Fantasy Premier League 2017/2018

67 points per week is an awful lot...


Plan is to get a few big scoring game weeks of +80 points to cover for the bad weeks. This is only my second go at it and managed just under 2k points last season after only getting in on GW3 i think. I also took a break mid season after being knocked out of the cup in the third round.

I think the last time a South African won the FPL was the 2002/2003 season.
 
Not the best start but knew I would need to use my wildcard after GW1. Would have probably had less than 35 points if I kept the same team from GW1.

GW1 = 63 points
GW2 = 64 points

The winner from 2016/2017 ended with 2564 points with an average of GW score of 67.47 points (2015/2016 = 2470 ave = 65, 2014/2015 = 2458 ave = 64.68) so definitely far from over.

Now to just time when to use Triple Captain and Bench Boost Chips.

that's a fascinating stat .. 67.47 ... just have rooney to play tonight but sitting on 66 .. hopefully can get to the average because every week isn't going to be this good .
 
Still have Pickford, Baines, Rooney and Silva for tonight. Hopefully I get a few more points...

Salah also cost me points as I had David Silva on the bench and as the game carried on I was hoping that Klop would not bring him on and I would get an automatic substitution.

Only have one Liverpool player in my squad for next GW and depending on how he does against Hoffenheim, I might just bench Salah for their next game against Arsenal and also not certain if Klop will start with Salah. Currently a toss up between starting with Vardy, Xhaka or Salah for GW3. Other big decision is who to make captain between Mkhitaryan, Pogba or Lukaka.

I love your confidence - but maybe being a bit premature :)
 
Blerry Rooney. Spent the last year at United kicking balls off his shin; and now suddenly he can strike a ball properly.
Got a damned yellow! Also, lost my clean sheet with Pickford and Baines. How hard is it to defend against 10 men? Oh well, Salah out and Pogba in for next week. Now watch Salah score a hat-trick...

Edit: Silva also hit the post twice I think

Hey, leave Pogba out :p
 
Does that not end when the actual window closes?


No.

You also have a Free Hit chip you can use for unlimited transfers for the current GW but your team will revert back to the current selection for the next GW.
 
You only get 1 free transfer every game week and can only accumulate 2.

The Wildcard allows for unlimited transfers only for the GW in which you use it.

Wait..Isn't the Free Hit chip for unlimited transfers in one GW, whereas the Wildcard allows you to re-do your entire team?
 
First time player and must say the view from the top is spectacular ... :-)

Beginners luck is a beautiful thing .. now lets watch the dramatic collapse ..82 last week, 74 this week .. trajectory looks down ..
 
Well, I had Jesus and da Silva playing for me last night. A massive 3 points is what they got me...
