Disaster. Utter f**king disaster. What was I thinking of ? AND leaving Lukaku on the bench?!?!? Wha? I must have been off my head on something at the time.
Can't get over it.........................and it's only Week 1. Feel like chucking it in already.
AND I can see what is going to happen next...................Lukaku is going to have a wonderful start by scoring a hat-trick and earning a gazillion points. Rub salt into the would - bound to happen.
As for Fabregas - well, f**k him.
First of all - don't chuck it in. It's week 1.
There's also nothing wrong with your team - Batshitboy is a good pick (I had him in my team GW1 last season). All you did was play Fuchs instead of Lukaku. Which is strange, but it's only one player. Buying a Stoke defender is also a bit strange, but nevertheless I don't think it's an 'utter f**king disaster'. That team will get you good points.

Unsure as to who would start, I used my bench boost chip, which for the first time actually helped: Hegazi and Zanka scored well.
My other GW1 punts didn't work out: Fabregas, Speroni, Solanke and Gamez.
Van Aanholt and Zaha were also negatives: the former for his gloryhunting wanderings across the pitch and the latter because he is a marked man. Every opposition team will try to disable him - he left the ground on crutches yesterday and I can't see him avoiding a serious injury, sooner or later.
So.. with all this in mind and unsure as to my future capability to get online, I've wildcarded.
Have fun people and be nice to each other.
I'm intrigued by this SSTT. Your profile says you're in Southampton, not Mosul. Why are you unsure about your future capacity to get online?
I have to say I think you wasted your bench boost chip.

Swings and roundabouts. Took out Eriksen, brought in Lukaku, then gave him the captain's armband from Kane.
Back in 4th.
That could be your lot from Lukaku for three or four weeks. Kane had two reasonable attempts and hit the post so I can't complain.
What do you think of the pricing? It used to be that a good fifth mid was out of the question - at the moment it looks like a good fourth is out too.
I think they've made the game less enjoyable. I played around with the transfers yesterday and I can't put together a good team - it's about three mill too much.
