I moved up this week - still in the running :D
Yea it went better for me on sunday and saved my ass a bit, getting close to back in top100.
Poor week for with all red arrow. It was blunder for by me to double up Everton’s defender and siggy had been complete waste of 8million.
honestly its nearly impossible to trust any defense in the prem at the moment
I agree, I've been going 3-5-3 each GW.
I cant tell if this is squads settling into teams or gonna be a permanent fixture of the season time will tell
Very interesting approach. I will be observing you

Man i messed up this week. Transferred Van Aanholt out for Everton defenders. And then i brought in Martial as well. Hopefully this weeks doesn't turn out as bad.
Game on .This is why the premier league is interesting
