      Question. If I give line-ups early will I still get abuse? I've posted 2 early and got hate on both even though they were spot on. They are not 'guesses' they facts.

      I post in all caps because I get excited over football, is that wrong? If it is I'm sorry.

      I have no intention of trolling. Just want to help.

        The answer is don't post in caps, Humzah. It's not rocket science. 🙂

          I wouldn't bother mate unless you can give a source. Whether you are genuine or not, there are so many fake line ups on here anything without a source can't be trusted and Demi will post it an hour before the match anyway.

            I think FFS need to introduce a member's area forum.

            Otherwise there's very little chance for regulars rapport.

              It was more to do with Stoke's next 2 fixtures.

              Ramsey not in my plans now. Bigger fish to fry. 😉 However he may become a priority after tomorrow's game. 😀

                Which I guarantee you they'll look worse in as they'll go back to daftly attacking as per. Bego flapped at the two saves he had to make today. You lot were so, so very poor. I find it funny that you're gloating. And if not for a jammy, deflected long range effort Forster would've made it three clean sheets from three for me today. Quite happy with the move despite it costing me points today.

          • 14 Years

          Some advice needed - and no not FPL-related!

          If you see any of my other posts on here you might be aware that I gamble a fair bit, however I've recently hit a wall with football and am looking to branch into horse racing, a potentially more lucrative sport for those who know what they're doing.

          I recently heard of this horse tipping agency called Value Horse Tips. They have an incredible track record of 34/34 profitable months in a row and have logs of all their bets/tips to prove it. Their point of sale is that they notice the night before races which horses seem over-priced and email them to paid members, because when they release the tips on Twitter hours later the bookies scale down their odds for the tipped horses considerably.

          I haven't become a paid member yet but have instead been following along with the reduced-odds tips on Twitter for 4 days now, betting with small and cautious stakes until I'm comfortable with the service.

          BUT, since I am ridiculously unlucky, in this period the VHT team have hit a losing streak, with only 1/14 of the last bets returning anything (and small place money at that). I am now really concerned. My £5 conservative bets have racked up to a total £80 loss - in only 4 days. 😡

          My question is, should I carry on following VHT given their track record and potential to me a decent return? (Could either just be a bad patch or continue losing me more cash)

          Or should I cut my losses and stop following this team, and resign myself to not getting my money back?

          Sorry for this long and selfish post, I'm just stuck for a decision and this seemed the most appropriate of all the non-appropriate options I've got 🙂

            VHT gives the tips for free later on anyway. Always make your own pics on horses. Tipsters are a terrible source of advice.

            First rule of gambling, don't throw good money after bad.

            I've had this problem while following some FB football betting tips pages, the moment you get on board they start losing. I'd give up on it tbh

            I gave up gambling 5 years ago, around the same time I started playing FPL.
            FPL gives me the same rush (sometimes) but is completely free. I think subconsciously I knew I had a problem with the gambling, so I just quit..cold turkey.
            I was always boasting about the wins I had, but never mentioned the 3,4 or 5 losses I had before the win.
            Nags, golf and footy was my thing.
            So glad to be away from it now. Not judging you at all and don't mean to sound preachy.
            But quit gambling is the best advice I would give you.

            Mate been Gambling on horses for years its one of the hardests ways to make money even with the best inside knowledge. The vast majority of horse racing tipsters are useless and just tip up favourites for the sake of it, anyone with the slightest knowledge of racing could do wat they are doing. The best tipsters if u want to follow racing are hugh taylor on the attheraces website (Puts up tips around 10 each morning) and Tom segal (Pricewise in the racing post). However if u want to have a chance of making money from it, its like anything u need to work hard, study form, watch races and make ur own judgement, if u expect to make easy money by following other people's tips u will lose a lot more than u will win.
            The key rule to gambling is to never chase ur loses go away and try make it back wen a good opportunity arises again, clouded judgement leads to bad decisions. If I were u I wouldn't get bogged down on having to get ur money back, if u see good opportunities over the next few weeks or months use them as a basis's to getting ur money back.
            My key element to having bet is value. U need to be getting value for ur money. If u fancy something but think the price is too short, then its usually not worth the riskI hope ur luck changes mate but best advise is not to panic and don't chase ur money foolishly.

