It could have been so much worse. After Riyad Mahrez brought in a huge amount of points in gameweek one, we were hoping none of our players would manage to hit those heights for the remainder of the season.

We ended up with a huge 20 points this week, most of which came from one man. Sébastien Haller would bring in 13 points, grabbing two goals as well as the three-point bonus against Watford. Disaster.

Out of 5,441,466 players who were in it from gameweek one, we currently sit 5,410,849th (a drop of 300 places from last week), or in the bottom 0.5% of players.

Replacing him with an equally expensive, and also ineffective, player was no easy task. In the end, we decided to go with Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Here's the team we have selected:
