I'm going to play this year, last time I played Fantasy Premier League I was top 20 Everton fans in October and crumbled under the pressure and never looked at my team ever again. Not this time.

These leagues are a goldmine for digging up your real names. Just look at the names of the managers in each league. You're not really going to be #1 in the world, just put a pseudonym.

Who cares?

92 points. Woof.

Many lols at the guy complaining that only bad players picked Benteke because he got all the goals and he didn't bother picking him.

Most people don't pick him because he has a horrendous opening draw for the first three weeks and showed an almost complete inability to score against Top 4 sides last year.

:shrug:

Guess that was a bad call!

*pores over numerous dusty tomes, pours concoctions into beakers*

Hmm yes, I think, through the power of sabermetrics, I have devised the ultimate fantasy football soccer team for gameweek 1 of the fantasy football game. Benteke cannot, nay, will not possibly score.

*Benteke scores all the goals*

Mama mia! My spreadsheets!

No I would say the stupid people are the people who think they can use one season of football matches and draw anything from it, if you care about probability, variance and expected value so much maybe the first thing you should research is the concept of a proper sample size.

You sound pretty insecure. Well done on your week. :tipshat:

lol I don't know I'm not the one who had to come in and assert some false superiority because people did better than me in a fantasy football game.

I put Zabaleta in this week and then changed my mind and put in Aguero instead and chose not to take the points hit.
*walks down the street in a haze shouting KUN WAS A BAD CHOICE*

Decided to drop Sigurdson and Dzeko for Ben Arfa and Giroud.

I dropped Lukaku for Benteke last week. Hopefully that won't come back to bite me now that Lukaku is at Everton.

Lukaku is ineligible today at least so you're okay

Interesting Manchester City team news. I'm told Yaya Toure, Negredo & Nasri all rested. Boyata at right-back.

My.....my fantasy team...no..
