Matchday 12 review

Notes

I ended up securing a very good 72 points in Matchday 12.
In terms of rank I rose from 487th to 268th in the world which was increase of 210 places.
Overall in was a very good Matchday but also one which was heavily reliant upon a handful of assets, primarily one.
Firstly, I backed the quadruple Inter defence this week and that paid off.
Inter striker Lautaro Martinez also scored and picked up the player of the match award who I had captained. Hakan Calhanoglu banked six points through ball recoveries as well.
I was on the fence about whether to play the second day aggressive or conservatively. I opted for aggression, changing my captain from Martinez to Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
Another part of my day two plan was to play every attacker playing that day. All of the players I started on Wednesday, I felt had haul potential. I didn’t want to leave out an attacker and it was a good job I didn’t.
Interestingly my biggest decision was whether to leave Bernardo Silva on the bench. In the end I went for it started him and he catapulted my total score after his massive 17-point haul.
One thing I was disappointed and surprised by was the poor offensive display of the the Real Madrid assets. Both Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema were terrible and looked nowhere near their usual level.
Another disappointment was my captaincy switch. Haaland missed some massive chances which resulted in a blank.
