    Used my free hit to get around Maddison and Rashford being out and not being 100% on who would play for City. It's left me top 20 in my country

    For anyone who fancies feeling even worse about their season. I actually had one point less before the weekend than I would’ve had I not done any changes.

    326 points had I not touched it but my changes have taken me to 408.

    Therefore I am the greatest Fantasy manager in the land.

    394 and my team is absolute wank and has been tinkered with ineptly (only just got rid of Martial ffs).

    Captain choices almost universally dreadful, Matt Ryan only keeps clean sheets when he's benched, but, on the plus side, some good real life jinxing has been had so I'm definitely planning to wangle KDB in after the internationals to fuck him and City up for good. Might go all out and lose Salah to make funds available for Aguero.

    I'd actually have two more points had I not made any changes. Yeah pretty much sums up my season.

    I'd have fifteen more (414 vs 429). Confirms that I don't know what I'm doing.

    Otamendi comes on in injury time to block 21 Lundstram points off the bench. Head gone.

    Slowly but surely creeping up the table. It might be time for wholesale changes though as I have at least five who barely get points or games and Van Dijk isn't really needed either.

    I'm swapping for King because of injury. No cash needed.

    Recomending me to bring in Diego '2.3 pts per game' Jota as a form of sabotage though. I see you.

    Is there anything more satisfying then you put some random to fill out your team after a wildcard and he goes and scores a mental amount of points.

    John Baldock, take a bow.

    edit: SO random I don't even know his name. *George.

    I left Mane in, as three of the other top 5. Pepe lucked out the twat.

    This is the longest I've ever kept at it for so it's quite nice but still need a few things to fall my way. Spurs trio finally getting a clean sheet helped.

    Slowly seem to getting somewhere now, I think this week will end up a small red arrow but I've had a run of 6 green arrows.

    Have bought in Rashford for Jiminez and next week I am thinking TAA and Maddison out for Son and Aurier.

    TAA should be guaranteed now that Lovren is injured as Gomez is going to be needed in the centre. Possibly best to leave a few Liverpool lads out given we're going to keep rotating all month I imagine, hopefully not Mane though. I didn't even think we'd rest him and I should have known better tbf.

    I brought Kane back into the fold in replace of Aubameyang and a change of keeper with Henderson coming in. Vardy has to go next week though as I don't see Leicester doing anything against Man City or ourselves. This is the longest I have ever remained "in the game" so to speak, usually I've forgotten all about this by the 2nd week of the season.

    Pepe had an absolute stormer.

    I've got Robertson, but he's going out next week. The plan is to bring in TAA once the fixtures are back to normal.

    Can someone explain the FPL Cup to me? Do I have to do something different? The chap I got drawn against got 55 points, I got 60. Does that mean I'm through? He has Kelly on the bench who plays tonight but nothing seems to appear on the app.

    Straight forward knockout, random draw. Any points deductions from your transfers get deducted from your Gameweek score. So if you score 60 and your opponent 58 but you've taken a -4 points deduction, he/she goes through.

    In your case, all your opponents starting XI played so Kelly will have no impact on anything. You're through to the next round and this will be confirmed sometime this week.

    90 points this week after scoring just above average for last 5 weeks, back in the race and with a really good squad going forward.

    Cheers, Dave. I had a Google in the end and seems it's from now until pretty much the end of the season but it perks things up a little. I made a whole host of changes now but I think those with Salah and De Bruyne are stopping me from rising any further. I need a couple of good weeks to get into the thick of it, I think. Next season I'll pay even more attention though as my poor start really screwed me.

    The cup really doesn’t add much in my opinion. It’s pretty much just down to luck as you can score anything and go through or out. At least in the league you can look for differentials to gain points on your rivals.

    I guess it adds a little bit of interest for those who have had a poor start. Someone in one of my other leagues scored 92 last week and got knocked out!

    The cup is a great idea that's ran awfully.

    You always end up getting knocked out by someone who plays one of their chips. There is no skill in playing your triple captain and beating someone.

    If they just did base score and didnt count the chips in the cup it would be fairer.

    There's also people who have just entered a team especially for the cup, meaning they have full chips. I agree entirely that it should ignore chips.

    I've already used all mine in the league. Next season will be different as I'll understand it all a lot better. I've really enjoyed it this time round although much of that could be because I'm in mini leagues with colleagues etc.

    It's the first season I've properly taken it seriously and done my team every week. In previous years I've skipped a few weeks and as a result ended up with injured players in my team. One of my mates was super smug after winning it for the third year in a row so I vowed to knock him off his perch.

    Well....I have got my eyes on a top 3 finish in TTH one tbf so I can kind of relate. Not many of my friends are really into football and the one that is supports Everton and probably thinks Howard Kendall is still managing from beyond the grave.

    I had an ok start to the season but have dropped from 200k OR in week 11 to outside 2 million 6 weeks later. It's been absolutely comical on a weekly basis.

    Be interesting to see to what extent it's salvageable.

    I've quit this this week. I changed my entire team thinking that's what the free hit was for but it turns out it's for one week only?

    Meh. Next season I'll create a new one next season and put some serious thought behind it all as tbh it's been quite enjoyable but that's the third costly error I've made now. I'll wait for my inevitable cup knockout. Anyone got any decent sites for tips and hints etc?

    All those sites are wank. Look at James’ performance compared to my strategy of ‘pick players/teams you think are good’ strategy.
