who's everyone captaining this double week?

Was going to be Kane but Arsenal asked for game to be postponed

I went with Dennis, too.

Was frustrated to note that the guy who just took back the lead in my mates' league recruited one of my players this week, so we now have 7 starters in common. I then peeked at his transfer history and saw that in the last 6 weeks he's recruited 5 of my players, always 2-3 weeks after I brought them in. Such an annoying "feature" of the game, and much worse this season with all the disruptions.

Edit: at least he didn't copy Joachim Anders- oh ffs

Ultimately when you get enough ahead, maybe 50 points or more there's a lot of 'cancel out ' tactics. Almost impossible for the chasers to catch up then unless they have a really lucky captain choice one week.

I wanted to go Dennis but the possibility of Burnley Watford being called off put me off, so dirtily went Ronaldo even if he does only appear from the bench later.

Was tempted just to go Bowen again to be honest, he's my vice. Glad I haven't been taking hits or using chips like I've seen a lot of people do lately.

Yeah it is definitely the worst thing about the game. I do think having an option to make teams private would be cool.

Ultimately it's the reason the Draft side of the game is a lot more rewarding. I can see this season being the last one the one I have going as numbers have dwindled, so maybe we should look at setting a RAWK one up next season.

Dennis captain failed, especially if Watford vs Burnley gets called off.

Most people went either Kane or Ronaldo who may well still be a good shout in their second game but don't expect massive points this gameweek.

having a nightmare. took Mo out , then a few days later played a free hit to take advantage of the double gw.

Turns out the mo transfer gets wiped out, so thats gonna cost me .2 cash i dont have. also the transfer disappears, still only have one and i have 4 red players including mo.

then with the actual free hit i traded out Gallagher and St maxim who both scored and benched Cancelo who got 11 points , and put in 3 Leicester players whose game got wiped. 3 chelsea players who got minimum, and captained minimum Dennis.

FUCK me.

Ronaldo not even in the squad  :D

I took a FH this week. Included Fernandes initially, on the grounds that Ronaldo was reportedly injured and therefore fancied him as a main goal threat. Then last minute read that Ronaldo was expecting to be ready for Villa...and subsequently switched out Fernandes for him (and made him captain).

I am not the least bit surprised to see that Ronaldo was nowhere to be seen and Fernandes bagged a brace. Every marginal call like this that I've made this season has gone against me, occasionally in spectacular fashion.

Call the whole thing off I say.

I'm on a whopping 6 points with Gallagher on the bench, if that makes you feel any better.

I went with Trent. I'd have never have predicted Bruno's haul after getting like one return in 16 weeks or whatever tbf, so thought Trent was the safe choice after the other postponements. Quite happy with my 20 points, will be even happier if Bruno does nothing against Brentford.

I really need to captain Trent or Cancelo sometime, they're easily #2 and #3 in the season rankings but force of habit always has me captaining a mid or forward even when Mo's away.

I had Bowen as captain until the last second when I changed to Dennis. Managed to limp to 40 and barring cancellations have three playing again so not quite as abysmal as it first looked.

Free Hit incredible fail, Mount benched, Spurs and Leicester games cancelled, Ronaldo captain not even on the bench, reckon I MIGHT get more than if I'd done nothing or just moved Son to Mount, but a complete waste of a chip.

My advice to everyone would be don't play any chip other than wildcard until we have at least two clear weeks without a cancellation

James Ward-Prowse has turned out to be a masterstroke, I bought him after he scored against Palace and he has accrued another 3 goals and 2 assists in the 4 games since. He played every minute of every game the previous 2 seasons and missed only 11 minutes of this season aside from time lost to ared card. Always good for a dozen G+A each season and moderately priced, and yet no one is jumping on the bandwagon despite the dearth of availability across the league. Weird how he gets overlooked but I ain't complaining, even the anticompetitive shitbird leading my mates' league hasn't taken him yet!

Robert Sanchez has been in my team since week 1, purportedly as a backup but he's started about half the games due to my original starter being a short-armed dud and my current starter playing for derby dodging cowards. Boy, Sanchez is just the most uninspiring and disappointing fantasy player, though. Almost never gets more than 2 saves, gets the occasional clean sheet but usually without any extra for saves or bonuses. I think there's been a couple of occasions where the beeb feed shows "penalty missed" by a Brighton opponent but on each occasion it's turned out that the pen taker put it over the bar. He's just incredibly vanilla, but competent enough that I won't get rid. It's hard to explain the deflation this guy causes me, I think I might be a little off in the head.

Another player who has 4g and 2a in the last 5 is Bukayo Saka. Somehow I didn't notice that at all. Anyway, Bowen is the one getting all the attention right now, and Gallagher over the course of the season, but JWP has emerged as the other value mid after a slow first half.

Been easy to overlook JWP with so many other midfield options. Off the top of my head there are maybe 12 who could explode between now and the end of the season = Saka, JWP, Raphinha, Coutinho, Sterling, KdB, Foden, Mount, Gallagher, Maddison, Bowen and Jota, as well as Salah obviously. Didn't even mentioned Bruno or Son there. Think I'll just go cheap up top and load up on midfield assets but juggling them for the rest of the season is going to be a tough task.

I've never considered JWP. Probably as said just because midfield is where all the good options are. Saka has been my best decision of the season though.

Wonder if Neil Atko has changed his view on Raphinia not scoring enough goals yet? He's having a great season (in a poor team).

68 points this GW with Maddison/Reguilon still to play which I'm relatively happy with as long as Ronaldo doesn't score tonight.

Jose Sa and the Wolves defence is by far the most overlooked in the game.
