I was the same last season. I nearly didn’t play this season but the truth is I enjoy it mostly. So I feel your pain.

I played this season but only if I stuck to some rules -

No transfers til the day the gameweek starts.

No social media or Podcasts except boards.

The fantasy football scout podcast for team news which is usually on a Friday/Saturday just before the gameweek starts is allowed.

On Twitter I follow Ben Dinnery (could be any injury expert and I would rather find a different guy because Ben advertises gambling, I think)

Carry the FT. Use bench if needs be.

I mostly use the eye test so no social media really helps me make my own decision. And there’s nothing on social media/podcasts you don’t already know.

It allows me, if I choose, to not look at FPL during the week.

I usually make a note of what I want to do at the end of a gameweek when stuff is still fresh in my head and then hopefully execute just before the gameweek starts.

My biggest gripe (with myself) so far this season is that I’m still paying attention to EO. If I play next year I will delete my bookmark for effective ownership. I hate making decisions because of it.

I can always take the pain when it was my decision but if I’ve been influenced, and it goes wrong, then I find that very hard to take.

edit - I have made FT’s earlier in some cases but only if no games are to be played

I've a very addictive personality, been a few things in my life that I've got into, then let it consume far too much of my life, one of which definitely was Fantasy Football. Weekends I spent far too much time checking scores, reading the Matchday Thread, Apple have a feature on iPhone that shows how much time you've spent on your phone per day. When I saw how much time I was wasting on Saturday/Sundays, something had to change. I'm playing a lot more passively these days. Cutting away from the Content Creators was a big step, they make money of wasting your time.

I think the content creators through podcasts is a positive medium. Through social media/online not so much (far too much refreshing and checking things). I started walking 3 hours a day at the start of the lockdowns (badly needed it to help drop a few pounds), and consuming FPL content while being physically active doesn't feel addictive or negative at all. Would typically listen to 4 FPL podcasts a month, but its never done indoors.

Defo important to find a way to make FPL as an enhancement to the rest of your life rather than taking away from it (particularly for people with kids etc)

Benching Cancelo probably the main reason, but hindsight is 20/20

normanoffside · 30-10-2022 7:14pm

I’m lucky to get away with that having had my transfer of Foden to Almiron fail to go through while also having Williams, Haaland, kepa, Saka and Antony. Have Toney red carded for next week too. Team is in a mess

Wow, I just checked the live scores for the first time this GW to see I am safe :), when Wilson got hooked at Half time I thought it would surely be over.

degan55 is favourite for the drop but if his captain salah scores 9 or more then he overtakes Kloparamma.

I think it's only if he scores exactly 8 or 9 points and Robertson completely blanks that you come into it.

normanoffside · 06-11-2022 6:18pm

I think that's Kloparamma gone.

Yeah, was glad Salah did nowt despite owning him (had captained EH).

Xander10 · 12-11-2022 7:58pm

Yeah up until the last minute I had Nunez (c) Salah (VC) based on a gut instinct. Bottled it and switched them around, to play safe and match up with some potential others in LMS

Rikand · 12-11-2022 10:44pm

Bottom 2 teams on 25 each and both with Andreas as their last player left ?

normanoffside · 12-11-2022 11:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119867323#Comment_119867323

And neither has a goal either,

Next bottom team has 29 with Sanchez and Martial

normanoffside · 13-11-2022 5:10pm

degan55: 25 + Pereira (0 goals scored, 14 conceded)

Trimm Trabb: 25 + Pereira (0 goals scored, 9 conceded)

Scummy Man: 30 + Martial

CSF:36 + Rashford

Shanee.: 41 All out

Basically Trimm Trabb is safe. degan55 needs Pereira to outscore Martial by 5+ or he is out.

I'll need a Tyrone Mings masterclass tomorrow to survive this, decided to roll the transfer instead of selling James which looks like has cost me meh

Ace2007 · 31-12-2022 8:36pm

looking at it a bit more, I need one of the following

Kepa and Mings to score 10 points in total or

Mings to outscore Mount by 5 points

normanoffside · 31-12-2022 8:49pm

TrimmTrabb: 35 + Kepa, James (Bueno, 6), Mount

Ace2007- 37 + Kepa and James (Mings)

tailgunner- 46 All out

If we assume James doesn't play then TrimmTrabb has 41 + Kepa and Mount.

Ace2007 · 01-01-2023 4:59pm

So I need Mount to get 0 points or Kepa to get 5, fighting chance

I'm lucky to survive this week thanks to Haaland not scoring last night.

Given that Mitrovic is suspended for the next game it is down to two candidates:

tailgunner: 37 + Andreas

Shanee. : 40 + Kepa

I forgot there was a game left, thought I was gone!

normanoffside · 12-01-2023 11:04pm

41-41 brings in a Tie-Breaker.

Shanee. has 3 goals (Mitro (c) x 2 and Rashford) to tailgunner's 1 (Mitro)

So I think tailgunner is eliminated.

The worst double gameweek I've ever had! I got every decision wrong ...fully deserve elimination.

Good luck to the remaining contenders.

Thanks for running the league.... I'll be back next year.
