Have Rashy , Bruno and Shaw.
I benched Rashy, decent result.

Decision to bench Shaw and captain Gundogan paid off 
Stop being Captain Hindsight people. None of us predicted that United would score, United would win or Shaw of all people would score. Benching him was not a bad call.
Bruno on the other hand! Glad I kept him in my team!

Well I thought starting Shaw might be more logical than Bruno given how many 0-0 we have had in big games. Although you have Bruno for the pens I guess and higher ceiling in general.
Kane with 2 assists and a goal by 52mins...
We all knew he'd smash this week after the minimum scraps on triple captain didn't we! We all knew it, and we still all captained Gundo!

Yep, there's stupid decisions, then there's rational ones.
Bearing in mind Shaw has scored about 2 goals in 10 years, we as a team have scored about 1 goal in the big games this season, City being on a 15 game winning run in the league and barely conceding a goal and most of us having 2 City defenders and another strong defensive choice.... it was hardly a bad call. Just one of those 2-3 times a year of bad luck.
Now captaining Gundo over Kane, now that seems a lot more questionable a call.
I was so close bringing Bale but went Auba. Think I'm doing Salah to Bale.
I also benched Shaw and captained Ederson. Did my part and very happy about it. Kept Bruno though.Decision to bench Shaw and captain Gundogan paid off
Actually I fully thought Shaw had the potential to be involved, although I was expecting it to be an assist. That’s why I had him on! Had a full bench of potential starters as well, having just wildcarded for bench boost before, so it wasn’t a forced hand.
Didn’t think there was much chance of a clean sheet though, so awb resides on the bench with 6.
Of course Kane gets 16 points already the week he isn't even my captain, yet does barely anything last week when he was triple captain. Useless!!
Remember you moaning when I was during his pathetic triple captain showing! I have also captained Gundogan this week!! He'd have about 48 points if he were triple this week
I'm tempted to bin Salah, but can't bring myself to in the hope my having him is jinxing him and I'm enjoying Liverpool struggling too much
Delighted with my decision to take the captaincy off of Kane. Absolutely delighted.
This!! From word to word. Ffs!
Feeling pretty pleased to have captained Kane and stuck with Bruno. Starting to pull away in the mini league I care about.
Benched Shaw but very pleased with Kane
Now watch Gundo getting benched against Southampton.

Classic sod's law mate.
Shows how it's often the smart move to captain in a single week. But I've also been smashed by doing that last year for a Sterling 1 pointer!
At least we have him though.
I was worrying about a guy about 31 points behind me, who'd got a Martinez 7, and had Robertson at home to Fulham and then Lingardinho too. Had visions of my 31 being eaten in those 3 players.
But he doesn't have Kane's 19
Just know it.
Although I think they might bench KDB instead as he's not had one since getting back, and Gundo was benched last game.
Was hoping Son would blank, but a mere 5points in a 4-1 win can't moan too much!
I have this head to head to win money in a cup.
Rival has 13 so far
Martinez (7), Son (5), Cancelo (1), with Dallas and Cancelo to play
I have 1 point from Dias (!) with
Mendy, Raphina, Coufal and hopefully Dias to play again.
What I'd give for one of my boys not to play and unlock Shaw's 15, but zero chance I'd imagine!

Gundo better smash Soton now.
Relief number 1 will be actually being on the starting lineup!!
Argh. Knew I should have captained Kane. I hope Gundo starts v soton, still a good chance to get some points.
Rival captained sterling again - I think I'd be more worried about him being benched next if I had him, he was poor today.

Cheeky Kane capt here, literally captained Dias but it didn't save I'm so lucky
I hope they bench KDB, main league rival has him as captain as he's trying to get some differential vs my lead
I hope they bench these guys for various reasons. Sterling as cap for a major player in my league is very dangerous. So I'd love it if that danger was removed.
Sterling, KDB, Cancelo
Walker is surely due a start, but I fear it'll be Zinko taken out. I expect Stones to be rotated too. Will be gutted if it's Dias due to my tight cup battle with a 4 player differential.
Well I sold Bruno so I could get Kane in .
I am better off, but of course I should have sold Salah with hindsight.
Liverpool are crap right now, but they normally turn it on when you least expect it.

Have Bruno, Shaw, Rashy and captained Kane. The last two games were just brilliant!
Martinez 7 Bruno 10 Shaw 13 Aina 6 on the fecking bench!!
Captain Kane saved my day <3

Bloody Kane. Troll. Pushed me been down to second in my mini league because the guy in third capped him.
Still a great week. 60 with Cresswell, Raphinha, Ward Prowse, Dias, Cancelo and (fingers crossed) captain Gundogan to play.
Edit: Actually I'm still ahead by a single point.

If stones + KDB are rotated I will be very excited even though I own stones
Not looking forward to tomorrow. I‘m probably quite a rare manager with no players playing tomorrow. Somehow just need to avoid the big damage to let my three friendly doublers do the work later on in the week.
New Captain Smugs this week @Dirty Schwein ?
Some even had all the United players and captained Kane....

My ML team mate was struggling this week until his captain Kane turned up.
And if Mount turns up tomorrow, that'll be feckin ridiculous

I still have Salah. Should I get Bale instead
A guy on my league is on 89 points now. He used BB with Shaw, Struijk and Raphinha on his bench and I had a laugh about it. Not laughing anymore.
I still managed to catch up 15 points on the leader, though the second place got close to him now (the 89 point guy). Now I should be about 70-80 points behind both. With 11 games to go and much higher squad value that’s not impossible to catch.

I dun fecked up. Went Gundo didn't I? Still think he'll score if he plays against Soton.
didn't mean that (I captained Gundogan too). Just remembered your previous posts but got my wording wrong. "Humble Brag" not "Captain Smugs"Can someone change the title of this thread to Humble Brag Thread please?
I am moving on from Cancelo for next week, want KDB in. I have to start putting some differentials in as season is running out. Dias, Gundogan and KDB should be good. I don’t care about budget as my team value is £108.0m and there’s not that much to spend it on when Salah is not an option. Even with stacked defense, two goalkeepers, Kane up front I still have £4.4m in the bank
Bale may be a great option. He usually continues his good runs of form for 6-8 weeks before getting injured. This may be the time.
I think Neto and Coady will be good for Wolves nice run between 31 and 34. May do Cresswell to Coady but have no idea which midfielder I could sacrifice for Neto.

Suggestions to move out Salah for?
Ahh of course! There's always those "feck sake, I had Kane Captain, and also had Shaw and Bruno in the team but left Son on the bench... I really need to get better at this game" and my favourite "feck this I'm 95pts after 6 playing, such bullshit"
Always makes me laugh though!
