It will get worse, before it gets better? I certainly hope not!  Gameweek 26 led to a 4th consecutive red arrow.  Only once have I seen green in 2016.  I need that to change, pronto.  The purchase of Baines a few weeks back was nothing but a failure on my part.  This hasn't been helped by the fact that Targett and Oxford sit on my bench, which resulted in my team only fielding 10 players over the weekend with a score of 59.  I really should have captained Aguero too.

 

Looking ahead... aside from form, I wanted to sell a player who had a blank in Gameweek 27 and buy a player who didn't.  Baines' no-shows have proven costly to my team - all the more worse with Everton keeping clean sheets.  I have no plans of selling off my front 7 just yet, so I had to focus on my rickety defence. Azpilicueta made sense as Chelsea have started to keep clean sheets (albeit more so away) and Newcastle have struggled to score on the road.

 

As for my captain, 6 goals in his last 4 PL games and penchant to score goals against Spurs (even with their recent solid away form) it had to be Aguero.

 

Here's to hoping.  Sorry in advance if I mess up (again)!

Chief's #FPL Team - Gameweek 26

  Latest Rank: 

54k (1k rise)

 

  Transfers*:

Given IN / Hamer OUT (2FTs intact)

Bank Balance: 

£0.4M

*Courtois has a probable chance of not starting. I didn't want to sell him, so sought a replacement for Hamer. I could have got Krul (home v City) and was 0.1 short of getting Green. In the end I opted for Given due to his good performance in the FA Cup, him praising Sherwood in the press, Sherwood's first official game and they were both teammates. Worst case scenario, neither Courtois or Given start and I lose out, so be it, I guess - no other GK transfers made sense.

Notes:

I need to stop benching strikers. They score every time I bench them! On this occasion Cazorla is my sub1. 2 GWs from 2 points indicates that he's being overshadowed by Theo, Ozil, Sanchez, etc. With Defoe being a doubt, Santi could still sub on for me, but I'm not expecting Defoe to start or for Santi to do much. As for my captain it came down to Aguero, Kane and Hazard. Aguero has Barcelona during the week, so may have to take it easy or play less minutes. Hazard played on Tuesday.  As for Kane, he played on Thursday for a brief 24 minutes. With questions over Allardyce's long term future, Kane's sensational form and having no other Sunday players, it sort of made sense to pick Kane.
