Who are ye thinking will have to be in yer team GW1?
Obviously so long as they don’t have Liverpool, city, Chelsea, Arsenal first up

For me

McCarthy - easy choice
TAA - Obvs
Viagrne- If he’s starting then it’s a very cheap way into wolves defence
Werner - he’s such good value

extra gravy

Martinez if he retains his place
TAA
Ziyech, prefer him to Werner
Antonio

Any funny team names this season folks?

One I've seen that's very good is 'Cancelo Mahrezervation'.

Will be hard to go without Bruno when they get a pen every game.

"Finding Timo" tickled me.

If penalties don't start drying up for United. It looks like I'll have to have Bruno in my team.

Mr.Prodston

Is Messi a midfielder or a forward? :pac:

It really is all about 'Volume & Banter'

When myself and Paddy only posted about OddsOnFPL on the twitter page every post was relating to odds etc and talking about the team. I think the follower count was probably 1k-1.5K.

Last year we didn't really do it seriously but still had a team based on odds but no articles/reasoning etc. More 'banter' posts and the followers is now at 3.5K.

Personally hate FPL twitter for the amount of moaning.

Any chance of ye bringing those articles back? I found them very good for marginal decisions

That's a definite hard no. It was very time consuming. There are some tweets where we post stats etc, but underneath all the banter etc so I wouldn't recommend it.

What I'll try and do this season is post the thread where we discuss stats or I'll copy paste them in here.

Just never want to seem like it's self promotion.

For what it's worth the team has been up for two years and this is the standings:

18/19: 16,729
19/20: 28,417

The season just gone should be 25K or lower, someone hacked our account and changed the captaincy from Aubameyang to a Wolves defender and Aubameyang got a brace and 3 bps!

Possibly more rotation to worry about

Don't think so personally. You'd have an indication closer to the match day but Week in week out TAA/Robbo start. That guy probably plays FA cup and if they have an easy CL fixture etc.

Wouldn't be worried early in the season anyway

Signings under Klopp generally have a bedding in period, before they are considered for selection.

I'd imagine it will be closer to Christmas time before he is a serious selection possibility in the league, injuries aside.

The fact he mentions TAA/Robbo can this fella play both RB & LB?

Or is it just referring to Gomez covering RB when needed?

I'd imagine it's Williams more than Gomez at RB.There are only 3 senior CBs at the club now, so Gomez should be treated as a CB only really. That said, I can see Gomez or Milner starting at RB away at a top 6 club for example if TAA is injured because of their experience.

Is there a way to check league details of leagues you entered last season? I entered a money league and still haven't been paid, and the amount he's saying he will pay out (once he gets the money for next year :rolleyes:) is one entry less than I have on my records.

(Not a Boards league FYI)

I had Ñíguez With Attitude last year but I was forced to change it by FPL.

I’ve figured out it’s FPL Elite who is poisoning my timeline so he’s been unfollowed

But before he went he gave me FPL Skipper (C), Who in fairness in his bio says he’s not an FPL expert but it also says “OR 6635 (GW33)” doesn’t say the year he hit these heady heights.

His 20 page post this morning is about players to avoid in each club, goes along the lines of this

“Ayew for 6.0m also doesn’t score enough goals for me and I won’t go near him any time soon”

Amazing that we lives in times where we get this type of deep insight for free! FPL Twitter is the gift that never stops giving! Really does seem like all you need these days to feel like you're worth listening too is one decent weekly score. It's funny looking at the discussion here not so long ago with so many people having great finishes while also saying yeah I don't have a clue whereas these people think their experts.

FPL is definitely one of those games where a little knowledge can make you think you have it sussed but a little bit more makes you realise you don't.
