Okay, so another week and another return for Salah. This week he looked good - I thought he was Liverpool's best player against Villa. Meaning the doubts I was expressing in my last post have largely disappeared.
I did sell Van Dijk however. I switched him out for Timber (I also did Porro to Munoz).
So ..in GW9 I ended the week with 44 points (average was 46).
And in GW10 I did much better: 86 points (avg. 65).
I'm pretty happy with my team now. The only frustration is that I've now locked myself out of getting Rice by brining in Timber. Rice really is ticking over nicely - assists, goals, defcon points. He has a lot of routes to points. In a way it's six and two threes given how tight Arsenal are at the back. Plus Timber also gets the odd return himself. So Timber's arguably the better option anyway. However, I spotted the potential of Rice at the start of the season, and it's left me with the feeling that I haven't followed my own instincts. I did start the season with him, but then wildcarded him out.
Now with Rice out of the picture the obvious midfield upgrade is Gravenberch. My plan is to downgrade Calvert-Lewin to someone even cheaper in order to upgrade Dewsbury-Hall. I'll have to wait another week to do that though. I like the idea of doubling up on Liverpool as people begin to move back to Salah. Again, Gravenberch and Timber is probably a better combination than Rice and Van Dijk on the whole, so things have worked out well really. Though there's always the chance Liverpool step it up in defence and Van Dijk starts nicking a goal or two.
