Marvellous!

Junior-senior has now brought in a top-level FF consultant to secure my £20 in our side-bet in which he is already comfortably leading. One player per hand please.

Sorry Ralph
Elmohamady -> Downing.
Now you're even

It was already in the pipeline o guru.

[Junior Senior]

Relax Ralphy. I already have multiple consultants helping me including my own price change algorithm site. You seen Fantasy Football Fix? Thats me!

Ulloa has been holding his best form for two weeks time and then he will explode. He text me last night to say he wants to be a differential so waiting until everyone has offloaded him before he strikes. Its worth the price sacrifice to see it happen. Leo and I go way back.

i somehow have 8m in the bank, is this always going to be terrible?

[Junior Senior]

i somehow have 8m in the bank, is this always going to be terrible?

Mostly yes. Only reason to be good is if you have a plan over next 1-2 weeks to afford a premium player and are shifting your formation fundamentally

[pleno1]

i just prefer sahko, beharino and pelle than costa/rooney etc atm :./

[nuros]

Surely must be somewhere to upgrade pads! All 3 strikers good but I'd prefer at least 1 "big hitter" up there (Aguero!) even if just for a safe/reliable captaincy choice.

[Ironside]

i could easy spend 10 million upgrading my midfield if i had it

[TheDazzler]

i somehow have 8m in the bank, is this always going to be terrible?

I'm a little drunk but.......................
Absolutely 100%, without any question whatsover, that is unquestionally terrible.
Here's the key thing. Get your money on the pitch.
The historically best formation is 3-4-3.
3 strikers who you play every week. 4 midfielders you play every week, (with 1 x 5th mid base price £4.5m who plays every week).
And in defence it's a little more complicated. 1 big (eg Baines), 4 rotating based on fixtures base price. 2 big, 3 rotating. 3 big, 2 rotating. Whatever, the defence is the only position where the traditional template is somewhat flexible but you will always have at least 2 base price (£4m) defenders.   
But put your money on the pitch. £8m in the bank means at least 2 transfers before you're spending all that money.
But having called that 4bet oop with J4 off suit, maybe you'll flop 2 pair

[RobM]

Just wanted to say what a sick level of competition there is in this group! I crept into the top 1% overall today yet don't even make the top 10 of the £10 league :0

Special shout to Marc Carnie too - setting the pace hitting the illustrious top 100 in the world this week - as you do!

[Junior Senior]

Yeah tough standard this year for sure. I have a plan though

[Ironside]

its my first time playing this i have made a lot of mistakes

think i will stick with the free game for a few more seasons

as standard is quite good

Just wanted to say what a sick level of competition there is in this group! I crept into the top 1% overall today yet don't even make the top 10 of the £10 league :0

Special shout to Marc Carnie too - setting the pace hitting the illustrious top 100 in the world this week - as you do!

Nice work Marc
