PH Fantasy Premier League 2015/2016 is go go GO!

[Negative Creep]

2 injuries, 1 sending off and 2 of my players were part of a winning side. Good start.

[SpeedMattersNot]

Wooden spoon for me!

Cheers just joined. Head to head is closed thou due to game week 1 being played.

I chose Baines as he's always a gold mine for points. Let's just check on my scores for the week... oh bugger. :-(

[Nom de ploom]

22 points shocker...

and i've burned 12 of those on three extra tfrs....

annoyed that the game had Clyne injured upto kick off and tehn he played + clean sheet, he was my third sub ffs...

the only way is erm....

[ajprice]

I've got Adrian the keeper and Ya Ya Toure on my squad. They were both in the dream team for best points, they were both on my sub's bench

[GarryDK]

For anyone who is interested the predictions thread still has one space availible if any you want to join.

[MissChief]

Squad selection cut off is FRIDAY 6:45pm due to the Friday night ManU match! You have been warned!

[ajprice]

So I decided to swap a few players around for this week, and Adrian the keeper gets sent off. Playing Lukaku and Mata made up for it though. I have Man City and Chelsea players, and they play each other tomorrow, so, yeah.

[Negative Creep]

I thought I'd swap Lukaku out for this weekend *slow handclap*

[toon10]

So after dropping Baines through injury I thought I'd replace him with Jaanmat (who got himself sent off). Still at least I picked Rooney as my captain as he's doing so well. Oh wait...

[Cbull]

Think most had a poor week from last weeks games. Hate these international breaks too but as it stands it just means I'll have to sit at the top for an extra week. Just saying (enjoying it while I'm up there).

Hats off to the manager who chose to play their 'Triple-Captain' option this week and pick Aguero. 75 points!

Someone in our work league did that, 124 points from his whole team.

I'm pretty sure that I saw a tweet from the FPL saying that more than 20,000 managers did it.

well, thank god kane scored last night as triple captain - I had 30 points on the bench FFS...

75 though not too shabby

As a non footballist, can somebody explain what's happened in my team? I picked my team on Friday night as a normal 4 4 2, with Milner as vice captain. I've checked my team now and Milner is injured (yellow) and moved to the bench, Lukaku has moved on in place and scored points, and the team is 4 3 3.

IIRC Luk is a striker and Milner a midfielder so it automatically amends your formation?

Spot on. It brings in your subs if one of your starting eleven doesn't play but only if it fits the formations available (3-4-3, 3-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-4-2 etc)

[Nom de ploom]

what i don't get is why bertrand got an assist for his penalty win but vardy hasn't?

both in my team

can anyone explain?