          My new weekly ponder!

          1) Ivanovic is getting hard to ignore. They said he wasn't nailed on when Luis arrived. They were wrong. In my eyes, he is now THE most nailed on Chelsea defender, having produced attacking returns in each of the first 3 matches. Incredible. He seems to have found a consistency and familiarity in attack this season under Jose and I'm sure more attacking points will be on the cards. Sensational. Costa's arrival seems to have helped his crosses be given the points they deserve, after last season I had Ivan for so long and when I watched his matches his attacking play was always questionable and slightly uncontrolled. Meanwhile, we're all wondering why we went with Gary Cahill. Cahill for Ivan anyone? Do spare a thought for little old Filipe on the bench though...

          2) Clyne is getting hard to ignore. His attacks have resulted in a goal and assist already and has some prosperous fixtures on the horizon to say the VERY LEAST. Schniederlin is one to monitor meanwhile for sure. We do all love a defender with great fixtures, with clean sheet potential and a goal or assist in them too. Blissssssssss.

          3) I captained SIGGY and it worked. Wow. What a change. From less than guaranteed starts with Spurs to the main man at a familiar Swansea- you always knew this was home and for us this is the perfect combination. Hard to overlook at the moment but I'm just happy that my double hit to get him in paid off with that armband I put around him. In effect he wears that armband for Swansea in attack week in week out. Dyer meanwhile has just been found in many a watchlist...this season is turning into the battle of the D I/Y ERS.

          4) Naismith will keep plugging away. I went for Jovetic this week as part of my double hit, but went for Jovetic instead. Never mind. The feisty Scotsman is in a hot run of form right now and Arguably, it is Lukaku's place in the team that looks in doubt after Eto'o's arrival (never had to use two apostrophes like that before!). Naismith is guaranteed to start now.

          5) go Diego go! Chelsea have found their man. Enough said. With Hazard, Willian, Fabregas, Oscar, Matic and Ramires behind him, it is not amazing that he has scored 4 in 3 games. I'm not going to mention those who transferred him out, but it must hurt!

          6) Stoke. How? No honestly how? They can't keep a clean sheet against a 10 man Hull or Villa, but when City turn up with arguably their BEST 11 (in my eyes, maybe not now!) they do a blinder. Shawcross was immense! Wilson, who the Stoke fans have ridiculed this season, put in a blinder! That's how you play City, Liverpool! Meanwhile, Bojan was never gonna get a chance today!

          7) What else now? Ooh yes, United. Daley Blind and Rojo couldn't come soon enough, but let's face it, top four is gonna take at least another season. Anyone who watched today would be amazed at how United kept a clean sheet. Shaky on the ball, De Gea screaming all the time, not moving one inch when the ball hit his crossbar, Evans losing possession, Blackett passing to the wrong side. We'll done Phil though, repaying your owners. As for their attack, clueless. Di Maria must be thinking: "what the hell am I doing here". Now Mata is injured, Rooney owners will be twiddling their thumbs, especially if Sturridge or Balotelli out in a performance tomorrow.

          Anyway, hope you had fun reading that. Don't forget, these are my views, I know some of you will disagree but what can you do?

          Greetings deadzoners.

          You're the first to know this.

          Upon popular request, FFS UEFA's latest team competition will be be making a return. It is very similar to past competitions but with an all new theme. Stay tuned as all the fun and frolic of recruitment will be taking place over the international break.

          Will likely be officially launched on 1st Sep. Keep 'em peeled, geezers 😉

          I'm no mathematician, but by using the above formula and delving into my absurdly brilliant grasp of exponential smoothing ; I reckon that 11% of the posters on here are knobjockeys.

          This rises to 39% during matches.

