    team captain Atletico Timbo has gone on a scouting mission to france so i'd like to announce on his behalf that the seattle franchise is now called the Seattle Salad-Dodgers

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I thought about Seattle. If I had it would have been Seattle Grungers or Nirvana's maybe

    Team captains. Do not forget to submit an image to represent you as per the email

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Does this have to be in a specific format?

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I don't think so.

        Just make it fairly basic as it may be quite small on the spreadsheets. Think of it as a replacement for the flags for your team

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          If you don't I will be allocating teams images between Friday and Saturday night. So if you could get them in first that would be great as it would reduce the task

    This competition looks funny. If there are some place available yet, if someone needs a player and is interested, I'd really like to participate. I have to say that this week I've already made 2 transfers (-4), Sánchez+Smith > Hazard+Alonso, but I promise not to take too many hits from now on. I took a few so far because my strategy was to build high TV in the beginning, but now with £106.1 it's time to take advantage of that and focus more seriously on points and OR.

    Another latecomer seeking a team... too busy gawking at US election car crash for last few days. Nursing the Monday morning hangover I took a hit for Hazard and Firmino (Sanchez and Sterling ditched).

    Hello Captains around here

    Please consider my team also, though I am little out of form ryt now:

    Any one who would like to include me in your team, please reply or contact on cashabeebca@gmail.com

    Any captains still looking? Will be good to know to whom we have to show our skills.

    FYI, I take risks and usually will be taking a -4 most weeks, because this season there are lot of good options. I got hazard in for his 19 points. Got azpi this week for a -4 for his baps.

    If any Captains are after an ageing, greying team member for an enthusiastic bench fodder member, hit me up.
    Been around for a few years now, not the most active poster but always willing to hand out (terrible) advice to those naive enough to take it.
    Been playing FPL for 6 seasons I think, once I finished in the top 5k. They were the glory days but like an ageing Emile Heskey, I'm more of a Championship/Turkish 2nd League player nowadays.

    In all seriousness though, I'm doing alright this season, top 70k atm but rising slowly. Not taking a hit this week, don't like taking them at all tbh,and own Hazard already. Non-Sanchez owner so looking to buy him once everyone else has sold and he's a more reasonable price.
    Team ID is linked.

    Hi Folks, i'm in the process of finalising the Chicago Bull Sitters squad.

    If you haven't posted your interest on the comments for this post yet and are interested in applying please provide team link and email.

    Hoping to get things tied up soon. I'm in Australia so will log back in tomorrow morning to check those interested and assess best fit to compliment our existing squad.

    Team Announcement
    Philadelphia Sentrymen
    On behalf of all the members of Sentrymen I want to thank the committee for such a wonderful tournament.
    We are honored to be a part of this and appreciate the opportunity.
    We promise to represent extremely good sportsmanship on the field and off the field.

    We have a heavy bunch of talent accumulated in this team.
    So I present you the team of Philadelphia Sentrymen....

    In Defense we have Chicrah , Trojans , Yash , Narcos (C)
    In Offense we have The PEP revolution , Belalugozi78 , Teddy , Vinayashwin

    Chicrah and Yash will play as our Linebacker and make sure that the runs are defended properly
    Narcos is our safety guy playing similar to the sweeper role in soccer
    Trojans will be at the Tackle close to the scrimmage.
    Having such a defensive line really keeps the opponents at bay.

    Teddy is our Quarterback along with our veteran player Vinayashwin who has a 9 years experience at the same role.
    Center is Belalugozi78 who can run clean across the field and dictate the game.
    The Pep revolution will play as the Receiver and will make sure that we can reach the finish line.

    There you go this is the Philadelphia Sentrymen.
    It is going to be fantastic. I'm proud of our team and proud that we are getting this opportunity and I'm anxious to get it started.

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I'm looking at the names of all teams participating and it is quite clear they're Americans, aren't they?
        Have you heard of any American playing football with their foot only?
        So... Americans play soccer!

    1. Mr (C)ALM

        It is good to have someone to talk your decisions over with as captain. I think this is a good move. Plus Ryan is a dude

    Re logos - Cheese has kindly come up with some stand-by logos for each team in case teams don't submit one. If captains who haven't submitted a logo yet are wondering whether to bother submitting their own or not, drop an email to the FCB mailbox and we can send you the logo that will be used if you don't submit one.
