Fantasy Premier League 2016-17

[Akmuq]

On my phone I have Forza Football after Goal Live turned extremely slow, but there is hundreds of apps that will give you the details of each match.

Anyway teams locked in now, let's see how this weekend plays out.

 

[Akmuq]

Brb panic selling my Leicester players

Edit: nvm had Mahrez, I'm off the mark

 

[Vegard]

Brb panic selling my Leicester players

 

[88GTA]

I had Schmeichel and Musa.

...but I also had Walker and Lamela.

 

[Akmuq]

So.. are any of you Bundesliga experts?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Just to let you know that because of the Friday league game tomorrow you need to get your teams sorted by 7pm tomorrow night for this weekend.

 

[Akmuq]

Ugh, really worried I've missed out on Zlatan..

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Well..umm.............I've got him!

 

[Akmuq]

I've Aguero captain and Kane.

Spurs without Dembele is a little bit toothless though so I definitely should have started with Zlatan instead of Kane.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

My big problems is the three Leicester players I had before Hull last week! you only get one transfer per week so Morgan is gone, cant remember who I brought in but my defence is lacking...

 

[Akmuq]

I've bit the bullet and gone Zlatan in for Kane. Zlatan is going up in value tonight and I had half a million spare since bringing in Redmond so this was the only opportunity to do it. I'd say Kane will go down if he doesn't score tomorrow.

As for Leicester I had Simpson and Mahrez, so Simpson is relegated to the bench awaiting transfer but I've kept Mahrez in against that Arsenal defense.

 

[88GTA]

Simpson is quite possibly the worst Premier League winning defensive back ever. He cost Leicester the Arsenal game this past spring getting two quick yellows, the one where Welbeck came back. I find myself constantly shaking my head watching his poor positioning or lame duck crosses.

Hernandez or De Laet all day...

 

[Akmuq]

Yeah but I like cheap cover for good defences, and he is the cheapest nailed-on Leicester defender.

 

[ASH32]

So international break, every fantasy player's favourite time. Are you all ready for lots of injuries to your important players?

Even though I've made a good solid start, I've wildcarded anyway, as there's always injuries from international games and Aguero may yet get a three match ban after that elbow yesterday. Now I can make changes on any day where an injury or something may pop up and help limit any potential squad value losses.

Transfer deadline day also falls in this window so I'm covered there too now.

 

[Akmuq]

I had a rubbish game week, dropped from 4th to 9th I think and only got like 20 points.

Probably gonna wildcard too I'm getting a couple of injuries and I've got Aguero, Lamela and Gray, who could all be facing bans.

 

[88GTA]

I have Schmeichel and Butland. Both are hurt...

 

[Akmuq]

Any interest in a Champions League Fantasy league?

 

[Akmuq]

I've wildcarded, although I'm still not too sure about how to get Aguero back into this team...

 

[m8h3r]

This is looking promising. Bailly is going back to Africa for the CON.

 

[ASH32]

The African Cup of Nations isn't until January so that at least is a non-issue for now.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So the deadline for this week is 7pm tomorrow, its earlier because of the Friday Night Football between Chelsea and Liverpool, just sorted my team out, brought Walker and Sterling in for Wollshied and Mkhitaryan, felt a bit dirty bringing in a City player for a United one but it had to be done.

Actually had a good weekend last time out with both my strikers scoring and Antonio getting two, still in 19th though.

 

[88GTA]

Left Defoe on the bench for Andre Gray who is suspended...

 

[Vegard]

Left Defoe on the bench for Andre Gray who is suspended...

If Grey is suspended he will be automatically substituted for the first eligible player on the bench.

 

[88GTA]

Everyone on my bench played already though so it shows him on the field still.

 

[ASH32]

Everyone on my bench played already though so it shows him on the field still.

Subs are not subbed in until after all that weeks games have finished, you've got the 13 points now.

Which keeps you ahead of me by those 13 points.

I also took a minus 8 this week too, looks worth it at the moment at least.

 

[88GTA]

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I'm used to fantasy American football where the players are locked out individually right before they play.

 

[Akmuq]

Guess who went bold and sold Aguero last week? Now have half my team going up in value because of Aguero's ban.

 

[88GTA]

I added Sanchez this week and made him Captain for 46 points. The only problem was that I played someone who also had him as Captain and the rest of my team was crap.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Me and Ash trade places each week at the top, ha. Very close with a few of us actually, makes it more interesting

 

[MUSC4EVER]

They are league games tonight and tomorrow night so you have to get your teams sorted out.
