If you have aguero in your team do you ever NOT captain him?
Can understand circumstances when your chasing posi in money leagues.
Once you have him in you squad you gotta pick him "most" of the time........agreed?

The vast majority of the time, absolutely. I went for Sanchez and Hazard a couple of times each over him last season however and it worked quite well. Looking at the fixtures up until Boxing Day, I think I'll captain him in all but 2 weeks from GW5 up to and including GW18. Presuming Arsenal and Chelsea attacking coverage have picked it up, I'd favour one of them in GW's 13 and 15.

That'd give the follow (C) options from now until Boxing Day: pal/STO, WHU, tot, NEW, BOUR, mnu, NOR, avl, NOR, SOU, sto, SWA, SUN, SUN

And there the poster credited the guy who posted it on twitter which is only fair.

That's been around ages so I wouldn't worry about credit

Not one I have come across before and guessing not many others either even if its not the original source always good to credit where you get something. Still pretty funny even if it is an oldie!

Well I think it was originally a championship/football manager joke but works just as well for fpl :P And yep, it's a good one alright

Will Evans feature regularly?

One would imagine so but it's probably best to hold a week or two to be sure

Delph just replaced in Euro Qualifier with a hammy.

Just read a few post by

on price volatility, templates, "herd mentality" etc.
Very interesting......even to a layman.
Worth a read.

"We’re a few weeks into Fantasy Premier League now, the big names aren’t quite hitting the mark yet, so it’s easy to lose faith in your team. I have some (pun-filled) thoughts and advice whilst the international break is on…


Fantasy Premier League can be a KRUL game. We all recruited big expensive stars into our teams that aren’t GRABBAN as many points as we thought they would. Chelsea’s defence have looked unusually HAZARDous and Rooney has looked sluggish like he’s been eating all DEPAYs (as the chant goes).


On the other hand, some players that were going for a SONG have looked CLASIE, and more still PUNCHEON above their weight. The managers near the top of the leaderboards now are the one’s who CLEVERLEY brought them in early.
The season is YOUNG. Don’t get BOGDAN with these early misfires and keep HART with the team that you selected using all your WISDOM at the start. Listen, WALCOTT problems with our ORIGInal selections, but your players need to be GIVEN time to find their VORM. I know you’ve probably got TADICy transfer trigger fingers at this point, but it’s the NOBLE thing to do.


Take me for example, AMAVIn a hard time trying to keep a MCCLEAN sheet over here, my defenders have been DYER and KANTE seem to get their **** together. They need to stop playing like a bunch of CISSEs, DELPH a bit deeper, CHAMAKH themselves in the face a bit and start FIRMINOp at the back. Really, HOWARD can it be.


That said, if player’s continue to register a NAUGHTON the scoresheet, be SHAW to keep a CABAYE on the price drops, and don’t be BLIND sided by them - you don’t wan’t to be losing too MUTCH team value early on. For FUCHS SAKO, CECH them SON.


IBE personally BENTEKE my time with transfers, but ANITA to now get the STERLING out and start WHELAN and DELANEYing before any more 0.1mils GOMISsing. ANYA probably should be doing the same as it’s going to COSTA bit more to get the best players in the LONG run. You don’t want to find yourself CROUCHing in the corner of the room raging that YOSHIDA trusted your gut and MARTIALed in that player before his value ROSE, instead of SHELVEYing your plans until next week.


So who AYEW going to bring in when changes need to be made? Well, what MATAs most, and what I think is the KI, is that form and fixtures are KING in this game. Don’t just fuKINSELLA player on a whim for EVANS sake, think ‘WATMORE CAN I do to get the best from my team’? GALLOWAY from everyone for a bit, WARD off all invitations for KOMPANY, DRINKWATER, and take your time to REID the upcoming fixtures.


TARGETT the right players who can get you MOORE points over the next couple of weeks. You might just have that ‘ZAHA’ moment and TAYLOR your team perfectly to produce the points RITCHIEs for an absolute CAULKER of a week, which will inevitably see you ZOUMA right up the leaderboard - making you cry with joy like you’ve won an OSCAR or a TOUREnament.


This may sound CLICHY, but INGS can only get better from here if you follow this advice. Something you should always MBEMBA, every cloud has a SILVA lining."

Anyone else with "Fuchs" in their team name just get an email saying it's been deemed offensive?



Better choose a tame one this time

How many will change it to I don't give a Fuchs or go Fuchs yourself etc! Paul Dickov was a great one for team names back in the day.

The internationals have been a welcomed break.

.... i haven't logged on to look at my team in 10 or more days and looking it now feels like looking at my on line bank balance after a heavy weekend. "Oh Christ, I still have Walcott on my bench".... "I spent hoooow much on Rooney last night" etc etc

Opinions on whether its worth using my 2-5-3 chip this week..

Front 8 are

Silva Sanchez Mahrez Ayew Payet

Wilson Gomis Aguero

Defenders are

Darmian Kolorov Targett

Your situation is so similar to mine.

Shaw Kolarov Targett
Depay Sanchez Mahrez Ayew Payet
Aguero Sakho Wilson

The same decision is going to bug me for the day.

DDG has signed a new contract.
