That's more like it.

18 points from Pukki and Cantwell. Pair of legends!

Dreadful dreadful weekend so far. 30 from 8. Started this season brilliantly but have picked the wrong captain for the last three game weeks and it’s killing my rank. I need a banker for next week. You’d think Sterling or KDB at home to Watford but can’t trust Pep to even play them. Might just give it to Salah every week and forget about it.

eh i dunno

53 with haller Digne cebellos to go. Tell me its above average and I can crawl into the top 4m overall

Doesn't take much scrolling to quickly realise that's well above average.

Three 1 pointers and six 2 pointers. So much fun this game!

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Despite everything that went wrong today the thing that hit me the most was Brighton double cleanie gone in the last minute of the game. Ouch. I’d be sitting on mid 50s now and relaxing..not depending on Anderson and Cebellos tomorrow.

Four 2 pointers, two 1 pointers and a 3 pointer for me.

Salah (c) got me to 31 from 8. Auba, Digne and McGinn to go.

23 another week im looking for everton returns to salvage a mediocre week I should have wildcarded ah well

Any reason you did this? I benched both as I just couldn't see Norwich getting at city. Hindsight in terms of otamendi getting pressed etc but I couldn't see city conceeding 3.

COH

56 from 9... Ake and McGinn to go.

Started the gameweek outside the top 2 million so hopefully stop the rot. Probably wildcard now and try to push on a bit because it feels like have been punished massively for the transfers I havent made so far which is an awful head wreck.

I benched both as well and captained Sterling. Looks like the disaster of a season is gaining momentum.

None to go for me! Back to back shockers feel like I'm due a top 10k gw rank!

Scorpion Sting

44 with Digne and Haller to go. Three captain blanks on the trot which is annoying.

Laporte being out was the main factor. Dont rate Otamendi and Stones as a partnership, especially against an attacking team with a good record at home. Plus Pukki was showing signs of being fixture proof. That said, I still didn't expect them to concede 3.

Ace2007

43 with Ake, Mings, Masuaku and Noble to go - not great not terrible meh

Chesty08

I’ve gotten the Sterling - Salah pick wrong every week! Think I’m done

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

50 with two to play. I had a shocking week but looking around the other scores I have to be happy with that.

Played him myself mainly because I'm threadbare outside of my first 11.

Benimar

GW rank of 5 million :eek:

Knew I had a low score but figured 31 points would be middle of the pack given the number who would have captained a Man City player and the lack of clean sheets.

I’ve been killed in my MLs too, all while after playing my WC. Couldn’t believe how high some of the scores were. Pukkis and Abraham’s everywhere!

Christ, what a disastrous day!

Pete_Cavan

44 with Haller and H Wilson to play, I'd be happy if I break 50. Captain Salah worked out in the end, earlier I was fearing City captains this evening but I got away with it.

Cantona's Collars

53 with Heaton,Ming's and Ceballos to play.
To think that I nearly left Pukki out today.

ElTel

36 from 7
Mount and Salah (c) with the only returns.
I'm -500k in rank to 1.8M.
Saving my FT the only plus atm.

Mr.Nice Guy

45 with only Haller left to play. Poor return on my WC. Happy enough with my team but keep getting marginal calls wrong on team selection and captaincy.

bmcc10

52 with Haller Diop and Digne to go Cantwell in for Kelly too.

560 k down to 1.2ml
This season is going to be a slog

54 with Digne and Anderson to go, plus Cantwell's six points to come off the bench. Don't know what inspired me to start Greenwood ahead of him in the first place, got very lucky.
