<p>A decent week as my 3 big hitters came in to lift my team into the top 600,000. Not a big jump admittedly, but at least I&#8217;m heading in the right direction again.</p>
<h3><strong>Last Week</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<strong>Last Game points: 69</strong><br />
<strong>Total points: 343</strong><br />
<strong>Rank: 584,873</strong><br />
<strong>Squad value:</strong> <strong>101.3</strong><br />

<p>New skipper <strong>Aguero</strong> duly delivered a tidy 22 point captain haul. Despite this, quite a few big hitters came in, meaning the Argentine&#8217;s haul didn&#8217;t give me a huge boost.</p>
<p>In midfield, <strong>Eriksen</strong> continues to churn out the points and looks a fire and forget option moving forwards. While <strong>Zanka</strong> tackling game in defence means he can pick up bonus points when Huddersfield get a clean sheet. Unfortunately, Huddersfield face a horrible run of fixtures over the next couple of months, so that may be limit his output.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, my squad faired less well. The Swansea triple up fell flat with the Welsh outfit coming up short against Watford. I actually started Rosenoir ahead of Carroll as I backed Brighton to get a clean sheet. Sadly, though, Rosenoir appears to have fallen out of favour.</p>
<h3>Plotting Lukaku&#8217;s exit</h3>
<p>Looking to next week, I&#8217;m planning a bit of a reshuffle. I just feel that if I&#8217;m going to play 4 at the back most weeks, I&#8217;ll need another big hitter. At the moment I&#8217;m eyeing up <strong>Alonso </strong>or even <strong>Luiz</strong> as Chelsea face an excellent run of fixtures after the international break. Despite Alonso being subbed at 59 minutes this weekend, he seems a certain point scorer over the next couple of months. While Luiz, following his ban, has dropped to 5.9 and looks a cheap route into Chelsea&#8217;s resolute backline.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll look to fund the move by shifting out one of my United assets (or possibly both). Despite <strong>Lukaku</strong> and <strong>Mikhitaryan </strong>serving me well, following the international break, United&#8217;s fixtures begin to turn. As a result, I&#8217;m likely to take their points and run. This move will represent a big risk as the the United duo have a huge ownership level.</p>
<p>Lukaku will almost certainly go. After this weekend, the big Belgian doesn&#8217;t offer a good captaincy option for a while. At 11.6, he simply doesn&#8217;t justify his price tag without being a captaincy contender. I&#8217;m looking towards <strong>Morata</strong> as a replacement, but haven&#8217;t made my mind up yet. Either way, I&#8217;v got a week to ponder before next weeks transfer splurge.</p>

<p><strong>Bank: 0.1m</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not looking forward to the current week as my cheap players face some tough fixtures. This means that I&#8217;ll have to start Zanka against Spurs, which is less than ideal.</p>
<p>Despite <strong>Lukaku</strong> squaring up against the league&#8217;s poorest team, he&#8217;s unlikely to shoulder captaincy duties, highlighting the fact that he&#8217;s not worth his outlay. I&#8217;ll instead look to <strong>Kane</strong> as makes a strong case given his away form and midweek hat trick.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m hoping my squad can pull through as I roll the transfer and plan for a reshaping after the international break.</p>
