I picked a monster team

Didn't do any research, I have a general idea of what I want and why but I have to say that I don't like going without Palmer.
There was simply no place for him here, same as Semenyo. I have a feeling many different players will be picked in this one.

I was nearby to forget to make my team for this round, after so many time without having Premier League this can happen.

Well it was a strange feeling when i select my players for this round, i mean we have some clear picks but the timing of this round can give some troubles to us, i mean a few teams are gonna reserve players or made them play less minutes depending on how they are because they have Champions League games in the mid week.

I think I'll do the same, maybe it will turn my luck around😁 I think most people will take Fernandes on the team.. I really dont know if i will take Liverpool player, everytime i pick one player then they always disappointed me so much😂 but I'm going to wait for the lineup first before I make my choices

So, after West Ham destroyed Wolves, I'm happy with 14 points I got from Bowen. The man had three assists, two points for the defensive contribution and some kind of a bonus. I can't wait to see how my other picks will do today and tomorrow, but it looks promising.

Ahh man and of course Trofo also had Bowen on the team... Now I feel the pressure as usual😂 I think the only thing that can save me in this round is for my players to get a lot of bonus + 4 points.. but I won't give up without a fight😁

[cryptofrka]

As always, everything goes well until Liverpool gets to play.

Rice was a fantastic pick, unfortunately I went with Szoboszlai as well. I expected him to shoot way more in a game like this - and was also hoping for a few freekicks.
He got both the CS bonus and defcon bonus - but that isn't worth much when 1 shot carries more points than these 2 combined.

Most of the guys near the top of the table are without Haaland (had Bowen or Thiago) - meaning that they still have either Semenyo or O'Reilly to play. Will surely be interesting to see who comes out on top.

19 points for Rice this gameweek. Shame that I picked the wrong player from Arsenal (Raya), but the pain is a little softer with Virgil and his 9 points. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better game day.

wow Trofo what's going on?? I lead by 6 points ahead of you😂 This was a nice surprise😁 But you have 2 midfielders left, I only have 1 midfielder and 1 defender left. We both have captains left. and i am sure we both have fernandes😁 but that can change if my defender player gets few points while your midfielder player gets more points and take the lead.. Lets wait and see😁

This one could end up close, I have no idea which defender you have, there isn't a fixture today from which I would like to pick a defender. I guess you went with O'Reilly for his attacking contributions.

Of course Fernandes is my captain but second midfielder could be a little surprise. I went with gut feeling with him but still could change him to another midfielder or even Haaland.

Also I had to let you get close in order to keep you motivated and maybe ready to do the same bet next year

Yeah, I also went with him because I read somewhere that he has a total of 45 shots out of the penalty area in this season and 22 games with at least one shot. Of course that he decided not to shoot in this game so he brought us only 5 points. We both have 31 points, but you still have three players to get you points, while I have only two.

Btw, did anyone ever get more than 1-2 points for a goalkeeper? I don't understand why I always pick goalkeepers that get me only 1 or 2 points.

I was going to added Rice to my team at the expense of Szoboszlai early, but I completely missed the deadline for the Arsenal game, but hopefully my last midfielder can live to my expectation, and the surpass the mark set by Rice.

I would have been in a great spot If I didn't have Szobo and Rice instead of Gabriel, but it is what it is.

Yikes my team is really bad this week guess the long break took me out of whatever rhythm I had going or not, but in the end man this is really tough to figure out at times I swear after seeing Bowen get those early double digit points I knew it was gonna be a rough treading ahead but we look forward to the next week.

O Reilly was my only choice, and he did save me 😁 But really sad that he got injury and had to be substituted out.. We have one more match and you have to take another chance than Fernandes. But I'm 100% sure that dude "Free sterling" also has Fernandes which makes me consider taking a chance on another player just because I want to win 1st place 😂

Go for it I will decide tomorrow but maybe I will even stay on Bruno. Though call for you, I can allow myself to loose one round against you but then again.... It will be a moment notice when I see the line ups. Cunha could be a great one for this challenge if he is in the first 11.

That's crazy that he got injured that must stink but at least he put in the good work and helped you out getting some nice points, my round is really bad man but good luck to you hopefully it all works out in your favour.

Nightmare, oh my god... Pickford and Ekitike don't get points, our fault for not checking about their availability, Pickford doesn't get points for yellow cards right?

Haaland also played badly... I made him captain only getting 4 points means other City players are more than him, damn did we choose Haaland wrong.

Bowen and Rice got good points, we missed out.

No I captained Bruno instead, but it won't matter tat this point, the only thing I checked was if any of the players were injured and if they were starting that's it. As far as Bowen every time I picked him previously he did me wrong  so I don't usually look his way even though it was a good matchup.

Semenyo to the partial rescue, but I would have been running away with this round if I only didn't forget to bring in rice, and now Bruno Fernandes captain might not be able to save the day with almost everyone else in the top 5 with a player and captain whom I'm sure is Fernandes left to play as well. And I really can't think if a different option from that match that would best Bruno.

[Jinetics1111]

The next round challenge is pretty good with the fouls drawn and if it leads to a penalty shot, this one will be indeed challenging depending on the angle you choose to follow, and plus all the double game week teams too I can only assume that a lot of us will be going for similar builds and teams. So indeed it will be a bit tricky having to take a bit f risk on who to ultimately go with.

[cryptofrka]

I knew that I should have gone without Haaland. 2 points, no shots at all - he sometimes looks like the worst player in the world.
I had a draft with Bowen and O'Reilly, would have been a much better call.

I have to say that I was more disappointed with Szoboszlai though - I expected Haaland's blank but thought Szobo would be bringing a lot of points.
