Fantasy Gods - How much luck do you want in EPL DT, on a scale of 1-100%?
Me - Yes!

Allison out one more week so Kelleher starts. - Check
Save transfer for GK. - Check
Havertz MIA so save another transfer. - Check
Don't trust Casemiro so change formation. - Check
Saka 20 pts. - Check
Troll Maddison owners by making him score a brace, @ City, after he wasn't starting. - Check
TAA MIA so auto sub in Porro's 26 pts without the need for a transfer. - Check
Troll good mate 'The Surgeon', by making Bogarde do a cameo for 1 pt, instead of Porro's 26, after Bogarde never appeared since GW4. - Check
Kelleher PKS. - Check
Captain Mo brace. - Check

I'm not leaving the house this week. There's definitely a runaway bus out there, with my name on it.
Far out. Apart from Casemiro making BE, I doubt I could have wished for too much more. That's crazy luck.

Capt Salah 161. Another green arrow on the way. Will need to run the Gauntlet without Saka for a few more weeks with Cunho on fire.

But will check ownership for top ten coaches.

FPL 79 moved inside the top 20K.

A scoreless draw in the last fixture of the week.

I'm tempted to dump Haaland for Cunha, and have him with Salah and Saka.
But Haaland and Foden are still creating plenty of chances, so the fear they'll go huge is real.
Hopefully they blank next week vs Pool, but then I can see them coming good.

Cunha is a beast though. No brainer to sell Haaland for him in FPL, and get Palmer with the change.
Still an awesome run to come, and if I had to take a risk in DT, I probably wouldn't hesitate.

A scoreless draw in the last fixture of the week.

Bowen brace is preferable, for 28 pts, and 162 pts for the GW.

No roundup this GW as I'm on holidays with my family, will resume for GW13.

 

[vsberlina]

I'm a Bunnings person, but occasionally, I don't mind going to Bowen... for a nice 17 pts.

Was hoping for a quiet game, comes in next week. The hammers have a good run of fixture through December. Will be difficult against Arsenal but will still need to field him.

At least the Isak bullet was dodged.

Apart from the last game at home, Bowen has had good hunting vs ARS.
He's good on the counter when opposition have more possession.

I don't mind holding him through that game.
Given Pool play City, will likely start him as well.

 

[vsberlina]

Lobby open. That was quick.

153 pts. Ranked in the top 1% of scores for the week. Didn't move up in the ranks. This is one tough game.

 

[Dazza]

123 pts
5 overall

Hopefully my last trades for a while starting to run low

Havertz and Hall out
Maddison and Gabriel in

 

[T43597]

114. Down 7 to 21st

Mbeumo & Foden > Saka & Mitoma

Im conflicted with regards to Foden but Brighton have a really good stretch coming up so id like to take advantage of that if possible. If i make these moves, i will make sure i have several weeks in a row where i dont trade unless a long term injury occurs.

 

[Kennedy]

Up to 3rd spot which is grouse. TAA not playing at all helped me looped Porro's 26 which was a god send
Casemiro has to go. Either going to be for Maddison with a low BE or possibly KDB if they actually start him again

Now Mick, I'm not saying you're copying me, but... stop copying me.

If you're looking for a differential, Cunha instead of Saka could be a fair punt.

Mitoma definitely better than Foden for this week, but dunno if BRI can do a similar run to what they did last season.
They were punching well above their weight when they were scoring plenty of goals.
Maybe with Pedro back, he can get some assists, but it's not something that catches my eye.
4th & 5th MID is tough. Maddison, KDB, Havertz. None firing consistently right now. When in doubt, go without. I'd hold Foden for now.
