Gameweek 8 - Gaining Lost Ground

Results from Gameweek 7:



Although I scored a measly 44 points this week. I think I did okay in comparison with the top 20% of players in Gameweek 7. There are a lot of should haves/ifs but I'm not going to be bothered by that.

I made 2 early changes for Gameweek 8 before news broke that Wilson will be out for up to 6 months. Hence, I did not manage to transfer him out as I did not want to take a hit on points. As it is, I'm bringing in 2 players, thus I'll have a -4 deduction this gameweek,

I transferred out Mings for Dann.

Dann has been a solid Crystal Palace defender for the past few games. In addition, he is merely owned by less than 4%. With a decent price and good fixtures. I do expect some cleansheets and if I'm lucky, a goal or two.

I transferred out Chadli for Redmond.

Chadli has fallen through the pecking order and he might not get regular game time. I do not want a player who comes in at the last 20 minutes only to play a defensive role. Hence, I switched him for the more dynamic Redmond who has been red-hot this season.

My current rank lies around the top 15% but I'm aiming to finish in the top 10% after this gameweek.

The obvious choice of captain this week is Aguero. I don't think there is any debate on that.