          On this basis, by the season 2018/2019, there will be no point logging on here at all anymore. Sorry Mark 🙁

                Everyone, but some people love rubbing people's faces in it, and then get annoyed when people return the favour. Humzah has been acting like a massive attention seeker all day and has been calling victim when people get annoyed, should be banned to be honest.

              Remember when everyone panicked and shipped Costa for hits? Then he played and bagged a brace?

                Mata's blank was irrelevant, it's his form that's the problem. Form is not the same as scoring.

                Don't think their was a big panic over Costa. Most have been through the injury rumor mill before and would have held till something definite came out.

                To be fair Coleman was shouldering and elbowing him in the back for ages trying to get a response. Not condoning what Costa did but he's allowed to wind Coleman up as well.

                    I think there was a stretch of 5 minutes when Coleman was winding him up, one in particular when he turfed his shoulder into his back as he was just standing there. Provoking him in my view, quite common for players to do it but I think Costa was pretty alright to have a pop at him after really.

                Coleman was winding him up all game. Justified IMO.

                Mou's comment was clearly unwarranted, but who cares really? We know he's a knob yet a great manager. We know Costa has some temper issues but is a top draw finisher who's entertaining.

                    Very attacking in a Gus Poyet defense.

                    Try comparing him with any other defender..for example Coleman

              Thinking out loud, but these thoughts may help others in the same situation...

              -I'm happy keeping 12 of my players for the gameweeks coming after the international break, assuming they stay fit and no last minute signings affect their spot in their teams.
              -I'd like to keep a further two (Rooney and Mata) for their upcoming fixtures but worry they may each drop 0.2 or 0.3 over the lengthy break.
              -I need to replace 1 cheap defender (Chambers) with another £4.5m def before he drops in price or the ideal replacement rises, unless Mert/Kos pick up an injury on international duty.
              -I have 1 FT and no money banked.

              If I had a bunch of players I was unhappy with I'd wildcard now, drop anyone who's about to fall in price and add them in again before the next deadline at the reduced value, but as I want to keep most of my squad a wilcard would be rather silly to save 0.4m or so on a couple of players.

              I could keep Rooney, take a hit to drop Mata before he falls and use the FT on Chambers but I'd likely need to make the changes early and there's no guarantee replacements wouldn't get injured. I also feel after 2 weeks working together, with injuries eased, Man Utd should be stronger next gameweek and I can see both being amongst the points.

              I'm leaning towards just keeping Rooney and Mata in and taking the price hits, even if they both drop £0.2m. I can then hold on to my FT as long as possible, keep an eye on Chambers' price and switch him out before that changes. Overall TV would likely drop a bit but I really think Rooney and Mata will bring points in over the coming weeks and a hit would be silly.

              Sensible or missing an opportunity?

                  it seems very sensible not to make sweeping changes unless you have to. I'm planning on keeping my WC for a dire emergency or hopefully a huge double GW. I'm trying my hardest to stick to my planned transfers and stacking two FTs for as much time as possible, Rooney Mata should pay off in the next few weeks but their points haul hasn't been amazing considering their easy start. I generally don't consider TV because a lot of picks are just flash in the pan.

                  TRIPLE CHELSEA ATTACK TOO MUCH?

                  I currently have the Fabregas, Hazard and Costa triple combo. I have always felt that I would look to lose one of these but I am struggling to justify if

                  Costa - 4 goals in 3 games
                  Fabregas - 4 assists in 3 games
                  Hazard - 1 goal and and assist and he's the one who seems like the season keeper.

                  I would like Sterling for Liverpool's upcoming run but that would mean losing one of the two mids above, or Ramsey (2 goals in 2)

                  Alternatively I could get Sturridge for Costa (see above) or Rooney (great fixtures)

                  What to do?

                    I'd hold mj - Swansea (h) next, what's the panic?

                      Yeah the next fixture looks decent on paper although Swansea are solid this season so far

                    Costa gotta be in there.

