I'm worried cause we're already approaching the first half of the season and it's always nearly impossible to be break a 50 points gap. I'm 34 points from Top 8 already,

Are you sure you are still going to be able to catch up? this one seems to be drifting away already.

Gabriel, Semenyo and Halaand got me the least points this week...

City's next opponent is Wolves, Haaland still looks like a good captain pick considering Wolves are having a bad start to this Premier league campaign. Liverpool play Chelsea next too, I am thinking that I cannot trust Liverpool assets to keep a clean sheet knowing how good Chelsea's attacking press is.
Gabriel for me will carry that attacking threat all through the season. For Semenyo, next game is against Arsenal, low points expected from him.

Konsa getting injured in the game also ruined my week slightly, though. I thought he should bank 6 or 7 points easily on this shit United side. Guess this is why we bank free transfers though. [...]

I'm in the same boat.. First clean sheet for Aston Villa as Konsa goes off on 12 minutes. 

[goodpunt]

Time to pronounce GW 7 winner - goodpunt - he currently has 76 points which is 23 more than second place ans should be more than enough to keep first place even if bonus points get recalculated. But just in case it will become official tomorrow. Pickford won this one for you.

Thanks for the notification Trofo.

Never thought that Pickford and the back line of Everton would be able to keep a clean sheet without Branthwaite so a nice surprise here.

Gordon, the Newcastle kicker, is someone Pickford knows a great deal about, which helped him make that save. Had it been Isak, I doubt he would have saved. I am very sure that you did not expect to win by points gathered from Pickford in this fixture. I guess this is how luck works: you get points from players that you least expect.

Big hopes again that selections do not get injured from representing their countries in the international break.

Thanks Brighton for ruining my parade with Spurs. I keep wanting to believe Ange's got things right. Then Brighton and Milner smack my Porro down to 1 point. Hope we get our "revenge". I should be happy this week with 50+ points. But relying on Saka captaincy luck for that just doesn't feel sustainable. Can't keep playing this roulette.

Just as long as he's not injured for next GW. I really wanted to keep my transfers safe =)

Only one laughing is goodpunt for his faith in Everton -- and here I am stuck with DCL haha.

When it comes to penalties and most of these set piece, it’s only normal for the goalkeepers to have some knowledge of the set piece takers but, there isn’t any guarantee that players do find the net always. Isak is good for sure but, I could say the same for Pickford, his no stranger to making penalty saves. Everton might make him look bad given their performance and his very much part of the team but, when you’re left exposed often by your defense, you’re just bound to conceive. Good points from him once more, didn’t get nothing of it though.

We are all playing roulette eventually, having to rely on Haaland so much and he shots us in the foot for 2 consecutive game weeks. Saka even did good in the just concluded GW if we were to match that.

On the other side many (like me) expected at least one clean sheet from Arsenal against the likes of Leicester and Southampton but well... very disappointing.

So true first Mcneill against Crystal and now Pickford
But DCL looks like a good choice for the upcoming gameweeks maybe I should add him too and your decision to choose Saka for (C) was fantastic.

[darxiaomi]

My week was saved by Pickford, like the penalty he save

What a boring week is gonna be this one without any fun from the pools or fantasy. #nomoreinternationalbreak

I was thinking the same as well, I guess we will just have to enjoy the International games and hope our picks don't get injured.

Havertz pulled out of International duty for Germany, and the news is that it is because he is nursing a knee injury,  but I am thinking that it is Arteta's way of trying to help him get some rest for the tougher fixtures we have after the international break.

[buwaytress]

I'm very close to losing whatever small joy I have left for football. Hope FIFA get sued and lose, hope UEFA too, all these internationals, they're ruining the momentum of club football more and more I feel.

Yup, I ain't won over by Nations League.

I gave up on the keeper lotto even last season, it's pure luck and arbitrary likelihood when other teams decide to give a keeper free shots to save. I'm not unhappy with Flekken, and don't expect points from keepers anyway.

And yeah, I like DCL anyway, it does help that Everton should be doing their usual "oh shit we're going down, now let's win enough points to stay up" mode at some point during the season.

Some interesting options are appearing - a few players I've got my eyes on that not many people have. Tough schedules incoming for most of the top teams, let's see how we manage this interesting period.

I'm sitting on 4 free transfers, a mini revamp of my team is needed and I am just waiting for the international break to finish not to risk any injuries.

Nice job on saving 4 free transfers,that took a lot of risk. Hopefully it didnt cost you much i think i will do the same for next couple of rounds and gather those transfers because i took a wild card 2 weeks ago so sitting now on 2 free transfer but still no need to use any. Also icopress can you slow down a little already 100 points away from me,you arent making this league intresting for us

Icopress had a stellar start to the season but I am 99% sure he will drop a little in the coming weeks. This season is just like that, you can't have all the premium options that are doing good. One week it will be Palmer and Salah, next week it will be Haaland and Saka that will haul. There is also a monster haul for Trent coming at some point.

It is still very early and there is no point even checking ranking before half season. 100 points in GW 30 would be a problem, 100 points at this stage with most of the chips intact are a nice lead but nowhere near game over for the chasing pack.

That's true. Last week I was 75 points ahead. Now it's down to 35.

No one in the top five has Palmer so I'll be hoping he'll be a difference maker for me. However, I don't have Mbeumo and with Brentford's excellent schedule I see that as a problem (I'm also worried about Solanke and Wood).

That's true. Last week I was 75 points ahead. Now it's down to 35.

It is the obvious truth but,
Its one truth that breeds a mindset, a mindset that could get you so relaxed that you wouldn’t realize when things change and your catch up game might not be it no more. What’s there to note as well, those ahead will always do there most to keep there game and as such, your just left chasing right behind except some magic chip bails you out.

Both players @Mbeumo and Wood made a difference for me last GW, they are an excellent choice from the way I see it and they both are capable of producing something in a game where there team pose some threat to the opposition.

I wildcarded, that helped a bit. It did cost me, I'm far away from the top but I would have made the same choices in retrospective - I'm not getting any breaks anywhere.

I like how my team will be set up for the future after using a few transfers, 100 points is a huge gap but as Trofo said - we're just getting started.

Well i used up triple captain and wild card so used two tokens already and i think that might be a problem for the future. For my team im also satisfied and will just keep up saving the transfers so i can do some big changes in the future that might make a difference. Hope he is right because we will need some big points to get back into the game.

[darxiaomi]

I always try to save the tokens for later, but in fact sometimes is worse, you wait so much to use it and when the times come, its not the better game to use it and you start to being pressure to use it before the season ends, and you spend it in a shit way.

So is more a luck thing. Wildcard and other yes you can prevent or know where and when to use because of injuries or international breaks.

You really shouldn't regret it. Your triple captain's vis was played very successfully.

It doesn't really matter when you play the chips, it only matters how much points you get from them. Usually there were better opportunities later in the season with the double game weeks but this season there should be way less those opportunities due to reschedule of FA Cup games.

I like to use the chips later to give me that boost in points close to the end. I feel best playing from behind and attacking the points. Last season I was leading most of the time and I hated it, instead of taking inspired choices you always go for template to secure the lead and that is boring. Finishing first half of the season 50 points from the top with all the chips is the goal for me.
