[passenger]

[starfish]

First big decision made. Rooney & Fabregas out Costa & Mahrez in.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Not playing this daft game any more

Not playing this daft game any more

I'm having a shocker of a season so far

Yeah, you know what, we've all probably got better things to do, should we just knock it on the head and leave it there? If we all agree to accept the league as it currently stands then we can all get on with just enjoying the season, watching matches for the pure joy of the sport and not worrying about who scored a goal or who got the assist. So, current leader wins?

Whoever that may be

 

[Lord Camomile]

Dammit, everyone's taken today off because of the bank holiday, so the one week I have to gloat at share my joy with my colleagues is being stolen from me by 2/5s!

it's a marathon not a sprint, I still have hopes of rising majestically from my current false position of 69th in the league I totally should have had way more points at this stage of the season #DoingAMourinho

I'm that guy who's sprinted out early at the front of a marathon pack just to have his moment of glory, because lord knows I won't be there at the finish! I'll be in a pub at around the 10 mile marker watching it all on TV

 

[passenger]

9 th lol, it looks a long way down from here , big crowd`s due at the jungle techno arena

 

[marty21]

70th out of 71

and yet, I'm 12th/22 in the h2h league

 

[big eejit]

I've climbed to dizzy heights of 20th place, 6th in H2H thanks to Payet brace last night.

 

[passenger]

70th out of 71

and yet, I'm 12th/22 in the h2h league

its the taking part that counts

well i can`t see how i dropped 10 down to 21 st

 

[starfish]

Im still a bit gobsmacked. It wont last though.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Lost my 100% record in the H2H.

Stupid Cazorla, scoring 8 points the week I finally give up on him

 

[Lazy Llama]

Lost my 100% record in the H2H.

Yeah, sorry about that

{might not be sorry}

 

[Lord Camomile]

*shakes fist*

 

[marty21]

I'm convinced that EVERYONE else has used those new bonus points , all out attack and that early doors and that is the only reason I am doing so badly

 

[passenger]

no i used mine up i thought you could use them every week
im really not keen on them, i bet they don`t use them next time
it confused me and if i don`t do well there getting the blame

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm just massively paranoid about using them. The wildcard you can sort of plan when to use it, but the other ones seem far more of a lottery! I suppose you can sort of predict when they might be more useful, but bloody tricky...

 

[passenger]

i praying lots of people have used them otherwise i have had it
one bloke had 28 points on his bench boost he had the naismith hat trick
on the bench

 

[big eejit]

Is everyone sticking with Aguero for captain? Seems like a lame choice given his poor form.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Finally sell Ivanovic, fucker gets a clean sheet while his replacement ships two to West Ham at home and earns himself a yellow

 

[Lo Siento.]

That thing where you inadvertently leave a player on the bench and they score 11 points? That.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That thing where you inadvertently leave a player on the bench and they score 11 points? That.

Yeah, I have an idea of what that feels like...

SEVENTEEN POINTS SITTING ON MY BENCH!!

Played Wilson this week, but this time had Ritchie on the bench so miss out on another 8 points or so. At least they don't also give extra points for 'goal of the season contender'.

It's just always going to be like this though, isn't it. There's so many options that invariably each week one or two that you considered but rejected will come good. However, as an Englishman it is not in me to focus on the positive.

 

[Lord Camomile]

See, I'm already thinking "hmm, Martial's had a good start to his Man Utd career... "

 

[butchersapron]

Yeah, I have an idea of what that feels like...

You've got too much value on the bench.

 

[Lord Camomile]

You've got too much value on the bench.

This is probably true, I'm just wary of relying too much on transferring in/out too much.

 

[Lo Siento.]

You've got too much value on the bench.

Usually my bench is all lowest priced players (or one above). Either I clicked wrong, or I inexplicably decided Scott Sinclair and Bakary Sako would score more points for me than Mahrez

(Oh, and I picked dropped Joe Gomez, then put Matt Targett first sub )

 

[sihhi]

How many changes do people make every week?
