Looks like the site has crashed completely now!

The same thing happened a couple of years ago

I guess it's the risk you take leaving things to last minute, unfortunately. Still no excuse for having shitty servers though.

Yes and no

It was 11:30 mate

Kenny's Jacket · « **Reply #327 on:** August 13, 2016, 01:20:54 pm »

Not a great start. Got Simpson with a booking and no clean sheet and Vardy who is missing sitters.

Jakupovic on the bench. Obviously.

Went with Alli over Mahrez, great.

Went with Marhez, thought Vardy would take the pen though

Good decision I say

KissThisGuy · « **Reply #333 on:** August 13, 2016, 01:41:10 pm »

If you left it logged in you should have no problems. I have no sympathy for anyone who didn't get a team in, it's not as if the season snuck up on people unannounced. I'd say most people were just making minor tweaks to their teams.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #334 on:** August 13, 2016, 01:44:06 pm »

Definitely binning Schmeichel and Morgan here.

Sir Psycho Sexy · « **Reply #335 on:** August 13, 2016, 02:13:46 pm »

Sarge · « **Reply #336 on:** August 13, 2016, 02:56:42 pm »

Simpson 0 Points.
Fischer on the Bench

What a start.

Spanish Al · « **Reply #337 on:** August 13, 2016, 02:58:41 pm »

I have Robertson in my squad and subbed him in for Daniels but due to my phone being a twat it never loaded the web page after I clicked save team. Only Two points but I feel this will set the tone for the season and will be a typical thing to happen.

Sarge · « **Reply #338 on:** August 13, 2016, 02:58:48 pm »

So Hennessy, Pieters, Townsend, Fischer (Sub), Kane now and Stones and De Bryune later.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #339 on:** August 13, 2016, 03:03:21 pm »

Only got five of the lads in action today, marathon not a sprint.

l only have Fraser Forster playing right now. Who's already conceded. Start as you mean to go on and all that.

KissThisGuy · « **Reply #345 on:** August 13, 2016, 04:02:48 pm »

I find it hard to leave out Aguero. He's the first name on my teamsheet. You need a reliable Captain in Fantasy Football.

Sarge · « **Reply #346 on:** August 13, 2016, 04:46:16 pm »

Disaster of a start so far on Day 1.

Lamela will prove to be a bargain at 7. Picked up Demarai gray at 5 aswell. 10pts between the two. Dawson on the bench though

Yep, 5 goals and 9 assists last season and is improving every year.

Sarge · « **Reply #350 on:** August 13, 2016, 05:13:47 pm »

De Bryune and Stones now to save my day.

KissThisGuy · « **Reply #351 on:** August 13, 2016, 05:15:28 pm »

I seriously need Aguero to come to my team's rescue. I have 11 points between Amat and McAuley sitting on my bench.

Surprise me. · « **Reply #352 on:** August 13, 2016, 05:21:55 pm »

Forgot to remove Ozil so hopefully that means Dawson comes in to replace him. Forgot how this whole thing works. Didn't play it last season.

Overall pretty shit start though, only 18 points. Hart dropped as well and I've got the Bournemouth keeper as backup.

Zoomers · « **Reply #353 on:** August 13, 2016, 06:34:56 pm »

Morgan, Long and Wickham have let me down. Four more players to play

Sarge · « **Reply #354 on:** August 13, 2016, 07:01:27 pm »

Mr. Defoe how are ya!

Lamela

Called it. (Context a few posts up)

But Redmond looks like the real bargain. I might have to use my transfer on Lloris, so maybe will get Redmond in after the Utd game

Bobinhood · « **Reply #356 on:** August 13, 2016, 09:00:40 pm »

damn it i knew i should have started Diomande

ended up with

Forster (jakupovic)

Bellerin Stones Azpil Moreno (smith)

De Bruyne Mane Couhtino Ayew (kante)

Auguero (C) Carroll (diomande)

was going to put in fletcher instead of kante on the bench for maximized minimum spend but the extra nickel seemed worth it, thinking Conte will be a defensive manager. 24 points today pretty much all Kun.

Game on !

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #357 on:** August 13, 2016, 09:04:57 pm »

42 points for me, but only have Coutinho, De Gea and Ibe left to play.

A lack of clean sheets and goals will make it a low scoring day all round id imagine?

Yeah I'd imagine pretty low scoring. My one defender who got a clean sheet was sitting on the bench so typical of this game I guess. Seems like I did better than a lot of others 33 with 6 left to play so can't complain.

27 points so far from Aguero, Gray, Cabaye, Tadic, Alderweireld and Sagna, not a bad start.
