GW3 - Triple Captain Late Luck

I've actually had a good gameweek. It's been a long time coming after last season, but I finally feel like I'm back and playing the game the way I like to play it.

I used the triple captain and got a bit of luck. The very late Bruno pen netting me 21 points, if you include the 2 bonus points it secured him. Ideally you'd like more than one return when using the chip, but I'm more than happy with that. 10 points for Bruno (including 2 all-important defensive contribution points, minus a yellow card), tripled to 30. That'll do nicely.

The rest of my team also did fairly well:

85 points (avg. 48)

I brought in Anderson and Cunha, who both failed to return. Apart from that everyone else contributed something. Anderson was unlucky to miss out on defcon points, making eleven defensive contributions for the third week in a row. Cunha went off early.

Along with Bruno I also got defcon points from Porro, Tarkowski and Rice. I get far too much joy from picking up these points. I celebrate them more than I do a goal.

GW2

I should really share my GW2 performance as well, though that wasn't quite as impressive.

39 points (avg. 51)

Lacklustre, with a touch of bad luck. Though the West Ham players I've selected have obviously just been a mistake (Wan-Bissaka was dropped this week).

Anyway, after GW2 I was sitting at 6,319,989 in rank. Now, after GW3, I'm up to 772,668.

Going forward..

Looking ahead I'm contemplating a Free Hit next gameweek. Mainly to get Salah for Liverpool's trip to Burnley. Though with Isak looking like he's on his way there that's getting a little less straightforward. With the dreaded international break here however there's no rush in making any decisions.
