Only just noticed whilst deciding who to entrust with the armband.


Gameweek 21 has been changed.

Now Burnley v Luton kick off Gameweek 21 on Friday 12th January. (Tonight)

Team sheets need to be handed in by 6.15pm.

You need to be quick off the mark. Only a fluke I noticed. 🥺🤬

Mercifully after what seemed an eternity Gameweek 21 has finally drawn to a close. 👏👏👏

A great read again Rosie, thank you! And well done on your silver medal!

Turned out ok in the end despite a last minute captain change from Palmer to Saka and an early week disaster after buying Bowen due to price rises, and getting Haaland back for a hit, then Trent getting injured, which would have meant a 12 point hit to repair damage, so decided to use the wildcard I was hoping to save for later date, and thankfully got a bit lucky. I'm sure I'll be nosediving very soon!

[MissWinnie]

Sam, I've left you a PM

[picasso]

Thanks you Rosie for yet another very comprehensive report on what was a seemingly never ending week. Congratulations to both you and Winnie for your great scores. It’s been, and continues to be a very tricky few weeks with major players not in the squads.

[MissWinnie]

Thanks Picasso I'm a bit like you in that I'm more comfortable chasing than being in prime position. As you say, a difficult few weeks to negotiate, so I'm sure there are lots of position reshuffles on their way! It's what keeps it frustratingly interesting though, I guess

[yubbywelch]

Firstly..... another Bosnich on the way to Villa??????

Secondly... I seriously have no idea who to put the armband on this week.. Would love to put on De Bruyne, but feel with the short turn around he will have another 1/2 game coming back from injury..
Watkins.... i want tooooo also, but when ever i give him the nod i get 2 points or he gets a yellow.
I think i am benching SAKA... even though he scored last week, but against pool i don't think he'd be so lucky...

looks like the Keeper gets in then.....

[VillaRosie]

As it’s a quick turnaround I will keep the update relatively short this week.

Thank you so much again, Rosie. You are a

Yubbs, the last two weeks have been the toughest yet re decisions. Ended up making no transfers last week only because I literally didn't have a clue what to do! Please don't jinx Watkins! I feel the same - would love to captain him but ...

Good luck to us all and especially Villa!

[yubbywelch]

i should've gone with Watkins
