was real gutted how last week worked with the cup qualifying draw..... with the majority of my team playing i didn't qualify which is crap

It is what it is though,  this week i have started well soucek and Grealish.  Definate time to get rid of KDB thou

I notice they brought the wildcard forward by a couple of game weeks which I thought was a bit odd. Just waiting to see who will get sucked in to using it considering this round is for catchup matches.

Might all be irrelevant for the meantime though since the UK is going back into lockdown...

I still get confused between the wild card and free hit, consequently haven't used any of them!

Wildcard unlimted trades for 1 week (they are perminant)

Free hit unlimited trades for 1 week (only stay for that week before reverting to what you had before you made the trades)

Cool, used my free hit for this week. Fingers crossed!

Of course being the idiot I am, I used my wildcard this week without checking the fixtures and have ended up with only 3 players in my squad actually playing in this round. It looks good for the following round with some players playing twice but probably should have held off in case I suffer injuries to those actually playing this round!

Yep. only  had 8 play but still came away with 41 points.  Really happy with that.

Looks like more fixture changes and cancelations this week due to covid

Started this week off to a flyer with 39 points from 4 players, and was looking at a massive rise in overall rank.

ended up with 59 and a minor rank rice....   slowly getting closer to the top 1 mill tho

Really tossing up if i should ditch Salah, but if i do who for?

Still sitting top ?

But it's getting harder now. Squad rotation, big names out with injury (Kane, Vardy, De Bruyne etc) Injuries I think will play a key component, and I'm never settled on picking City players, due to the fact you hardly know who will come in each week.

Relying on a front three of Wilson, Watkins and Bamford this week, Salah as captain. Somehow have cobbled together a midfield of Fernandes, Son, Salah, Grealish and Saka. Still going strong in the Cup too, but my 2 extra transfers may come back to bite me on that one.

All to play for lads ?

some double game weeks and with some COVID postponements that second wild card, triple captain and bench post may be useful ?

Was a pretty good week ;)

Could've gone the other way had I taken Calvert-Lewin over Wilson like it seems so many others did (I think it said he was the most transferred in player)

Through to the next round of the Cup too. On to the next one!

Nice, you are doing really well.

Pathetic... Soucek sent off for elbowing Mitrovic by accident. Mitrovic even pleaded for him, but after about 5 mins of VAR looking then the ref looking, its a red card.

Benched Watkins, ffs! 

But the guy I'm up against in the cup has loaded himself up with Leicester players, so hoping Wolves blank them, and Gundögan, Salah and Bamford have excellent games and hopefully make it through to Round 24.

Lot's of good finishers emerging this season too in the likes of Bamford, Watkins, Wilson etc compared to your past couple of seasons being dominated by Salah, Mane, Kane and Vardy. Makes it hard to settle on a front line!

Aiming for my first ever 100 point week. Moved into top 900 in NZ and 220,000 on the world ?

Well ahead in my cup tie too. Although he's still got 4/5 players to play.

I wild carded and brought in two Everton players hoping they may beat or even thrash Fulham and maybe pinch a goal against city

I think the logic was sound and as a differential to make a move up the rankings

but 2-0 to Fulham

Plus brought in and captained sterling as a slight differential verses the other city midfielder in my side who I thought the majority would be on

Once again think the logic was ok
