I'm probably gonna make changes all night lol.

GL everyone, and have fun :) :thumbsup

11.46 and suddenly I'm convinced my entire team is awful :1orglaugh

Good luck to you!

And Costa starts, FFS lol

Not good start for ne of the first gameweek.

Yikes, not a great start for me :(

Damn, what a week.
I'm just letting everyone get a headstart.

That was BRUTAL!

BRUTAL! So early though...lol.

I took Coutinho and Kouyate out of my team last minute, devastated. Great opener to the season tho.

One game left for GW1, Citys time to shine.

GAME WEEK 1 COMPLETE:


Wow that was a pretty shocking first GW with an overall avg score of 34 points. GW1 is always a random event so if things didn't go to plan remember we have 37 more GWs to go. The transfer window is still open with lots more deal likely to take place in the coming weeks.

Well done to the guys in the top 3. 60 point hauls was a great start to the campaign. We have a record number of teams in the league this year so thanks to Poppy for getting everyone involved and a big thank you to Ross at http://www.trafficforce.com for putting up the great cash prize!

Never great having your keeper sent off for starters on gameweek 1. Bah !!

This is a lot of fun and my team is off to a good start :thumbsup

I'm in first place!

Critics may say "It was all luck to get all those points, it's actually crazy. You have your captain on the bench and are playing with 5 defenders yet you still are top after GW1. Either way, good effort I have to admit, ballsy system but your defense absolutely cleaned up for you with Kompany getting a goal as well. I see some tough weeks ahead for you tho, Man City sold Dzeko so you are going to have to transfer him out lol."

However in reality, I'm sorry to say, the critics are looking at my team all wrong. What they call '5 defenders' are actually what we refer to as 'five very shy strikers' and each is lethal when finally given the opportunity to shine. Dzeko will be awarded our team mascot suit and shall parade along the sidelines during games selling beer. Also, our Captain was not 'on the bench', he was a decoy working feverishly out of bounds to capture the opposition's attention while blurring their ability to focus on the action.

Now I just need to figure out how to fake a whole bunch of injuries to run out the clock and win the tournament, the same way real soccer teams do it! :winkwink:

Congrats on killing it in GW1 :thumbsup
You won't end up in the Top 10 at the end of the League, wanna bet? :winkwink:

I am more than happy for everyone to know you quoted me and I still stand by it :1orglaugh

Luck, skill or magic, who cares, great effort all the same. I'm coming for ya now tho, it's on!

My entire team has a hamstring injury... please keep the clock running for a few more weeks while we get medical attention from our trainers.

No, we fired the trainer instead. Chelsea fans will get this reference :winkwink:

Im in the middle of the table so im still alife

Right. Time to make some changes. Already ! :helpme

Damnit, missed the deadline as I didn't know these Friday night games were a new thing! Oh well...lol.

Game week 2 complete:


Seems that the bandwagon players managed to do it again for week 2 :upsidedow If this is your first year in FPL you have come in at a time where things have really been thrown up in the air!

Congrats to you guys at the top getting over 100 after the ups and downs of the first two weeks is great stuff :thumbsup

Oh and a special mention to Manager Relentless for using his Tripple Cappo chip on Bony :1orglaugh

I used my 'tripple cappo chip on Bony' to get rid of it. I didn't think it would be fair for me to have easy ways to stretch my advantage over you. This week I intend to use my 'four goalkeepers on the field at once chip.'

* Two weeks done and 'the guy who watches a few world cup games once every four years' is now entrenched in SECOND PLACE! :winkwink:

Game week 3 complete:


Good luck to all for the next game week :thumbsup

Thank God for Cech! Not a great week for me, but I remain focused!

I had a fairly decent week and am still fine tuning. Just made 2 transfers that I think can help but of course, it will prob back fire lol.

Some big players sitting on page 2 of our league, not naming any names but dayuuuuum! :winkwink:

Another week down, another crazy set of results. Chelsea losing to Crystal Palace at home, only their second lose at home under Mourinho. United struggling badly and losing to Swansea. Liverpool destroyed. Manchester City are looking real strong already but have just added one of the best young players in EU to their team.

I'm loving this season so far. We need Cheslea, United and Arsenal to splash the cash today/tomorrow and bring in some quality or I think City are going to run away with the title this year.

Transfer deadline day is approaching, can't wait to see who arrives at each team.

Nice post Ross. Yeah, crazy results for sure.

On a separate note, where is Coatsy? He's not in the league anymore :(

I give up already... :Oh crap

Maybe he pulled out? I know he was in for sure, I remember seeing him.

Game week 4 complete:


Now we are in the middle of the international break and the transfer window is now closed. Up until January we now know the teams players that are available for our FPL teams. If things have not gone to plan don't worry as we 34 more GWs to go. So stick with it as it can all change over the many months ahead.

Good luck to all for GW 5 :thumbsup

Rage quitting after such a poor start :1orglaugh

Leaving the league is possible without deleting your team so maybe he will try to come back laster in the season. I for one will be the first to remind him that FPL is not for quitters :winkwink:

Game week 5 complete:


Seems like CFC are falling of a cliff when it comes to results. If Newcastle had have beaten WestHam last night CFC would have been in the bottom 3! City train keeps on rolling 5 wins and not a single goal conceded. The biggest loss for City is the Aggy injury which has also kept him out of the CL fixture at 13m+ many will be hoping he is fit for the next GW.

Defenders are racking up great points and some great midfield options available. The hardest choice is who to have as your front 3.

Good luck for GW 6 and see some of you in Amsterdam & Prague :thumbsup

this is a nightmare start lol

I was sitting in 7th place until that West Ham match. I have also played my wildcard already, I know it's early but I had to get rid of Costa, Milner and Clyne, they just weren't producing. I'm really happy with my team now, my front 3 are a bit weird but so far they are making it work.

Well, somehow the system didn't play my wildcard properly, or perhaps it was me fucking around w/ these stupid new chips they implemented. So, I took a -24pt hit! Oh well, onwards and upwards. Still early!

Oh man. I think you can only play one chip in a gameweek and your WC is considered a chip so if you played that after the chip, it wouldn't let you.
