How the hell would you even keep track of 100 teams, never mind that you'd need a different email address for each account? Madness.

I guess they'll just scattergun a load of teams, see which is the highest ranked of the lot in their league after a few weeks, and then just run with that one.

They'll have at least one team in the top 200k after a few gameweeks without any effort, and take it from there.

edit: Also, I wonder is there a market for selling login details to a decent team after a month or so?

If anyone thinks they spend too much time playing FPL, check out this league. Consists of about 4/5 guys with around 100 teams each. Ridiculous

That's mad, they must have a program developed for managing/transfers for those teams.

Sorry for the slightly OT question but what's the earliest highlights show available to watch on a Saturday. Going to be at a loose end from 7 onwards and was hoping to catch a highlights show. I know MOTD is 10.30 but is there any English speaking highlights show on earlier?

Cheers

More likely they don't think too much about it. Quickly do different types of transfers for them. Likely not bother with the many teams which will have started miserably.

Prefer not to have players up against each other where possible so this week have to decide on the Bournemouth v Everton match...

Fraser & Daniels or Coleman & Ricky?

With Wan-Bissaka out i have to play 2 of them...

It’s kinda like a 4312 And Firmino Is the 1

Curse of the false 9 I guess. Gives salah and Mane the space to run into and Keita is amazing dribbling at the defense too

Stephens prob the best nailed mid when he’s 4.4

And Zanka should be back soon so Bennett seems like the best 4.0. Peltier May have been dropped but find out more this weekend (y)

Hiya....is your point about Stephens and Bennett in response to my post wondering which are safest bench fodder lads?

If you have BT Sports, I'm pretty sure they do something at 8pm Saturday nights.

Perfect. Wasn't sure if that was a chat show or a highlights show. I'll take a look

Eir Sport do a highlights show as well. On slightly earlier than MOTD. Not exactly sure when it starts.

Yeah. Wan-B and Bennett seem to be the best 4.0 defender lads. Peltier may have been dropped for tactical reasons and Stephens, if he goes to 4.4 would be handy to have at that price... or Westwood for 4.5 might have a chance of a CS point with Burnley, but the EL is tough on them. not too sold on Guendouzi but the fixtures aren't bad if he can keep his spot

Robertson or Trippier?

That's ridiculous. Still even with all those teams top has a rank of 350k lol! There must be someone selling software to manage a load of teams somewhere no way there's all these people doing it manually. The number of people with 10+ teams seems to have exploded possibly due to the tweak to the rules on weekly prizes.

It really wasn't that clear from your post surprisingly! I'd say Robertson over any length of time personally. Maybe once we know for sure that Trippier is going to be on a decent number of set pieces he'll be the better option.

He comes across very very well on twitter
Dont think he takes life or defending too seriously LOL

By "3 pts", he means an assist obviously.

I am always a little in fear of full back rotation with Spurs too.

Guardian's teamsheets are always a little suspect but that takes beating :rolleyes: I just rely on the scout's predicted lines and paying attention to what managers say in the press conference.
