Yeah around 300k people captained him as well.

It seems I broke Lewis Hall again.
Hall's highest xG of the season, second highest xA. He had a stormer!
Think we were all really on him hoping to pick up a cheap cleanie but let's not talk about that.

I have used up my free transfers and took a hit now to end up with
Flekken (Val)
Mazraoui Estupinan Ait-Nouri (Faes Kerkez)
Palmer Bruno Mbeumo Mitoma Amad
Haaland Pedro (Watkins)
I have £1.9m in the bank which I will use to upgrade Mbeumo after he’s played Leicester.
You still didn’t bring in Salah or Saka after taking a hit?
Nope. Intend to bring Salah in 3-4 weeks but for now him blanking and Haaland going crazy is just about the only hope I have of catching up. I really want to avoid just copying everyone’s team as that is kind of pointless when I am chasing 100-120 points in every mini league, and boring too.
No one in my mini leagues above me has Haaland or Palmer, and only one guy has Bruno, hence wanted to go with all three of them for now.
Brave man!
So I've persisted with the 15m man who is actually 30 points behind the 13m. Time to make a change.
Striker ideas: Cunha, but surely this run is unsustainable?
Alternatively, Nicolas Jackson?
I already have Pedro. Please halp.

Bruno, Son or Palmer captain this weekend? After having a terrible season so far, I need someone else to make this decision so I can blame them instead of myself.
Haha, this is where I'm at. I no longer trust any instinct I have about any aspect of FPL.
Not Son as he's been a bit rubbish. I won't be considering captaining Bruno as he spent the last 30 minutes playing deep against Ipswich, but you never know. Maybe Palmer? Although he basically is either gonna score 2 points or 20. Any other candidates?
My question: who to swap Haaland for? Everything points to Cunha, except his 7 goals have come from 3.1xG, whereas Jackson's 7 are from 6.4xG, which looks way more sustainable. I had been considering Isak, but his team put me off last night.
Hmm... maybe this answers my question from above. Leaning towards Jackson now. Although Isak does have a very long run of favourable fixtures.
No more favourable than the other two. In fact I'd say Cunha and Jackson have easier fixtures and have the benefit of form.
Don't bring Joao Pedro in guys 
Taking a hit to get him. Surely, he is gonna be shit in coming weeks.Don't bring Joao Pedro in guys
Thanks. I think I've just made my decision.
Feck me. I was going to bring him in cause he rotates well with Mbuemo. I ll hold off for 2 weeks.Don't bring Joao Pedro in guys
Cunha for me. Jackson has great fixtures BUT he is on 4 yellows. Make sure you have a backup for a week in case he gets suspended.
I will swim against the storm and plan to keep Haaland.
Also have Salah, Palmer, Bruno (who will probably become Odegaard in a few weeks).
Team as it stands for GW13:
Raya
AitNouri Maz Robinson
Salah Amad Bruno Palmer (C)
Joao Pedro Haaland Wissa
Bench: Rogers, Lewis, Greavs

I've gone with Cunha, but will probably swap Wood for Jackson next week if he doesn't get suspended for Southampton.
50/50 on moving Haaland. I know I'll want him back pretty soon so don't think it's worth it. KDB back will make a difference as well. That said I won't captain him this week either so could bin him for one week and bring him back for Wood.
Probably the more sensible move though is holding and moving on both Wood and Mbeumo for Pedro/Delap/Welbeck and Bowen the week after. Annoyingly I'm the classic £0.1m short on Cunha. A Wood haul against Ipswich and a price rise would be helpful.

Yeah I already took him out. My plans go tits up if Saka gets injured today though.
Are we all binning Haaland this week then? For Jao Pedro right? I've got the memo.
Yeah i can get back to Haaland in two moves so it’s not too bad. Im not captaining him for the next few weeks so as long as i have a suitable replacement for captain, which I do in Saka, Palmer and Salah, the hope is I wont fall too far behind.
Go on Gabriel and Haaland! You cnuts.
Now he fecking found his scoring boots, useless cnut
Can only hope this means they will show up and beat Liverpool and Haaland scores a few.
Not sure how much to read into it cause he scored a few in this latest international break too didn’t he?
He could easily have scored two vs Spurs as well.
I think he will soon enough start scoring regularly in the PL again. Therefore I poker to continue with him.
But can understand everyone who opts to spread the funds around.
Big goal for Wycombe? @Sandikan
Haaland is down to 56% ownership and it’s looking like he is going to go down in price again - twice in 3 days.
Feck. Looks like Gabriel injured his hammy yesterday.
Please stay away for the love of all that is holyDon't bring Joao Pedro in guys
Why!Don't bring Joao Pedro in guys
Looking very nice so far.
Although annoyingly i had to watch from a laptop as m42 was damn slow trying to get back from Nottingham
Shit is this confirmed?
This was right after the game but he was subbed cause of it:
on Gabriel’s fitness:
We don’t know because he said he was feeling some discomfort. I was about to make the change of [Raheem Sterling] but I couldn’t make the sub and we had to make other ones.
My front 8 is as follows.
Bruno - Saka - Salah - Palmer - Mbeumo
Cunha - Pedro - Jackson
Question is, who do i bench and who do i make captain ?
My transfer this week is a boring Martinez to Verbruggen to gain 0.5 for future defensive upgrades.

Binning haaland upgrade Mbuemo to saka? I have salah & palmer already
Captaincy is a bit tricky this week, who is everyone going for?
It's between Salah and Palmer for me - can't decide.
