FPL: Steady Sailing

My three gameweeks since the last post have been average, average, good. In GWs 10 & 11 I finished a little below the average, in GW12 a fair bit above. Consequently, I'm now about 50k higher overall than I was back then :)

GW10: 60 points (avg. 66)

GW11: 29 points (avg. 32)

GW12: 86 points (avg. 64)

I benched Tsimikas for that 15 pointer, which was slightly annoying. Putting Kabore in wasn't the brightest idea, although saying that, United haven't been too bright in front of goal, and in the end I was just a goal away from the clean sheet. So not quite as appalling as it looks on paper. It does mean I can keep hold of Tsimikas too. I was thinking he'd be a sell this week.

I'm not sure what I'll do now going forward. Sadly we have yet another international break, so the flow is broken once again. Whenever we have an international break I always pretty much just switch off. I think it's largely pointless making plans so far from the gameweek deadline. It's best just to accept that fpl is cancelled for the week and then get on with doing other things. I'll come back next week with a fresh pair of eyes. Plus, I've been working all weekend, meaning I'm still yet to see any of the weekend's highlights. So I can watch Match of the Day 2 at leisure, and savour my Ward-Prowse points.

Oh, and I took out Saka last week (along with the injured Maddison) to bring in Son and Bowen. Only time will tell how much this will dent me. It's not a move I particularly fear, but Saka picked up another return this week and the Arsenal fixtures are good, giving me a tiny worry. I also worry that Son will be a lesser option with Maddison now injured.  I'm quite happy with my team though, and it's fairly easy to switch these midfielders around.
