Huzzah.

I’d leave it then if I was you. If he does get on the pitch the likelihood of 6+ is so high I think it’s worth it.

How’s your defensive cover? I’m gonna gamble on Timber and if he doesn’t play I can live with Senesi. Mateta’s a goner for me, just think with the rate of games he’s playing he’s gonna be gassed out.

Was hoping to only use one or two transfers this week but with these flags it’s not looking good.

Thinking of 3 or 4 from Andersen, O’Reilly, Wilson, Fernandes, Ekitiké and Guiu (would be Fernandes and Guiu or Ekitike and no Bruno).

Just clocked the Chalobah captaincy, superb 😂

Why the mighty Bristol City of course.

Absolutely smashed it mate 👏

GW15

60 all out on the FH and a small green up to 109k.

Strange one. Feel quite underwhelmed but equally I’m 12 points up on my regular team (as I’d have done Petrovic > Verbruggen if I didn’t FH).

The Burnley penalty was a real killer but the United mids saved me last night.

He’d had 0 in 11 when I brought him in, 3 in 4 since (and no attacking returns) 😂

Double clean sheet wipeout in the 94th minute because of a stupid handball. Niiiiiiiiiice.

Thankfully I sorted a draft yesterday and it looks ok as I’m beyond hungover today and woke after the deadline. Unsure if O’Reilly will start but if not I’m hoping it will be a proper rest and I’ll get Munoz.

That’s a swerve for me Clive.

I'm on FH as well and edging towards leaving him due to the sheer volume of games they've played this season. Can see them looking leggy in general.

Really wanna go with De Cuyper on the FH but I just don't feel confident enough about the start. You think it's likely?

(I also don't think Barnes starts).

In an ordinary season I wouldn’t dream of free-hitting this team (with 1FT remaining), but in the nonsense that is 2025 FPL it has to be this week or 19.

Edging towards it as I think there’s upside with Newcastle, Brighton and Bruno. What do people think?

Agreed. I have VVD but am not remotely confident of cleans. If you actually watch the games they routinely get carved open in midfield as well.

Decent week considering only 8 of my 11 started!

80 points and up to 141k. God bless you Phil Foden.

Decision now is whether to FH in 15 or save it for 19…

Three of my starting line-up on the bench with King and Rodon as cover. Okie dokie…

I couldn't agree more. Nothing hits like a gut instinct pick that hardly anyone else has. Copying just seems a complete waste of time but each to their own I guess.

Considering the chips you have left I’d imagine you’ll be comfortably in it come GW20!

Don't lose heart fellas. It's been a really weird season and you can climb a lot quicker than usual with a couple of good GWs. I'm 4 points off the top 100k but only 33 ahead of 500k(!) Plenty of opportunity to climb in proper chip season too (not this single week chip nonsense).

Yeah I'd be surprised. He didn't play much football last season either, so feel he might have more legs in him. Of course he'll rotate at times but I can't see it imminently, especially as the rest of the team is very inconsistent atm.

Don’t understand these worries that Foden will be benched on the weekend. He’s their best player atm and they desperately need to be winning games to keep within reasonable distance of Arsenal. Just can’t see it.

Gone for Barnes, he feels fun and the next two are so good on paper. Just hope he starts 🤞

Decided to keep the armband on Haaland as he rarely blanks 3 in a row.

Absolutely love this time of year when the games come thick and fast!

Unreal progress last few weeks 👏

Barnes would be a short-term play for the next two home games against terrible defenses, while Anderson would be a more long-term pick that allows a defensive upgrade in GW15. However I'm also weighing up a FH in 15 so there's lots to consider 😅

Really want Harvey Barnes for a punt but having doubts about his minutes. It’s him or Anderson for Sarr but the latter feels sooooooooooo boring.

Only other decision is Mbeumo or Haaland.

Realised earlier I actually had 56 points not 55 so PANIC OVER GOOSE!

Looking a bit dicey for tomorrow, that Senesi yellow was very unhelpful.

Think I’ll go for either Barnes or Thiaw, don’t think a hit is worth it although Thiago away at Arsenal isn’t ideal.
