My big mistake was roster construction at the outset, and not having a "proven" person to captain.  I thought it would be better, long term to not buy the most expensive guys because their point totals are not so much better, on a points per dollar basis, than having a bunch of very good guys - 3 of the top 5 at a position, let's say, but not the most expensive guy.

I've seen 2 problems with this approach.  I hung in there a long time with that strategy, but not having a "go to" captain, meant I was hit and miss.  "Oh, this guy is playing against this team and their defensive record isn't that great so I'll captain him this week."

So, of course some [I]other[/I] guy has the big week, and I wind up leaving 2 or 3 guys on the bench who could have each given me 5-10 points.

I've recently gone and got Salah, and have a very strong midfield.  He rewarded me with a 42 point week a couple weeks ago.  My defensive choices also have not doing great, though, so I'm still down toward the bottom.  I'd be happy to work my way back to the top 4 or so by the end of the season.
