    Favourite asset has to be Aguero, or David Silva. I've owned them every season that I could own them at some stage.

    Other notables would be
    That first season Gareth Bale sort of broke out when he was classed as a defender.
    Josh King in 16/17
    James Collins was always great fun to own.
    I love owning big awkward strikers like Andy Carroll, Victor Anicebe and Conor Wickham.

    I'd be alpacha. First thing that came to mind.

    Undecided.
    Captaining Aguero or Sane, maybe triple Captaining Aguero.
    Edit: triple captain on Aguero.

    I've had 5 jobs including 2 I'm currently in.

    6 if including my FPL managerial career so 6.

    I haven't the first clue about GAA.

    I think it was when the photos were taking off in the price changes thread, people were outdoing themselves everyday with different funny photos.

    Then people started mentioning Mick. I thought itd be funny of doing the same thing everyday.

    And I got the idea to have him a photo fo him looking up at the quoted posts.

    Sometimes its disappointing to see behind the curtain :)

    Might be a generation gap or maybe I was too vague but I was referring to Pink Floyd.

    You’ve just gone from a late 40’s guy in my head to a late 20’s guy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,829 ✭✭✭shineon23


    How could you?

    Practice?

    Favourite chip is bench boost, it's the one that helps me make the most ground in mini leagues every season.

    Road trip across America a few summers ago.

    I work in IT.

    If you had to build a 5 a side team of boardsies in the FSA who would they be, what positions would they play and why? :)

    Who is your second favourite right back?

    That's a tough one,
    If I have to pick myself ill stand in goal and let others show their skills. Much like me on here this season, I'll take a back seat for the majority of the year, half paying attention and occasionly threaten to eat a hat or two if I spot some particularly outlandish statements :P
    -I'm still waiting on Ederson's 5 assists and Mitrovic to score 20 goals.

    Id play a 3-1 formation.

    Id have yourself a maraudering left wing back with an eye for goal. Don't know why that springs to mind.

    I'd put Cartman78 and Shanotheslayer rotating in the CB-CF positions.
    As their resources are my main sources of my success in my main league this season.

    I use oddonsfpl regularly when I cant decide on a captain and which defenders to play.

    As mentioned in general thread Cartman's spreadsheet has been a grrat help for planning ahead all and now to defend my main league win.

    And for the most important position on the team right wing back. Ill have to pick Scorpion Sting, who has continued the (eh!!) 'work' myself left behind in our retirement from price change tracking.

    Right backs, too soon :(

    In real life, all time Jason Dodd or Gary Neville.

    Currently in FPL: Matt Doherty.

    In recent years on FPL, when I had Danny Simpson at 4.0 in leicesters title winning Season,
    Bellerin in his year breaking through for Arsenal.

    Definitely not the perenially injured TAA anyway

    I'm as good as a Defender as the current Everton ones.No clean sheet in the 5 aside with me there :pac:

    Where's your favourite holiday destination?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,387 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Would you rather be able to fly or read peoples minds?

    Which FPL player would play you in a film of your life?

    What do you think of the nurses strike?

    Top five best looking famous people (I’ll leave the gender to yourself)

    Did “have you tried turning it off and on again” take up the first two years of college or did you nail that in 18months?

    Itll be a long time before i seek out an Everton clean sheet again aftet Pickford single handedly ruined my season in 17/18.

    I did the math. If i had my original goalkeeper DDG in instead of Pickfraud for the weeks i had him, I'd have won my main league. That one still stings.

    I'm not really a holiday person, probably USA that i mentioned before, I enjoy going to matches and hope to get to one before the end of the season.

    I'd read people's minds. Not keen on heights.

    James Milner, itd be a pretty boring film. Son who better.

    I think nurses deserve better working conditions and pay so more power to them. The country would be lost without them in my opinion.

    Of the top of head in no particular order:
    Alexandra Daddario
    Kate Upton
    Emilie De Ravin
    Alycia Debnam-Carey
    Leanne Moore to represent Ireland


    Off/on:
    That may or may not have been the subject of my thesis. It wasnt
