A disastrous start to me due to most of my defenders being injured, and then having too many Arsenal players due to Raya's transfer. As a result, it's only this week that I've managed to start getting a squad in order which should all play.
And, seriously, Mac Allister's red card is overturned, but the docked points don't get removed in FPL? Ha!
Yup
Making it a very Jammy win for Godot against me in the H2H

Blazin' a trail, pal. It's what champions do.
Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 26th August 2023, 10:21 AMYou've left the league now so you can't see his progress. 6 members now still room for more, code still on here if you wish to rejoin and marvel at Malcom's marrow.
I left, Alf because I didn't agree with you starting another league, it seems to me, to accommodate Don; but you have played right into his devious hands - can't you see that?
He'll hopefully (in his mind) top your league at the end of this season and then post his own "official" league showing him integrated into Godot's 'Up the Clique Without a Paddle', and so, we are back into the same debacle!!
AND, what worries me, is that Godot will then say "F**k it" and leave the FPL for good, which would be a crying shame as he is very valuable asset to the league, with his wisdom and insight regarding football.
I have absolutely no argument with Don joining the OFFICIAL FPL league, run by Godot, but them's his rules and if Don doesn't qualify until next season, then so be it.
Sorry Alf, but I think you have made a big mistake.
Okay. But the league's staying and he can say what he likes at the end of the season, it's a free country, I'm not driven by personal prejudice and I want to play in a competitive league with proven winners and now I'm in two. And it's a game, not a war.
I'm all for a "super" league in which we all belong (the more the merrier), but if it came to a choice of Godot or Don, I know who I'd go for.
We had two leagues before, which the majority didn't like and I thought this time it will be different, but now you have put us back where we were a couple of seasons ago.
Don must me rubbing his hands with glee, loving this and bless the day you championed him
When the fun stops, stop.
Man City (and Haaland in particular) well out of sorts this afternoon. In the absence of Pep.
Edit: I take that back!
Dropping Sterling (19 points) for Mitoma (1 point) is a pain that is going gnaw at me until the end of the season. ☹
Bad team selection policy. Having Darwin Nunez on the bench as my second substitute when only one qualifies to come on.
Opposite happened here
Bought in Akanji for Shaw at the cost of 4 points
and Pep Bless him didn't play him for a single minute, thank you sir
So although Darwin wasn't in my Natural selection I still got the points
I'll put my hands up. I totally fluked getting 17 for Cash this week. He was my third sub and obviously had a point to prove. Madness! Fantastical madness.

It's not wasted Steve.

I wouldn't read Anton's post then.

DOH!! Too late...................but it doesn't surprise me in the least. I simply knew my season had got off to a fluky start, and here we go again with a season of mid table mediocrity.
I feel an early Wildcard use coming on again, and f**king it up even more - some people are born to be also-rans, and that's me folks! 😥

Don't forget I also got a -2 for Sarah's penalty miss, so we'll leave the condiments on the sideboard.

I see what you did there.

Was pretty happy about taking points out of you, Steve and Radish till you all got double digits off the bench. First sub is kind of the point, so it's annoying but to be expected but you even put Beyer in front of him! I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't the best bit of luck anyone will have all season
