Saw Bale get a brace after his cameo and immediately thought of that lucky bastard who blew all their transfers 10 weeks too early.
I thought there'd be so many MIA's, you would have been forced to start him and hope for a 'Hail Mary'.

To go 10 weeks and finish 54th from 88th with no trades is a miracle really especially
when Grealish was out for most of them and Tierney too for some plus the fact Bale was only
a sub a lot of the time.

Score: 121
Rd Rank: 631
Overall Rank: 13 (from 10)
Unfortunately fielded Digne and Azpilicueta who recorded a combined -7 but luckily received the 26 from De Bruyne thanks to Fernandes missing, as I fell asleep before team sheets were announced. Thoroughly enjoyed my 2nd attempt at EPL and congratulations to all those who recorded career bests/high finishes, especially @PressurePoint , @vsberlina and @Goodie's Guns. Looking forward to going around again next season.

Yeah, always start a benched attacker (if you're confident they'll see time) instead of a DEF from a mediocre team (you should never have owned Dunk in the first place) with a tough game. Given DEF lose 2 pts for every goal after the first one, they can score minus. At best, they might get a CS, but the attacker can come on for 5 minutes and get a goal (or two) or an assist, which are the same as a CS. This game is all about risk reward, but we sometimes forget and try the Steve Bradbury game plan.
140 final week score thanks to generous contributions from Ederson and KDB.
Was tempted to capt KDB but felt he'd get subbed at HT.
Salah going for the Golden Boot along with Kane were the more obvious choices, with Salah the better fixture.
Finished 5th overall in the end. After being 1,579th after 4 GWs, I never thought I'd make the top 100, least the top 10.
I guess happy in the end, but I did get to 3rd by GW31 and was only 36pts from the top.
Maybe if City had been knocked out of the Champions League, things would have been different, but it's those side comps that make this game more interesting, as it creates rotation and differentials.
Congrats to Andrew (The New Originals) with a massive last GW score to easily clinch the title after being a whopping 38 pts behind going into the last week. I think I might have another go trying to convince him to join our league next season.
My beloved Starting 11 groups took out top 2 League spots again.
I think that run will definitely come to an end next season when the combined new S11 / SCS League sets a benchmark never before seen.
Gonna be tough next season, given we'll all have 5 Pool DEF at the start.

In this game though, given we have the option of a 3-5-2 formation, you need to look at averages for DEF, not totals.
The reality is, you wouldn't be starting him every week based on average, and picking their good week is too hit and miss.
Given we can have a strong bench, it's not a problem if a player goes MIA.
An Alonso / Chilwell combo would be better than a Dunk, if you were around for team news and could swap to the starter.
If one got injured, it wouldn't matter as the other would then become the sure starter, so no need to waste a transfer.
