    Hey captains

    Looking for a team.

    Is the spreadsheet to be picked as a non captain ready yet?

      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      There isn't going to be a spreadsheet (for operational reasons) - how to apply as a non-captain is explained in the article above.

    I am really looking forward to this 🙂

    1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years

      Looking for any team members? Were you in the Bangladesh CWC winning team with me two seasons ago?

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Unfortunately I have a full team. I was a Sri Lankan back then. We were robbed 😉

        I was in that with you.

  5. Sjaugen

    Game on! Some harsh rules;
    4.5) TC and BB use will be blue balled, and the gains will be subtracted.
    4.3) Failure to submit a starting 5 will bench the the best OR guy (ok, maybe not the harshest)
    5.6) Up to a 100 points deduction for being rude to Jarvish

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Rule 5.6. is the equivalent of Prime Directive 4 in Robocop 😉

    A) Sterling, Wally -> Haz, Gündo
    B) Sterling, Wally -> Özil, Gündo
    C) Sterling, Tekkers -> Lukaku, Gündo
    D) Stay Sterling and Wally..

    Have Costa, and do not have Sanchez.
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    how is it possible that Kun can't give an interview in English?

      Does Kun even English?

      • 15 Years

      Wondered that myself. Maybe he is not comfortable with it. I remember Noel Gallagher (formally of Oasis) said on radio that he met Aguero, and that all Aguero said was "no problem", "no problem".

      Afraid my team is full hassebaink.

      For anyone looking for a player though, I can vouch for hassebaink. Good player and responded to emails etc during the last tournament so snap him up.

    Anyone recruiting?

    1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks

      I wonder what my spell check thinks "indefeasibly" means?

    Hi Captains,

    I would like to take part in one of your teams. I have previously played in the World Cup 5-a-side competition and loved it. I'm part of the DZ so if you haven't seen me around, that is why. Have been a FFS member for two seasons now.

    Ideally I would like to be part of a more active team (whatsapp group or facebook chat to strategize).

    I have played FPL for two seasons, once finishing just outside the top 2k and the other, top 15k (only due to TC Carroll to chase ML leader).

    Currently I am ranked 56k with a strong team. I already have hazard so no hits shall be taken going into next gameweek. 😉
    Team is linked if you are interested.

    For any more info, please contact me at pguss2@gmail.com

    Looking forward to hearing from hopefully one of you 🙂

    LAS VEGAS LEMMINGS!
    We might be committing FPL suicide doing this but it’s going to be a fun ride.

    Time to introduce the team everyone will be talking about …..

    Kings of Lyon – Captain and Snodgrass enthusiast. Will probably spend most of the time on the bench due to Ibrahimovic lording it up top.

    Irish Madridsta – One of the funnies posters to grace the FFS forum. His wit and quick-thinking puns are second to none. He’s not bad at FPL too despite recently selling Snodgrass before his 14 point haul.

    Rupert the Horse – Not only a great FPL player but a great guy. And c’mon Chili and a Scotch egg sounds damn good.

    Beavis – Been quiet on the FFS front this year but that’s not to say hes not taking FPL seriously. Beavis and I have been partied in Barbados and Sri Lanka now its time for us to hit Vegas.

    D1sable – This man needs no introduction Scoutcast regular and Sky Sports FF genius. A crackin’ lad and a great addition to the squad.

    Now youre thinking… “Jeez, how good is this team. There must be a dud for the final spot!” Sorry to disappoint y'all but now its time to introduce our diamond

    JK – Despite almost not even playing this year, JK has had the best start of his FPL career and sits with an impressive OR of 1,300. His club team might not be up to much but his FPL pedigree and determination cannot be knocked.

    There you have it. The Las Vegas Lemmings have arrived.

    ‘OH NO!’

    My understanding is that Ronhaar will be in touch to change the name of the Austin Strikers to the ("well, helllloooo"-tastic) Austin Powers.

    1. Now I'm Panicking

      I think you may have got Austin Powers mixed up with Leslie Phillips 😉

    Have been playing properly since I found this site and last two finishes are 689 and 14,681

    I haven't had the best start to my season, but I have just activated my WC. This means that I'll be ready for the first GW in the competition 🙂

    This is my 4th season & my best finish was 3240.

    Looking for a team.
    Curently 26k, stil have BB and tripple captain chips.
    Last season 6k - my ID 8878.

  25. AA33
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hi guys I really want to play this tournament. I would be really happy if any one of the 24 captains selects me. I will say briefly about myself here:

    I started playing FPL in 2011 and I got 26k rank in my very first season. My second season was a bit down with a rank of 215k. I left midway through my third season as my board exams were round the corner. Then I took a three year break as I had other commitments and I was preparing for my medical entrance.
    Now I am back so I am hungrier than ever! I have got a medical seat and hopefully in a few years I will graduate as a doctor!
    Currently my rank is 275k this season but my biggest falls have come before I used my wildcard. After I used my wildcard in GW 6 I have been seeing only green arrows (except once). I look destined to get further great returns.
    I correctly predicted and posted a hot topic saying that Sanchez will start post internationals in GW 8. Utkarsh Dalmia who is ranked 6th in HOF is my friend.
    Pranil/ Late riser it would be a privilege to play with a champion like you.

    Not seeing much take up here, has a lot of deals been done behind closed doors maybe?

      It'd be useful if we had an idea of how many spaces are available

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yea, a bit disheartening really.
        I know from previous experience that a lot of these comps are filled behind closed doors, fair enough if that's the case, just don't want to be wasting my time if that's so.

    Just read the rules, sounds like a brilliant tournament! I would be happy to join too, if any captain is searching for a great team player like me! 😉

    I will add passion and work ethic to the team, that's for sure! A brief presentation of me: A swedish soon-to-be psychologist (I will read the minds of the opposition) who has a beard worthy of a Joe Allen.

    This is only my second year playing FPL. Reached top 10k last year. Current rank of 50k. I guess you could see me as a Nacho-talent of FPL. Rising star you know...

        I was a standby HVT.

        If I was a captain id have tried to put the old crew back together straight up.

        I was too late on the ball man I wasn't sure if I could commit to it and only when I realised that none of the last crew went for captaincy did I throw my name forward, seemingly too late.
