I've joined, will forget by gameweek 2 and be back in a year to see how I fared.

Maybe do fivers in to keep people's interest a bit?

Has anyone not captained Haaland?

I didn't even do it deliberately! Assume it did it automatically as the most expensive player or something.

Has anyone not captained Haaland? Regret not selecting triple captain but thought i'd best not for the first game. |

A team like this getting 116pts is some AI bullshit  |

Good wildcard for me so far  |

I’m clinging on until the window slams shut but I’m really suffering from injuries and players linked with moves not getting games.
I think today might be the worst return I’ve ever had on a match day when so many clubs I’ve got players from had games.

I auto generated my team but there are a couple of players who will never get a game so will have a little tinker with it before going live.
Plus it gave me some expensive defenders. Spending more than 5.5 always feels like a waste when conceding is inevitable. I don’t mind going higher in an international tournament but a league season? Not unless they’re an assist machine full back.

Being away for the rest of the week Ive been tinkering with my team. Currently gone for a non Harland and Sarah side. Convinced myself that both City and Liverpool are going to have middling seasons. But I probably got that horribly wrong.

Heh, I think I have selected every combination of players for my team possible at this point  |

I hit autofill to have a placeholder team to enter into leagues but I’ve only gone and forgotten to make any changes so I’m going into week 1 with a defence thats almost as expensive as my midfield

Start as you mean to go on. Week 1 is going well for me, sad and inevitable decline from here |

Lucky for me most of my work are crap at Fantasy Football and it turns out my auto-fill placeholder team (captained by Mateta) are second in the league and won their head-to-head league match as well.
Only 59 points but that’s a decent return considering I completely forgot I was meant to update it with real selections before the first game week.
An all Arsenal/City backline helped for sure.

Better to be lucky than good I started strong but finished pathetic, a bit like my sex life...and Spurs |

I have given this a miss this year. I lose interest very quickly.
And for the first time in over 25 years, we ar not using Fantasyleague.com for my auction league. We are giving Fantrax a go after FL fucked it last year. Paying £30 each was untenable. We're a bit behind due to holidays etc so will be missing gameweek 1.

I think this is the only time I've topped a league, so I'll make the most of my fortunes this week.

My four defenders made up about 60% of my points, and that’s with no goals or assists between them. My front six choices were abysmal.

Given my team a full post-transfer window wildcard rebuild.
Its a pretty balanced squad but that means no Haaland which means I’m guaranteed a bottom half finish as almost everyone else in most of my leagues has him captained.

Same, add to the fact that every player I drop gets big points the next week, having a mare  |

Yeah I thought I try the no Haaland/salah route too, for a more balanced team. Wildcard played. |

I went for balance over Haaland, made Watkins my star striker. Since when Watkins has turned into comedy era Emile Heskey and Haaland has scored with every touch he’s had.
