My gamble to choose Grealish as captain brilliantly backfired
Fantasy Premier League 20/21
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Just need a goal from Grealish/Watkins combo for a good start here. Any sign of it?
Same as that...and have Sterling in my team and he's on the bench
I'll be lucky to hit 30 points this week
Is that 0 points for Lamptey and him the best player on the pitch. How unfair
Booyah! I was very conflicted about leaving Lamptey on the bench (which I did) and he gets himself sent off. Yellow for Grealish though, and captain Ziyech did feck all. Chilwell the only positive so far.
-1 no?
Not a great start. This Villa vs Brighton game was pure fantasy nightmare.
With my own error this week to forget to save Bruno as my captain I am not feeling too good.
Only positive is I will still get very happy for all our goals anyway and just having Bruno should help here anyway.

Lamptey is one of those players who could get 3-4 assists a game. So a -1 is bloody cruel.
Misses the Liverpool game now! Those lucky dastards. This is 19/20 luck again with best players of the opposition constantly missing out.
Annoying Watkins was there ready to lash in a 93rd min pen and VARD'd out too! Damm
5 players in now and only Chilwell has done anything.

Everyone in the world appears to have had Lamptey, Chilwell, Watkins and Ziyech. Which makes the poor return a little easier to accept. Also the fact that nobody seems to have March, Welbeck or Abraham.
Martinez, Chilwell, Grealisb, Zyech, Watkins, Werner - 18 points
Sterling on the bench
GW is over before it even began. Hopefully Bruno can do the business but everyone has him now so it’s looking bleak all round. Hopefully we can break our hone duck in the league and build confidence ahead of some trickier games.

I made Grealish as captain and Lamptey is in my team.
I am on grand total of 2 points while my mini league team mates are on 20 already. WTF!!!

Son 
Sweet revenge for so many dumping him out.

Gosh!! If Kane doesn't score today, I will struggle to go beyond 15 pts.
I forgot to sub Son and James Rodriguez out this morning (for Bruno Fernandes and Jota). So far so good!
Son
Sweet revenge for so many dumping him out.
Same. Smacked of "risky" to take him out.
I nearly did it too. No chance doing that now. Son and Kane are staying no matter whatSon

Yeah kept him in too. Like Vardy he’s often more effective against high lines. Especially with Walker covering much of the space Son likes to hit.Son

Will keep Son until whenever I think Salah needs to come in, probably for the Fulham game.
I've no doubt him and Kane will keep scoring but their terrible fixtures will still put a cap on what they can do. Other players are also captainable, which increases their value.

Yeah I caught a bit of the match - he didn't seem to be involved at all and not in his usual right wing position most of the time. Not good.
Ziyech in for Son going well
Just realised that Lampety’s red means I’ll need to swap a defender, unless Saiss or Mitchell win back their place. Was planning on bringing in Sterling or KDB for Son, feels scary not to have a City player with those fixtures.
The way they've played for a lot of this season I wouldn't worry too much.
They're Man City in name only at the moment.
True. Plus my mini league leader has brought in KDB, so it’s a chance to do something different. I still don’t like having Son and Kane through this fixture list, but maybe it’s wise to not make a change for the sake of it.
1 shot on target 1 goal and defend for the rest of the game. Jose things.
If it gets you 3pts, it works.
totally. I’m glad he’s not here anymore though.
All we can do is laugh sadly.Of course, once we transfer out Son and Kane, they score/assist. Well done... damn it.

and pep brings on sterling when the game is lost. It’s a car crash this week. Just Bruno and DCL and a couple of defenders left to play. 19 points. Septic
Kept Son but took a hit to bring in Vardy for Kane. If Kane doesn't do anything else I can live with his assist.
Ooh- I feel your pain.and pep brings on sterling when the game is lost. It’s a car crash this week. Just Bruno and DCL and a couple of defenders left to play. 19 points. Septic
Come on Bruno!
Please save us.Else I'm so going to have a sad day until... hopefully Everton later night-time, last chance.
Kane yellow. FFS
Kane yellow yes!
Anything will do so managers who kept Kane will be less proud damn it, I knew I'll do so bad this GW.

Happy that Son keeps on producing and I did consider to sell him if not for Salah getting Covid.

at least there’s a United game to take the pain away. Hopefully we absolutely smash them
Transferred Son for Fernandes typical.. he better score a dodgy penalty or two now. Also captained Kane and he didn’t score against City so that’s annoying. Grealish (Vc) did nothing either.
What circumstance would you captain Bruno for if not Wbrom at home when Kane has City?
8 points from five players so far.
Sold Son as well.. first mistake in a positive few weeks but very frustrating.
Glad I kept Son and Kane as I knew there's every chance they'll do well assist a dodgy City.
Now I have to decide whether I drop Son for KDB next week...

Kane is the spearhead of Spurs attack, he assists takes the pens and if there is slight consolation of spurs scoring on a losing occasion it’s most likely to be him. And united at home to anyone of late haven’t exactly been great?
