    When you're obsessing so much that you begin to drop the "gameweek", even the "GW" and you're left talking in just 34's, 35's, 36's and 37's.

    ...you're wrecked this morning having sat up waaaay to late last night gorging on DGW wildcard strategies once the fixtures came out.

    When you're supposed to meet the lads for drinks after work but really want to go home to revise your wildcard plans after the Palace/Everton fixture announcement

    When your predictive text suggested words (on Samsung phone) knows any common PL player by the first letter of their name.

    Type A and the three suggestions are "Aguero, A, And" in that order!

    Select Aguero and it prompts a comma. Select the comma and it suggests Kane, Lukaku, Vardy!! :)

    I can type out my full team on mobile without having to type any players name in full. That's shockingly sad. It even knows to suggest defenders after you've entered a defender etc.

    My God, now I think you need help:pac:

    It's frightening to think what you would be like if you were doing as well as you(we all) were last year. :(

    Its partly a function of FPL/Boards FSA being pretty much all I use the internet on my phone for. :)

    Making excuses for it probably makes it worse though..... :(

    Oh, and the worse I do the harder I try! :D

    Seems to be the way alright.
    I'm actually really out of the loop this year, I've convinced myself it's because I'm not doing well but I think I just have less time at the moment for various reasons, I don't think I belong in this thread at the moment anyway:o (thank God:pac:)
    I haven't a clue when to use my wildcard or how:o:eek:

    When you watch Stoke City draw 0-0 with Man City in a midweek game instead of the greatest comeback in the history of European football.

    And you're on the edge of your seat for those last 10 minutes.... :o

    I think I'd probably pack it in too if I had done the same. Maybe it's because I'm having a relatively crap season but I didnt even consider it and I would consider myself slightly addicted to the game.

    I don't understand why watching the game would change the outcome?

    I can understand if nothing else is on and Watford play Palace and I havea player I'd stick it on, but If there was a bigger game on I'd watch that.

    Jesus lads, I'd consider myself an addict (my saturday moods vary depending on WBA keeping a CS!) but this is a new level altogether!

    If you stuck with the City game the other night, have a strong word with yourself!!

    Have to say I'm a little bit relieved that I'm not the only one :D and every second fcuker I meet '' were you watching Barca last night, brilliant wasn't it'' and I'm so ashamed to admit I was watching Stoke, I'm like ''oh yeah, unreal stuff'' only to be caught out when they ask what I thought of the penalty decisions :o

    Slight difference when it's your triple captain in fairness....
