Martinelli has scored 32 points in the two weeks since I sold him. One more than the 31 pts he scored in the 8 weeks I had him. This game eh...

I have sort of retired from the FPL (and the super 6)
Not flounced or deleted myself, I just don't have the dedication it requires.
Especially the super 6 as they sneak in too many mid-week contests with no warning or emails.
At least with the FPL you still have players if you miss a deadline. Super 6 = nil pwa.

Let me get my little violin out, and give you a refrain.....................(still, you're in good company with your mate Lazz, who did the same thing)

Yes that came in handy
Especially as I might have shipped him if I hadn't needed to use my transfers elsewhere
I've been unlucky with injuries again though having Joe Gomez out in a double clean sheet game week for Liverpool

As I think I said at the Brighton Conference:
Quote: Billy Bunter @ 10th February 2022, 9:53 AMWe were looking for a new name for the league, Maybe next season, with a nod to Basil Fawlty, we could call it BCG League for people who have a better than fifty per cent chance of making it through the season.
Perhaps we can have a plack (sic) dedicated to those who have fallen in the fray.

HAHAHAHAHA... oh, I did the same...
Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 25th February 2023, 9:26 AMAnd in in the H2H Anton has already opened up a whopping 12 point lead against league leader Ben. Great start Anton. (With your 1 point)
As long as he goes into every GW -14pts down then we have a chance!
I made a very silly mistake. Because of last week's double gameweek for certain teams, I used my wildcard chip thinking it was the one that changed my team for one week only.
But no - it was the one that changed the team permanently. As a result, instead of reverting to players like Kane, Rashford, De Bruyne, Martinelli and the odd Newcastle player, I have been left with a surfeit of Wolves, Everton & Liverpool players. Players from teams from which no-one would want a surfeit at the current time.
Oh well, I shall just have to put my managerial skills in the transfer market to the test over the next few weeks. Maybe I'll strike lucky and Iwobi will score a hat-trick for Everton this weekend.

Bunter, you fat owl! And as for Iwobi - I have him in my team, but am looking to get shot of.
Why the F did I give Haaland the armband
I thought Anton might wild card this week but I didn't expect him to wildcard in exactly the same team!
That means he's planning to bench boost in 29 as well. With 93pts between us I've basically got no chance of catching him now. Game well and truly over.
Steve's also wildcarded in the same team as well, but at least he's behind me. Presumably he feels much the same as I do.
As for the Mitoma/March debacle - I had it on Mitoma for much of Friday, but chose March for a valid reason, which I'm not going to say. It could have gone either way and who's going to drop an Arsenal mid against Bournmouth to accommodate two Brighton or drop Rashford?
Yes I went for the same Template as Anton and Godot so that I wouldn't have to bother doing anything much for the next few gameweeks
But Dropped Liverpool players in the process which has cost a fair few points
But who cares, 7-0 brilliant
I'll wear my Rashford Points haul with pride

There's a joke in here somewhere but I'm too tired to look for it. 😉

Never sorry to see Liverpool win or United take a shoeing. I look forward to them losing one nil away to Bournemouth next week.
Last week, because of Liverpool's double gameweek, I had Salah as captain and Nunez. This week, in a panicked effort to atone for my error of using the wrong chip, I used up 8 points to transfer them out so I could get Kane & Rashford back. Kane & Rashford scored 4 points between them; Nunez & Salah (as captain) scored a total of 54 points.
Even beaten in the H2H by someone who has "sort of retired" from the league.
Not happy.

Yes, why did I, and by the looks of the points scored, no one saw that coming!
