I've got sky but won't be at home
Hark at Sunshine and his life! Out in the evening, what a luxury!
As with most, I've been nobbled by the postponed Arsenal v Man City game, but I'd been wanting to make a few changes to my team so played my wildcard. Still got two players out (assuming I don't need any subs...), though, so still getting a kick in the teeth this week.

Indeed. Most of us really feeling the pinch with the cost of living crisis and the current economic downturn and Sunshine enjoying both Sky and going out. And then rubbing our faces in it. Heartless.
Quote: Stephen Goodlad @ 18th October 2022, 7:19 PMMost of those high price players apart from Haaland have had poor results. I suspect Haaland might be a flash in the pan.
Even though I'm bottom, my team is coming to the boil nicely. I was 2nd top points scorer at the weekend beaten only by horse (who is sadly absent from this site now)
Haaland has 15 goals in 10 premier league games. That doesn't fit any definition of 'flash-in-the-pan' I'm aware of.
Radish needs to post here - it's a requirement of being in the league. He's also leading the league at the moment, so is danger of turning into a Gerry tribute act. I cut him massive slack last season and pleaded with him to post something worth reading, so if he doesn't show up he will be chopped.
Well, not unhappy with captaining Trossard, since he had three shots on goal and should have scored. Very unhappy at losing both my Palace cleanies to Traoré scoring his yearly goal though. F**king unacceptable.
Wanted to change my team name to 'My milkshake brings all the boys to Trossard', but they don't give you enough letters.

But you've only got 6 players on the field, with the MC/ARSE not playing, and we're H2H this week, so I'm not complaining. ?
The vicissitudes of playing the FPL.
It is a long flash in the pan
I've joined the H2h league but don't follow it much
However beating kipper by a single point did come up on my radar
small victories against the Illuminati are always nice
Seriously, why the almighty f**k has Anton got Alisson?

Mad isn't it?

Bowen missing that pen was worth a net 21 points to you. If he'd scored you'd've got 3 for Alisson instead of 15 and I'd have got 8-9 for Bowen. Instead of taking 6 points out of your lead, you went 15 points ahead. Mad indeed.
Very carelessly left 20 points-worth of midfielders on the bench this week.
I daren't look.
Well I didn't captain Haaland again which was dumb
I think he can keep the armband on from now on

Not dumb, Salah is one of the very few players who can act as a differential to Haaland and actually outscore him. The last time Haaland played in the FPL he didn't score and in the same game Salah got a goal, so not dumb. Risky, yes.

Had an email from the league titled "How many points on your bench?" Talk about rubbing it in!
Mine said 'why are you so useless?
It's great when the game itself goads you! Well done on your points haul Godot.
