Tailend Charlie 2 (P19) here, just wondering if anyone is using a subscription site, eg Fantasy Football Hub, if so it is working for you & does it help with planning transfers, the people running these sites must be earning a fortune?

Personally it's not for me, as I've got a lack of spare pennies due to the costs associated with moving house plus I enjoy the mental workout of only having have a few items copied into an excel spreadsheet (including the fixture diffciulty rating (FDR) page that the official premier league FPL podcast with James Richardson appears to keep mentioning...).

Well that went well. Triple captain used. I quite fancied Vardy against Villa. (Discovered he was injured and didn't play 10 mins before kick off) rolleyes

I had a good week.

Wildcarded and came out with 79 points.

No changes required for next week so feeling a bit better. Had an 800k green arrow!

For some reason this season, every little trick I try is coming off.

Played the wildcard a few weeks back, nailed it! Played my Bench Boost a couple of weeks ago, nailed it again. Swapped captain Kane for Fernandes this week, nailed again. Now top of the PH League and 1200-odd in the whole thing. I'll take it because it won't last but enjoying it immensely.

After a relatively poor first few weeks (lowest OR was 5,080,856 after GW2!) I played my wildcard and have been doing pretty well since then and have risen from that low to 1,262,597. I've managed over 70 points the past two weeks and over 60 for times in the five weeks before that.

Decided this week to drop James Rodriquez and have got Jota in. Even with Salah back I can't see Klopp dropping him. Bonus is he's a midfielder too! I now have £1.5 in the bank too!

I feel for you. frown

I put the armband on him too and I had DCL as my vice. I'm really struggling this season, but hoping that things will eventually get better.

Dilemma now is what to do with my Spurs assets - Kane & Son.

Tough run of matches coming up but surely only a fool would get rid of them in their current form?

But... I don't have any City players... and their fixtures are very tasty... and Vardy....

I'm going to stick with them both.

I've avoided City players and City don't look right this season to me(up to now anyway).

Yep, I haven't even had a City player at all this season. In addition, Son and Kane are the two highest scorers in the competition and are both big game players IMO.

This week is a big week for my team. I have three Southampton players v Man United, three Tottenham players v Chelsea plus one player each playing Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool. I'd take 60 points if offered it now.

I captained Grealish by mistake after blowing -4 on getting Fernandes in specifically to captain him. Even managed to transfer Son out for added failure

With hindsight now I wish I'd transferred Salah out for Fernandes, I just put Salah on my bench.

Lucky transfer to bring in Ward Prowse this weekend. Left me on 50 points with Watkins & Grealish still to play. Not a bad week hopefully.

KdB captaincy went ok.

Finally seeing some progress and up to about 300k now.

Oooh typo - 50 points not 40!

Once again, my team is okay-ish (apart from Pep's rotation irritation) but my captain choice was a failure again.

Luckily everyone else seems to have picked DCL too!

I brought him in last week due to an injury. Checked on Sunday and I had him on the bench :-(

Still flying but some of the wind has come out of my sails as I've left JWP on the bench alongside Reguilon, that's 16 points right there folks.

Still have Grealish to play though, need a big week out of him. Captained DCL too which turned out well.... not!
