Low team ID makes it look like I take the game seriously :P

My ID was under 7k last season so hoping for improvement on that this season

I barely got lower OR than ID last season, hopefully the trend continues after I snag a top 100 ID number :cool:

Season before last I got 20 and it was a horrible season super low is a jinx! Last season I was 168 and did way better.

I'm new to this level of geekiness!

I got 4695 last season and wasn't clued into the thing at all, just happened to check back in here post World Cup on the day it opened or shortly after.

A 3 figure ID would be a thing of some excitement!

When you have a low ID and you give it to someone to enter a tourney you feel pretty dam cool! It's like yeh this is how serious I take the game I spent hours mashing F5 to get this badboy.

Have that giddy xmas eve feeling right now.

Mr.Prodston

What price is Mickey Turner going to be I wonder? Ahhhhhhhhh excitement

The break was great but I'm very ready to get back into things. The month of planning only for it to go tits up within 10 minutes of GW1 is one of the best parts of the game :pac:

Just makes it worse when you try to explain that your shítty ranking is just a temporary blip :pac:

According to FFS, the gap between re-reg and re-launch last year was 5 days, so everyone just calm down!

I saw that, but I still think it will be this week. With the pl kicking off a week earlier it's always been around 4 weeks from launch to gw1 deadline and I can't see them going much shorter.

My guess is Wednesday. The 5 days mentioned above included a weekend, re-reg Fri to launch Wed or something like that, so 3 working days.

Alexis Sanchez likely to miss the start of the season.

It's theo time

Ziegler1988

It's also the same amount of time for Aguero between end of international tournament and start of season as 14/15 when he didn't start until GW3. Although he scored in both sub appearances and got a brace from the bench after Copa 2011

The fact that they have an early showdown with Chelsea in GW2 I think increases the liklihood he'll be rushed back for that game at least.

Already there is an Aguero conundrum! Thankfully Pellegrini is usually fairly forthright in team news so hopefully it will be clearer (but not too clear) by the KO.

I probably won't start with him since I wouldn't even captain him until GW4. Hazard, Costa, and Arsenal attackers will be the main captaincy shouts for GW1, I imagine.

i'd wager on a 20min sub appearance gw1 and then to start vs Chelsea after a full weeks training

I think a lot of people will be using their wildcards to bring Sanchez and Aguero in this season!

Can you still access end of season records from last season?

Is it likely that FF will be up and running tomorrow?

Its possible. We're definitely bang in the middle of the window you when you would expect it to open. The last few years it's opened a day or two either side of a month before the season starts. Keep an eye on the player list that is normally the first thing to update.

Lucas Hood

There was an update for the official android app today .

Getting close now.

Yeh i'm expecting them not to bother now. Like how UFPL was delayed there was all the hype leading to it then just a message saying UFPL will be coming next season. Would love to see the twitter reaction if they posted from the Premier League account saying FPL was cancelled for a season!

Ziegler1988

I'm predicting they drop it on Friday and let us nerd out all weekend

Hope so. Be something to do Saturday night while waiting for that Irish lad to kick that american lad in the face.

Mr.Prodston

J-Rod with 2 goals for Southampton on his return from over 12 months out.

New RB Soares who'll replace Clyne also scores.

Just throwing it out there

Hehe that was a farce alright!

Remember when the site crashed before the first gameweek and thousands of people could change their teams or even register??!!

That was so annoying that season I had a team that wasn't great for gw1 but that I thought would be strong for the 6/7 weeks after that and then we all get another bloody wildcard and my sacrificing of gw1 goes to waste!

Yeah, friend of mine restarted our league from gameweek 2. Wasn't too happy as it was rewarding the guys who hadn't put any effort into it over the previous few weeks.

FHFC

Right, I've got it pretty bad this year it seems, cause while waiting impatiently for the site to launch I've spent an obscene amount of time the last couple of days trying to come up with a killer original team name. I've even got a wee notebook in case inspiration strikes unexpectedly!! :o

I'd been set on Fer Fuchs Ake but I've seen it all over FFS this past week so it seems like it's gonna be common as muck. I'm claiming it though seeing I posted it here 6 weeks ago....http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=95751552&postcount=4088...but great minds have thunk alike, or else this forum has further reach than we imagine.

There are some good witty tried and tested names around but being a terrace poet round Finn Park way I like to try and come up with something new, so these are all my own work....

• Girouding up a Storm
• iKane,iShaw,iKrancjar'd (this one is too long unless you lose all the punctuation then it doesn't really work, but I love it)
• Too Mané Fuchs Given
• Mané Fer Naughton
• Too Mutch Mané
• The Kolarov Mané (Have seen the Kolarov Money before in fairness)
• Dann Juanmi Brady (works better with Bebé but I prefer to stick with current players....hoping Norwich cough up the cash!)

Oh, and if you think they're all shîte...I'll get me Coates!

I'm between The Kolarov Mané and Dann Juanmi Brady at present.

Think I'm gonna go with the same name as last year - Ag Imirt Pelle

Ziegler1988

"Alexis is on holiday until August 3"

No chance he plays GW1 then

Bassong 4.5

Interesting that this Mark Rogers chap was right on Aguero wonder if it turns out he does somehow have the info. He seems to work for Talking Tables its a wholesale company I use bit strange for him to have inside knowledge of FPL.

jimmii

Game is being updated. Has it been like that for long?
