The exciting times are upon us and the last gameweek was a great example. What a comeback it was by Spurs, 3 goals in 6 minutes. That was quicker than the first time most of you guys…. umm nevermind.

Welcome back guys to The FPL-Ville. You may not have missed the blog because of the midweek action, or rather, in general either! So as I mentioned in the ‘asking for questions’ post, this volume will feature content of 2 gameweeks, 30 and 31, and a preview of 32.

Leicester City, what in the world have you guys eaten since that conspiracy to have Ranieri sacked? You do know that steroids are illegal right? But hey, I won’t complain, I’m not Klopp!

Gameweek 30:

So, it was a small red arrow in which my team scored 47 points. It was a pretty blank gameweek point-scoring wise. Dropped to 542k from 525k . No biggie.

As I said above, everyone blanked other than CSs from Mawson and Valencia and a goal from Vardy. Nothing really excited happened in GW30 other than the Chelsea Crystal Palace game. I genuinely thought that Palace had lost it and lost it bad after the kinda lucky early goal from Cesc. My Vardy punt paid off nicely. I do regret keeping Brunt the last on the bench but who would’ve known prior to the result that WBA would’ve kept the cleanie. Hey Arsenal fans with Sanchez in their teams reading this, here’s another reason to hate Wenger. He’s playing fucking Welbeck upfront. Who in the right mind shifts a player to the wings who’s doing exceptionally well at No. 9. As a United fan, as much as I want Wenger to stay and watch the Arsenal fam burn in agony, I want him to be sacked immediately and Welbeck and Giroud’s contracts to be terminated with immediate effect. Okay enough ranting now.

Gameweek 31:

GW31 was a decent one thanks to Spurs’ comeback in Fergie time. Scored 53 points and a decent green arrow , from 542k to 514k . Was pretty happy to see myself inch closer and closer to moving out of the 500k zone, it’s been 4 GWs that I’m looming around that rank. And you guys don’t have to worry about the transfer, I saved it.

Nothing interesting happened in the defence other than VALENCIA WAS FUCKING RESTED!! Alonso was auto-subbed in for him. Tottenham conceded a goal which I did not expect, wiping off my Walker cleanie. Just about when I was expecting something from Brunt, WBA decided to switch off defensively and conceded two goals against Watford. But gotta admit, the Niang goal was awesome. I was almost going to smash my phone to pieces and burn my laptop so I could not access FPL in whichever way possible for benching Mawson and keeping him at the end. But just as I was about to bring out the sledge hammer like Triple H in a Wrestlemania event, I saw Spurs score 2 quick goals to wipe out Mawson’s clean sheet.

Another good moment was to realise that I did not captain Sanchez. If you guys remember, he got a hattrick and an assist in the reverse fixture which earned him 23 points. That was a hurtful week for me, GW14. Anyhoo, coming back to the present, Siggy blanked for the 3rd straight game, and honestly, I didn’t expect anything from him either this gameweek. Moving on, Liverpool’s Bournemouth woes continued as the Cherries came back to draw the game 2-2 and King scored! Cherry on the top indeed. Got me a good 7 points. Eriksen was the star man this gameweek scoring 13 points, 11 of those in just 6 minutes. Here’s to hoping that he continues the form. Okay, I’m slowly starting to regret my Tadic differential punt. Didn’t have much faith in him anyways… Oh! Now I realise how my dad must feel. Damn. The feels….

Well Lukaku blanked for the second time in a row, expected both, which makes it even clearer who to transfer out for Ibra. The Vardy Party raved on with him scoring yet another goal and got all 3 Bonus Points.

Coming to GW32:

I have made 4 transfers and expect them to pay off big time. Taken a -8 because YOLO!

OUT: Lukaku, Llllllllllllorente, Brunt, Siggy.

IN: Ibrahimovic, Barnes, Stephens, Alli.

Some of you may call the Alli move stupid as Kane is expected back the GW but I don’t think Poch will play him straight away and risk him, especially with the FA Cup semis against Chelsea coming up in about 2 weeks time.

Here’s how the team looks:

I’ve finally completed the complete switch to a 3-5-2 in the future with Barnes coming in. But this isn’t the week to implement it. Going with a 4-4-2.

There are quite a few captain picks for this gameweek but I’m going with Zlatan. United have the best away form currently and Sunderland have the worst at home. So it’s a sensible pick as of now. But there is still time before the deadline and I am leaning towards shifting the armband to Alli. Watford’s defence is in trouble as of now with the majority of first choices absent or are doubts, including the keeper. I think the rest of the team is decent. Hopefully Stephens doesn’t get rotated as feared and Chelsea don’t concede as they have in the last 8 GWs.

Q&A Time:

Nothing? Well then. Moving on…..

The players to watch section I had included in the last volume won’t feature this week as I have exams coming up in about a week’s time. I will, though, include it in the pre-DGW edition and I plan to include some stats in it, the thing I didn’t in the previous one.

As always, thanks guys for taking the time out to read this. Leave a like/comment if you like it, thanks again for that and I’ll be back soon.
