    When you consider deleting all the FPL apps on your phone because one of your friends (rival) might get your phone during RAG week and you'll be afraid he'll do damage!

    When you start having FPL nightmares. Last night it was Cazorla scoring another penalty this coming GW, and I was actually like this in the dream:

    When the best part of your gameweek was seeing Ameobi not only started but managed to get an extra CS point and your first instinct is to gloat about it in your Fantasy football whatsapp group despite scoring crap for the week!

    When you've exams next week and you spend more time on your team for the midweek PL fixtures than studying for your exams :( That said I'm awful sick. Worst timing ever.

    When you have a dream where Rooney has gotten a goal and an assist in his last 7 games in a row and you wake up wondering if you can slot him in your team before eventually realising you're probably just nuts.

    A real sign your in trouble is when you ask her if she could postpone it by a week

    You know what? I love skiing. I love the mountains too. I really do. We're gonna go for a 1-week skiing holiday from 12th to 19th March. I should worry about finding the best value accomodation, the potential bargains on skipasses and ski material. But no. My main worry is checking WIFI availability and/or 3G/4G network signal strength up there 'cause you know that'll be right after GW30. Potential WC. THE key period of the season anyway. And obviously a matter of life and death.
    Sometimes, I just hate this bloody game myself :pac: :rolleyes:...

    You better hope they have WiFi or things could really go downhill and leave you feeling piste off.

    First season of FPL for me and pretty hooked...huge Liverpool fan but didn't really give a sh1t last weekend when Sunderland equalised as I was so chuffed with my Firminio captain pick

    My wife is pregnant. I keep referring to the weeks of the pregnancy as 'Gameweeks'

    'So, we should have the hospital bag packed by gameweek 36?'
    'So, Gameweek 37 onwards is considered full term?'

    Possible triple gameweek in 37?

    No, that was one of the first things I checked back in 'gameweek 12'! There won't be any doubles or triples this season!
