Get the gloves on as here comes Boxing Day football
It is Game Week 18 in the English Premier League
Yes this is one of sneaky midweek fixtures that are a whole game week in themselves.
Gameweek 17 points...
I am going to start this post a bit different by flexing my points from game week 17
Tengo Rangers Team Points for Game Week 17
So you can we see racked up 84 points which was 24 points more than the average... surely we would go up some places.
Mind you my game week rank was still 1.7 million so not that good at all! But better than my overall rank of 3.5 million...
But the points though..
These were made up by my boys ...
Say no more Salah scored exactly half and as he was my captain I am sure most players had him as their captain too!
My bench is worse than weak it is non existant.. so I am going to triple Captain Salah this week and mix it up in the transfer business and see what we can come up with!
Transfers..
I have fluff all money in the bank, I want a defender and a midfielder and maybe axing Fernandes to pay for it...
Fernandes Mid Man Utd
Smith Rowe Mid Fulham
and Greaves Def Ipswich
This gave me
17.2 million quid for 3 players
Let's go shopping!
I have in mind Jota Amad and Hall but I might be short on a few bob!
Let's see
Jiota 7.2 leving 10.5
next up Amad (loved him at my team Rangers) 5.4
Leaving us 5.1 fluff it!
and done ...
My New Squad
I made three transfers but I cannot find the summary of them.
Can you see the three new players...
Let's see the fixtures for Game Week 18 ....
So Salah Trent and Jota at home to Leicester...
Time to spice it up ... Salah x3 .. what do you think?
Our team for Week 18...
I kept Sanchez as goalie as he got a clean sheet last week.
Salah triple captain to absorb the 8 point hit for these transfers hopefully!
Starting Jota and having Amad on the bench in case he doesn't start.
Also playing Porro of Spurs, surely Man City will score against Everton, maybe not though.
Team saved...
Triple Captain (Salah) activated!
Results and stats!
Okay let's have a quick recap of where we are!
Our players points were .... better than last week and 24 better than average but still not in the top 1 million out of 11.2 million.
My Hive leagues
The Head 2 Head league ...
I was quite shocked to see we pulled off another win!
Our standing ...
okay so we are in 31st place! Maybe we can get into the 20s for Christmas!
That was last week and yes we did it!
27th for Christmas!
The main Hive fpl league
We went up five places upto 42nd!
Now who is our opponent ...
Hornstra Koops and Hornstra XI who is below me ..
compared to my
Interesting he has outscored me! But also lost three more games than me...
So a tight one, I wonder if I can sneak peek his team...
Will be close we have a few of the same players.
I am starting to feel more confident in my team after those transfers!
It's a Marathon not a Sprint said someone!
What do you think of my squad and team?
Thanks for visiting.

If so drop a comment and let us know!
Wishing you a wonderful season ahead!

I like Sanchez as goalkeeper and Salah as captain. Did you see that he has been criticized harshly for celebrating Christmas? And on the subject of Christmas, I hope you had a nice celebration, my friend. Hugs and cheers
Yeah he is Egyptian and the used to have 20% christians. Yes he is a Muslim and I loved the family picture by the Christmas tree.
He plays football in a Christian country so it is great that he shows empathy with his host country.
If other people did that when they are in other countries the world would be a better place. I am sorry but the amount of wars, destruction and hatred that is done in the name of religion is dispicable.
Ok rant over!
Thank you Nancy, I had a wonderful Christmas except for two things. One was you giving me a hallaca and the other was a hug. So I hope you had a wonderful time. Merry Christmas Nancy and I hope you enjoy Hogmanay and New Year 💙
You really love football 🥰
Hehe I do, although I don't really support any of those English teams.
How are you doing?
Good day @tengolotodo. I'm doing fine, thank you.
