I suspect increased Covid disruption is about to become a thing again.

Broke my losing streak thanks to Tierney getting subbed before Everton scored.

i seem to be second in the H2H league

Jota injured, covid uncertainties increasing, 6.30pm deadline tonight.

Not easy to make decisions in these circumstances, not easy for me to avoid spending a minimum of 8 points on transfers.

Pissing hell; spent the past couple of weeks fire fighting injuries and postponed matches, and now Cancelo goes and gets 7 points but also a yellow card which means he's suspended for the next match

 

[Lord Camomile]

Blimey, meanwhile and probably even more frustrating, doubt there are a huge number of players who have Aubameyang any more, but those that do can't be happy he's got himself dropped from today's squad for "a disciplinary breach".

At least its an opportunity for me to actually play whoever I replace Reguilon with for the next (mid-week) games.

In addition to his very poor form, he has a history of being punished for stuff like turning up late. And now his relationship with the manager has probably gone to shit.

Balls, I was really tempted to get Mount in to deal with Jota injury this week, but for once I resisted spending that many points on transfers. I should just do these moves and stick to my usual style of play.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Had three players in the pre-3pm k/o, they got me 25 points.

Have since had seven more players' matches start, adding a sum total of 4 points in the first halves

tbf, three of those seven ain't likely to play at all

 

[starfish]

Dont think it will be too long until i play my wildcard. Too many underperformers.

You've only got till the gameweek 20 deadline to play your first wildcard anyway. Unless of course you are on about the 2nd wildcard.

I have a feeling you may still win your H2H though.

First, but i have often only used one.

We'll see, but fair, rough weekend for a lot of people so far.

 

[Lord Camomile]

"On comes Diogo Jota."

Uh-oh, this is where we find out how my bench management comes off. Played Jota over Smith-Rowe, as figured the Liverpool man was less likely to play but more likely to do something if he did.

So far, he's up by 1 on ESR

8 of my squad played this week

leicester get 4 and vardy doesn't get off the bench

hmph

Sucks doesn't it. I had Pinnock and Vardy in my team + James returned nil pois.
I do have Raphinha to come in off the bench so should still finish on 66 points.

 

[belboid]

I reckoned one of Smith Rowe & Jota would play so risked both in the team with a cert as sub. That worked out okay, only 1 point for Jota but 8 for Jansson.

Then there’s bloody Manquilo (-1), bloody Rodgers anti-Vardy agenda and swapping Toney out, but for Benteke. Benteke? Wtf was I thinking?

Selling Gallagher for Bowen was a disaster for me and now more disasters loom:

Manchester United have recorded a number of positive Covid tests among players and staff following their 1-0 win at Norwich on Saturday.

The club has reported the cases to the Premier League and their match at Brentford on Tuesday is now in some doubt.
It is understood that all players tested negative before the Norwich game.

But a number of players tested positive before training on Sunday morning.

My subs took me up to a reasonable 82 points & may have sneaked me a 1 point win

74 points from 9 players, not bad.

Bloody hell, I thought I'd done alright to get out of that GW with 60 points!

Actually, that said, some time over the weekend I did notice that there were many match-ups in the H2H where I would have come out the loser, so got lucky there.
