    78 with 15 to go on BB. Haven't been this HEWT with FPL in a while.

    Looking to claw back a 50 lead in my main money league...yer man has virtually the same squad as me but captained Mahrez over KDB. I own both but captained Kev. Jiminez and Jordan Henderson (!) are my main differentials

    Why not?

    I want to try and see if I can just enjoy the sport without the fantasy element again.
    Have a few things going on next year that will take up a lot of time outside work so it seems like the natural year to take a break. Especially with the short turn around to preseason.
    Also I win my main work league I will have won it 4 out of 5 years and they are threatening to not let me enter and/or not run it ! That is the one I enjoy the most as we chat about it every Monday etc. I will miss it for the year I suppose..........
    I may have to enter a team in the Boards Premier League though ......4 promotions in 5 seasons to get there !

    On 81 if Leno gets a bonus with 12 played. 15 to go still though

    Ederson is some donkey, I know he had to clear the ball but at least consider the player.

    65 from FH.

    Pepe, Lacazette & Samatta benched not great.

    11 to go.

    Hopefully Pepe doesn’t feature v Brighton & get my third Sheff U defender off the bench

    Looks like Leno might sneak a bap

    A nice consolation on my not going for Henderson.

    Seems fair.

    I think you are similar to myself though, the fantasy side of it just heightens the enjoyment. Not sure i could see myself on the edge of my seat after a 0-0 draw between Villa and Shef Utd otherwise!

    I think there’s a bit of a middle ground to be found rather than going cold turkey, maybe making a team and logging in on a Friday to make a transfer. Handicap yourself a bit :P

    A years sabbatical won’t do you any harm either tho, even if the forum will be a lesser place for it

    Yeah this is the thing
    Am I watching and enjoying that game earlier for fantasy OR did I force myself to watch it because of fantasy and wouldn’t have watched it otherwise and maybe have cut the lawn like I should have :D
    And
    Is it normal to be hoping your real life team loses etc and their bitter rivals win?

    I resisted playing for years and years Cos I knew there would be no middle ground ! That’s my personality. I’m way too obsessive and competitive !
    Good traits for fantasy in some ways but also bad for balancing it with “real life “

    See I am even overthinking my decision not to play :D

    GW rank of 442k. Not sure that will see me break top1k. Likely to be a small red I would imagine

    62pts with BB. VHEWT....but....main rival has once again outscored me (73). Henderson and captain KDB doing it for him. I’m praying Aguero goes on a mad one Monday night! And believe it or not TAA is a differential for me!

    78 so far despite a Mesut Ozil sized 7.3m sitting in midfield. Double gameweek fever clearly got the better of me.

    Wildcard already activated

    Got 76 in the end with Leno getting the BP.

    Up almost 1k to 777.

    Could do with Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea having a quiet weekend:)

    80 with 11 to play. Delighted with that. Used the free transfers to put 8 DG players in my team. KDB TC. Still had my wildcard so will switch my team up again now for the remainder.

    I think Liverpool & Chelsea will score atleast 3.

    Everton are shocking, lost 4-0 to Chelsea just before covid.

    Chelsea go to Villa and from what we've seen yesterday - there is a reason Villa are in relegation places

    UTD Spurs will be most interesting fixture, but I think a lot of goals there too as each team has to win

    That's taking into account all 7.5 million teams of which over 70% are inactive. The real average is over 50.

    Rashford is the one player I really really wanted to chance but didn’t
