        So what? Not all of us have multiple spare hours every day to trawl through the posts. When I come on I like to sift through and dig out some opinions. Granted, there is always the fair share of crap to sift through but this is beyond that. It's the good stuff mixed in with the crap, being around 25-30% good stuff. We're down to about 10% now.

        The board doesn't have to fly page after page like it usually does. Poor reasoning.

          Banter about the tournament (which you may see as crap, fair enough) has replaced RMT spamming and some of the dumb questions that would be getting asked if this wasn't an international break.

      Despite being a co-organizer of the tournament, I totally get your point. I would be bummed myself, if I wasn't a part of the tournament, or had no clue of what was happening.

      A few things you should note though -:

      a) We did this precisely during the international break, so as to no upset the masses, this being the least active times in FPL
      b) Normal FPL discussion is still on in full flow....We're not putting a lid to that, and our idea is not to take over all discussions.
      c) Have you ever taken a part in such tournament? They really light up things from the sometimes dull world of FPL and inject life into the competition

      Despite all what I have said, I will still ask people to tone it down. Have a great day 🙂

          I had a terrible start last year but was able to turn it around and finished roughly top 5k. Long, long way to go. Consistency is the key, particularly late in the season. If you have one good month you can be right up there, especially if you can nail it with your captains on any kind of consistent basis.

        my thoughts as well, already missed his 0.1 price rise. would rather not risk it if it is only 0.2 on the line

    So, barfa going down tonight. Do early transfer to avoid the probably multiple price drops or grit my teeth and ignore him until the internationals are played?

    Feels a wee bit risky to transferr him out this early

      slightly depends on the rest of your team and if you are sure of the option you want to get in and if his price is going the other way. In the case of lets say HBA to Januzaj I would be inclined to move on him

      He was hauled off 2nd half against Everton and Newcastle improved no end, He got the last 4 minutes against Cardiff, Newcastle fixtures aren't great, You will only lose money on him, he's dropped 30% today.

        dabbled with the idea of Lamps -> Wally FT and if not fit. But that involves leaving Barfa in/taking a hit.

        Also considered doing Barfa -> someone and Lamps -> Wally (-4) if fit but probably not a good move
