To those, like me, who didn't own Riyad Mahrez or Kevin De Bruyne, it's been a scalding week.
It was always the right call to double up on Manchester City assets with Pep Guardiola's side in back-to-back double gameweeks.
But Raheem Sterling was not the investment, as it now proves, to make and so for those who fell on the right side of City roulette, a hat tip to you.
Elsewhere Manchester United took local bragging rights by ending City's winning run - no more Bruno Fernandes can't do it in big games, that's over.
