Or maybe wait until the deadline to start Friday night matchday threads. Looks like someone didn't get the memo.

The threads are started ages before deadlines on a Saturday. Think it's sad people want to get an advantage by someone forgetting the Friday deadline

Thepoet85 · 15-09-2017 2:48pm

I think anyone with the gumption to be checking the fantasy football forum on Boards will know about the deadline.

It's the casual player who could get caught out, so I don't see the problem.

Mint Sauce · 15-09-2017 2:50pm

Look and what you have gone and done OP!

Elliot
Daniels Jones TAA
Mkhi Willian Mooy Alli
(K)ane Firminho Lukaku

All playing at home so hoping to make up for last week's 35 pointer.

Starting on -4 as I had to get Pogba out and also wanted Kane.

Good luck all.

ScummyMan · 15-09-2017 2:56pm

Fantasy football, serious stuff. Maybe :pac:

Anyway, had two FTs to burn this week.

Friday deadline?????

Father Hernandez · 15-09-2017 3:06pm

While it'd begun already

Starting with a -4 after making 3 transfers

Elliot

Bavies, Jones, Lowe

Eriksen, KDB, Mooy, Ritchie

Lukaku, Firmino, Kane (C)

Subs: Foster, Carroll, Gamez, Long

Rarely have I been this confident going into a GW, hoping for a big one!

I should think so when you're playing Elliott and benching him! What kinda poker are you playing?

Was just about to ask were people going for Foster or Elliott for those of you who have both?
I'm going to Elliott, Newcastle look solid and Rafa is a good manager who is tight at the back. I'm tempted to double up on them in fact

km79 · 15-09-2017 3:33pm

You are a bold girl shauna

Winterlong · 15-09-2017 3:37pm

Foster/Elliot is indeed a bit of a conundrum but I still have trust issues with Newcastle after their 4 goals conceded against Liverpool in 97 cost me that years works fantasy football title.

So I will head in to battle with...

Foster
Jones, B Davies, Otimendi
Mikhi, Fabregas (I know I know), Ali, James
Lukaku, Jesus, Morata.

(Elliot, Nauchton, R Sanches, Mee.)

TBH, if I only went by boards, I would not have known about tonights deadline.

Think some posters forget that there is banter around the fantasy forum, and take some of the tongue in check updates and wishes too seriously.

remoteboy · 15-09-2017 3:52pm

DeGea
Bavies Hegazi Stephens
Eriksen Willian Mikhy Mooy

Probably gonna wildcard next week. Usually use it by week 2, amazed it's lasted this long.

greedygoblin · 15-09-2017 3:59pm

Elliot
Otamendi Jones Bavies
Mahrez Alli Mkhitaryan Xhaka
Lukaku Firmino Jesus

Foster Ward Carroll Mbemba

Really unsure who to captain out of that lot. Presently on Alli, as an insurance policy in the event that Kane goes mad.

Will probably WC next week also.

dsmythy · 15-09-2017 4:18pm

Help each other out on decisions with teams.

Try help them miss deadline.

Does not compute.

On -8 after wildcarding last week, but I have a really good feeling about this weekend, not as good as the feeling I had last weekend though.

They were poor on Monday night to be sure but I don't see many points for Carroll.

KizzyMonster · 15-09-2017 4:58pm

Very unhappy with my team. Didn't want to take a hit so I couldn't afford Kane with just one transfer:

Eliott
Valencia Bertrand David Luiz
Can Willian Ritchie DeBruyne
Chicharito Lukaku Firmino(c)

subs: Schmeichel, Daniels, Monreal, Brady

PARlance · 15-09-2017 5:01pm

WC

Elliott
Alonso, Bavies, Jones, Maguire
Alli, Mkhi, Mahrez
Firmino, Kane, Vardy

Was really tempted by Mendy or Kola over Alonso.

Just 5 clubs represented in your outfield players? Not enough.

Have you still got your WC?
Can and Willian could get cameo minutes and you've no Spurs.

Balance is for tyres. Clubs are for golf.

I've no real issue doubling or trebling up if form & fixtures look good. I've players from 5 clubs that I think will get points over the next 4-6 weeks, that's as far as I look ahead.

Triple Spurs is a no brainer for me. Double United too. I would imagine that they would be relatively standard calls for a WC.
That's 5 places out of 10 outfield taken by 2 clubs. Given that, the max amount of Clubs in that case is 7.

Triple Leicester (Mahrez) is a bit punty but fixtures are great and I've liked what I've seen in their first 4 games, 3 of them against top opposition... Vardy 1 point off Lukuka who has had an easy start.

Would like some attacking City cover but it's only 1 or 2 transfers away. The way things have gone this season, there's no first 11 without compromise imo.

It's not about representation, it's about picking the players you think will score well. No point picking a player from a certain club just for the sake of it.

carnie · 15-09-2017 5:44pm

Elliot
Bavis, Dunk, Cedric
Salah, Mkhi, Ramsey, Richie, Gross
Lukaku, (C)ane

Foster, Mee, J-Rod, Francis

Dunk or Francis? I reckon it'll be a 1-1 event.

Lemlin · 15-09-2017 5:44pm

Could have went -8 and had planned to until Pogba move went tits up.

Have gone -4.

Yoshida to Bavies and Mane to Salah.

Foster
Lowe, Davies, Jone (Mee, Naughton)
Alli, Salah, Willian, Tadic (Carroll)
Kane, Lukaku, Mounie

If Burnley had a better fixture, I would have gone Mounie to Wood.

carnie · 15-09-2017 5:48pm

Change of plan.. I'm going to drop Ramsey. Please recommend a 8.5 mid!

As per my post above, I think Leicester & Mahrez will score well over the next while.
D Silva might seem safer but Mahrez has outscored him to date.

I'm considering Mehrez over Dilva. I'm also considering going on a mad one and getting Sane. Yes, he's had **** all time but a brace last week can't go unnoticed

EDIT: I'm going to Mehrez
