A stupendous report to start the season, Rosie! Thank you so much!
Ok. Now, here's the difficult bit. Sighs loudly ... Here you go Yubby. It's yours this week. You got lucky. Don't get too attached to the Cup as I'm taking it back off you next week. I'll enjoy that bit.
Rosie, I graciously handed the Manager of the Week Cup to Yubby!
Going against Harland didn't pay off this week, but could well next week for those with Liverpool players, esp Salah. I will be hiding behind the sofa during the Liverpool game! I was toing and froing between a Salah and non Salah draft pre season but it came down to wanting to be able to play Watkins without compromising my team too much. FPL is always more enjoyable when a Villa player does well and I loved having Watkins and Mings in my team at the end of last season. Get well soon Mings.Let's hope it's onwards and upwards for Villa and those with Villa players! I must admit, I thought everyone would have Diaby!
Rosie, I must admit I found it easier to choose this year and last year due to number of quality £8 million midfielders. Sam knows I like my 5 midfielders! It does make it a bit more samey samey predictable though. In some ways I preferred it when it was harder to pick as we all had more varied teams ...
I like reading The Scout articles and watching the video clips. They used to do an FPL show which I liked watching but don't seem to do it any more. I do go a bit glassy eyed with stats though! Yawn. Have a look at the clip of Salah saying he's overpriced and he captains himself every week ha ha! I'm a bit of a meany tight wad with bench players at the start of the season so usually have a bit of a weak bench to start. I usually choose mine from newly promoted teams as I hope it means they have a chance of starting! Apart from Turner, who I transferred in when he moved to Nottingham Forest, as I'm imagining a lot did - a no brainer really.
Anyway, good luck to everyone this week. Yubby, don't get too attached to your Cup!
