GW11 Review - I took out Cancelo for Chilwell :(((

Yes, I took out Cancelo this week. Let's not talk about it. I fancied United to get a goal, so thought I'd be clever and remove a City defender. I kept Dias mainly thinking he was a tad more nailed on to start - that was cowardly in hindsight. I should have kept the more attacking player.

Still though, it wasn't actually a terrible week for me, and it was also a little unlucky. So I can't feel too bad.

What immediately springs to mind when looking at the results of this gameweek is that pro/template players and now beginning to strip away from the casuals. My gameweek rank was 1.5m, and I was 12 points above the average, which isn't too bad. Yet it still resulted in a small red arrow. So I think the dust is starting to settle, which in turn means rank now matters.

I'm fairly happy with a 260k rank at this point in the season - I usually start poorly, so I'm better off than I have been in the last two seasons. Still though, it leaves me with a lot of work to do, and bad gameweeks are going to hurt hard from now on.

My plan going forward is still to bring in Ronaldo in GW16. Before then I'm going to bring in Son for Mané - I'll probably do that this week. Then next gameweek I'm thinking Toney to Jiménez; to double up on the Wolves attack against Norwich.

It's annoying me a little having Toney. It feels like a wasted spot. However, Newcastle this gameweek is a decent fixture, so he can have this last one.

I still have two free transfers. I'm absolutely determined to save that extra free one for my Ronaldo move, which is going to take a degree of willpower. I'm also very interested in bringing in more West Ham players. When Ronaldo comes in I'm hoping I have enough cash to turn Son into Bowen. I also really like the idea of bringing Cresswell in at some point.

And as for Cancelo (returning to start), I think his recent price changes have now priced me out of getting him back. Obviously I'd prefer to have him rather than not have him. At the same time though I'm trying not to be too kneejerk about it. If the opportunity arises to bring him back I'll take advantage, but I'm not going to waste transfers doing it. Especially when I need to make sure I have the cash to make my Ronaldo move.
