Grave Mistake But How Can I Know?

I made a terrible mistake with my team even though I still got 81 points for the weekend in my Fantasy Premier League. I was hoping for more after I watched how devastating Haaland was against the red half of Manchester. United were ripped to shreds and I know as usual, the players would start posting apology tweets online after such heavy beating.

I felt I selected a decent team but I made a mistake of leaving Almiron on the bench. He scored two goals which gave him an impressive tally of 15 points and the three midfielders I used didn't even combine to give me the point only Almiron gave me. I would have to bench Pereira and slot in Almiron into the line up. I need to take advantage of his form and hope he would do something special against Brentford soon.

Haaland gave me 46 points. That's a lot of points from one player and I am happy I took the risk of having him. Manchester United looked like a youth team playing against the first 11. The difference in class and quality can be obvious to everyone. The speed, the confidence, the ability and the delivery showed that Manchester City were the better team. The 3 goals Manchester United scored were flattering because they didn't reflect how one sided that game was. I can't understand some of the decisions of the coach but there is no point crying over spilt milk. We got beaten and deservedly so.

I knew the North London derby would play to my advantage in a way since I have both Harry Kane and Gabriel Jesus. Whoever wins wow still tilt to my advantage and thank God they didn't draw and both strikers scored. I wish they scored more but I would take their points over having ineffective Salah in my team.

What do we do with Liverpool? I'm glad I don't have Salah because he hasn't been in form this season but I think I need Bernado Silva or Kevin De Bruyne in that my midfield. Alisson couldn't give me what I wanted since he conceded 3 whooping goals against Brighton. I feel I need a dominant figure in my midfield to help me with points and I will try and see the things I can shake up to be able to use either Bernado or KDB.

Thank you @olawalium for the ginger to write my review. I didn't want to because I was feeling bad based on the mistake I made. I didn't use bench boost either but as you have said, how can we know these things? Imagine Almiron being in my starting line up, I would have gotten 96 points instead of the 81 points that I got.

Let me go and change a few things in my team. I hope it plays to my advantage this time around.

Cheers.

Gingered Up! ❣️
