That's 3 weeks in a row ;nonono
I thought it likely, since my opponent had a full price team AND played his wildcard, so had a fully fit and in-form squad.
If you had progressed a few more rounds I would have urged you to abandon the 7.5 restriction and see how far you made it ;lol (as in use your wildcard to get better players in and when you bowed out to make X amount of transfers to revert back with us taking into account what it would cost you to revert and mentally adding those lost points back on at the end of the season. Well you know what I mean, I think ;puzzled )
;lol
;lol
In any case, the last post I made here is full of pitfalls especially in terms of points gained via more expensive players and reverting etc. It was just a momentary thought that it'd be nice for a fellow hammer to go as far as possible in the cup
My own cheap team has been subject to a few bad decisions and a bit of poor fortune recently so I need to get it out of a rut. If I had more players to chose from I'd have played my wildcard already (not just because I enjoy a TF or 2 ;whistle )
The pressure not to be generous/excessive with TFs is enormous. Its totally stunting my normal gung ho style ;wahoo maybe character building ;hmm
I was top in all 4 leagues until recently. Slipped in H2H and cheap to a pathetic 2nd. I'm not sure I can currently deal with the shame of that. I feel like I could do a Spurs and blow 'em all which would be both devastating and hilarious ;weep ;lol and ;wahoo
Not this week for the cup though as I dont want a foreign Man Utd supporter doing me. Already had to sort out Kane situation then try not to TF out Trent AA and waste four points. Now Pogbas other half has just had a baby so he'll probably miss this GW too! Cursing playing my wildcard before the Kane ankle went ;doh
#backtothedrawingboard
Moura has 'Arnie' injury, I mean a knee injury (Lamela probably the beneficiary of Moura and Son being out as he'll play high up I reckon) ;yercoat
Assuming Llorente will get game time now but wonder how rusty he is. At the end of the day its Spurs so you know they'll let you down whoever you pick to play against leaky Fulham ;hmm ;doh
lol
(ie. not lol)
Against 'Average'. ;lol ;weep
Luke Shaw felt ill in the warm up and has been subbed before KO.
Baz, I may follow your example.

See, now you're glad you were cautious!
Theres plenty of room under my duvet ;wink
On the domestic H2H front I have Gina this week who's delighting in catching me up (from being about 9 or 10 pts behind). I've been slapped about recently in the H2H. Some bad choices and some bad luck has seen me have chances to go 6 points clear and now Im 6 points behind! ;weep Last season I made a few TFs purposely in the GW against her ( I figured it was a mini wildcard week and if I lost at least I wouldnt get grief plus I wasnt tht high in the league anyway). This season we're both now challenging... So I am not quite sure what to do.... ;hmm
Arrested on Monday, and he's now "banned indefinitely from all club activities".

For a change, I have the money. It'd be a replacement for Firmino though ;hmm ;puzzled
Although Firmino has scored well in recent weeks, he's not playing in the same advanced role as last season. I like him and I've had him in my team since he came from Germany. He's got vision/skill to get goals and assists (unlike Mane who is so selfish not passing to my fantasy players!) but I am not sure he'll maintain recent points in that role (prior to that he scored poorly for ages).
I have a week to think about it (or alter plans when someone gets injured in the cup or training)
