This is what you get for 12.6m: Last game against 10 men was a disaster. You would expect him to be more involved.

I have been putting 20 points on the 2nd placed player for the last 6 weeks or so!

Totally agree copper, might as well pat ourselves on the back on a quiet bank holiday Monday. This is a brilliant forum with quite a few of the best fpl minds in the business. We all know who they are, no need to blow any individual trumpets.:p

jamesbondings wrote: » I think you are correct, and may i take this opportunity to officially thank you for your advice!:D I did succumb to getting him in, and that week he played a total or 6 mins before being taken off injured lol. I do find myself reserved in posting sometimes in case i get in completely wrong. (Got in Sakho 2 GW ago, not doing bad but he is going for costa if costas injury isnt too bad) But then i find a bit like the betting forum, after timing is frowned upon! I really find the lack of "hahahaha @aguero/kane/costa captainers" refreshing, however 9 times out of 10 i think we are all roughly on the same page when it comes to captain choices, we really do have a stellar bunch of lads who give great informed opinions on all aspects of FF.

This site is great that if you are thinking of bringing in a player and others are building the player up/down that will finalise your decision, people planning ahead showing you who has good fixtures or a cheap player getting a place and doing well all help. How do people spell the Spurs Danish midfielder Christian Eri~~~~~~

I see this a lot in my private money league I'm about 110 points clear at the top this year having won last year. I also try to keep my 2 free transfers as much as possible. This forum has fantastic posters and I know that I wouldn't be where I am without it.
jimmii wrote: » Sure I'm 200+ clear in my friends leagues not the most competitive leagues! I used to use it early but not as much value in it as previous seasons with the way price changes are. I have mine now but hard to really see how to use it well fingers crossed Liverpool win so at least that's another match for a dgw! The weather hasn't helped too those 16 match dgws are the ones you really want to see!!
