F*ck it

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 2015, never captain Lukaku.

If I had one piece of advice to give, never captaining Lukaku would be it.

Yes, its all out attack! :eek::eek::eek:

its one of the better weeks to play it imo

Mr.Prodston

Here we go. This is what Prodston Picks for GW1

Ruddy
Mings - Huth - PVA
Henderbus - Walcott - Hazard (c) - Hoolahan (where I found my much needed 0.5)
Pelle - Rooney - Aguero

McCarthy. Bassong - Fletcher - Gomez

A team containing Aguero, Rooney, Hazard and Walcott couldn't be done they said. But I say it's useful to have an obsession with Norwich in certain circumstances It's a thing of beauty and like all beautiful things it could come crumbling down in minutes but I wouldn't have it any other way.

May everyone have adequate luck, may captain choices be bountiful and may our selections not look terrible by 2:05

This is the FSA!!!!

I disagree. Got a great haul from him last year when I captained him 1 week. Was a real differential too

Just don't do it every week. I think he's an excellent captain option this week if you have him

Yeah, I think Bournemouth are going to be psyched up in their first home game and against weak enough opposition in Villa they could do well, so midfielder number five Ritchie comes in. Will probably downgrade him to a 4.5 in Week 2 as I start raising the funds to bring in Aguero

Best of luck with that one. Toilet run about every 15mins should be fine.

Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News claims the players were told yesterday that Romero starts for Manchester United.

So lads, how many players in your team now were in it in your first draft?

2 for me only - Hazard and Deeney:pac:

Captain hazard benteke or rooney?

Think it would be madness to start with Johnstone just because Romero hasn't had enough training or whatever the excuse is. Romero was nvolved n the Copa so surely is relatively match fit.

I'm scared of what Ivan can do.

head completely wrecked and it's only game week 1 .... Best of luck players

Romero starts.

Just transferred him in.

That is hustling.

for 10 seconds there i was going to get in romero:eek:

Necronomicon

Well that's a relief. Agonising all morning, glad 11:45 is finally here.

Myhill
Bellerin Coates Huth
Ozil Hazard(c) Sterling Depay
Sakho Rooney Benteke

Hennessy, Gomez, Targett, Bentaleb

Pretty disappointed to realise only a few minutes ago that I only have 5 players playing today. The 15:00 KOs are fairly low stake for me, only have an interest in a single game.

I resisted the temptation to spend that 1.0 burning a whole in my bank account to upgrade Myhill to Courtois. COME ON SWANSEA!

stiffler123

Just got rid of Kane before the deadline. Thought process is if he doesn't score today his price could fall and make it harder to get Kun in.

Cech
Bellerin, Cedric, Francis,
Hazard, Mane, Walcott, Ritchie, Chadli
Rooney(C), Benteke

Good luck all.

Nib

Jesus, forgot all about Eriksen until I seen his name there.

The forgotten man of FPL?

If he stays at the 10 position this season he will do damage.

Will definitely adopt a wait-and-see approach to Eriksen. If he shows early promise he's straight into my team.

iroced

Jeez my heart !!!!!! :eek: :rolleyes:...

Just confirmed my rushed final team at 12:45 (seconds to the deadline). Oh dear... Some things will never change :rolleyes: :pac:...

I rushed a team in the last 2 and a half hour trying to catch up on the last 2/3 weeks tinkering and analyses in this little time. I'm just exhausted. Heart was racing mad when I confirmed the team. At least it went through. I have no idea how my team's looking. It should be balanced enough overall and in a decent shape for the first 6 GWs. In theory...

Big decisions:

1. decided against Aguero in the end,
2. went Fabregas over Hazard (hoping for a 2014-15 repeat ),
3. trusted Walcott
4. and ended up with 'Pulis' benched...

---

Here's how my first 2015-16 team will line up

Guzan
Azpi Bellerin Huth
Silva Fabregas Walcott (VC) Mahrez
Rooney (C) Kane Bony
Myhill ; Wanyama, Coates, Saylor

Good luck to you all. Think I'm back to the bed...

Dont be at yourself

First game will make or break my week. I've got:

Romero
Alderweirald
Mata
Kane
Rooney(c)

MarkSRFC21

Went with this is the end:

Ruddy
Bellerin Morgan gomez
Haz(c). Sterling. Henderson. Walcott
Rooney. Kane. Wilson

Subs: rudd. Ward. Saylor. Fletcher

Now we wait...

Scorpion Sting

All set.

Ruddy

Bellerin - Huth - Francis
Hazard (c) - Henderson - Walcott - Sterling

---

Kane - Rooney (v) - Sakho

Rudd - Fletcher - Cedric - Coates


A bit unsure on whether to start Sakho away to Arsenal but he might nick an assist or a goal even. Good luck to everyone this season.

Paully D

Anyone on here used a blue chip?

SkySter

I let my Arsenal loyalty get the better of me 5 minutes before the deadline.

Richie to Chamberlin
Cazorla to Ozil

I've a feeling these two are going to do very well indeed this season. Hope I'm right!

Hell naw. Watch. Observe. Learn from the mistakes of the overexcited.

wonski

I guess lot of players will be tempted to use it quickly.

Not going to worry about my ranking too much in first 2-3 weeks.

P.Walnuts

Panicked and took Walcott out for Ozil at 11.35 then re panicked and put him back in at 11.43....thank christ the deadline has passsed :pac:

Aguero (c) & Costa & Walcott! Are you trying to give yourself a heart attack in GW1!

greedygoblin

Surprisingly, my team has stayed the same as it was last night.

Myhill (Butland)
PvA Koscielny Huth (Bassong Francis)
Hazard Sterling Ozil Puncheon (Anya)
Benteke Rooney(C) Pelle

Would have liked to have upgraded Sterling to Silva but couldn't justify weakening the team elsewhere to afford in the end. Also, decided not to go all out Arsenal attack with both Walcott and Ozil. Too risky to put all my resources in one team this early which might not pay off.

Good luck all!