                    So if you have to lose one of them, lose Hazard....Fab maybe less exciting & explosive than Hazza but he will give you consistent points week in-week out

                      As soon as I get rid of Hazard I feel they'll start getting pens!

                        Costa might take it...who knows 😉

                        but seriously, you can't carry a player just because his team may get Penos when we don't know for sure he is gonna take them

                    I would downgrade Haz to Sterling and use the money elsewhere. Keep Costa and Fab.

                      That what I am considering to be honest. But it goes against my belief that Hazard and Ramsey are season keepers.

                    Costa's looking the best long-term forward pick, though we're only just over 2 and a half GWs in. So really I think it's a question of whether you want to double up on Fab and Hazard. Until we know how Sterling fits in around Balotelli, I wouldn't worry about it.

                    The problem is that when people panic and jerk they get tunnel vision, and don't take all advice on board, and just listen to what they want to hear when asking a question.

                          Word of advice. Leave Mata and don't jerk.

                          He didn't get a call up from Spain and he can recover (hopefully)

                            Mata's biggest problem isn't his hamstring. It's the complete lack of any evidence he's fitting into the LvG system.

                                    And he looked just as bad in week 2 but for the goal.

                                  No different to Rooney imo though, appreciate he is captain and less likely to get dropped but there's enough to get rid of either in the short term

                                sounds like Groundhog Day in here.

                                United have an ailing and unthreatening attack, team lacks confidence completely, Mata's goal last week was quite lucky but other than that he has nothing to show for himself... Can't find a reason to keep other than the great fixtures, but that's what we said leading up to SWA sun bur....

                                  This.

                                  If their name wasn't Manchester United we wouldn't invest in these players even if they were cheap. They are out form as a team and expensive. I'm ditching and once they sort themselves out I'll pick up the in form ones. Money is better spent on in form teams like Chelsea who are soaring.

                              I am ultra sure that not everyone's going to agree with this but... I think the baps system is a vast improvement on the previous 3 that we've had. I do, honestly!

                                Agreed. But I wish they would get rid of BAPs completely. Take current point scoring system and multiply by a factor. Then add points for players based on the same criteria as BAPs. Much fairer.

                              Account deleted. Too obsessive to play this game, going to see what it's like to watch football while free. I paid for members as well like a few weeks ago to see what was beyond.

                                  Ha ha. No this is goodbye! (can the members access be given to someone else?)

                                  Really, the game is too poisonous for someone like me, it can only be fun if played from afar, not so attentively, like when i started in january my first time and didn't know what I was doing. I think the best way to play is patience and a few punts. People knee jerk because they over think, people overlook the long term every time, even when they so they won't. Everyone wants every player, but no one can have everyone, it results in a long list of mistakes.

                                  As a man united fan I didn't want them them to score because I own Duff. That set me considering, then costa gets two goals in the the most miraculously goal frenzy game (i sold him for aguero), costa saved me. It's not being childish at things not going your way, it seems to be human nature to want to increase a number that doesn't mean anything but the competitiveness in you creates a kind of obsessive thinking that just isn't healthy for me. I could be reading a book and not endlessly coming up with the new perfect team in work break, for instance.

                                Wait a few days and cool down before you do that, most on here had nightmare seasons but still hung in there and did OK in the end, its a long season, its not all about one GW

                                  I'm not doing that bad, I'm just spending too much time either on here, watching games I wouldn't, hoping my team Man United don't score because I own Duff, or coming up with the Perfect Team in work break instead of reading a book. I wonder what I get out of it other than an arbitrary number and some green arrows. I'm in it if I can solve it like a puzzle, compete against the world is fun. But everyone else is doing the same.

                                21 points with a -8 ain't that bad...

                                  Nah, it's not a bad score, but it warps how I watch football, ultimately i have to think what I'm getting out of spending time thinking and commenting on something so unpredictable. I kind of only want to play if I can solve it like a puzzle. But..there's too many players to really do that, and ...I'm autistic basically.
