Manu is probably going to go berserk

I’ve managed to swap Teddy to Manu in both other formats and he will captain my SC team. He can be a pleb in my Dreamteam. In Fantasy I can only fantasise he is my captain. Email gang rise up!

TU: Manu
TD: Drinkwater
Comment: Save the trade

I’ve got Teddy and Drinkwater and would be more than happy to swap both to Manu!

Teddy out makes me 10/590. Young, Drinkwater, and Mikaele can surely get me to 700!

Economy class,I'm shot. Forgot how uncomfortable it is.

Going through customs switch at Guangzhou to continue on to Tokyo I thought I was entering a prison! So intense and no nonsense. Spooky.

More importantly I'm 11 for 673, this is easy

Also how many people traded Teddy in for a bye player, but captained him so they can't reverse the trade?

I did now just realise I’ve got Sebs 37 to come in. RISE UP!!

Scenes

Weekes delivered

I scored 728 points in the first major bye round last year, might scrape to 630 this year. Of course, I did have a much stronger side with the likes of Cook, Tapine, Horse, JDB, Hopgood, and SJ in it. I compare what I had in last years mids to this years and it makes me wanna

Ahhhhhh that is terrible news to wake up to. I traded in teddy and captained him. At least weekes played okay as vice. Wish I could swap him out, how annoying

12 for me then, can't reverse teddy trade as vc. Temptation is there to trade cotter to Manu tho.

Scoring overall is down this season but also available bye options are fewer too

We had Hops, Horse and JdB as 55 avg MIDS all available vs nobody this season
Bateman, Harris and iPap all were fit too
SJ fit and averaging 60+
Ponga was bought in at 444k mid Origin to average 60+
Nikora was scoring better than this season
Null was a cheap EDG playing CTR


Think people just need to adjust expectations.

Guangzhou airport is like the ultimate facade. Everything looks good from a distance but when you get closer you realise it’s put together with sticky tape and chewing gum. Also CCP officials not fans of the shitposting, as you would know.

Good idea, but how many players do you have on the bye next week?

My WAG team has Armstrong VC because I forgot to update it after trading in Aitken

Yeh that's what I've been looking at here, alot of the walls in here have a weird soft thin foam covering, and temporary bits n pieces.
I had this serious as death row type customs guy go over me,  thorough feel up and wand examination, silent and death stare. When he was done I go "Thanks mate, love your work". Entertaining myself.

Still less risky than looking at an American customs guy sideways.

Assume Edwards will be back in for SOO 2, even if Teddy is MOTM.
