A yellow card against Liverpool and he’ll have an enforced rest against Fulham

Could be a good shout that, there is a guy on twitter who outright is 26k and he using his TC on Werner this week, even though has KDB and Salah
This whole season has been a project of risk management. I just don’t see the value in taking unnecessary risk.

Surely, managing through the problems so far, and the inevitable ones to come is the optimal strategy?

I don’t see the need to chase for differentials, especially one like Werner.
I’d argue that owning Werner is the differential. Only about 10% of teams have him so any points you gain will help your ranking without needing to the take unnecessary risk

Probably saving the triple captain though.

Bruno is 1 yellow card away from a ban and him being the prick he is he’ll probably get it in the Liverpool game

You wasted FH last week, so thinking of wasting TC now? And then all the remaining chips too? Image
Yes sir. Haha my free hit looked so good honestly and then it scored 49 when my original team would’ve scored 35 was a killer
That’s just one penalty miss away from being an excellent game week - decent team, one unfortunate outcome.

The point is that the TC Chip is completely separate event and last week’s outcome should play no part in your decision this week
Exactly why I’m playing it. I’m going to wildcard and bench boost in the next DGW. The killer is just who do I captain out of Salah and Kev 😭

I'm going Vardy/Bruno.

I don't trust that the City-Villa fixture won't be cancelled.. (but that's not really based on anything).

But you do trust Vardy's groin to hold up to 2 games in 4 days?

Well Brendan Rodgers has said he’s ‘blessed genetically’, and he can’t be talking about his face...

I at least have nothing to lose so I might as well enjoy a bit of a gamble.

This I love. 8-) Briefly considered it myself but didn't have the John Stones to go through with it. Hope he gets you a ridiculous haul.

De Bruyne (C) Salah (V) for me. I decided not to play TC after much consideration, although I can't think what ultimately put me off it*cough*Stevieste*cough*.

GW19 Captain & Triple Captain Stats

73AB2BFC-1903-464A-9BC4-23E065401D7F.jpeg

Very even between Salah and De Bruyne.
De Bruyne shades it on Triple Captaincy
EO for each is 68% for Mo, 55% for Kevin. Fernandes is higher than both at 77%.
In the Top 10K all three have EO above 100% :shock:

Really, what was I thinking. Triple captaining a defender who will play against West Bromwich Albion...

Well you could have TC’d Kun. He might build on his 31 minutes and no contributions in the last 11 game weeks. You never know, by the end of 19 he might be up to 5 minutes a game :lol:
