    Thought it would be a bit of fun to see how our thinking evolves over the course of a year. I will start it off with -Cannot rely on Kane and need to sell him for the Chrismas fixtures.... Time will tell!!!!

    Has Kane scored yet?

    All joking aside. Having a few extra quid invested in defense has finally paid off in the last two GWs.

    Rotating goalies is the devil

    May the curse of Mary Malone and her nine blind illegitimate children chase you across the hills of damnation so far that the good Lord himself won't be able to see you without the aid of a telescope, if you put the name of a popular captain choice in the match day title thread.

    Form over fixtures, EVERY SINGLE F***ING TIME!!!




    Every season I start with this mantra in my head and every year that head is turned by a misfiring striker taking on a newly-promoted team at home.

    I didn't learn a lesson. If Kane was at home to Burnley or Hull on Boxing Day id captain him again.

    ... should be the title of this thread ;).


    Captaincy and last year added chips are russian roulette added elements to the game. Just remove them. Or at least, provide an OR ranking that does not take them into account. That's my letter to FPL Santa :P.

    Ye keep doing the right things. If they don't work out it doesn't mean it was wrong.

    People get rewarded for making the wrong decisions.

    People get punished for making the right decisons.

    Cedric is the best right back International in Europe.

    Don't buy into the knee jerks of others after the most logical decision doesn't work out as planned.
    Captaining Kane was the right decision then and will be the right decision the next time he's playing relegation fodder at home.

    Kane out seems to be working a treat for everyone.

    Form isn't sustainable for the majority of players. In a good and bad way. If a midfielder that usually scores goals hasn't scored in a few gws now is probably the time to get him. Or a player that has just had a great few weeks sometimes you need to accept you have missed those points as that form isn't sustainable.
