The Grand Pursuivant

They've been changing raids around a lot recently, so hopefully you'll get a chance to catch it that way. Unless you have one stacked up that you forgot about.

You knocked it out of the park with your WC. I think that pushes you above me in to second. 90 with no clean sheets is just insane, even with the lucky Trippier sub. Mine is activated now. Hopefully I'll piggyback over you next week.

Better than forgetting, not making a transfer and leaving your captain on Hazard.

The real headache this weekend is the captain. No reliable home fixture for any of the big players.

Forgot to do my transfer before the Mendy price drop. Then accidentally transferred out Fabianski instead of Foster. Thankgod I'm playing my wildcard in a couple of weeks. Would have been so annoyed with myself otherwise.

I just never open gifts unless I have a full egg bag. Sometimes it means you have to wait a couple of days, but it's better than getting bloody 7km ones. That said, 7km eggs you've got in the last week or so have a chance to spawn Lapras, Snorlax and some of the rarer babies (Wynaut, Togepi), so they aren't all completely worthless.

So the defensive double double failed spectacularly, but I still ended up with 70 points. Up to second in the league now. I'm coming for you @skittles

Fraser is your classic 'never captain never bench' player. My plan for the last few weeks has been to ditch Fraser the moment the fixtures turned. Which is right now. I even have two transfers to do some shimmying around should I wish to up or downgrade him. I was also hoping a similar priced player would come in to form at the time, and like a beacon of hope, Ross Barkley appears. One of the heroes of my 2k overall finish from a couple of years ago. And it looks like he might have claimed a starting place in the Chelsea first team. So obviously I've thrown my plan completely out of the window and transferred out Mitrovic before his game against Huddersfiled and upgraded one of my 4.0 defenders to Mendy. I could have done many more sensible things with my transfer. Mane in for Hazard, switch Walker to Mendy, do the planned Fraser to Barkley. Switch Richarlison for Barkley and TAA for Rudiger. But no, now I'm playing 4-4-2 with double Liverpool and double City defence. And Liverpool are playing Arsenal. I may very well be mad, and this may be the result of me being bored of playing safe all season, but I think It might work out if I have patience. This is definitely the time to ditch the third striker. There are only 4 strikers in the top 30 scoring players in the game. Four! That's crazy. So Mitrovic is gone because he's done nothing for weeks and Fulham look absolutely awful. Defenders are still scoring points all over the shop. Liverpool and City have the best defences in the league by far. Double double is definitely overkill, but I can easily swap any of them out if I need to. This may be a case of right move wrong decision, and I don't think I would have done it without a wildcard left, but I'm willing to experiment for a few weeks. Red arrows here we come?

If anyone lives in London a very large area around Comiccon is spawning Unowns M, C, L, O, N and D.

What an absolutely awful week for the template. I got 40 points and jumped up 14k places to 60k overall rank. Was fully expecting a massive red arrow.

Yeah, the double liverpool Mana/Salah injury is a major headscratcher. I'm waiting until deadline for news. Still no idea what I'll actually do about it.

StuMiller and StoneColdSteveE. I go ultra friends with both of you tomorrow. Can't remember what your forum names are though. I would very much like to pop a lucky egg for it. What time would you like to organise for? 7pm good with everyone?

Edit: Wrong thread!

There was a guy at the raid I caught it who has done 80 Mewtwo raids and his highest is a 96. I would feel guilty if I wasn't so delighted!
