2 league wins in a row and play-offs are still very much within reach 💪
🏅 FA Cup 4th round tie vs Brentford to look forward to.
🏆 FA Trophy 4th round tie vs Woking next up on Tuesday.
Enjoy the highs and stomach the lows. Being a football fan is fun! (Unlike #FPL this week!)
Come on you Silkmen!

Semenyo starts 👍
Cunha benched 👎
Hoping the weekend's matches will provide clarity on a replacement.
Seriously considering Gibbs-White as a differential with 5 nice fixtures.
Rice would be the sensible/obvious/slightly boring pick.
Can't afford Bruno F unless I downgrade someone else too.

2FTs, £0.8m itb
🧢 Haaland
🌎 741k
Think I'm just rolling. Would like to bin Cunha but a) would need to move on a City asset too, and b) not 100% on who I want instead: Bruno F, Rice, Enzo/Neto, Gibbs-White, Rogers...even Mbeumo is an option.
Deferring my decision = another GW of info 🤔

Ooo I'll take it! Top flight opposition that should rest some key players. Another home tie...probably guaranteed TV spot...unlikely to be a 10-1 mauling.

Its still sinking in...can't believe my side produced the greatest FA Cup upset ever.
Hopes for the 4th round draw...another Premier League side, maybe one that will play a second string team. Like Newcastle or West Ham.
Please not Wrexham!!

Wow. Still in shock.
A brilliant gutsy performance from a club in mourning.
Palace were poor.
We were effective and wanted it more.

I am £0.3m short of doing Cunha -> Bruno F.
Which downgrade do you prefer:
1. Alisson -> Sanchez
2. O'Reilly -> Robinson/Collins/Senesi
3. Semenyo -> Enzo/Wilson/Tavernier

O'Reilly benched, he has looked knackered to be fair. Going forwards I'm likely to keep him ... he will be my route back to Muñoz.
Could get someone else in the meantime, but bit bored of making all these defensive transfers.

2 dilemmas:
1. Switch out Alisson for...who? Or just play Dubravka this week, Alisson next, and then reassess?
2. Switch out Van Dijk for...who? Or just play him and reassess later? I am not enamoured with possible replacements...Timber? Robinson? Chalobah? Anyone else?

Its Half-Time in the #FPL Season. Time for some rambly reflections:
No.1 - CAPTAINCY
I went against Haaland 4 times:
👎 Watkins in GW1
👍 Saka in GW2
👎 Salah in GW14
👎 Saka in GW16 (Free Hit)
And when I say "went against" I mean properly against i.e. didn't even own Haaland in any of those 4 weeks.

🌎 1.47m ⬆️ 1.23m
#GW20 bus team 🚍 looks ok-ish but would like Gabriel just not sure who for? Calafiori makes sense I suppose but happy to bin NOR or VVD instead.
Others on watchlist include Bowen, Rogers, Watkins, Palmer, Saka...no rush on any of them though.
