HOW DID WE GET ON IN BLANK GAMEWEEK 30?
GW points: 75
GW average: 28
GW rank: 171,100
Overall rank: 149,616 (▲)
Team TSZ utilised their spare Free Hit well to score 75 points, almost three-times the average in Blank Gameweek 30. Trystan and Alex's gamble on Raphinha not starting paid off - in as much as he didn't play against Wolves and their first sub came in - but also severely underpaid like an unhappy guest on Four In A Bed as the Mexican promptly got himself double yellows for an early bath. Premier League players probably don't have baths anymore but we are yet to update our terminology. On that note, stay tuned for Alex's Made-Up Phrase Of The Week.
75 points saw the team sneak inside the top 150k in the world with eight gameweeks left to play. Not bad at all considering two months ago our skype calls felt like some kind of recurring funeral we all had to attend despite not really knowing the deceased that well.

'Double Gameweek' is potentially something of an overstatement considering Burnley are one of only two sides with two fixtures this weekend, and one of them is against Man City. Sean Dyche's side tend to lose by at least four or five goals a time against Pep Guardiola's many-headed beast, so it probably won't matter whether or not you own Jay Rodriguez, Wout Weghorst or James Tarkowski for that one. Furthermore, with Everton fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table, Alex has christened their Wednesday night trip to Burnley an "arse-nipper"* and certain double gameweek trap. Burnley have five matches over the next three gameweeks with plenty of opportunity to disappoint FPL managers across the world.
*Made-Up Phrase Of The Week.
Che Adams or Armando Broja for a Burnley asset? Joe Willock to Maxime Cornet? After much deliberation that I, as usual, zoned out of (you can thank me later) the chat brought itself around to Trystan suggesting quite heavily that the pair shut up shop for the week and roll the transfer. Alex, always ready to renege against Trystan's steadfast sensibility, plucked the name Bernardo Silva from thin air. Will he even play? Trystan sighed, shrugged and made the transfer.
Mo Salah gets the nod over Harry Kane for the captaincy, probably more out of habit than anything else.
