BCG Fantasy Premier League 2022/23 Page 25

Well I think his posts were long enough to still be counted now, so I back him being given the trophy if he wins this season.

This is my qualifying post should he not be awarded it and I can overtake the current chasing pack into 2nd. My old browser problem has struck again and I can't log in on my
laptop.
This is from my mobile, which is a right fiddle as ive just lost one attempted post on another thread. I can get on the FPL site so there's no excuses for my wobbly post world cup restart, again too much fiddling to blame. The shorter the gameweek the better i seem to do, as it gives me less time for fiddling.

Wow, I'm the only person who captained Mitrovic despite his obvious potential in a double GW. I guess you were all put off by his yellow card count, lol. Well, it was good while it lasted.

Not sure if i did right yet but no, i avoided giving it to him based purely on the teams he's facing. Unless he scores against Chelsea I think ill be vindicated, just not too sure i gave it to the right one.

Incidentally, do you know what the altercation was?

It was because, somewhat ironically, the person who runs this supposed comedy site objected to his comic remarks and said he wasn't being sufficiently serious.

Likewise. There's also the question of who I would ditch if I wanted to bring him in for one week - it would have to be either Haaland or Kane.

Okay thanks Billy. (And Goodlad).

I'm not sufficiently brain damaged to want to read a thread about the Tory leadership contest weeks after the fact, but I've dipped into it and I think Radish's contributions were a little bit more useful than on here. I think he's right to be indignant at Beaky's stupid imputation that his Julian Clary reference was homophobic. I can see why he felt scolded, but it's important to stand your ground.

Radish is a proven competitor and is playing well, and I will take on board your opinion and that of Kipper, but I don't want any repeat of the old days where the league was won by people who were never here. He can make my job easier by popping up with some sensible (and silly) posts.

I was referring to those who already had him.

He won't be facing Chelsea, he's banned. Five yellow cards within the first 19 matches. He only had to get through Tuesday's game, that's why it's such a bummer. Plus as well as not playing again, he got a minus point and lost his bonus, so his 18pts dropped back to 10. You should know that - your browser problems are obviously limiting your fantasy scout access.

On a serious note, PM me if you need help with your PC.

YES! Ben's extra player over me (Eze CP) only scored him 2 points tonight, which puts me in front on the crucial H2H by one point, with us both having the same players left for the rest of the games.

So, barring last minute tweaks, it's in the bag. ?

In other news I've now leap frogged Bunter for the fourth time...

Leapfrog - Oh What a Lovely War.

View original

Lol. And you've passed me again - courtesy of an unlikely brace and assist from Kane.

This has definitely been the highlight of the season for me so far.

No-one will care but Oh What a Lovely War (at theatre Royal Stratford) was what my parents saw on their first date.

Mmm, 8pts from 3 City assets and a Chelsea striker - and City won.

This season is genuinely so random it seems pointless putting any time into team selection. Might as well just treble up on Newcastle and Arsenal and go and polish the wife's mantlepiece.

On the bright side I've done enough to get in front of Bunter again! What is it now - number six?

SHIT! Just noticed sneaky Ben had played his Bench Boost.

So what have we learn't so far
Godot's main rival no offence is Anton ( I hope he doesn't prevent you winning yet another title Godot keeping that age old rivalry alive)
And above the play off places Horseradishes main rival is not posting, proving that Aaron can ruin any football thread on here even without trying
Dan Sweryts main rival is concentrating too much on the Super 6 league as you can earn money on that one
And Alf Kippers main rival is his Gold subscription to the Fantasy cheat site expiring because of the cost of living crisis
So as always
It's all to play for

It would have been a decent move if Brighton hadn't conceded a late goal.

Anyone else, who's currently in front of him, worried about Godot's charge up the table?

No one in front of him posts any more
present company excepted

All to play for chaps. So many games to come and so many more mistakes for me to make! Yes, a lot of us have similar teams so it will be the lucky punts that could win the day. My team name should really be Seduced By Salah as I keep putting him in my team only for him to go quiet. Has anyone named their team Mind the Gapko yet? Only a Mata of Time...

That reminds me, I mustn't revive the league naming competition.
I do have some pics from the Manager of the month award though, so should put those up.

Well, not going anywhere this week. Both Anton and Kipper have almost exactly the same teams and have captained the same player.

Bunter has got almost the same and has played his Triple Captain chip so baring a freak result should go past me again.

I was sorely tempted, and would have played TC on Haaland, if MC had been playing against weaker teams - I'll probably be proved wrong..................usually am.

And how come I've leap frogged Steve with neither of our team's players having played yet?
