Just need Madisson to outscore Mitoma 🤠

A good day apart Felix being a disappointment again and Kane not performing like an 11.5m asset again. One of them will be ditched next week for Toney.

As a JWP owner that stings, would have been a huge differential!

Maddison booked

Mr Crispy

Iheanacho very wasteful for Leicester.

Green arrow today. Don't expect it to last all weekend, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts!

Anyone considering getting rid of Haaland for a few weeks? Currently have Haaland Kane Watkins up front. I want to get Toney in who has 5 fixtures in next 3 Gameweeks. Watkins and Kane have 3, Haaland has 2. Or is it madness?

I know the feeling, I remember a few years ago, Aaron Ramsey was tearing up FF, and then he stopped and while others were getting rid, I kept him, just in case he exploded again.

I can't get rid of Haaland, because he could explode again. My main rival captains him every week, which I'm not doing anymore, but his form is definitely gone off the boil.

Pretty bad week this week. Wildcarded, ended up with 35 with Rashford to play.

Have no interest in seeing what my non wildcard team would have scored, but it would have been far higher.

39 on WC with Mitoma on bench and MacAllister at least in team for his 14 points. Just couldn't start both over Arsenal double, Rashford, Kane, Toney and Haaland so nothing I could have done like many others.

Rashford, Mee and Toney to go. Green arrow finally as of now into 600k rank.

COH

20 points from 7 on my wildcard ... yes twenty entire points. Brentford x3 + Rashford to play.

I would be on 29 with Salah/Rashers/Shaw to play if I had made no transfers (assuming Id have captained Haaland).

25 points and counting on my bench. Playing Madisson over Mitoma was a disaster.

Looking at the MOTD highlights and I don't know how March didn't return. He played great. Brighton triple up looking good for those who WC'd.

Mr Crispy

Forest XI: Navas, Aurier, Worrall, Felipe, Lodi, Freuler, Shelvey, Colback, Johnson, Gibbs-White, Wood.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Tarkowski, Godfrey, Iwobi, Onana, Gueye, Doucoure, McNeil, Gray.

I got rid for a few weeks. Fully expect it to backfire, but the game is suddenly exciting again.😅

A mini league with "no Haaland" would have been interesting. The "Permo Capt Haaland" (you couldn't have afforded to risk not to most weeks) has made it a bit dull this year for me.

Mr Crispy

Same. Hopefully he's priced appropriately next season. Or do away with captain altogether.

Pen to Everton, converted by Gray. McNeil with the assist.

Mr Crispy

Forest equalise - Johnson (MGW).

Mr Crispy

Everton retake the lead - Doucouré (Keane).

Mr Crispy

Yellows for McNeil and Gibbs-White.

And now for Gray, Lodi, and Tarkowski.

Feisty affair.

Another zero pointer for Tark....what a legend

There has been some good weeks to back against Haaland recently. The Rashford haul a few GWs ago for example. Even this GW was a good week to back against him, and A couple of the next few GWs will be too . I'm not a believer in the perma-captain myself.

It's easy to say that after the fact though - If Salah gets a double digit score today - would you say that people should have captained him over Arsenal players? Haaland is still one of the few players who can score hatrick for fun, this season there have been 8 hatrick, 5 of them are for city and 4 for Haaland, for as good as Arsenal players they don't have the same level of attacking power even when they click.

Given Salah's record vs Man Utd, and bjg games in general, possibly.

COH

Gakpo (Robertson)

The man everyone sold this week!
