    Thankfully my United trio of Fernandes, Rashford and Martial (c) are starting tonight [-O< needs goals

    2-0 up already. I expect United players are highly captained this gameweek, so I'm hoping they don't score that many goals (Aubameyang (c) here)…

    I only have Bruno goal points so far, I am desperate for a Martial goal, though if United get another I see changes being made. My team is a mess not expecting much this GW

    It' not been the best start for me either. I brought in Foster last GW, Hoping that Watford would be good for clean sheets, but it looks like I must find a replacement instead…

    Its so unpredictable, I did not expect a Burnley win. Bruno gets second goal. Martial please score [-O<

    Damn, a rival in another mini league has Fernandes (c). He will go past me in the league rankings now.

    Since the restart I am tumbling down the ranks, I am not confident in many players I have currently though reluctant to take too many hits.

    United look good though top four is possible with our run in.

    Same here. Was hoping for a top 100k finish, but now I'm soon down 100k in the rankings instead.

    I imagine United will have a shot at top 4. Leicester don't look that impressive, so everything is possible.

    Those are very nice fixtures. Can't ask for a better run-in, IMO.

    Ouch! Would have been happy with the Fernandes points if they didn't make my red arrow even bigger!

    My top 10K hopes are fading fast

    That's still a good overall rank though! I'm down at 180,400 at the moment. Need to get my captaincies right the remaining gameweeks if top 100k is to be a possibility.

    I am eyeing two transfers though will wait until all this GW's games have finished, I am going to have to take another hit. Two GW's in a row my captain has failed, I need to bounce back next GW or even top 50K will be at risk.

    I still have my Triple Captain so if I nail that...

    I'm either going to take a hit, or try to save a free transfer. But like you, I too have to wait until the gameweek is done before making any moves.

    I have bench boost left, but I have no idea when to use it…

    My FPL season may have self destructed though Leicester losing and Chelsea trailing is great for United's top four hopes.

    I know the feeling…It just looks like points are going to players you don't own…

    I finally got some luck though, with Aubameyang delivering against Norwich. Can't really say much of Arsenal despite the 4-0 win, as Norwich wasn't as dangerous as one might have expected. With United and the other teams around Arsenal picking up the points needed, I don't think Arsenal will do any better than 8th at best – I think they should be happy if they finish that high.

    Missed out on a SU double clean sheet right at the death, Son got the assist though small consolation. I will be lucky to get 40 points this GW.

    Spurs out of top four race surely now

    Ouch! It's a tricky gameweek. If it wasn't for Aubameyang, I wouldn't had many points.

    I don't know, I will never underestimate Mourinho pulling off a run to manage top four, but the teams ahead (and I'm not counting Arsenal here), should be able to pick up enough points to secure their spots ahead on the table.

    My team looks OK for next set of games though thinking Rashford and Son out Salah and Greenwood in. Which coukd be another risk, really not sure what do do

    City 2 - 0 Liverpool 10 minutes to half time, having won the league how much will Liverpool really go for it in the remaining games?

    3 - 0 Foden is on fire, great for England the player we desperately need in Midfield.

    Those move looks risky (on paper), but they might work! I'm really not sure what to do with my team either; the squad is not the best for this gameweek, and I definitely feel like I need to do something. Might have to spend tomorrow thinking about potential moves…

    Expected a much less one-sided game! It didn't do well for my OR, but the Liverpool players are highly owned, so there are many FPL managers in the same boat.

    Hah, funny one! Sp*rs' season makes you wonder if of Kane, Alli etc. will stick around for much longer. Eriksen has already left.

    That being said, it won't surprise me if Arsenal finds themselves with a similar situation with Aubameyang this summer…

    Good line up, undecided what to do thinking off getting rid of Rashford though no obvious replacements and can't afford Aubameyang. I am concerned that if I take a hit the players I bring in will be rested

    @Torgeirtrap I have heard Barca are interested in Aubameyang, I suspect he may leave if Arsenal show no ambition either way.

    Great just checked my team I only have two defenders and even they may be rested :))

    Edited: Lundstram and Lascelles being injured has led me to playing it safe, just got a Wolves defender in no hits.

    Fire_and_Ice_Returns talks are ongoing re. a contract with Aubameyang apparently, but I'm not getting my hopes up he will stay. I suspect one of (if not both) Aubameyang and Lacazette will leave in the summer. The club have the Kroenke's to thank for lack of ambition…

    I suspect we might have to expect injuries in the remaining gameweeks. Lundstram is out a couple of weeks, isn't he?

    Still not sure what to do with my team. I guess I could take a hit to make my team a bit more interesting, but I don't think that's the best solution.

    Here are the gameweek 33+ captaincy picks!
    Salah: 5
    De Bruyne: 5
    Fernandes: 2
    Aubameyang: 2
    Kane: 1
    Sterling: 1
    van Dijk: 1
    Son: 1
    Vardy: 1

    Salah and De Bruyne are by far the most captained players this gameweek, with five managers backing each of them. The rest of the captaincies are quite spread out, in a gameweek where there are many good options.

    Good luck everyone!

    Congratulations Dinamo Skruknott

    Shock horror my captain has got an assist, so far...

    Greenwood scores again, this kid is good

    The Pukki punt failed he is gone if he can't score against Brighton at home Norwich are doomed.

    Edited: Martial goal all my 3 United players involved in points... And it's almost half time. My Captain 2 assists get in, need more

    Was 3 - 2 now its 4 - 2 Greenwood again world class

    5 - 2 Fernandes get in Captain points and United are on fire up front

    Almost 6 United offside, United are clicking

    I was close to going Rashford to Greenwood though was worried Greenwood may be rested and my defence issue and reluctance to take a hit stopped me lol

    I almost hit triple captain on Fernandes though bottled it lol

    I'll likely be bringing in Greenwood for next GW, simply to block the scores I'm not getting now!
