Planned to captain Salah for GW 12 against Fulham but now I’m not so sure with him playing 98 minutes!!

if not for the spurs game 72 hours after I’d still be expecting Salah to play 70-80 mins but now he’ll surely get some kind of rest. Nightmare scenario.

Will happen a lot to most players over the next month with games every few days, fantasy football managers worst nightmare!

I think you can usually at least half plan for that though, Klopp’s mindless decision to play a handful of first team players and Salah in particular for the whole meaningless game shocked everyone. Laughable when he was playing the victim, bleating about congested fixtures.

Agreed. I was gonna put Salah but in but then saw they've to Spurs in 3 days. I think Jota might play at the expense of one of Salah (Jota got dropped for Wolves last week but did play the other night too).

 

Edit: I just put Mane in.

I'm undecided if I should do it.

Jota picked up a knock according to the presser.

Klopp logic will probably mean he plays the whole game against Fulham though 🙄

I own Jota and Salah and I’ve got 2 free transfers but I’m really unsure how to mitigate this. Mane is probably the safest bet of the all pool attackers but I’m not getting rid of Salah under any circumstances, he is must have IMO.

I transferred Jota in yesterday. 

Is injured. He won't play tomorrow. 

Soucek is on my bench so will come in. 

 

Swings and roundabouts

Vardz and JJ pulling a decent GW out of my ass

My draft teams are nailing it. Maddison, Justin and Vardy all in one of mine.

Me too. Second 70 in as many weeks! Pulling back from a slow start

57 this week, not as horrific as first feared as Saturday's matches were awful for me.

 

Had 2 free transfers so swapped Jota and Kilman for Dias and Lookman so have a squad that will generally all play.

 

Was tempted by De Bruyne as tripe captain for midweek but guessing its best to wait until double gameweeks to play the special options.

[StanSP]

72 this week. Transferred Jota in but he didn't play and is now injured long-term. Bit of a waste of a transfer but for this gameweek, it meant Soucek could come in.

Wow, what a dreadful evening. Dias own goal and captain KDB blank..... goodbye top 120k overall rank 😫

[Nick]

I scored 91 last week - my best this year.

 

Got a massive 1 point so far after tonight’s games... Methinks it won’t be repeated.

[StanSP]

Mahrez as captain was a superb choice I must say.

You may regret that decision come gameweek 18!

Yep, no doubt, but it just shows that anything I do and anyone I pick just fvck up

[PhillippaT]

I'm not doing that well (as usual), and still losing to my friend overall, even if I beat him this week - (I finally captainalized the right player in my team - yay! (Son) (I still feel a bit icky having Spurs players in there, but still...)

[Nalis]

Was going to sell my soul and captain Kane for the weekend given his record against us but decided to captain Fernandes instead. 

 

Still vice captained him though so still a bit of a Judas.

I set Kane as my captain because he always scores against us but also in hope I jinx in him, considering I seem to jinx everybody else.

 

I got 29 points this week, just lol

i am tempted to triple captain him.... That will then surely jinx him

Good idea actually!

I have a 3 month old son who genuinely could've accumulated more points than me over the last month.

 

Thank god family Xmas has been cancelled is all I can say!

I've captained him and transferred in Son.
