as we won today, the pain of poor captaincy picking is much lessened. looking forward to going to bed for a couple of hours and then watching both derbies ;wahoo
Baz I see you captained Hazard. Either you were taking a hit for the team. Or his low score was karma!
As per my comment yesterday pasted below...
I resisted captaining any of my Man City players last week but couldnt see a better option than Hazard this week. It'll most likely be the only time I'm happy with a 2pt haul from my fantasy captain. First time I've been smiley in a long while because of the Hammers!!
;hmm I had Ramsey in my FF to, looks like Tarkowski of Burnley will step in then (assuming he plays) !
Also no Morata ! might just take the hit for these weekday games than transfer out people then see come Friday if any of them will be back for Saturday.
But it is also a cup week ;hmm and lots of squad rotation I imagine.
tarkowski got me 6 points. need Stephens to play for Brighton just to cover my two injuries with Morata and Ramsey and hope everyone else plays since Quaner didnt make the pitch
Rotations and injuries continue to wreak havoc with my squad. I made 2 early transfers, then had to decide whether or not to spend points to do one or two last-minute ones t cover injuries.
In the end, I figured everybody was likely to suffer, so I wouldn't fall too far behind if I just stuck with what I'd got. ;pray
Yeah had a similar issue with Lowton thought he was going to only be out for 2 weeks max, so just did like for like and swapped him out for Tarokwski of Burnley still the same 6 points from their resolute defence.
Think I might shift out Morata for Jesus for the time being (assuming Aguero starts tonight, I reckon Jesus will start Saturday) and stick with Ramsey and hope my subs buy me some time to use just free transfers.
or
Shift out Morata bring in a less prolific striker (maybe take a stab at someone like Vardy to find some form) and bring in an additional better midfielder than Ramsey like Mane.
;hmm
or
Shift out Morata and Ramsey bring in someone like Richarlison from Watford who is slightly cheaper than Ramsey which will allow me to bring in someone like Lacazette or Ibra in.

Wait a minute! I never had Ramsey and I Bazfer'd Morata out before todays game. So I suddenly care a lot less for his back ;lol

and I think you missed the 'thank you for looking' part of your post.
Draft: 2 players not starting, one of my reserves also benched ;doh
Budget Team: 1 player benched, and 2 of my own bench out. ;doh
Remind me why we love Christmas football.....
