    I think I might have to save my transfer for tomorrow night in case Pulisic is given a rest. There is no way I'm going into that match without a captain.

    It's the only match on so at least we have till it starts to work out who is best to put in. I have to take out a striker out of Mane, Auba and Jimenez to put in Pulisic or Willian and play 3-5-2. Or Giroud for that matter! Not sure I would punt if he rested those 3 for some reason.

    I reckon Pulisic could do damage from the bench tomorrow if he is tested so gonna go ahead with my Greenwood transfer.

    At least you only have captains to worry about. Any tough captain choices?

    Most are pretty straight forward. Wonder how many games the top 10 players have covered.

    Dropped down to 4100 after last night. Still up over 2000 places on the matchweek overall. Last transfer to be used tonight.

    Probably Pulisic. I have to work out which striker to take out for him. Mane, Auba, Jimenez. Probably Mane because he isn't doing much and the others have stuff to play for.

    So Pulisic or Willian for Mane, Jimenez or Auba. I want to keep Auba for cover next Tuesday just in case KDB doesn't play. Swaying towards Jimenez going now for Pulisic. Jimenez in more top 1k teams than Mane.

    Ended up putting in Willian for Jimenez.

    7. Beat Willian I suppose. Motm would be nice I'd say him or Giroud gets it

    Ah yes I forgot he played earlier in the week. I'm captaining Foden tomorrow if De Bruyne is benched I think. Not many other options anyway.

    Yeah I have the same 2. We get the lineups at least. If Mahrez starts I think I'll bring him in for Pulisic use my last transfer

    I had Son Jimi and Greenwood before tonight. Did Jimi to Pulisic, at least he got an assist. Just realised I need Son for captaincy one of the days so might just move Pulisic on again straight away.

    Will be taking out azpi for a city player. Will wait till 6 am to decide. Also a good 6 players in top 10 had nobody playing tonight.

    Be getting no work done at work till next week.

    Took a screenshot of me in first overall. Be one to tell the kids in the future

    Congrats, I think you're gonna win it.
    Pro tip - wait until 6pm not 6am next time :-)

    The great thing about this game is that if you are a good layer and plan right you get rewarded. What I like too is that you get to see the lineups before the match.
    Nice that the City match is the early one today.

    I already have 2 city players. Need to be less then 10.4 but I might bring in richy as don’t like pep rotation. City playing at 6 is great as I can make my transfer and see who is playing.

    Literally couldn’t sleepy last night. Actually won’t be sleeping much next Sunday.

    I'd expect City to play Gundogan, both Silvas, Sterling, Jesus and Foden but it's nice when you can wait. I presume Donegal can't afford Sterling, he'd be my first choice, then Jesus.

    After that ithink Foden will start this week and next but not the last game. David Silva should start tonight and against Norwich so he could score well.

    David Silva is 10.8 and bsliva is 10.9 most will be priced out for these players.

    Both are owned by 0% of top 1000.

    It's gotta be David out of those 2. They will be all out helping him to score in him his farewell match against Norwich.

    That's a pity yeah I'd likewise love to be able to get Dilva but I can't. But maybe in your position a higher owned player is the better bet. I really want to get in Mahrez today but I think he starts on the bench.

    Richarlison is a good pick too. You'd expect him to get 1 or 2 goals in those games.

    On paper Everton have some easy fixtures however they haven't been playing great and they're against teams fighting to avoid the drop and who have found some form. Have you thought about maybe just keeping that last transfer in your pocket? In case of a surprise injury? Or maybe just wait til final matchday and then get in an extra City player once we see their lineup v Norwich?
