Fantasy Premier League Draft

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Draw ffs. Needed 2 points from two players this morning

 

[Agent TBY]

Second straight tie.

 

[Uppercut]

Second straight tie.

I thought I had that one. Where the **** did Lamina Kone's 3 points come from? Victor Wanyama's 4?

Although tbf Son not scoring more points was a miracle. I left Rashford on the bench again, could have got him on for Firmino if I'd paid attention on Friday.

 

[Pothas]

My losing streak starting to become quite impressive.

 

[GIMH]

I am doing surprisingly okay

 

[ripper868]

Given I don't particularly follow the game, I'm pretty happy.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The timing of games is a much bigger issue for me with this than I anticipated. I'm usually always at work when the afternoon games kickoff on Saturday/Sunday so I miss the squads and always end up starting someone who isn't playing. For example, this week I started Silva and had Gundogan on the bench. I should have anticipated it I guess. Oh well. I got smoked anyways haha.

Is there an option to lock in the teams before the teamsheets in the first game are in? I would much prefer that and it sounds like it would suit you better too. Too much micro-management ruins FFL imo.

I don't really like that idea, what if you have someone playing the Sunday games but they're a late withdrawal? This way you can still conceivably replace them and not be screwed over by it. I don't really mind it on my end, I could be more diligent if I wanted.

 

[Uppercut]

I would say that late withdrawals are equally likely to affect everyone, whereas being able to change your team after seeing the teamsheets benefits people who live in a European timezone and/or don't have to work weekends. Late withdrawals are also pretty rare. But I really don't mind, it's your call.

Happy to have it locked pre kick-off.

I did make a late switch on the Sunday this week but not sure why as I'd already won my game.

 

[Uppercut]

Nail biter against Smitteh this weekend. Need Ozil to out score Koscielny by two points to win.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Burnley score and its over for me.

 

[marc71178]

Ditto I'd say. Heaton vs Mustafi with a 1 point start for Heaton.

 

[marc71178]

Played ripper

 

[Agent TBY]

Ouch, that draw hurts.

Was good fun tracking it over the weekend, though. Very close.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Finally starting to turn it around. Thank God.

 

[GIMH]

Thought I was dead and buried, so pleased with the tie.

 

[Uppercut]

Of all the weeks to run into Pothas... In danger of finishing last now.

 

[ripper868]

Liking the trade aspect, adds a new element.
