Fantasy Premier League 2015/16.

[maldini32]

Think I'm the only person in the world to not have Sergio in my side. Might have to stick him in to fend of the challengers.

Everyone smashing in 70 point averages, reeet laugh

[Ironside]

I am in a Southampton fans Facebook groups league I think the highest place team before today with aguero in the team was about 15th and he wasn't captain that was 17th before someone captained him

[SuperJez]

32.5% Ownership for Aguero and of course not all of them will have put the band on but in the money leagues, 98% did.  Was probably the clearest captain choice yet.

I have him and captained him but had a bad week so far overall.  It's coming down to the others this week.  Regretting not getting De Bruyne.  

Still it was funny last week when everyone bandwagon captained Martial and he didn't score

I don't think anyone did in our leagues although a couple of lads in work had him.

[nuros]

Dunno how many people triple captained aguero one guy did in one of my leagues. I did however read that 13 people triple captained wijnaldum for his 4 goal haul, including (at least) 1 guy who triple captained Sturridge only for him to not play and therefore give him triple vice captain wijnaldum! Nice to see the cups starting, ty for the work dazzler and gl all!

[POWWWWWWWW]

Thanks for organising the cups, they look great.
