I take your point but I didn't really make any sacrifices to get Costa, Falcao and Aguero - I don't want Hazard or Fabregas or Sanchez or any of the more expensive mids. I didn't even want Sterling as he's a poor finisher.
I've made a couple of mistakes: I shouldn't have swapped Loris for Heaton. That's cost me 17pts despite Loris only getting one clean sheet since I sold him. And I shouldn't have bought McGeady. He's a great player and a goalscorer but has hardly been used.
An Everton defender would have been nice this weekend but if I had the funds I would have bought a Chelsea defender and the truth is it would have been Azpiliqueta who got a straight red.
This week's results are flukey in that they matched a certain template team that a lot of people have - not so much in our league but elsewhere. Some of the braggarts on the fantasy scout forum are going bananas about how they've predicted the performance of tadic etc., but four assists is a fluke result against a team that gave up and won't happen again.
On the other hand Falcao has looked very threatening in all of his appearances (didn't see last night) and has great movement and will score a hat trick this season.

Another week they could all score a hatful & you're laughing
That's sort of my point. It's basically bingo. Trying to see as many games as possible, reading match reports, looking at stats etc., doesn't really count for much.
