However, though I've been lazy with posting, I haven't been lazy with my team. So I'm still having a fairly good season. We're in the middle of DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 33, and on the cusp of BLANK GAMEWEEK 34 - i.e. free hit time.
I'll share both my teams below..
First Up: Bench Boost 33
I'm really pleased with this team. As things stand, halfway through the double, I'm probably about six or seven points behind the average bench boost team. But going into the second round of games I have a few nice little differentials. Most notably the three Bournemouth defenders, along with Hinshelwood and Cucurella.
The first round of games moved me up from around 112k to 74k, so overall it seems to be going well too.
In fact, my record since my last post has been nothing but green.
GW34 Free Hit
We're looking like this at the moment. The Mbeumo yellow flag has literally just appeared (it's a knock apparently). So that's one change I'll no doubt make over the coming days.
There seems to be a bit of a clamour for Spurs players in the fpl community. The main reason I have Porro is basically that I've copied them. In my first draft that certainly wasn't my instinct though, so that's going to be a tricky one. My instinct is more along the lines of, "Just stick three Arsenal, Liverpool and United players in there."
If Mbeumo is doubtful there aren't too many other United options. Maybe I should just be boring and switch him to Rice. Then I could be could even more true to type and replace Porro with an Arsenal defender.
Still a good few days to decide..
