Thanks, I’ve joined.

I've joined. Thanks for organising.

9 in already, good start. But come on tef folk, get your arses in gear. Should easily be able to get 20 involved

Ive never joined one before is it easy to sign up🤔

To be honest Jimmy, I found it a bit of a ball ache to get my head around when I first played at the beginning of last season, but got there in the end. Start by downloading the app, get yourself signed up and just ask on here if you need a hand from there. It’s a good laugh

Cheers👍

I’m in

Few of us in there now. So thats quite good

I might join this year. I'll have a look later in the week.

Thanks for arranging.

Joined! About 26 in there now

Up to 27. Good stuff

Is there a link at all? Haven't played any online FPL comps for yonks so wouldn't even know which one is what to be totally honest  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Cheers dude. Will check it out  ;D

31 now. Good stuff.

Any joy, Jimmy?

I'm in - 38 in the league.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but I’m doing a paid league with a few mates if anyone wants to join.

£10 in and winner takes all.

Send me a DM if interested.

DM’d you 👍

Will give it a go.

Up to 39 in the townend league by my reckoning.

Joined  :)

Will DM you

51 at last count.

Did anybody NOT pick Haaland?

He’s a fucking cheat code!

About 10% of teams! He's in 89.4% which is just a silly high number. Next highest is Saka in 60%, then Estupinan and Rashford the only others over 50%.

Probably 90% of that 90% have captained him too. Kinda breaks the game really.

I’ve got them all.

Obviously we've had the pleasure of watching two all time greats, if not the best two ever, in Messi and Ronaldo.  However, I have never seen anyone like Haaland.  Not at their two levels as a "footballer" but beyond anything I have ever seen at scoring.

I think I was the only player not to pick Haaland as captain going by the points tables this morning!

Looks like there are a few, but not many.

Surprised to see KDB was only selected by 16% of teams before the deadline. Was there suspicion that he’d had a poor off season or was carrying a knock?

He was injured in the CL final

Surprised Stones didn't play. I guess with Man City they have such a strong squad its tough to pick players that are going to play week in and week out.

You can all eat my dust. I’m a FPL phenom.

Has this been updated from last night as I'm sure I picked 3-1

Wrong thread mex

Indeed but someone update the prediction league 🙂

Unlucky Haaland pickers/captainers 😎

Triple captained him this week 😫

Oh shit! I almost (but not quite) feel bad for being so smug now.

😘

Best thing for FPL would be a long injury for Haaland (doesnt sound like it will be).

Combine that with Salah/Son and others off on international duty for most of January it will make team selection a bit more interesting as there doesn't seem to be much variation in teams. The likes of Haaland, Salah, Son, Saka, Watkins, Tripper, etc must have pretty high ownership % 

Yeah this is the main reason I lose interest every year, there just ends up being a "right" team and 80% of players have 80% the same team. The FPL Draft idea is better, but the scoring is so top heavy that basically whoever gets the first pick wins unless they're an idiot.

I'd quite like a league ban list, where you make everyone choose a squad that *doesn't* have Haaland, Salah and so on.

This is so true.

I wanted to make a draft without Haaland. As it sounded a lot of fun having all that spare money to invest elsewhere.

But you can't, as he'll randomly score 4 at home one week and then you've lost right there on the spot.

I’ve been Haaland-less for a good few weeks. It’s not hit me particularly hard as I’ve spent the funds on what should be on paper a very strong midfield and it’s allowed me to play Darwin, Watkins and Jackson up front, which should bring a lot of points but in reality, hasn’t. And my smug-ness kicked me upside the head yesterday as I thought I’d be well top of my respective leagues given most other people (such as Tans) had captained or played Haaland. As it happens my midfield misfired and I only ended up two points above the average. I deserved that.

I finished 3rd, happy with that! 1st must have at least been in the top 10,000! So well done that man!

He finished 5,092nd in the world out of 11 million teams, that a mental performance!

Come on, reveal yourself and bask in the glory.

I came 6th, i'll take that

Will join next season - disappointing second half of the season, ended up at 350k after being 10k around christmas!

Cheers all easy W, see you next year  :pint:  ;)

Yep missed out on a top 5K performance as Bruno got subbed 59th minute but otherwise really happy! Took some money home in a couple of mini leagues too 

Fair play that's a hell of a performance.

Havertz's last minute goal denied me victory in the money league that Quagmire on here runs  :doh:

Invite me invite me

More than welcome mate.

If I get enough interest - I could do a paid TEF league.

Count me in!
