How were the weekend actions for everyone? Mine was a bit disappointing for my Fantasy Premier League. I have more players with a lot of points sitting on the bench again with some starters not giving me the needed points. At this point, I need a seer that would see into the future to tell me which player to use and which one to keep on the bench.
Manchester City v Fulham.
Manchester City survived an early scare after Cancelo was shown a red card for denying a goal-bound opportunity with infringement. Fulham took the lead and who else to take it than Andreas Pereira? Sadly, I had him on the bench because I felt Manchester City would blow them out of the waters and yet again, I was proved wrong. I would have used him in place of Bernado if I had the magic wand. Erling Haaland came off the bench and scored a penalty that Kevin De Bruyne won late into the game. Even with a red card, Fulham couldn't hold on despite the controversial late penalty.
Chelsea v Arsenal.
Arsenal; the in-form team of the moment that sits pretty at the top of the table showed Chelsea why they are at the top of the table. Aubameyang couldn't get one over his former team. A lot of Arsenal fans mocked him and a single goal from Gabriel sealed the win. Potter Graham isn't finding life easy at the start of his managerial career at Chelsea. He needs to arrest the situation but it won't be easy. They are playing Manchester City next in their EFL Cup. Another loss would bring more scrutiny to him. I kept Saliba on the team but took Gabriel out only for Gabriel to get 15 points. Another pain for the week on this one.
Aston Villa v Manchester United.
I don't have any players from these teams. Manchester United received some lessons from Unai Emery and his Aston Villa sides. The funny thing is they hardly learn so it's not a surprise. Aston Villa won by 2 goals margin with the game ending 3-1.
Southampton v Newcastle United.
Newcastle United begin their life to the new season with a bang. They have been getting the points, playing their best and having this ease when they play. Southampton received a thumping of 4-1 from Newcastle United. I'm happy Almiron and Kieran Trippier gave me good points.
Tottenham v Liverpool.
It's the same story all over again for Tottenham with Liverpool picking the right form again them with a 2-1 win. Harry Kane did his part but just look at that Salah. He is finding form at the time a lot of people took him out of their team. That player is cheeky 😂. Both teams are not in their best moments but Liverpool did more to get the win against Tottenham.
I still don't know what to do with my bench players. The time I might decide to use bench boost would be when those benched players won't have points to give me. This Fantasy Premier League is a funny one sometimes.
What's your pick for the weekend? Which game shocked you and which one delighted you more? What is your point tally for the weekend too?
Cheers.

Please don't remind me of that unserious Manchester United. That team knows how to fall someone's hand sha. Aston Villa beat us in and out and we can't even respond. Nonsense. That's their headache jare. We move. Hopefully they can beat Villa by Thursday.
So many things are wrong with that team and it's surprising that they can't even see it themselves when everyone is seeing it. They are after the money.
They are always after the money. They don't care one bit.
I agree with this.
