Ah damn, it's that time of year - managers rolling out the changes.
FF nightmare.
FF nightmare.
Fantasy Football 2017/18
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
My only casualty today is Sane.
The silly FPL season begins.

Ffs. My midfield is coutinho, Silva, hazard. And I paid 4 points for hazard this fecking week. Morata best do something as captain else i am fecked.
Could be worse, could be this:
First year in FPL - But how has the hectic christmas programme affected your teams the previous years?
Who's the easiest players to guess for stars? The star-men who the teams usually can't do without?
Would it make sense to go for 5 in defence if defenders are the safer ones?

I'm getting destroyed. Almost everyone benched.
That cnut Sane isn't even playing tonight.
Serves me right for picking Shitty players in the first place.

This season it has started early but usually, this remains the case during the festive period. Most of the times it's just a bit of luck, a bit of gut and a bit of good timing combined to survive this. Worst time is when games get rearranged and re-scheduled, especially due to the weather at the last moment.
Having so much bad luck.
After weeks of enduring Matt Ritchie getting me 2 points and seeing Gross constantly get 5 or more (even when they lost 1-0), I finally swapped them and saw Ritchie get 11 and Gross get 3
My rival had Doucore on the bench and Sane as Captain, so what happens? Sane doesn't play

Pulling the trigger now. Enough is enough.
If you don't have Salah, then ...
So happy I got him from the start at 9.0

I had him at the beginning but made a mistake of removing him midway (when Mane got the red card). Been suffering ever since and basically paid 0.7 extra for him now.If you don't have Salah, then ...

I hd him since 9.0 aswell. The only problem is when I captain him, he typically does not do anything. I bet if I start captaining him again, he will stop scoring.If you don't have Salah, then ...

Sterling is also a good addition. Only problem with him is Guardiola rotations.
Jesus Christ. My team is banging now. Finally got it right. Valencia gets a clean sheet but plays in midfield. Azpilicueta doesn't play. Morata does nothing, same with Silva and Sane, which I was about to be thankful for until a minute ago.

Got him at 9.0 as well - absolute bargain. Literally the biggest must have player in the whole game at the moment, particularly given Pool’s fixtures.
Just seen Sterling has scored.. not great from a United perspective, but feck it I’ll take the five points.
Had a horrible mid week. 42 points. Made hazard Captain ahead of Salah and Kane
Yep I only just got him last week and been thinking why didn't I do it sooner, kept with Eriksen for too long! Most owned player now 50.1%.If you don't have Salah, then ...
So happy I got him from the start at 9.0
Finished with 49points, just ok. It's a step in the right direction though, need to improve or I'm going to have a hefty bill to pay at the end of the season!
I'll take 58 despite that Sterling winner hurting from a non FF pov. 3 points off top in my work league now.
I have a mate who brought Eriksen in for Salah about 4 weeks back. And took a hit to do it too.
it's a cruel game!I have a mate who brought Eriksen in for Salah about 4 weeks back. And took a hit to do it too.
I probably research the most out of everyone in my work league and I'm near bottom
. Spoke to guy who created a team at the start but never joined the league, never touched his team....he's about 50 points ahead.it's a cruel game!

There's definitely a massive element of luck to it. The Captain picks for starters. I might negate that now by just leaving it on Salah until the end of the season.
That would be so much easier, I know it's the right thing to do this week, Liverpool against Brighton...but the back of my mind is telling me that Kane will score a hat trick against Watford

Oh he definitely will now I've took the armband off him.
Captain:
Kane away to Watford
Aguero against a joke of a West ham team
Salah bang in form against Brighton
Hazard against a leaky Newcastle

I've changed my captain from Kane to Salah and fully expect to regret it.
Logic would say that West Ham have conceded the most goals this season, Man City have scored the most...it will be a bloodbath. But I only have Silva and Sterling, no garantuee either will start.
Spurs look pretty shite atm, even away from home.
I'm just going to flip a coin on Salah or Morata. Leave it up to fate.
Jones out, Christensen in for 5.4.

Did the exact same
Thinking of pulling Xmas wildcard trigger early because players I want are gonna jump up price, and players I have are gonna drop.
I've worked hard to get good team value and don't wanna lose it.
This would be my team and subs if I did, thoughts appreciated...
--------------Courtois---------------
Mee----------Moreno--------Lindelof
Hazard----Salah----Sterling----Ramsey
Vardy----------Kane---------Rooney
subs - Elliot / Zeegelaar / Doucouré / Rosenior
0.3 saved ITB for future

Think Aguero will be rested.
Salah or Hazard.
Hazard better fixture but don't like having captain in the early game... as many have noted, it just weirdly seems to often not come off.
Pope out for Courtois this week. Was hoping the former would rise to £4.7m so I could claim the £0.1m but never happened. Would prefer Hazard instead of Morata for tihs run but can't really afford him without some major surgery and I've been burnt by him in past seasons. Might reconsider this if Morata gets a suspension off the back of a 5th yellow. Team for the weekend
----------------Courtois-------------
Alonso---------Mustafi--------Moreno
Richarlison--Salah(c)--Sane--Sterling
Kane-----------Morata---------Wilson
subs: Elliot, Surman, Mee, Naughton

That's a really nice team, not too dissimilar to mine.
What's your team value?
Cheers. £103.7m with £0.2m in the bank.
You know you get another Wild Card on 1st Jan? If you haven't used your first one yet use it now or lose it. Strong team though, is Lindelof guaranteed to start? I'm not sure but then he is only 4.9 so could be a steal.
The most annoying thing this year is the lack of a decent cheap striker. I've rotated between Mounie, Chicharito, Abraham and now Wilson. None of them are doing what the likes of Andy Jonhson, Vardy etc did in years gone by.
I probably should have went for Ramsey instead of Zaha a few weeks ago but I missed the boat after the price rise. I'm still fairly happy with this.
-----------Elliot / Foster
-- Ward - Daniels - Christensen
Richarlison - Salah - Sane - Zaha

Which of these City cnuts should a play against West Ham? Sane out, Sterling or Silva?
Or, I can bring in Aguero for Lukaku.
They are going to score more than a hand full of goals
Help me please!!!!!!!

Nobody can predict what Pep will do. Gut feeling says Jesus will smash it but I'm not brave enough to transfer him in for Kane or Morata.Probably end up with Sterling, even though I can't stand the little scrote.
Silva hasn't done anything much for a while, but I guess it's too much of a punt.
I can only afford KDB is I sell Eriksen, and I'll still have Sane.

I'd sell Eriksen anyway. He's knackered according to Pocchetino. Can you get Hazard in for him? That'd be even better.
