Thank you so much for setting this up. I have just signed up so I look forward to it. This is my first season of doing Fantasy League so I'm pretty confident the relegation place is mine
Didn't have an awful start in my first week actually.
Like you @WestHam06, this is my first year of doing this, I feel like an amateur

I had a good weekend with my fantasy team. I had Son from Spurs and obviously he scored 4 times, so I'm very happy with him.

He has had an exceptional start to the season and I think he is a very talented individual. I have respect for him as well for choosing to move to Brighton in order to develop as a player rather than staying at Chelsea where he almost certainly would not have made the first team squad regularly. I hope he continues to develop and goes onto have a fantastic career (oh and the fact he is in my fantasy team
Absolutely, I admire those Chelsea youngsters who decide to leave and get game time, instead of being loaned out season after season.
Thank you, I hope your Fantasy side performs well this weekend too

I did make a couple of changes this weekend, with my free transfer I brought in Conor Cody, who I think I'll stick with despite the performance (plus he lost to West Ham so I am very happy
I brought in Watkins from Aston Villa this week who didn't score but was still on the winning side.

I had a good week I think, it's the best week I've had so far. I had Vardy so he got me some points and also Mane so I can't complain. Please may I ask, do you change your captain each week or have you just stuck with the same player as captain from the start? Thank you.
What about you?
Good luck this weekend.

You can stick with the same player you have captained if that player is really on form and can get you more points because the player that is captain points is doubled by 2. if the captain you selected is not available to play a matched then the points will go to the vice captain.
I initially started by changing the captain each week but I think I am going to adopt the same tactic as you and stick with the same captain, though today I learnt Mane is unavailable and he is my captain. That said, I'm happy with my vice captain so I think I'll stick to it as it is for now. Thank you. Best of luck to you for another great weekend
Hi @Ignatiusyork,
Thank you for sharing that with us, much appreciated
I had a pretty poor weekend overall. I replaced Son because I thought he was injured, then he only went and scored a couple of goals. I had Oli Watkins on my bench and he got a hattrick

How are you? I just wanted to say well done, you are totally bossing the fantasy league, got any tips
I don't know how good my tips are, but the main thing I'm doing each week is looking at how many points players have gotten in total, and making any decisions based on that.
I'm in a bit of a pickle this week though, I have van Dijk in my team and now he's obviously out for the season. I hope you have a successful weekend too

Thank you. I am pleased to hear that you are well, I'm ok thank you. Thank you for sharing these tips with us, I think I may have to adopt your tactics
I had Bamford in my starting 11 so that earned me most of my points this weekend, how did you get on @WestHam06 ?

Ah yeah that's a shame about Vardy, yeah I thought he wouldn't play either.

How are you? How was your week in FPL this week? Thank you
I'm very well thanks, how are you?
It was decent actually, I had a couple of unlikely goal scorers like Dallas and mings, I'm fairly happy with how it went. What about you?

I'm pleased to hear that you are well, I am good thank you for asking. I'm pleased you had a decent week, it's always great when you get an unlikely goal scorer to add to the points
Have you made any transfers for this weekend?

Thanks for joining! How are Southport doing this season?
I'm a Leeds fan. Are you going to join our fantasy league?

How do you feel about them being in the top league, it’s a bit like a small fish in a big pond isn’t it!!
I think I've mentioned it before on the football thread when you were around, but hey you interact with so many threads on here that it's expected that you forget stuff
It's pretty surreal at times, have to say I haven't enjoyed the last two games. Looking forward to when fans can go back to grounds though. How are you feeling about it so far?

I am just pleased to be in the premier league after so long and will be happy to be anywhere in it that doesn’t mean a demotion, haha! I agree with you on the most recent games, though!
How did you get on this week? Please may I ask what did you make of Bamford's disallowed goal, so harsh? Also, the Arsenal game, didn't see that coming? Thank you.
How are you? Welcome to the community and thank you for joining us. Awsome a Southport fan, I see you are 3rd in the League, pretty good start, only losing one, you definietly are in with a chance
I haven't seen Bamford's disallowed goal yet, but I think it's so unlucky that he was penalised for simply pointing where he wanted the ball to be played. I'm not a fan of VAR.
Definitely didn't see the Arsenal result coming, but I hope they play that badly when we face them next week.
And I would agree @66Mustang, survival has to be the ultimate aim.

Sorry for the late reply, hope you are well. I too, had an average week, so I can't complain. I agree, I am not a fan of VAR, I think it is ruining the game and it is too inconsistent for me. Football, for me, is about being in the moment and just admiring the game within the rules, VAR is taking it to the extreme and taking the beauty out of the game. I think Leeds will do well this season, you play great football! Thank you
how do you feel about West Ham's season so far?

How are you? How is your team doing? My team is doing ok thank you, I just can't seem to get the captaincy right. I captained Vardy this week thinking 'Leicester have Fulham, he's bound to score' and then look what happened there
And oh dear that's a shame about Vardy, I would have had him as a certain to score in that game.
I'm struggling with injuries, I keep having occasions where a player ends up being injured when I don't expect them to be.
