Quote: Godot Taxis @ 17th August 2022, 2:37 PMFor the avoidance of doubt I have never been a member of a 'cheat site'
Nor have I.
Nor has anyone who plays the game. There is no such thing as a cheat site. You simply can't cheat at football results unless you're involved in illegal match fixing. If any of us were cheats we'd be millionaires by now. It's a clumsy misuse of the word cheat, which shouldn't be labelled at fellow players. C**t is fine cheat is not, imoo. Good morning.

Yes, but..................
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 18th August 2022, 9:01 AMSpeaking of hacking - twice now I have seen somebody play triple captain in the first few weeks. on a player who would be the last one you'd look at for that honour, and they gain mega points, which to me, means they must have hacked the site.

Ok Maybe Cheat site is too strong a term
I guess it's better described as a site for hints and tips to give you an advantage over your opponents
Yes, but when you see some of the results over the last couple of weeks, I should think the so called "expert advice" is not worth listening to.
A better start, by far, for me this season. I never recovered from the first couple of GWs last year, and that was on top of dealing with the loss of Chappers' inspirational efforts.

Of which I wasn't a member, I only joined the LEAGUE for a prank via a third party website as explained. Then quickly left when the joke wasn't appreciated. I didn't go to the FFS site once, nor does anyone ever need to as you can get all the tips and insights you want on the FPL site.
Being a scout member is as far as I can gather by skimming the football fan sites, just a badge for show offs, FF anoraks and wums. It offers no advantages over the extensive stats and data given on the FPL pages.

Lazzard was too, but he resigned in disgust.
I had a strong Chelsea presence today
Leeds did them 3 -0 and to rub salt in the wound, Sterling was booked.
F**k me, I'm nearly on 50 points - I'm sure they've mixed me up with Godot. It's against the law for me to get out of the bottom two.
46 - 33 on H2H Stephen.....................
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 18th August 2022, 10:42 AMYou're assuming too much, to think I would win it.
No, that was last place consolation prize.
And to finish off in glory
2 Man City defenders that can surely keep a clean sheet against Newcastle......
2-1 down as I write.
Healthy 62 points, but still 11th. ? Talk about f**king deja vu.
But leapt up to 7th in the H2H, courtesy of Mr Goodlad - he's a good egg! ?
Probably regret it, but Son or De Bruyne...............De Bruyne or Son
Son has to go.
Quote: Stephen Goodlad @ 18th August 2022, 8:28 AMI really was going to give 'real prizes in the league I started.
A close relative of mine owns a Trophy shop and makes fabulous Cups, medals, resin, and crystal cubes.
But now there is a whiff of un-sportsmanship, I'm glad it's gone.
These are really nice - and would have been worth winning.
The league has always been plagued by a lack of sportsmanship - mainly in not pulling weight in terms of commenting. Some people are just c**ts and there's not much we can do about it.

According to the blurb on the Fantasy Scout site, they have a tool which evaluates your team selection using undisclosed AI algorithms and data mining. I'd call that cheating. In any case it's a million miles away from the senile coin tossing of our league and should be discouraged.

This sounds like the Yewtree defence to me (See 'The Crown vs 70s Entertainer' www.not_actually_a_real_link_you_idiot.com)
"I wasn't even aware that she was there until she bent down to tie her lace and my semi-erect penis accidentally fell into her mouth. I tried to warn her by gripping her right buttock firmly, but it was too late, she was gobbling me."

Chappers' head of skin served as both a warning and a strange comfort back in the day.
I've started badly - a consequence of too much work - and no pre-season legwork - but I hope to catch up. There are some tough competitors in front of me though.
