Crikey, points were hard to come by this week.

A season lowest high score (if you see what I mean), and an average of just 43.71 meant that selecting the right captain was absolutely vital – along with not selecting too many Wolves players.  You transferred some in?  Well, it was a banker, wasn’t it?

We also saw a new impressive way of getting eliminated this week – playing your WildCard.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.

Here are the gory details:

Huddersfield, which last season was a bit of a B*********h.  Bring in Schindler, Mooy and Mounie, do you think?  Or make Pereyra captain?
