Is anyone from our FPL fantasy football league still around these parts?
It looks to me like only about half of the league are still active, though I am amazed that some teams that don't appear actively managed are doing so well. The manager of 'Ibracadabra' is 2nd in our league having made only 5 transfers all season.
Marmion has fallen down the rankings but is still 10th despite having Cuadrado who has been playing for Juventus all season, Ivanovic who now plays in Russia, Ighalo who now plays in China, and Erik Lamela who has'nt been playing for anyone as he's been injured for ages
My 'Surrender Monkeys' team is currently top and I'm having my best FPL season to date and love the game, its my 3rd season and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. As we get to the exciting finale to the season I wondered if any of those still playing wanted any discussions about the run in, the upcoming blank game weeks, the use of our bench boost, all out attack and triple captain chips, team value etc? Have you used any/all your chips yet, who still has the 2nd wildcard left? I'm using my 'all out attack' chip next game week, saving my triple captain and bench boost chips for the double game weeks and will probably use my 2nd wildcard the week before playing a bench boost so I can get up to 15 players with 2 games in a week. What are others planning?
From a cursory look it appears as though the managers of Weld Rd Wizards, Marko Van Bestun, Stevilla, Egg & Creswell (makes me chuckle every time I see this one), Yorkie's Team, You Messi'n with Me and Bulgin Bellies are still active teams.
To those not playing FPL the last 2 paragraphs must seem complete gibberish, I'm happy to start a separate FPL thread where we can discuss such matters without interfering with the discussions from the true fans of Fulchester United and the like. Just wondering if anyone's interested? If not, apologies, as you were, I'll just keep talking to myself and there's no need for any further typing or thread derailment
