    Just woke, see DCL got nothing though I will take those Bamford points.

    I really hoped Calvert-Lewin could get something other than a yellow card from that game, but given the ownership, we can at least take comfort that many other managers are in the same boat.

    Not happy with my team and points, constant defense issues not helping no matter what I do to fix it it backfires. Going to rethink my strategy for GW19.

    I have a plan though not sure if it will work, I am going to have to use pen and paper to right down all the teams playing in GW18 and 19 lol

    Go Brighton a West Ham clean sheet would make my week even worse.

    1-1 now, but not an exciting game, that's for sure…

    Writing down a plan is a good idea. I did so myself before this gameweek, and I have a plan for the upcoming gameweeks. Chilwell returning from injury and Vestergaard now unavailable has made things much more difficult though.

    No, Matip. Seconds before securing a clean sheet!

    Got a slightly greener arrow likely due to the high percentage of teams that includes Liverpool defenders. Will need one soon though.

    Spurs failed, terrible GW in free fall.

    This was a difficult gameweek, I think. With many of the premium players failing to deliver, we had to rely on other players for points.

    Didn't follow the game, but had a text coverage up in one of my browser tabs. From what was written there, Wolves didn't look like scoring – until they did.

    These are the games our respective line ups could be decimated by rotation, DCL rumored to be rested.

    I know… Really don't need any rotation this gameweek, but I'm too afraid of taking a hit as that might backfire too. I got Coufal first on bench – and Anguissa, should more than one player miss out.

    I'm most interested getting this gameweek over with, and start making transfers for gameweek 18/19. Still not completely settled on my plan as I stumbled on a few alternative ways of approaching the blank/double.

    I have gone with Salah as Captain I did initially pick Kane though Fulham really don't concede much.

    Man United scored 4 v Newcastle and Leeds hit five past them surely Liverpool will do the same, Salah brace please. [-O<

    Salah for me too, but mostly because I din't want to overthink my captaincy this gameweek. Could have gone with Son of course, so it was a 50/50 call.

    Really don't know what to expect from this gameweek. It feels like one that might go well, or horribly wrong. I've already made a risky enough move…

    Vardy benched? Interesting; a rest should make him a good option for next gameweek.

    I've been tempted to take hits for many gameweeks now, but have decided against it most of the time. Some of those hits I should have taken, while I've been happy to avoid others.

    Here are the gameweek 16 captaincy picks!
    Salah: 4
    Kane: 3
    Son: 3
    Vardy: 3
    Calvert-Lewin: 2
    Martial: 1
    Maddison: 1
    Fernandes: 1

    No stand-out captaincy pick this gameweek, with Salah just ahead of Kane, Son and Vardy. It's a gameweek where many players can do well, so it's interesting to see who'll get the most points!

    Good luck everyone!

    Wow, didn't see that happening!

    This is a very strong team; I can see all of these players doing well this gameweek. Below is my team – not too different to yours really, but you have the benefit of owning McCarthy, Kane, Dier and Grealish – and a better bench too.

    Martínez
    Chilwell - Dallas - Taylor
    Son - Raphinha - Fernandes - Salah
    Watkins - Calvert-Lewin - Bamford
    (Button - Coufal - Vestergaard - Anguissa)
