I've registered. 'The Cockwombles' that's me.

Promise I won't be too much bother on the fpl thread this time. I've done two seasons now so know the ins and outs. :D

Must have switched my team a dozen times over the past few days. Keep Haaland or not? A cheaper Jesus with a defensive upgrade of Alexander Arnold instead seems a good bet. But can I really have an Arsenal striker in my front 2? Do the players currently chosen start at the weekend or are they still working up to full match fitness?

Aaargh. :laugh:

This season there is only one Free Hit -chip, last season there were two. There are still two Wild Card -chips and the first one must be used before the WC and the other after it. Good luck to everyone.

So many have gone for Jesus. A favourable run of games for the Arse to begin with. Should he be on fire, 30% of fpl players may be playing catch up.

Edit: But should he shoot blanks, 70% of fpl players will have got it wrong. :wink:

Happy Premier League day, lads. It's back! :D

Hour and 10 to get any last changes to your team in. I got frustrated (that's a shocker :wink:) constantly transferring players out then back in again so decided to go for three different squads with the slight adjustments I couldn't decide on. Seems like a good plan.

Hope I've picked and tweek the right one to challenge for honours in the hhforum league. Or is a wooden spoon on the horizon. :mrgreen:

:cheers:

Kane, Son, Haaland or Salah? Who's your bet to grab the most points?

That Haaland is going to bang in a fair amount of goals this season! Switched him out for Salah myself as a dead cert for points but now thinking Haaland may produce more with City watching today's game. Knew he's world class but always that possibility of taking time to adapt. A few of you knew he'd hit the ground running (away at West Ham!), captaining him your team. :bow:

I'm always gonna keep Kane and, to answer my question above, think he'll produce the most points out of the three. Blind optimism? Maybe. :laugh:

Son, Salah or Haaland is a feckin' difficult one!

:cheers:

I fear my love of Kane is going to bury me this weekend in the hhforum league. Haaland against Bournemouth!?
:laugh:

I actually went to switch Kane out just for the week we play Chelsea but... due to so many others making the switch, the prices had changed putting me over budget. :banghead:

Anywho, happy Premier League day folks! :dance:

lost, that's no problem. I actually enjoy it. I used to do some reporting in the early years of this competition but grew tired of it. It's great if you have enough time and energy to give comments. :cheers:

All week I toyed with the idea of shipping out Salah for De Bruyne. With Liverpool's piss poor midfield atm, I don't see Salah getting much service. It would also free up enough money to upgrade one of my non-playing bench players to a playing one. So what did I do?

Captained Salah. :?

Think what pushed me into this was my Saint-Maximin swap out the week before. Totally wrong move.

May regret the Salah one, think I should have been brave and got rid for De Bruyne. Also gone for a back 5. Could all end in tears, this. :laugh:
