Azpil 1 point. Davies 0 points. Foster 9 points.

I'm totally ok with that  ;D

So the big question is will Salah play this Saturday?

I'm thinking of triple captaining him to cover for the players I have missing.

Hmm. That's also an option but I'm worrying that with the top 4 and relegation places being already settled there will be a lot of rotation.

Probably still better to use it there though.

I made Sanchez triple captain this week. 'Twas a splendid decision.

To compound the error I was this close to making Salah triple captain when he scored 4 and assisted 1 against Watford a few weeks back. "Nah", I thought, "better to wait for the catch up games instead".

Im not sure if i dodged a bullet or not. wasted my triple cap on azpil trying for a differential, fail, but had 7 doubles play got a 69 after -4, and fell to 37.4 from 25.6, best of year 19.9. and stayed on the RAWK first page 34, was 23.

think im ok with that thought i could get a whipping at one point. Pretty high pretty late im pretty excited about all this  ;D

1 transfer will get me 11 players on Sat hopefully if rotations doesn't set in all over. C Salah of course

I was going to do the same but now having second thoughts and might use it on Kane in his DGW as he’s clearly desperate to be the top scorer.

Night just have to take the hit that I’ll only have 7 or 8 playing today.

Only cobbled 8 together today and don’t even know if they’ll all play given our and Arsenal’s Upcoming European games. Stick with captain Mo or should I go for Sterling or Sane v Swansea.

Dropped about 70k places last week with 61 points, wasted a double week game for a lot of players.

I was thinking about Bellerin or monreal.  Monreal hasn't played much recently (has he been injured?) and Bellerin has missed a couple of games too. It'll cost me four points to bring one in, in place of Mee.  That'll mean I have 11 starters for this week and arsenal still have another four games after this one, so feels like a reasonable move... If they don't play all the games though, then it looks stupid.  Oh the stresses of ff. Lol

Chambers and Mustafi seem to play the most league games. Monreal / Bellerin are easy rotation options for upcoming europa league semis.

I think Mo will play about 65-70 mins maximum depending on the score at the time. Sterling could easily be rested as City are essentially on the beach now. Triple Captaining Kane in the double gameweek is the best option as the greedy bastard will probably score 4!

Couldn't decide so asked my missus. She had absolutely fuck all idea what the hell I was talking about but said yes, so on her head be it if he doesn't play.

I make the same mistake every season of saving Bench Boost/Triple Captain for the inevitable double-fixture cluttering at the end of the season. Never works out because of rotations and some teams going on summer holiday early.

Like the guy earlier, I was hovering over the Triple Captain button on Mo before the Watford game, thinking he'd be back with a vengeance following the "now everyone knows how to stop Salah" bollocks post-Toilet, and because of Watford's terrible recent away form. But once again I thought, no, gotta save it for a double fixture. FEWL! So I wasted the Triple on Mahrez last week, who predictably did nothing, just as he has for the last month. I'd even thought "huh, maybe I should just use it on Mo's single fixture anyway", and that would've been a better option since he scored yet again. And now I'm saving the Bench Boost for week 37 when team selections will be all over the shop. Goddammit.

Don't know if it's been mentioned already, but Mo is well on track to beat the all-time highest season tally (295 by Suarez in 13/14) and become the first to crack 300. Do the right thing, Jurgen!!

Smashes 63 past the keeper with dummett outstanding. Actually moved back past where i was at the start of the double game week 22,132 and 26 on rawk.

Man 10 weeks in i was around 2 millionth. Nice. Better progression than the Ox. and Manc free at all times soooo gratifying  ;D

Used by one-week wild card (or whatever it's called).

Think I jinxed our defence by bringing in VVD.
And I made the wrong call on Aubemayang vs. Lacazette.

Got a decision to make here lads

Got Bench boost and triple captain left.  Cant play 2 chips in one gameweek which asks the question:

Do I play triple captain this week (Mo) and then bench boost next week with a good few teams playing twice.  With 2 free subs next week i make it that all 15 of my squad will have 2 games and barring injures picked up this week will play.

So does having 4 subs that will play and score me points twice in one gameweek outweigh a triple captain in the double gameweek (probably be Jesus)?

Depends how much your squad play. My sub keeper is the Huddersfield sub, not even sure he’s real. Also have Mbemba who hasn’t played since Milner was a teenager.

I’m tempted to use triple captain on Mo too, the nagging doubt is he’ll only play an hour (not a problem if he scores a couple in that time!

Might just save that for the final and but then if we wrap up top 4 before then he might not play at all.

I’m going to use bench boost in the double header week I think and scrape what I can from the bench. Nearly did it a couple of weeks back, would have got about 5 extra points had I done so. Hardly worldbeating but better than not using it!
