All the top scorers come from Bolton (what a miserly week, eh?) and then Aguero scores 2 and gets an assist in 30 minutes.

This one wouldn't even sneak under Helen Keller's radar now. Alas.

Right I've started taking hits..

It clearly says ....No points will be deducted for any transfers you make up to the Gameweek 2 deadline (11:30 BST on Saturday 20th August 2011).

...there's no way that's open to interpretation. This isn;t goodbye to my players its greatbye. (borrowed from Peter Sarfanowich)

Just noticed that DeJong went off after 59 mins. 🙂

was happy at 1-0.

aguero wont be protected either. scenes

bit of perspective needed. aguero came on home to swansea in a game that was already won. man city had spent the 60mins tiring out and then once dzeko's goal went in demoralising the swansea side. yes it was a great last goal but easy tiger

not sure why teams keep buying wayne routledge. classic good championship player woeful prem player

5 strikers and 3 midfielders would be nice

reading some 'dzeko owners getting rewarded for lack of foresight' comments in the dugout. behave! he was bought for today's match with 2.5 in the bank to play with. is that a lack of foresight?

Hayley McQueen is looking sexy with those glasses on tonight.

Bloody Aguero. You had to go and bloody score didn't you.

Just made a team that consists of

Torres, Aguero and Rooney. Not sure whether this wildcard helps or just makes choices more annoying 🙂

Too kneejerk? 😉

I bloody love a good knee jerk.

Gone from spending £22m on 3 defenders about 1.5 hours ago, to spending £34m up front!

I don't care what you say I'm jumping on the motherfooking bandwagon

SUE ME!

Hands up if you had Aguero captain before he was benched against Utd? 😉

*up*

Joey Barton

If they sign Nasri and Sneijder. This could be like cheating on Football Manager...............ha

So true

Uno

Come on Silva & Kompany! 10 points each will do.

Gary Neville is alright on MNF actually

Will be interesting to see how Mancini uses a fully fit squad. Fitting Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko, Balotelli, Johnson, De Jong, Barry, etc in one side is a nice problem to have.

Anybody know what the RMT website is that somebody posted on here a couple of weeks ago ?

It had a utube tutorial video of how to use it linked but I never got a chance to try it out - looked quite good ?!

Anyone see the Swansea fan Sky showed there...she was hot as fook

Forever Alone 🙁

ratemyteam.co.uk?

can't be the one you are referring to. that would be too simple.

1 downing or adam?
2 nani or young?

The joys of free transfers

I think everyone should keep complaining to FPL until they give us an extra 5m each in virtual compensation. Still can't piece together a side I really love.

Score predictions for the Swansea game:

So,

The people who had spent time on sites like these over the summer contributing to the community and actually planned their team more than 18 hours ahead of the first deadline are recieving almost no benefit from this. Those who are too lazy and just couldn't be bothered now get a free chance to remove all their failures with no penalty. If you picked Gervinho, Kuyt or Drogba and had Hall as your cheap defender before the deadline and weren't affected by the log in problems why should you get away with transferring them out for free? Why shouldn't you have to consider keeping them when they may not play, taking transfer hits or using your wildcard?

What benefit do I get from spending two hours last week picking Caulker out as a starting 4M Swansea defender? Absolutely none, that's what. I'd benched him anyway this week and had to gamble on him being a starter for when I needed him later in the season, now everyone who doesn't do any work knows he's a starter and can get him in for free.

What benefit did I get from planning my team past gameweek 1? Absolutely none, someone could have simply looked at the GW1 fixtures, picked played based just on that and can now get rid of the lot of them for a more balanced week in week out team with no penalty.

What if someone planned their team carefully on Thursday for the FPL season then went on holiday? They won't be able to use the free transfers to benefit from price rises this week will they.

I am having to use the transfers to catch potential price rises (if they haven't frozen prices - which given their incompetence so far I'll happily say they haven't) as otherwise I am at a disadvantage compared to those that do transfer. If it wasn't for this wildcard I would seriously consider not making any transfers and would have had two free transfers for next week, but now I can't do that.

This idea from the FPL team is really quite, quite poor and for FFS to blindly state they will begin leagues from GW2 and not allow those who helped contribute to the community over the summer the advantage they deserve by keeping GW1 scores is short sighted in the extreme.

Anyway, I'm sure all of you out there will tell me I'm completely wrong... please link your team also if you do.

I’m pleased they’ve acknowledged us and gone a fair way to making amends, but…

Slightly annoyed that some people in my mini league, with DREADFUL teams, no balance etc have been able to see my team and now effectively copy all my good picks at no expense.

Sorry if this has been addressed already:
Is there a way of accessing all the stats from weekend matches on the FPL site?
Could previously clink on the fixture link and it would take you to the match details, Inc bonus allocations (want to check all bonus pts so far)
Ta for any help.
