice touch, plus he should play plenty too.

182 last week :) , 61 this week :-(

how quickly it changes
That must be really frustrating after such a great start! I just saw we are up against each other this weekend Herbie66.

My first two scores have been consistently middling - 119 & 121

Looks like you win a tight one based on averages or either of us win in a landslide based on weekly form!
