Tbh, I haven't looked at fixtures yet, but I'll sort out the Spreadsheet in the next day or so; but those defenders will be fixture-proof....

Here we go with the current Squad and I'm still looking at an early BB, but it may not be until GW3. I have gone boring and used a combination of the most owned players and the easiest fixtures ie BHA are in deep doggy doo if they do not start well....

Meslier
Sanchez

TAA
Tsimikas
Shaw
Periera
Ayling

Salah
Bruno
Rapinha
Soucek
Bissouma

Ings
Antonio
Maupay

Is this how Higher/Lower works?

2. Work out how to have a lower number of matching players next game week? :lol:

GW1 XI:

Sanchez I'm genuinely not sure here, so in theory I should go with the higher owned BHA Fister?

TAA
Tsimikas
Shaw
Periera

Salah
Bruno
Rapinha
Soucek

Ings
Antonio

Meslier, as above, but he will be No1 long term.
Maupay - it's him or Soucek, who may not start for WHam -
Ayling - surely MU will score?
Bissouma - my cheap midfield bod, who I hope will get something in the BB of GW2 or 3.

Obviously this is a VERY STRANGE line up, as it is VERY TEMPLATE; so I'm almost totally unexcited by it is I don't really care if most of them perform or not....

I would like to get BHA's Duffy (4m) for Ayling, as he will stop an easy hop to Bamford should Ings or Antonio break in the first few GW's. But will Duffy start the first 3 GW's? (Bissouma can then become Gilmour.)

Meslier starts over the cheapo, who is only there for the BB.

Well GW1 is going well with the 2 WHam boys to go with the 88 points in the bag.

With no injuries planned for GW2 the only decision is whether to BB and if not who to bench.

I am increasing less likely to go straight this GW ie the BB is more likely.

1, it was part of Plan A, and nowt has gone wrong so far.
2, 2 FTs after the BB is handy to start having a dead 2nd GK and 3rd sub. However, this makes a WC GW4 a tad daft, but I've not really considered what I want except vague ideas of Lpool3 atb, no Salah, but with Lulu. Someone on here posted that Robbo is running in training so could be back in GW4.
3, All this involves thought and I genuinely took only a few mins to knock out this 15 and I was moaning about it being boring yesterday, when maybe that is the point. It should be boring? Template with a few good differentials........

Just a few notes for my non-memory....

How good are Soton, Everton, Villa and Wolves and to a lesser extent Brighton and Burnley?

Tsimithing and Robbo could rise and fall respectively.

Work out how to get Greenwood, Lulu and Lpool3 for Salah plus, while keeping Bruno.

GW4 absentees - when will we know?

2FTs for GW3 then WC?

Review 4 Tiers.

Son to Salah looks really tempting if Salah is not available for GW4 vs Leeds as Son plays Watford and Palace, while Mosa Lah only has Chelski....

I have little idea about the other FT, or whether to use it atm as I am still trying to work out whether to WC in GW3 for 4 or transition to a poat BB Squad.

I am also struggling with staying "template" ie Mosa Lah and 2 Lpool Defs, or go with my "dream" of the Lpool3 atb allowing Bruno to be Perma-Capt and have Lulu shouting to be Banded.

And not taking it seriously, while aspiring to not throwing it away too quickly.

I am resisting the temptation to go VvD, TAA and Robbo atb with Bruno and Lulu as Premiums :wink:
