I get your drift, and every risk you take now is highly important, it's a make or mar decision, so where is the fun or catching up if you taking the same steps as your opponents, If I were in your position too, I'd definitely be taking risky decisions with players with little ownership, because every single you get from them will be well worth it, I on the other I'm playing it conservatively for now, as the marathon it's is rather than the sprint of each GW.

The current game week ends today, with Chelsea locking horns with Fulham tonight, It would have made all the sense in the world If Mitrovic would have played, but I'm entirely dependent on Mount and Andreas to cough out 14 points for today which is not realistic afaik, but stranger things have happened.

It was an intense game between Valencia and Real Madrid and hopefully we'll get an equally or even more interesting game between Barcelona and Betis, for what it's worth, I literally would have preferred Valencia going through because it would have meant a less tougher opponent should Barcelona win their tie as well. I really don't if Lewandowski's ban would be carried over to the super cup, but if that's the case it might be just another fixture for Barcelona to struggle with, I'll regardless have my bet on Barcelona to win at 90 minutes.

Warriors were absolutely nonchalant with their performance, I see no reason for them not to have won the game as well, but I think they got overly narcissistic with them self and Kerr shouldn't have just introduced Curry and Wiggins back in to the line up just like that, after a month of absence, there were a lot of miscommunication within the team last night, and Warriors eventually lost the game in the final moments when they allowed Suns keep getting 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th chances, I had no idea  why he kept Kevon looney out for majority of the final minutes when they needed some that could cleared after the series of first chance stops they were able to make.



I'm taking the Milwaukee Bucks -4.5 @ 1.93 in this case, I think it should be an easy one for them despite not being at their best form lately

I totally understand what Trofo is driving at, and I would agree with I also believe that Foden will start both of those matches, but how many minutes he'll get from both fixtures is what I can not guess. I also think Cancelo will get decent minutes from both fixtures too, but I'm rather tired of waiting which is the same impression I have of Nunez, the only difference that at least both Cancelo and Foden can be justified for not having decent playing chance, unlike Darwin Nunez.

The only thing that's got me surprised is the fact that Guardiola decided to start Foden, Cancelo and Gundogan tonight, does that mean they're are now the second reserve team or substitute if that's the right word.

I'm glad to be finally rid of Darwin Nunez, but then there you are again going against all known odds, which you usually have in your favor sometimes, I still have Mason Mount while I'm also waiting for the final cup fixtures before making decisions, because If all my players are very fit and available going into the weekend, I could cancel my initial points hit strategy

.

I didn't have Man Utd DGW in mind before having Rashford and Martial, and I believe two teams with DGW before the next 3 weeks haven't been predetermined, Man Utd DWG wasn't in place before IIRC, so I believe the DGW was determined by some of the results of the cup fixtures.

If I had used my Bench boost in either of this game week or the previous, It would have felt justified imo because I had decent bench in previous week and this game week I have 24 points lurking on the bench, could it have gotten actually better than this ? but that said, I might be taking a huge points hit, for reasons that my team change between one defender, a forward and perhaps a midfield and that's at least a -8 points hit, hopefully I'd be able to cover the deferential.

For the record, I don't think Haaland will miss any of the two games, especially since he got rested for the cup games, and City having dropped points to Arsenal's advantage literally means Haaland getting as many minutes as possible, I reckon Alvarez also getting some minutes in either of the games, but it won't be at the expense of Haaland, besides Haaland, De Bruyne, Ederson and Rodri (worse FPL decision) I don't think I can guarantee any other Man City player starting both games.

I'm currently in fourth position, because I had a terrible week, I score just 6 points, If only I had done better, I might have move up a bit better, but I slowly losing my knowledge of the league, maybe it's high time I start watch their matches again because asides Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, I really don't watch any other matches from the league with occasional exception if we have fixtures like Athletic Bilbao playing teams like Sevilla or Villarreal.

I know 4th position might not be so bad, but If I don't keep up the pace, I'll surely drop only further down the pecking order.

Yes, it seem so but I think Mount would play against Fulham since he was available for the FA Cup game against Man City, If I get eliminated I'm still going to blame it all on Mitrovic for that silly yellow that have suspended for the game against Chelsea, him starting in the second game alone would have been a huge plus for me, because I'd have another 6 points extra if he gets to start vs Chelsea, and that'd have won the tie for me.

Before the final game between Bologna and Atalanta, I was at the 4th position, If you've not mentioned me I wouldn't have noticed to be honest, It's really going to probably be a race until the final week.


I wouldn't be surprised if Juventus manages to win the game, Juventus are also the least scoring team of the top 6 team in the league, so I can't see beyond 1-Nil or 0-0 score line from that fixture.

I'm also quite confident of betting on the Milwaukee Bucks ML tonight, Middleton continues his spell on the sidelines, but Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez and Giannis are good enough to enforce a win for the Bucks, RJ Barrett being ruled of the game is another form of advantage for Milwaukee Bucks.

