GW8 and 9 Points

I've been super lazy on here, didn't even post up my gameweek 8 points. Plus I wildcarded and didn't even blog about it !!

So I'll just whack everything up to get up to date.

GW8:

Gameweek Points: 60

Gameweek Rank: 1,636,877

Overall Rank: 400,838

GW9:

Gameweek Points: 95

Gameweek Rank: 691,713

Overall Rank: 259,537

As you can see from the teams above I transferred out both Jota and Foden on the wildcard, and both scored, Foden bigly. However, some of the players I brought in also scored, so it all pretty much evened out. I worked out what I would've got with my original team and it would've been 98 points (though I would've had a free transfer to play with too). So a little bit more, but nevertheless offset by the fact that I'm happier with my current team going forward.

My plan is to make sure there's enough cash tied up in the positions currently occupied by Mané and Toney to be able to bring in any big hitter, plus a cheaper counterpart. That way I can easily move Mané to Kane/Ronaldo/De Bruyne/etc whenever I need to.

I'm currently thinking Mané to Son, then Son to Ronaldo as the fixtures switch. Though watching United today that plan's been dampened somewhat.

I'll leave it there for now. Hopefully I can get on top of this blogging lark now I'm all up to date.

GW7/GW8 - team's falling to bits :(((

So firstly, last week (GW7):

Gameweek Points: 42

Gameweek Rank: 2,918,976

Overall Rank: 390,758

I can barely remember GW7 it was that long ago. I just have a vague recall that I was very lucky - mainly due to Livramento and Duffy coming off the bench to boost my score by 10 points.

The Alonso move didn't pay off, and now I'm stuck with the possibility that he may not play this week too. The big disappointment is Torres getting injured though. I was really pinning my hopes on him finally starting this week, but now it looks like I'll have to use a minus 4 to get him out (probably for Foden).

With my other transfer I'll be doing Digne to Cancelo.

Even with two transfers I may still be left struggling to get out a full eleven though. The yellow flags, plus the rotation risks (which include my new transfers !), meaning it could theoretically be a disaster for me. So I'm really hoping for some more good luck :)

I came close to hitting the wildcard last night, but after having a little tinker I decided it still wasn't quite the right time. Hopefully some of my issues will clear up and I won't be forced to use it anytime soon, as I think when the fixtures start changing it could give me some nice potential.
