    Sanchez and Mane in the same team could be 500 points if Sanchez stays in the league.

    I dunno what I was thinking picking Mahrez! Squeeky bum time for me for the next few weeks with Sanchez too.

    Likewise with Coutinho..

    Whats the story with the prize money btw? Winner takes all or some kind of split?

    I assumed winner takes all cause it's a small league and smallish pot.

    I had suggested way back €300/€100

    But I'm happy to go with the majority, doubt I'll be troubling that end of the table unless my waivers go legendary

    I like the frontline of Mectavba the best if Nacho is fit and plays.

    I don't like his midfield, thought Zaha was picked waaaaaayyyyy too early

    Can't believe I didn't get a scouser considering there was 4 on my shortlist.

    Firmino was the last one picked, I think, in the pick just before me so I got Defoe

    Speaking as someone who has Tom Ince in their team I'd go 300/100 but happy either way

    Ha. My team is exactly 100m. At least I'm playing fairly lads.

    I've only got one player that is in my actual FPL team and that is Jesus.

    I saw that you commented on that during the draft...look at the points he got last season and he's not too far the Ozils, Coutinhos & Pedros....and Palace were ****e for the first half of the season.

    It was interesting to see the different strategies, some of the players picked in the first couple of rounds I hadnt even on my watchlist. I tried to get as many nailed-on starters (i.e. Zaha), then found myself panicking that I had no City and took Bernardo Silva!

    Bernardo Silva is a class player. It will interesting to see how Pep uses him, he could take Sterlings spot or old Silvas place. Might take him a while to break into the team though.

    I assume you are being sarcastic.

    Bar Sturridge that is one of the better teams in the league. If for some reason Sturridge gets regular game time the you could win it.

    We'll see how the season plays out but I'll be going with a 5 man defence 1st GW

    We should really try and sort out if its winner takes all or 300/100 before kickoff.

    I think it's 3 votes for each with 2 people still to vote.

    I'm also gonna change my vote, looking back I realise 300/100 was already proposed when I joined. So I think that makes 5

    So given the ****ness of my team I've decided to offload half of it and rely on the wire. So I now have three United defender for the weekend

    Could you give a very brief overview of how the wire works?

    Basically you can apply to pick up any free agent, as many as you'd like every week. It creates a thing called a waiver, the order in which ur waiver is done depends on how you did the week before. So if you outscored me and we were both looking for the same player I will get him before you. And so on until all requests are processed. The waivers are done 24hrs before the deadline and after that AFAIK you're free to just pick up any player immediately

    Accidentally left Ramsey in my team


    Happy G&R


    Just realised that whenever someone does well, like Vardy last nite, then someone definitely has him. There's no chance we all decided he wasn't going to do it.
