Round 3 and 4 I was saved on the final day with a good captain choice each (Bowen and Kane). Next round could be a nail-biter again with probably KDB vs Kane captain choice.
Made it through to the next round despite Kane's poor performance. From originally more than 2m I am now down to last 16k. However, next round will be very tricky. Can CR7 finally deliver? I am not sure whom to captain.

Overall - GW26 - round of 8192

Up against an active team who's on a 10 week green arrow tear. Similar teams - he has a FH &TC left so chances we both TC Salah. It will be down to our few differences :?

Thanks :D

Oppo has helped me as much as they can by taking a -24 to my -4. Their team is possibly a bit stronger with more dblers - much depends on this City-Spurs game in which I have 3 to their 1. They also did Mane(tc) to my Salah(tc). All to play for but I have a decent shot :)

We have enough differences that they could do it.

Hanging on. Could have done without Mane's late plunder.

Me 124(-4)
Ramsdale
White
Coady

Oppo 146(-24)
Ramsdale
Saiss
Jimenez

0-0 would work but not feeling particularly confident.

Involved in a TC vs WC classic in India Cup. Up 134(-4) to 123 but he has 3 more players in the Ars-Wol game.

Me: Ramsdale, Saiss, Saka
Him: Tierney, Saiss, Saka, Sa, Jimenez, Lacazette

For me it looks more comfortable in the Chelsea cup. It is also TC vs FH, with the score 154 (-4) to 113, and he gets Raphinha (7) from the bench. But I still fear some of his players.

Me: Ramsdale Coady Jimenez
Him: Ramsdale Kilman Gabriel ESR Jimenez

30 is a comfortable lead, but a CS for Arsenal and I would start worrying.

Good luck to all still involved in the cups.

What a rollercoaster..

1) Level on points at 1-1,
2) Jimenez gets a YC, I go 1 point ahead,
3) Lacazette scores, head in hands,
4) Changed to OG, Sa OG and 2 goals conceded cancels Laca assist.

I win by 1 point! :mrgreen:
