Captaining Mo Salah forever appears to be a solid play by Trystan and Alex as the best player in the world right now saved Team TSZ's skins for the umpteenth time. Salah was exceptional against a limp Watford outfit last weekend to score 26 points for an overwhelming majority of FPL managers who captained him, whilst many of the other big names failed to show up. One big name who did show up was Heung-Min Son, although not before Trystan could panic him away from our site squad after hearing on the grapevine that the South Korean had COVID-19. What turned out to be a false positive for Son became a definite negative for Team TSZ, with a -4 to bring in Riyad Mahrez ending up a -10 move on aggregate with Son's nine points swapped for the Algerian's three.

GAMEWEEK 9 TEAM

Formation: 4-4-2
Captain: Salah
Vice-captain: Ronaldo
Transfers made: 1 (Mahrez > Havertz)
Point deductions: 0

No call this week as the common cold currently rips through TSZ Towers, which is much harder to do these days considering we only meet once a week. With Alex out of action and Trystan not available for questioning after his trigger-happy actions last week. Trystan plans to bring in Kai Havertz, likely to play as a false nine for Chelsea with both Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner out with injuries sustained in the Champions League.

Really, though, Trystan is clearly desperate to remove the memory of Mahrez as quickly as possible as he embarks on a dangerous cycle of chasing potential false nines from Man City to Chelsea and back. Between Pep's Roulette and Tuchel's Lucky Dip it is fast becoming difficult to rely on any set-and-forgetters from two out of three title contenders...Harry Kane anyone?
