Fair play. What's your team?

Bringing Sanchez in last week and Chambers this week helped a lot.
Had a good start and even better run after the wildcard in GW5.



Very happy with these results, but have the strange feeling it will be very, very difficult to keep going at that speed. Still feels good to be there, even if it is for a week only:D

My team is identical with the exception of Hutton to your Wisdom, and last week did Sterling to Hazard. I got of to a much slower start though, but similar weekly scores this last 3 weeks.

The double Saints defence has been magical.

Would love a big score from Aguero today because:
1. He's only captained by 9% so can live with that effect on my rank.
2. He's still very lightly owned in my main leagues so I'd gain more ground there.
3. A lucky 13 points from him would take me to the elusive ton!

Sitting in exactly 14,000 place. Happy enough with my progress although not pulling the trigger on transfer last week, i.e. Sanchez, and changing the captaincy at the last minute to Costa has left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

Mr.Prodston

No Sanchez and no Chambers make Mr. P go....something something....



Just logged in and seen the damage 35 points and down to 34k. The good news is that the shackles could come off. If I'm going to start doing badly at least I want to do it in style! Now time to read back over the thread.

my feelings exactly
30 points dropped ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND places
ive 2 free transfers next week used one already and will be doing at least one more today.
patience and prudence have not served me well!
also I'm not signing Sanchez

Time you got back to doing what you do best, last season may not have been great for you but you need to be a bit aggressive in this game. I had to take a hit to get Sanchez in this week and that's worked well for me, when Milner scores a couple later on it'll look even better.

I enjoyed the look back at this time last year which lemlin brought up a couple of weeks ago, had a look a while ago, after week 10 last year I was in about 350,000, I finished at 10,000. I will certainly bein the top 100k after today, if my captain Aguero gets me some points I'll be a lot higher

Starting to get a little paranoid these days over posting transfers I made/will make in here. My last two big gains my rival made the same moves.

While I laughed at others suggesting this before I now feel the same. Gotta be more careful or throw a dummy out to see.

Yep, far too many and I'd would be one for restricted access to stop these lurkers.

That wouldn't stop lurkers though. You can still lurk but you just can't post.

3rd in the private league I want to win, the two lads ahead of me have everyone played, I still have di maria and aguero to go and I've gained 8 and 10 points on both. A goal from each with full bps will do nicely.

what is restricted access? is it really necessary?

Just watched Arsenal on MOTD. Walcott looked sharp, could easily have had 10 points in those 15 minutes. Ramsey looked anonymous in the highlights, never appeared in the box. Alexis Sanchez is a terrific player in the real world and for FPL players he's gonna be the equivalent of Suarez last year. 4 goals and a couple of assists could have been on the cards yesterday.
Wellbeck looked good also, fierce unlucky not to have had a goal when he danced around the Burnley defence and had his top corner bound effort whack of Trippiers shoulder.

Yeah but has to be some sort of solution, a lot of us are in cash leagues and people are lurking to find out info IMO.

I finished this GW last year at 214k but finished the year around 1500 so that shows there is plenty of time for people. We're only a quarter of the way there.

I've always said for years that Xmas will sort the men from the boys. That period of 4 GWs in eight days or so will make or break your season.

This is a public forum and people are entitled to lurk if they so wish. Going down the road of a private forum wouldn't work. How many of us would ever have started posting if it was private. I know I wouldn't have found the place for one. Why is your cash league more important than somebody else's?

I can appreciate the frustration but seeing some sort of exclusivity is not something I'd like to see.

Highly frustrating it is alright.

The easiest solution would probably be to not post your transfers before the deadline?

Discuss them all you want, but simply don't post them, problem solved no?

You could also use it for a bit of misdirection if you want :pac:

I'd be inclined go agree with this too

Have 3m in the bank and am probably going to downgrade Aguero to Bojan after this week.
Bojan has about 50 points tucked up his sleeve, the little magican.
I'll probably keep the 10m in the bank for a rainy day.
