Lets say the previous season where they weren't on them, do you think it's a level playing field you having access to boards and discussing moves with folk on here? Maybe they just got lucky this year, but there is no need to throw the toys out of the pram.

It's a great resource but with all the sites now and Twitter feeds there's just too much info available easily.

I'd say you're right about all the 3rd party sites making the game too easy but your comment about refusing to pay the subscription to FFS is the comment that caught my eye....... I too have refused to pay those sites but is that now proving unwise?? There is money to be made in out ML's so a little investment should help us reap rewards Or, and it's a big or, if everyone is paying those sites for information does it all then come down to luck???

I still think your best bet is to watch as much football as you can. For example aguero had great stats in a game against burnley recently but I watched that game and it wasn't what the stats would have you believe. To get an edge in the game I think you need to be prepared to go with your gut and take the odd risk something I'm finding myself doing less of as with all these sites you start worrying about who everyone else has.
G1032 wrote: » That makes sense too. I've been far too easily swayed by what I've seen on here. The information here is incredible but I've not filtered it correctly over the last two seasons. I've not gone with my gut enough either and I've been paying far too much attention to price rises. I've also been watching much less football over the last two or three seasons and if I get a chance to watch the Arsenal game it's about as much as I'll see all weekend bar the very odd night I'll see MOTD.

U go on about "causals" beating u or getting big scores to finish, what are u an elite pro? It's a free to play "fantasy " game that is quite open to educated guessing. Sometimes u get it right n other times it comes out backwards. Just like when u take a punt on a player n it pays off. It was just that, a guess. U also tried making a point that u heard winger say sanchez was tired n u knew taking him out was the correct course of action but when he turned out not be to the cas, the ppl who left him must be idiots. It was a possibility he was on the edge of burn out then n everybody could see it, hence why the press asked wenger did he think sanchez was tired especially in a world cup year n first year in premiership Xmas madness period of matches. Of course he said yes n that he'd get rested soon. Didn't actually make it happen. I don't think ppl are idiots or got it wrong for ignoring that, they took a chance n were lucky. Same with ur Kane comment. Everything looks different from the future. Throwing the toys out the pram now makes u seem conceited and so does saying how u basically give advice here, not receive it. Saying that ur so confident about ur transfer n that u don't need other ppls opinions is tit-ish to me, perhaps u didn't mean it like that.

Every casual player in my FPL league had Austin as captain, and everyone I have seen as a rival over the years had Kane so I'm happy with my c choice even though it didn't work. I've read a number of comments on FFS etc saying captaining Austin over Kane was braindead/easy/simple decision. Newsflash, no it was not. It was very difficult. I could spend 30 mins writing out my deliberations but I couldn't be bothered today. I actually felt in the end that Kane and Austin would score within 3 points of each other. But QPR go away and score 4 at WBA. Someone please tell me the odds of that. :rolleyes:

jimmii wrote: » Sure the kids like their bragging over there thats for sure! Every week the captain choices are fairly marginal this week I figured the difference was the extra 2 points Austin would get for playing not much more in it than that. The variance is high in FPL people just have to learn to embrace that and not feel too hard done by when they are on the wrong end of it.

You can't have the excellent weeks without weeks like this. Look at mine... Captained Kane over Austin (then QPR score 4!) Sold Sanchez (then Arsenal score 4!) Benched Bellerin (who scores) Bought Naughton (who suffers a season-ending injury) Silva and Aguero blank (against a Palace sice with 1 cs in 11/12 games) Mane on bench What can you do? Feck all! It's part of the game.
