What's with the app suddenly being shite?
The app has always been utter tripe. Completely revamped my team yesterday. Really happy with the team, but is Gabbiadini sure to start? Soton have really favourable fixtures at the start and I'd want to have their first choice starter.
Hmm that's a good shout actually. I went with Chicharito but West Ham have some quite tricky fixtures.
Wasn't Gabbiadini absolutely tragic after his initial burst last season?
My main game forward line is Gabbiadini, Firmino and Kane. Probably the pikiest trio imaginable.
Swapped in Cedric and Gabbiadini for Angel Rangel and Benteke, boosting my defence and taking advantage of Southampton's early fixtures.
I'm in fuckers.
Doing a LIVE draft in the pub later. 8 or 9 of us in the league, hopefully 6 or 7 of us in the pub, 1 doing it from home and 1 letting the computer pick. Should be fun.
I'm a twit
Or stressful
is this already full up?
You can join the normal league, draft one is a wrap I think.
The draft one would have to re-draft to include new players. If you wanted to join and use the players no one else picked up, you could, but I doubt either or those 2 things would really happen.
Ah, no worries.
Anyone able to find a link for the website that hosted the league table position prediction game? My googling has only led me to some click bait articles.
Tried to name my team Dank and ended up with Danl. I'm just gonna have to live with that one.
You can change your team name.
Was gonna make a thread but this'll do. What are some good/bad player or team name puns you've seen for fantasy teams?
I'm a big fan of Real SausageYaDad and Show Me The Mané.

My waiver spree has been successful. Niko now stands no chance. At least not if Laurent Depoitre gets on the pitch for 'uddersfield.
Firmly dans la poche.
I've had that Depoitre fellow in my actual team on and off (now off) so he's bound to bowl in with a classic centre-forward's hattrick this weekend.
Also, lol at John Arne trying to poach first round picks, the little rapscallion.
FPL goes into LOCKDOWN at 6:45pm tonight.
Benteke and Tom Carroll (with intention of not starting him at all) or Zaha and Abraham (also mainly a bench player)?
Here's mine. I don't think it's very good.
I always get sucked in by defenders.
I'm currently debating the merits of Iheanacho v Gabbiadini. Shakespeare is exactly the sort of twat who won't start the former until February. Neither of them offer a great deal other than goals, but are sexy finishers for the price.
Might just side with the pizza muncher on early opposition.
I've sneaked in.
Wilian, Mane and Zaha behind Kane and Aguero. Woof.
My team:
Foster/Heaton
Def: Davies, Bailly, Lejeune, Hegazi, Mee
Mid: Matic, De Bruyne, Alli, Fabregas, William
Att: Jesus, Lukaku, Ayew
Just made a last minute triple sub. Cedric, Eriksen and Gabbiadini out and Bailly, Matic and Jesus in.
any suggestions appreciated (tho i guess we are all in the same league so maybe that doesn't make sense)
Sigurdsson and Rüdiger probably won't play Bruh. Lindelöf and Fosu-Mensah aren't sure to start either.
oh fuck that's right cuase he might fuck off to Everton
didn't know shit about Rudiger tho just assumed since he's new he'd get thrown into the squad smh
thx bub.
Sam Vokes to the rescue for my draft horror show.
Cahill botching it on all fronts.
Already made a transfer for next week.
Dunk out for Hegazi.
So fuck you all who had him before, he's going to be jinxed now.
Should of made Morata captain
Spurs heavy defence.
Fucking Danny Rose though.
I assume the draft makes subs as per the normal game.
Few players have came in clutch scoring but christ I've fucked it with my defenders. No one playing.
Don't think I've ever scored over 80 points on gameweek 1. For once a decent start.
I think the last time I had such a 'good' start in terms of points was when Big Christian led The Villa on a bit of rampant Arsenal bashing, but the reality here is that half the league have Lukaku and I imagine it's going to be a fairly high scoring week, so average at best I suspect.
Major downers being no Lindelhof (Phil fucking Jones?) and Gary the twat Cahill's red card extravaganza (I had Luiz and Bailly instead of those two pillocks until the very last minute).
Fascinated to see what's happened in the draft league. My team is awful, but Sam Vokes may have ridden to the rescue on the back of a slew of injuries and suspensions.
45 for me.
Damn captain Kane.
Bringing in Lukaku instead for Kane right before deadline payed off well. Can't have Milner at 6,5 if he's not gonna play. One more week If he's not starting he's off.
Top of the league and here to stay. Would have been even better if Yoshida converted one of his chances, Benteke could have had a couple on another day too.
