Fantasy Football League 2016/17

I had a surprisingly good start - I often start badly, do well mid-season, then tail off again at the end.

Great, I placed Aguero as captain but for some reason this website didn't register it leaving it on Stones. Not a good start.

That's happened to me before. Once you've changed your captain, you have to remember to scroll down the page a bit and save the changes otherwise it won't apply. It's not always clear that it needs to be done, so can easily be missed.

[Adar]

I kinda nailed it and now I took the lead.

Congratulations to winning the first week!

Personally I am starting to worry about if my lazy template team will end up beating me for a long period of time. It looks like I nailed more choices there than in my real team

[Ybbon]

Well my team sucked big time - 24 points and holding you guys up! Things can only get better - hopefully anyway.

[Petrucci]

Thanks Adar.
Game week two just started.

[Gallus]

I'm having a shocking start. I had Zlatan in my team until gw1 deadline, but I had to take him out for Vardy. A word of advice - if you're happy with your team for 2 weeks, do not change it in the last hour!

[Petrucci]

Template team took the lead

Template team took the lead

And meanwhile my real team is struggling badly with injuries and a lack-of-Ibrahimovities.

I guess a lesson learned is that I should spend a lot less time thinking next season.

this.

Lesson 1: Pick the obvious
Lesson 2: Start your most expensive and cheapest players. Bench the 7.5 .

Had a rubbish second week. Made the mistake of taking the captaincy off Aguero and giving it ot Hazard for the week (I figured Man City might find Stoke hard to break down and Chelsea should do well against Watford), which cost me a number of points.

Also, I wasn't expecting Ibrahimovic to hit the ground running quite like he has. I definitely need to get him into my team, but will have to take a 4 point transfer hit to afford him. Add to that a number of injuries/players still not fit after the euros and I'm almost considering playing my wildcard already!

[Gallus]

I see you've also played your WC Adar. I had no choice really with Ibra and Hazard on fire and rising.

[Dr. Chet Manley]

Missed the captain 2nd week in a row. Will have to lose points next fixture for 2 transfers (again). No risk no gain

[Petrucci]

Last week my captain was Hazard and I got 8 points insted of 26 from Ibra-Kadabra , this week I put Batshuayi instead of Hazard getting 2 points instead of 22...

Yeah, banking heavily on West Ham players Ayew and Carrol was a bad move. Normally I play the wild card when struggling to put out a full team but that came early this year. I am starting to regret dropping Baines from the team but otherwise I think the surgery was quite good.

[Ybbon]

Gah, forgot the Utd/City game was early and didn't get my team submitted in time - and Aguero was my captain - another miserable total I bet.

[Gallus]

Another poor week for me. It's time for another hit. I'm thinking between 3 and 5 transfers this week.

[Tim1988]

I've just played my wildcard. Had a shocking few weeks, so need to shake it up a bit.

[Ybbon]

Did it again, forgot the Friday night start - Aguero still playing and captain. I have now changed him but I managed to leap 1 place only so I may use my wild-card this week.

[Gallus]

Like I've promised, I made 5 transfers. My team was simply not that good and I needed to change something before it's too late.

[Ybbon]

me too, wholesale changes, at this rate I'll be worse than Mourinho

[Petrucci]

Say that again.

I played my wildcard too and guys I put in played crappy so far.
