    Knee Jerk: going heavy on forwards this year. Cheap out everywhere else to always have three of RVP, Aguero, Torres, and Suarez.

    I'm really p*ssed off now.

    I had aguero in my team and captained on thursday night. Why didn't the site go down on Thursday and not on Friday? This is really upsetting me and I feel like giving up.

    I think they should restart the season goddamit. Its the least the FA could do seeing as they've let these charlatans run their fpl game for them.
