Do defenders really count for much in FF?
I generally keep defenders from top 7 sides and WBA/ Southampton. 6 points if they keep a clean sheet and a goal/assist is a bonus. Don't get much more from non elite strikers
Alonso today 
Although fecking Batshuayi ruined the clean sheet. But I doubt he would have scored his second if it had been 1-0
Although fecking Batshuayi ruined the clean sheet. But I doubt he would have scored his second if it had been 1-0I am thinking abot wild card. 39 points with only KDB to play. Kane is to expensive for a player who give back 1 point per game. Lukaku is fix need one more. I don't know about Jesus or Aguero because they can share minutes.
So Kane's shite. Now I'm stuck with a decision. He's bound to score a brace soon isn't he?
Fantasy league fecked me over. Changed my captain without me knowing and gave it to Oxlade Chamberlain. Fuming.
See it through one last week pal, then you have 2 weeks to capitalise on price changes/really consider your team. Not to mention covering any injuries that happen in that period.
Burnley, Swansea, West Ham, Huddersfield and Bournemouth coming up over the next six weeks. So yes.
Don't want to fall behind to much. Also I don't expect Begovic, Ritchie, Daniels and Firminho to gain me any points next week also.
One quick question, Willian for example is now worth 7,1m, why he is only worth 7m if I want to change him?
You only get half of the increase value when you sell. He'd need to be 7.2m for you to sell at 7.1
ps I don't think Firminho and Ritchie are that bad a pick! I have the former. Liverpool can go goal crazy anywhere on their day.
Begovic and Daniels may have a dodgy fixture (haven't checked), but you'll have a second keeper, and 4 other defenders to pick.
Do your wildcard now, and get a couple of injuries, and you'll regret it.
Do you mean you didn't do it properly?
Hard luck old son.
No in the midweek I picked Lukaku as captain and set my team up. In case I didn't have time to get round to it on weekend and it automatically changed everything on the weekend to something else?
Are you sure you saved it? If yes, then that's terrible luck.
Currently sitting in 21st with Captain De Bruyne still to play. 2nd in the newbies.
Yes he is. Keep your knee still ffs.
Measly 43 with only David Silva to play
Having a horrid start with only 63 last week.
Took off Luiz who got an assist. Hoping they concede big time over the next few weeks or I'll really regret it.

Hmmm. 56 points (minus 4) with Jesus left to play. Decent enough. No one scored really high but only few blanked. Decent start though sitting in 250k
Definitely. Oh well from now on will check just before gameweek to see if it happens again.
Chill out you donkey, i wasn't being serious. Jesus, people are unbelievably uptight on the internet these days. I actually knew someone would comment something this stupid in response
Yeah, no way I can take him out. Annoyingly I would have had Alonso if I hadn't picked Kane from the off though
Had my best ever start in years. 27th out of 657 ain't so bad is it?
That too in the FF thread
That's why I was thinking it'd be obvious. Honestly, it's a headfeck being online at the moment. The cynicism is exhausting.
Yeah, you took what was obviously a joke and responded as if it was serious. Crack on
One point ahead of you. Catch me if you can
Haha well since I have two further players and a automatic sub coming in since Moreno didn't play I'd say I'll pass you by tomorrow night.
I'm playing this for the first time (the premier league fantasy football), and I missed the first week so I'm a good 60-70 points behind everyone else in my league.
Can someone tell me- if I make a transfer today, will it come into effect for the City-Everton game, or not? I'm assuming not, but just want to make sure.

Ah that sucks. Although tbf, I didn't even realise you could make changes to your squad throughout the season, so I picked a squad I thought would do well over the course of 38 games, and didn't really just focus on this week specifically. As such I've had a pretty disastrous first weekend.
That's still a pretty solid strategy.
You only get the 1 transfer a week so you can't drastically change your side. I'm probably going to Wild Card in a couple of weeks, either the first international break or if I can stay strong by October. My team feels like it's shit atm but it's good on paper. Just need faith that Kane and KDB will score points in the next few weeks.

Nice team. Just makes me realised how having Kane and Lukaku is seriously hindering my side.
Thanks man. I had around 20 points in the bench (Chicharito, and Foster ) , just the way it goes I guess
.Spurs have a decent run of fixtures now through Sept , so Kane might be worth persevering with. Decisions, decisions !
Used my wildcard and my team now is:
Any suggestion what to change?

Oh that reminds me - what's a wildcard?
It basically allows you to make as many transfers as you like for that Gameweek without incurring anything point deductions.
You get one to use before 1st January and another for the 2nd half of the season. But if you don't use the first one, you lose it.

Yes they do, I'm going to stick by Kane.
It's a good team, maybe spread the money up front. I'm going with Firmino, Lukaku and Jesus next week. Huddersfield are the classic team coming up with the buzz of being in the league. That bubble will bust soon. De Bruyne is well expensive too, go with Ali or Erikson. Jese is an interesting one, going to get him soon but Stoke's fixtures are difficult. I think you should take Otamendi out for a wing back of City. These are just suggestions mine you, not like I'm ff king. It's so hard to know at times. I'm top of a small league but that's not saying much. Got 132 points with Gabriel Jesus to play, hardly fecking amazing. The biggest thing about ff is keeping patience and picking the right captain in my opinion.Used my wildcard and my team now is:

I don't think a 63 last year is exactly "only" material!
My 62 last week was 28th in our 78 strong work league.
43 say 46 with Silva is more average for sure
