Fantasy Football League 2015-16

[Lord Camomile]

You've always been able to!

Oh yeah, look at that

Does it make it worse that you're trailing such an incompetent boob?

 

[butchersapron]

The thing is, that power to see who you're playing down the road induces future anxiety. It does in me anyway, planning weeks ahead and having injuries mess everything up and inducing panic counter planning.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, on balance it's probably better for me that I had less to think about.

I'm very much one of the Walcotts of this world - given too much time I'll overthink things and 8 times out of 10 mess it up.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Following the above revelation, I was checking out old GWs. Here's a team right from the start - haven't got a single player from that squad in my current one!

 

[big eejit]

I don't think I've ever looked at an opponent's team ahead of an H2H game. Just cos I couldn't be arsed basically.

Maybe I should take a peak at CockyFlops this week, as the H2H is the only piece of silverware I might win this season!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I do, for all the good it does me

 

[big eejit]

I do, for all the good it does me

I spend too much time worrying about my own team to worry about other people's!

 

[elbows]

I'm glad I didn't even realise there was a H2H thing until the season was well underway. If I'd signed up to that it might have got in the way of me enjoying myself with plenty of transfers almost every week.

Which is your team?

 

[starfish]

And it goes from bad to worse. Decided to take a 4 point hit & actually tossed a coin, in my head, to choose between Ighalo & Deeney.

 

[elbows]

I hope it landed on Deeney because Ighalo hasn't got more than 2 points in the last 12 prem games!

It didnt & i probably should have checked their form. My opponent may well have done.

 

[starfish]

Wildcard played. Im hoping it will end my slump.

 

[elbows]

Rashford not playing at all today!

 

[butchersapron]

The abandoned team that i'm playing somehow has 9 double-weekers, including the cpt.

 

[elbows]

I hope Martial 'having a problem' in warmup isn't indicative of how my luck will go this week. I see a hell of a lot of bench boosts and triple captains are being played this week.

Ouch.

 

[marty21]

And of course I got rid of Vardy after he got sent off

 

[Lord Camomile]

And of course I got rid of Vardy after he got sent off

As the goals went in I was wondering how many people would still have him in their squad. That penalty miss will have cost though...

Oh, only -2, cancelling out his bonus points - still gets 10 points.

Had a terrible weekend so far - Rashford not even playing, Cresswell conceding 3, triple cap Payet getting nothing beond the standard 2 for showing up... Don't think it's a particularly high scoring weekend for anyone, though.

Yeah and I've just been screwed by Liverpools ever rotating team. At least Kane didn't do anything in the saints game so the general low-point trend continues at least until the 4pm games.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Four point hit to bring in Firmino, doesn't play

I knew it was a risk because I know what Klopp's like, which actually makes it worse

 

[Lord Camomile]

Four point hit to bring in Firmino, doesn't play

Off the bench and onto the score sheet!

 

[elbows]

So Martial turned out to be both the start and the end of my bad luck this double game week. And once the bad luck ended it only took minutes to go from really awful points to pretty great points.

Hell, even Liverpool seem to be managing to start with all the big names tonight.

 

[starfish]

That wasnt too bad a week for a change. Lots of interesting H2H games this week. Its gone down to the wire for the Top 3.

Top two easy wins me (maz holz) not so. That Kane 95th minute petulant booking when they lost it at chelsea has done me.

On paper you have the harder game but in football anything can happen. Good luck to all of you, its been a fun season.

Ta! I did snatch it on the last day last season. Anyway, yes, been fun again and looking forward to next season.

Will need to check my previous years placings but my 6 game winning streak at the start of this one probably made it more fun than i can remember.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm totally flummoxed, very few obvious winners and losers.

Aye, which teams will be up for it tomorrow? Will Newcastle turn up & do Spuds? Will Man U run all over Bournemouth? And what about West Ham? Still a few teams with a lot to play for.
