Gameweek TWENTY NINE.
Needless to say, after my last post, I will be free hitting this week. My team currently looks like this:
I may make some changes tonight/tomorrow morning. Though as I'm working tomorrow I'll miss the build up to the deadline, so it should be settled before my head hits the pillow tonight.
The big omission is Maddison. This is clearly a risk, especially with him being so highly owned by others. However, I feel it's a fairly pleasant differential.
The decision to choose two Spurs defenders instead of two mids was initially an instinctive one. Having thought about it I feel it makes sense from a logical point of view too though. I like having players with attacking potential in all positions. So when it came to choosing defenders this week Porro, Udogie and Doughty all naturally stood out. Given the dearth of games alternatives aren't too obvious. Whereas with Maddison, though he's obviously a great pick, and someone I would've chosen just as instinctively when looking at midfielders, there are players in midfield that can potentially match him.
Douglas Luiz, Elanga, Kudus, Bailey. All could potentially match him in any given gameweek. In fact, my big worry is going with the wrong alternative. Luiz could've very easily been in this side.
Of course, Maddison is still the better pick, and the danger is he gets double digits. That would probably do some real rank damage. The flip side offers a lot of upside though, and if he gets the odd assist or goal I can live with it if my guys deliver.
It also makes things a tad more exciting.