Another bet I kind of fancy is on the New Orleans Pelicans ML vs Washington Wizards, Pelicans have lost 4 of their last 5 games, but before then they had won all their previous five, Zion Williamson have been a major felt absentee for Pelicans, but CJ McCollum have been stepping up pretty well and I anticipate the same energy from him tonight, because I also have a props of Over 25.5 points from him.

I had my pick on Barcelona to win, but I wasn't going to have any money on the line, that decision was solely based of on the fact that Lewandowski was supposed to miss the game due to his suspension for the red card he got before the world cup, I was very much surprised that he played the first Barca game of the year and while there is suppose to be a suspension in effective, but from what I learnt, it was said that Barcelona appealed for the suspension and pending the verdict he was allowed to play, not sure how true that is, however knowing the repercussion that comes with fielding an ineligible player in La Liga, so I don't presume Barcelona would have take such a chance.

Sacking Potter would only be a regressive move for Chelsea imo, I said from the get go that Chelsea might be to big a club for Graham Potter to manage, but that doesn't mean he was supposed to turn the team over overnight, He really just needs time imo, and the injuries aren't by any means helping his cause.

I think I'm on the brink of getting eliminated in the global cup, except if Andreas and Mason Mount can both come up with at least 13-14 points cumulatively, and the ironic things is that this is the week I've felt the most confident heading into the game with against opponent.

I'm looking to play a chip this coming game week, but I have not decided fully yet though, I think I need a restructuring in my team as a whole.

NOT go the Full Distance: 6

James Harden is literally carrying the 76ers by himself tonight, he's doing it all, Philadelphia 76ers are leading by 15 points 90-75, and James Harden with triple double already is the joint most-point, joint-most rebound, while also having the most assists in the game so far.

The Raptors is also up by 5 points at halftime, but the game very far from over as the Blazers aren't just going to go away that easily in the second 45 minutes.

I'm going with the Brooklyn Nets -2.5 vs Miami Heat for tonight, the Dallas Mavericks -4.5 points is also something I was willing to give a go on, but definitely not with Luka Doncic out.

Despite the fact that I would bet on Under 2.5 goals without any form regret, I just felt somehow to have gone with a 2-0 victory, but that's to buttress my confidence in the producing less than 3 goals.

Inter that was supposed to be the most comfortable ML bet to have in the Serie A for Saturday imo, they actually blew it at the very last moment, and Monza even still had a decent chance in final moment to have gotten the win.

I already have my plans for next game week but as you've said the only thing I'm waiting on is for either Chelsea or Manchester City to win later  tonight, it's already guaranteed with Tottenham but still Chelsea vs City to go, I'm looking on triple for Tottenham because I'm literally sure that without injuries the players I'm getting will play nothing less 60 minutes, while it's not guaranteed with City, I would literally place a bet on De Bruyne despite how important to Guardiola would not play 90 minutes of their next 3 games, or might not even start one, and that of Citizens vs Chelsea looks like the most likely situation to get a breather for De Bruyne, so If that's the case, I'm very likely to opt for De Bruyne too, but I do know for a fact that if he plays tomorrow for 90 minutes he's definitely going to miss one of those double GW, or not play for too long. If I'm to triple on Man City I'd likely have gone with Ederson but the problem is that he doesn't get to make to many saves in every game, so I'll be cool with have Pope in goal, Rodri could have been another option for me, the fact he his classified as a MD makes it highly illogical to have him for whatsoever reason.

Both teams to score came under the oddest of circumstances, and in quick succession to but after Benzema drawing level for Real Madrid from the spot, I thought it was going to be on Real Madrid's huge come back stories, but I guess it wasn't meant to be after all, but it was well deserved because they indeed created enough chances to have merited their victory.

It is such an advantage for Barcelona, because now they can afford to play draw against Atletico Madrid, since the matchup was supposed to be an advantage for Real Madrid before the game week.

Fiorentina already having a single goal against Sassuolo, so that's already looking pretty safe, while I'd expect Inter to get walk in the park against Monza too.

I'm still not all convinced about Juventus, I know they have a good streak going on but they've only just been scraping by with these wins, and playing against Udinese will be a tough task, I don't think the game will produce more 2 goals, I would have gone for Under 2.5 for my bet.

I'm currently watching the Brooklyn Nets playing against Pelicans, and it's not not going to be an easy game for either side, but I couldn't manage to meet the bet so I'm gonna pass on the live bet, with New Orleans Pelicans wrecking havoc already very early into the 2nd quarter, it's going to take a huge character from the Nets to turn this around from this point.


I'm going to bank on the Miami Heat ML, Phoenix Suns have been nothing but utter shit lately so it's pretty much an east bet to take for me.
