    Still undecided what to do with my team this gameweek. A couple of transfers, a hit and even wildcard is still under consideration. Will be away tomorrow, so I won't be able to update the thread with the captaincy picks until Sunday.

    Worst possible start my Spurs defender has been sent off so my points are currently - 2. Also Spurs were on there way to a clean sheet.

    I have not taken a hit yet though likely lost 8 points from that player alone Gr.

    Ronaldo starts as a lone striker along side Greenwood and Sancho.

    Thankfully captain Bruno got a goal though it was all about Ronny today, bad GW for me.

    A bit late, but here are the gameweek 4 captaincy picks!
    Fernandes: 9
    Ronaldo: 4
    Salah: 4
    Antonio: 3
    Kane: 2
    Grealish: 1
    Jota: 1
    Pogba: 1
    Vardy: 1
    Lukaku: 1

    With only two games left this gameweek, we know the score of many of these players. Fernandes is by far the most captained player in our league this gameweek, with nine managers giving him the armband. Fernandes and Ronaldo owners are no doubt happy with the points gained yesterday, as both got goals and bonus points. Antonio owners on the other hand must feel very unlucky with a red card and minus points from a player in great form…

    All eyes on Salah and Jota today, in their away game against Leeds!

    Just took a 12 point hit to get Ronaldo in, had two players on Red and 3 players that don't even start and get no points had to be done.

    Oh dear Jesus that was a bad injury on Elliot.

    Really bad injury. Didn't see how Struijk's hit his leg, but from what I've read from Twitter comments, it looked like an accidental one.

    That's early! Too little funds to spare to wait until team news? There's CL and EL next week as well.

    Any price rises I would be stuck, being more relaxed this season about FPL will make moves when I need to. I would have been lucky to field 9 players next GW.

    Break looked accidental, not even sure it was a Red Card.

    That makes sense then. Could you have avoided a 12 point hit if getting Lukaku instead? Trickier fixtures ahead for Chelsea of course, but they're capable of creating chances against anyone.

    Could the card be overturned then?

    I think Ronaldo and Lukaku will be fixture proof, either one will keep ticking over with goals despite the opposition.

    With Antonio suspended and the state of my team I needed a striker in, I am going without Bruno though got a good replacement and also I can always swap Bruno for salah if needed.

    Not sure about the Red card being rescinded, though it appears the shock of the situation influenced the decision.

    My GW... Antonio and Tangana sent off - 4 points.
    DCL and Christianson benched did not feature.
    DCL injured.
    My bench has a measily 1 point each for players coming on, the other players on bench 0 points.
    What a disasterous GW 43 points and a team in a mess, hopefully my 12 point hit will pay off though I still have DCL who is now injured until October and still stuck with Tsimikas, Moder and Mbeumo on my bench.
    X_X

    I am considering making 3 more transfers for a 24 point hit to fix my team.

    Edited: made two more transfers so a - 20 point hit. May as well fix my team now and got players in with good fixtures, my previous team would have got me no points over the coming weeks. Drastic measures needed for drastic situations.

    Indeed, both should be able to deliver, no matter the opposition.

    I think we will have to rotate between the premiums this season. Bruno might not be the go-to option right now, but that can easily change.

    Yes, from what I've read afterwards, that seems to be the case re. the red card. I saw a tweet mentioning Elliot saying that the challenge wasn't a red.

    That's a lot of bad luck in a single gameweek! Moder and Mbeumo are playing options, so you could have just benched DCL to avoid the additional hit(s), but I guess the -20 point hit can set your team up nicely for the gameweeks ahead.

    Moder and Mbeumo have done absolutely nothing so already transferred out Mbeumo.

    Some of my decision making early season has been poor though this GW cant even be blamed on that its just one of those things, easily one of my worst GW's since I started playing the game 3 years ago.

    I am happy with the players I brought in hope they pay off in the coming weeks.

    Gameweek 4 was exciting, as it was the return of Ronaldo to United. And those that jumped at the chance to bring him in early was rewarded with two goals and three bonus points. Several managers in our league captained him as well, pushing the points total from Ronaldo to 26 points. Our gameweek winner, CFC, had Ronaldo as well as other assets such as Fernandes, Pogba and Alexander-Arnold, bringing their gameweek total up to an impressive 81 points. Congratulations! =D>

    It's difficult to know what to expect from cheaper options like Moder and Mbeumo. They make for decent bench fodders of course.

    We all get those terrible gameweeks now and then. I've had a few of those in later seasons as well, where neither the captain pick or the rest of the team has delivered. To make matters worse, the bench has usually been high scoring in those gameweeks!

    If the players you've brought in have decent fixtures as well as form, you might see some very good gameweek scores in the coming weeks. :-)

    Here are the gameweek 5 captaincy picks!
    Salah: 9
    Lukaku: 5
    Fernandes: 4
    Ronaldo: 3
    Grealish: 1
    Pépé: 1
    Aubameyang: 1
    Vardy: 1
    Alexander-Arnold: 1
    Bamford: 1

    We have a varied group of captains this gameweek, all of which has good chances of delivering points. The most popular captaincy pick is Salah, backed by nine managers. Lukaku is also a popular option, backed by five of us. Good luck everyone!
    Dam been weight lifting in gym completely forgot about the deadline.

    Came close to forgetting the deadline too, but I was fortunate to see a tweet from the official FPL account on Twitter, which reminded me that the deadline had almost passed. Had decided which transfer to make though, so it was just a matter of doing it.

    I almost switched to Ronaldo though Salah at home and his current form, I would be kicking myself if he hauled.

    Considered taking out Antonio for Bamford, but decided on benching Antonio, bringing in Semedo for Veltman instead…

    I took a gamble on a few Wolves defenders hope it pays off.
