Okay trusting Jackson over Isak is going to be the end of me.

Chelsea that was hell!! Got pissed and switched off the TV after at 90mins, logged in on X to drop #EnzoOut hashtag only to see us losing at FT. This bald bastard should leave my club I've seen enough.

Also put Jackson on my other picks. Isak has been good returns. If he didn't get injured forcing me to sub him out all those weeks ago he might have been in my team still but always feel like it is too late to bring him in for his price as I have to sacrifice others to make room.

Thank God for Cunha but leader is now 100 points away from me. Isak all of that really.

But seriously Chelsea w t f.

Is incredible how when i tried to avoid a clearly bad performance of Pickford because of the matches they had ahead it ended up being his best ever consecutive rounds.

8 points against Arsenal
7 points against Chelsea
9 points against City

What a mistake it ended up made him sit in the bench. (clearly it was the correct option anyways nobody was expecting this).

Who could have expected that he would do so good against the 3 big teams currently in the league. Whoever had him on goal was incredible lucky. I think everyone avoided to put him because its just not logical to put him on goal against the big teams. I had Fabianski on goal and he got injured in 35th minute and didnt get a clean sheet and this was crazy just. Now got an injured goalkeeper and a benched goalkeeper for next round so need to act fast to get a good goalkeeper. Wont get Pickford because i dont think he can keep this form going.

Diaz, I guess his going to get some playing minutes from the bench.

Diaz didn't get any minutes; Gakpo was enough to see the game through, especially after that moment of magic in the first goal.

Salah captaincy paid off again with a goal; an assist would have made it juicier, although almost everyone in the pool had him as captain.

Saka against Ipswich would have been the better captain option this week; just very unlucky that he is not going to feature.

I am expecting Arsenal players to get good points tomorrow. I hope there is another Gabriel goal and a clean sheet.

Ouch, every move I made was a bad one.

Haaland for Isak and Havertz - terrible.
Diaz for Saka - terroble considering that Diaz is benched.

Well, at least I didn't captain Haaland. I think almost everybody will have a bad round, but that -4 could have been avoided.

I need Haaland to destroy Leicester, otherwise this will all be one expensive mistake.

Oh! That’s hurts.
I told you it wasn’t a best time to keep trust with Haaland yet and this time, he just started missing penalties. That’s just how bad it is with the over priced City asset at the moment. On the side, I dont see how his going to destroy Leicester City as, you could be rest assured Leicester City would be playing them with hopes to get something out of the match.

Diaz, I guess his going to get some playing minutes from the bench.
I think it’s high time I look towards doing something about Wood, he seems to have lost his sight on goal. I left Cunha on the bench and it feels bad already. Still with some decent points though.

Duran entered the squad already with a red card (-2) points. Didn't think this would happen because he usually scores a few goals.
I don't know what he did because I didn't watch the Aston Villa game.

Soft red for me, he stepped onto a player after duel but there was no intention there for me. I wouldn't even give him a card.

Fernades with the red as well now. I am sure someone got him as Saka replacement. My choice Sarr didn't do much but 3 points are still much better than 0 and suspension.

I did get Bruno Fernandes for Saka because I was thinking of the long term play and didn't want to bother about transfer desperately for the next few rounds, but f*ck me says Bruno... I don't think I'll be transferring him out, I'll make do with Rogers for the next game week, his fixture seem to be better btw.

I have bruno so you can guess i am feeling . I dont know what is wrong with him got -2 from him Amad also 2 points only just awful. I hate so much this Man Utd players. Haaland with a missed penalty is just crazy,he is in a such a bad form. I got Isak in this round and both him and Cunha saved me some points this round

Yeah. I feel really shitty.

After the new year, he won't be on my team.

You have so much faith in him my friend, just way too much faith in the guy and sincerely, I really feel you should have let him off way back in GW16. The guy has been nothing short of a disappointment and you’re letting him take back from you all that he contributed at the start of the season. He did great but, it’s high time someone else tries something. I feel like now is a more better time as sometime in the new year, Manchester City would be looking to get back up. Just a guys feeling I’ve got. Missed a penalty today, the Haaland that has always got his eyes on goal, misses a golden opportunity and even an assist from a rebounce.

Alexander Isak has done a good job over the last 5 games, I think I'll keep Alexander Isak.

Painful wasn't it in the 90+5th minute. Grin

Palmer said - we're not going to win every game, so naturally Chelsea were still good tonight just unlucky. LOL

I saw the hashtag #EnzoOut maybe they're a bit upset. Cheesy

Ahhh man, incredible, you went much more far away than me (making him captain). I still have him waiting for his comeback, but still doind nothing for weeks.

Now also missing penalties, is just incredible.

I dont really know what to think anymore.

Thought this would have been a turning point for Manchester City playing againt a less tougher opponent like Everton...but to throw away a lead and for Haaland to fail to convert that Penalty this will be tough on their mentality. O doubt about this!!

Haaland had the only chance but failed to convert it into a goal, for him Haaland was dumped a few weeks ago from my team because he didn't feel comfortable anymore.

Not working out for your Haaland so far though, eh? I ended up Maddison replacing Saka. Just had to rush it.

City with one goal, but not Haaland yet; Haaland with the opportunity to score, but was stopped by Pickford! oops!

Every other game feels like it could be the turning point for Man City and they'd flip the switch to get their season on course again, but it's really not getting any better for them to be honest, and after this game it doesn't seem like there is an end in sight, this team is probably done!

There is a phrase, reasons to live give reasons to die... I mean it's going awfully wrong right now, and has been for many weeks, and that's him basically playing against the entire pool, if he had managed to get a few right, it would have been significant, but the other captain choices have been doing numbers so maybe it wouldn't have mattered much given the budget the Norwegian costs.

Actually agree with cryptofrka. If I run out of time next GW I might just bring Haaland back and massively change my squad just to use up the Wild Card for the sake of it. I like my squad, but the run of games for City and others look so tempting to try a spamfest for City. The WC seems wasted not used.

Not taking any hit this GW, I have only 1FT and can't get in Isak without taking a hit first. Could probably get Jota or Roll the transfer and get Isak in GW 19.

Not having a single Arsenal attacker against Ipwish feels like a suicidal.

Then again, without Saka, you might have to rely on a defender to get a header in... Ipswich could prove to be tricky Boxing Day opponents.

Pep occasionally tinkers with his squad in 'unimaginable' ways. Does anybody think there's a possibility of him benching Haaland and playing without a no. 9?

Drastic results call for drastic measures, and considering that I just reshuffled my team to be able to fit Haaland in, it would be a really funny thing to see Grin

Brave move. I think Haaland plays 100%. They are on their lowest point under Pep ever and he isn't gonna remove his best goal scorer just for fun. His second best goal scorer is Gvardiol so it isn't like he has some gems in form to try out against weaker opposition.

I am curious to see how many people in the pool gave their trust to City assets for this run of fixtures. I briefly considered Foden and Haaland, decided they are too expensive for what they are producing. Gvardiol is probably worth it its price tag but my defense is already super strong and I didn't need another expensive player there.

I really would have loved to have City assets for their run of fixtures If had the right amount of transfers to fit them in, but I wouldn't do anything crazy to get them, neither would consider a triple asset from them, I would just go with assets that could have decent impact if they find their groove, and little negative impact if they still struggle. My choice would have been Gvardiol and Rico Lewis/Akanji... I still won't touch Haaland because of how much budget he command.

------

I decided to go with Bruno Fernandes for Saka in my team because he's a better long term should-have imo, I don't want to start tinkering between different choices week in week out, and would rather focus the my future transfers towards other part (more likely defense) of my squad.
