Should have captained Haaland instead of Watkins
Onana saving my bacon. My league leader keeps managing to get equal points with me or even a few better and he's not touched his team since GW6 with a Luton defender who's injured, so Cash gets to play 
I'm just pissed off I took Kyle Walker out.
Considering Son to Salah
He’s in red hot form and feels like will outscore Son

feck
Selling Haaland has worked out great for me.
Was going to drop Foden for Maddison. Otherwise, Bruno for Son.
Maybe do both.

Ugh feck this game. I should have listened to those recommending Halaand for the captaincy against United. Poxy Salah.
Haaland sellers don't panic. He's got *checks fixtures* Bournemouth at home next week.
Haaland is always the captain. Can't believe people have actually sold him.
Told you it ain't worth it.
I'll sell my kids before I sell Haaland
Glad Alvarez didn’t score
Glad I ditched that Haaland less draft.
Should have captained him but Salah has been the man recently. Obvs when not in my squad.

Would have been better if I didn’t bench Ederson. What was I thinking.
The hipster non Haaland party didn't last very long.
Last week
Haaland (c) - 1 goal
Salah (bv) - 2 goals and 3 BPs
This week
Haaland (vc) - 2 goals + 1 assist + 3 BPs
Salah (c) - 1 goal
feck off.

81 points. Would've been 89 if I didn't do Walker > Gabriel. Meh.
Imagine thinking dropping Haaland was a good idea, FML.
80 points, feels disappointing.
3 wrong captain picks in a row after switching to Salah this weekend. Late goals conceded by Van de Ven and Digne after errors by teammates denying clean sheets. Can't buy a CS from a goalie, and Watkins blanking at home to Luton.

Pfff…my first non Haaland captaincy of the season….Watkins. Huge red arrow
Nketiah, Wissa, Hwang, Gordon, Doucoure (Everton), Stones, Walker, Saliba, Schar, Zinchenko, Andersen, Burn, Pinnock, Disasi or Guehi?
Got to replace Neto, can do it directly or switch formation.

If your goal is to get Salah in then just do the -4 and be done with it. The one that keeps Son that is.
I've already done Udogie > Tsimikas. Saka in next week for Maddison I think.
You sure you want to take points hits when you've got a decent team there and Haaland nailed on for cap?
How worried are you that Salah absolutely Rufus Brevits Lu-on?
Thanks lads. Salah is battering my rank and I need him long term. Option 1 seems best option and I'll probably go there. Then in a few weeks get rid of Ederson and then upgrade branthwaite to someone better.
My first since he joined the PL, except for when he's been injured.
Still got 84 but getting the wrong side of the Salah/Haaland captain pick three weeks in a row feels so frustrating.
82 all out, nice green arrow, but another week where my vice captain does more damage (3weeks in a row ffs, I’d be just shy of 100k otherwise as I’m only 20ish points off it)
making a quick change already and moving out the injured Neto to Hee Chan for the Sheffield match
Making the transfer now allows me to:
GW12 - Maddison to Saka (Arsenal have better run)
GW13 - Diaby to Bowen (West Ham have better run)
Current GW11 team - 1.6 in the bank (above changes would see me down to 0.1 without further price changes)
Areola
Tsimikas, Cash, Taylor
Son, Maddison, Salah, Hee Chan, Diaby
Haaland (c), Watkins
subs: Turner, Burn, Gabriel, Archer
Burn or Gabriel could come in for Taylor yet - will see as week goes on. Newcastle look tired and Gabriel was hopefully just rested
no other real concerns. Will take GW14+ as it comes

Is it worth it? And whom should Diaby be changed to?
Edit: On second thought, any better options than Trippier to Burn?

Didn't think I had too good a week but green arrows everywhere. Really pleased with how it's going even though I find a way to moan about my team.
That's given me perspective. It's my first season playing and I've heard people talk about certain ranks being good. I didn't know how good, and the percentile figure makes things much clearer.
Might be as good as it ever gets for me if I play for a few years so time to be happy.

Gonna be a big decision between Salah or Haaland captaincy this week.
What do we think about Bowen and West Ham? Was going to try and get him in soon but looking at their fixtures I think it's another one of those situations where the FDR colour scheme misrepresents the actual fixtures...
Brentford (A)
Forest (H)
Burnley (A)
Palace (H)
Spurs (A)
Fulham (A)
Wolves (H)
I can't get him in until the Burnley fixture as Saka is the priority for GW12 (when they play Forest) and whilst that might look juicy the ones after don't scream goals to me. Would also need a hit to get him in so I might look elsewhere.

Going with the home player. Bus team...

Gordon Maddison Son Salah (vc) Diaby
Haaland (c) Alvarez
Leno, Archer, Gabriel, Kabore
I'm bottom of my mini league and as a point of principle have decided it's a hill I'm going to die on this year. He's not coming back in for the rest of the season. Yep, I'm going to crash and burn HARD but I was giving it such a biggun the other week to my friends about how it's the smart call that I can't backtrack now.
I still don't think it's a terrible shout. I crashed this week with no Haaland but I don't think he's getting 15 points every week & the idea being you have enough quality with other players to make up for the points you're missing out on without him. Trippier, Watkins, Bowen etc all returning nothing this week despite easy fixtures
On the other hand he could return to his last season form and bang 2/3 in every week in which case yes we're fecked.
SOLIDARITY! If we're going down, we're going down together brother
