Gameweek 29. Bench boost played. Success!

The massive double gameweek 29 has finished. I ended up with 140 points (took a 4 point hit so 136 net). I call that a success. Here is my team –

A nice 100k gameweek rank 🙂 Out of the players I had, picked the right captain (Mitoma). Although based on EO, I think if I captained Mings would have been better rank rise – but I was never going to captain Mings!

The player which effected my rank negatively, the most, is Watkins. Villa play Forest next so he could negatively effect my rank again. Not sure I’ll be getting him into team though.

I played bench boost but did not really think about who was on bench so in a way saying bench score does not matter. IF I was not playing bench boost, who would be on my bench?? Probably Mee, Mings, Raya and maybe Kane. So would have been 26 points.

This was the 11th green arrow out of 12 since the World Cup/restart so its going well!

Now ranked 182k. 91k in the Second Change league. My aim is still top 100k. But maybe I should aim higher? 23 points behind 100k.

Not too long ago was about 40 points behind 100k. Only chip left now though is freehit chip but still double GWs to navigate.

Transfers this week worked out but was always a good chance as taking out single GW players – and especially when Saka did not start. Salah only got the 1 goal – hindsight should not be that surprised as tough fixtures and Liverpool are not that good.

But happy its a positive points difference. Probably is now I want Saka back into team! Saka/Arsenal playing well and they play Liverpool next. Probably need a City attacker back in team too. (I got rid of Haaland when he blanked – and then injured. But he’s back in training now).
