Think I’ve only had 9 players on the park so far this round, Lolley doing the heavy lifting but stoked Cac, Germain and Clough all got on the scoresheet.
It looks like I’m doing okay this round, relatively speaking. 10th in the league in this round so far. Thurgate got two assists against Perth and still has to play. Shamoon might play, as well. Other than that, heavily relying on captain Lolley to bring home the choccies for BlueSky FC!
If you don’t have Lolley as captain then you’re just camping out.

Yeah, I learnt my lesson not captaining him last round - thanks Joe
This is like in past years when if you tried having a team without Maclaren and/or Goodwin, you were at a massive disadvantage.
I haven’t played one of these games in a long time, so it took me a little while to get it, but now I’ve sort of got it I’ve made up seven places in just a few weeks.
Wellington, Sydney and Perth are the three teams playing twice in the upcoming “round”.

Yep, no one on bye this week, Wests have it this weekend but still play this round courtesy of a midweek game in Perth on Tuesday.
Discipline watch update: Italian Stallions (Luis) has had the existing yellow card upgraded to orange 
as you are still carrying and earning points through Machach in your XI.
The yellow card was not upgraded previously due to karma and the ensuing hilarity of him being sent off against us, but you’re now on final warning, a second yellow will see you ejected from the SFCU league. Please trade him out for a non-Victory player ASAP.
Forgot to set my team, was going to remove the WUN striker. Wake up this morning “fuuuuuuck”. Nope. All good baby!
Now to make some subs haha. Guaranteed to be the two games Lolley does fuck all now that I am putting him in.
Though I am torn with taking out the MacArthur front line, given they play Newcastle…playing twice for Lolley and Kosta though (even if one is against the other). What to do!
To be honest, I haven’t had much change out of Macarthur’s front line. The team in general is too streaky to be relied on, and there’s every possibility they’ll get done by Newcastle somehow. I had high hopes for Germain this season but he’s been nowhere near prolific enough. I’m even thinking of getting rid of Kurto from my lineup, as well.
Jakolis currently has the most points overall (7th in PPG) while Drew, though streaky, is 5th (4th in PPG). Germain has definitely been the disappointing one though, he seems to be roaming as more of a false 9 and dropping deep to playmake, so he’s rarely leading the line and getting on the end of chances. Even more so when up top with Piol who does ride the last defender more.
I took Jakolis out for Kosta this week.
Running a huge risk given Macarthur could score a hatful against Newcastle but Wellington have 2 home games (one against our defence) and Kosta’s chasing his 100th league goal.
Results are in already for the round just ended with our game at the cake tin. I note Perth have the bye this weekend and both Adelaide and Auckland will play twice this round (incl. against each other at Coopers on Wed 22nd).
Italian Stallions (Luis) is on super dooper serial final warning RE: Machach. Understand there have been limited windows between these posts and rounds starting recently, but was logged in over the weekend and noted the 
next to your username indicating you were logged in too, so you’re not one of the “set and forgetters”. If he’s still in your side this weekend then that second yellow will be issued, not gonna let that prick accumulate points against us on the 24th. 
Courtney-Perkins plays 45 minutes, is part of a team that concedes four goals (maybe only one for the second half), scores a goal, and gets 17 points #supersub
I dropped him this week and brought in Delianov (obviously not like for like).
That worked out well because I’m stuck with HDM as my GK.
Yeah, I dropped JCP too and swapped him out … in a way, I don’t mind, because I would have had him in my bench, which would’ve pissed me off more if he got points off the bench.
I need Brimmer to get on for the sake of my h2h league. Pjaniker is the dudes captain who is going to double his points knocking me over if he does. I’m currently third on the table and can go second if Brimmer makes the park and does fuck all!
