Last 2 consecutive seasons have seen me finish top 10k both times so that was obviously my minimum target again.

Currently sitting at 2.5 million so I've already readjusted my season target. Now playing for top 100k.

Expectations can change so fúcking quickly but I'm gonna sit tight with my team and not wildcard.

Next 2 weeks will see a big turnaround or weeks of research and preparation making me look very silly.

After two weeks? Seriously? Season has barely even started! You can maybe give up after gw22 but not after gw2 that's ridiculous.

spock.

You can still finish top 1k, let alone top 10k.
Two weeks is nothing over the course of the season.

5 out of the top 6 in the world have Rooney in their team.

Discuss.

What's ridiculous ? I never once mentioned anything about giving up. Quite the opposite.

Maybe but I'm just pointing out that I've to now stick or twist and I've decided to stick.

Tough games coming up for him. Don't think will have been worth it after the next 3/4 games will have been played.

Going to give KDB 2 more games then I'll have to consider someone else, 10 mil is a lot tied up in him considering what he could be replaced with.

I think once Europe comes into play things could change quite a bit. Don't see Rooney playing all the time for example, City could be a fair bit of rotation, as will Liverpool, Spurs & Chelsea. People panicking at the moment need to give it a a few more weeks before pressing the implode button!

You're probably at most 50 points off top 10k

Will it be reviewed automatically?

I have something in my head about them mentioning reviewing major incidents, i.e. ones leading to red cards or penalties, but I may have imagined that. Can't find anything conclusive online

Yeah that's correct
Don't think this will be the case here though as there was actually minimal contact
Although to me Kun sticks his left foot out to be tripped .......

Ditto, Eriksen seems the best replacement and will inevitably rise. Kicking myself for not having him in for GW1 but wanted City coverage.

Only thing is that he I imagine he will come good at some stage and is explosive. He's too good not to.

So what about City everybody ?

KDB went very deep last night and Jesus got hooked so both look like they will drop in price quite soon.

I know KDB still managed a huge score last season despite playing deeper but I'd hoped he would be higher up this season. I really didn't see Pep playing 2 up front.

None look safe from rotation (except KDB) and I can't get a handle on them at all.

Feels like it would be madness to have no cover but 20.5 is a lot to have tied up in a big bag of doubt.

They just don't look very cohesive at all but I think I'd fear not having at least one of their attackers.

Aguero or nobody for City attackers I think. And boy does it feel good to say that..

Pep prefers Jesus me hole...

Almost 77,000 have got rid of Harry Kane this week and number is continuing to grow.

Besides being a proven goal machine for 3 seasons, he has had 14 shots in last two matches and is home to Burnley this weekend - madness.

Fúck me that stat is fairly damning. Will sell him after this GW so.

He does still have set pieces obviously, and he will get points. It's not him it's Pep. In the current formation and pattern of play he's nowhere near worth 10m

Don't speak too fast. Even Pep sometimes doesn't know what Pep's thinking about :pac:...

True and I am keeping him for the moment.

But he's the most expensive player in the game and I can understand people favouring a Spurs mid to him to strentghen their team elsewhere. If you put it into perspective Kane + £5.5m mid = Alli/Eriksen + Vardy. Nor sure the first combo is better .

Now reshuffling one's team with hits including Kane out this week is another story.

But if he blanks vs Burnley he's out 'cause he'll become a threat to the overall balance and flexibility of my team.

Only 18 points between them in the end of last season in Eriksens favour, Ericksen does seems more consistant

I assume they put him in on the basis that Everton won't go 7 games without scoring, so if they score it will be him. So at 7.0M he was an ok option.

As an Everton fan I didn't place him in.

In relation to reading that Ferdainho has more touches in the box than KDB, does that include headers? I'm assuming so.

Coutinho staying. Lessens the appeal of the likes of Salah even further.

It furthers his appeal in my eyes. They seemed completely on the same wavelength when played in pre season. the others taking that bit longer to spot Salah
Gini will get the chop
