With the way things are shaping up, I won't have 11 starters this week.

I may end up with only 9 starters

 

[Eephus]

I'm going to miss the free game week 2 wild card from last year.

1.01 Sergio Aguero - F, Manchester City (£11.5)

1.01 Sergio Aguero - F, Manchester City (£11.5)

It was a good run.

 

[Bonzai]

Lambert!

Between the injuries, the Dempsey's, the player selections etc, managing this is pretty tough. I am glad this was only a 14 team league, any more would have been ugly.

Look at how many players who were put in to start did not even play a minute through out our league. And a bunch of peoples benches are really short too.

I'm going to end up scoring more with this team than my standard team. It's hard to see that happening very often unless I completely tank in my normal league.

Plenty of midfield and defensive choices available in the transfer. Keepers and forwards not so much (yet).

Quiet, you.I've got dinner for two at Chick Fil A on the line here...

Ughh, a 30 point performance to get things rolling in my inaugural campaign.

Does the site (or any other) have an optimal lineup feature like Yahoo does for their fantasy sports? I need some help here.

I wouldn't have won, but I'm a little peeved that I left 15 points on the bench.

Week's not over yet. You still have Lampard's second game and 15 points will be added to your total with substitutions.

If you get a chance, read up on the sub rules. http://fantasy.premierleague.com/rules/This is not like FFL in where points on your bench stay on your bench. Because Duffy and Herd did not play, the system will automatically put in Defoe and Collins on Thursday.

Overall you did fine. You just ran into a pretty good week from your opponent. Your final score will likely have won many other games once the subs are put in and you have your last game on Wednesday.

Do we have to post transfers here or in the league site? What are the point penalties for more than 1 transfer?

Do we have to post transfers here or in the league site? What are the point penalties for more than 1 transfer?

I believe it's the standard 4-points assigned by the site.

Yup. The FPL site is the authoritative source for all roster stuff from here on out. You can make one free transfer this week. Every additional transfer during a game week will result in a 4 point deduction from the upcoming week's score. If you don't make a change to your 15 man roster, you can bank one transfer and make two free moves next week. Doing that provides a lot more flexibility.You also get two Wild Cards that allow an unlimited number of transfers during a game week without a points deduction. One WC can be used at any time and the other is limited to the January window. Last year's week one website problems gave everybody a free WC in week two. No such luck this year.Don't forget to check the OP or Google doc to make sure your transfer targets aren't controlled by somebody else.

It can't hurt to post the transfers here if you want in addition to the web site. It may make it easier for people to check if a mistake has been made by transferring a player protected by someone else. Here are the Transfer Rules. =================After selecting your squad you can buy and sell players in the transfer market. Unlimited transfers can be made at no cost until your first deadline.After your first deadline you will receive 1 free transfer each Gameweek. Each additional transfer you make in the same Gameweek will deduct 4 points from your total score (Classic scoring) and match score (Head-to-Head scoring) at the start of the next Gameweek.If you do not use your free transfer, you are able to make an additional free transfer the following Gameweek. If you do not use this saved free transfer in the following Gameweek, it will be carried over until you do. You can never have more than 1 saved transfer.

 

[Eephus]

Everybody is paid up as soon as one e-check clears tomorrow.

Payout will be 50/25/15/10 unless there's a huge groundswell for 60/30/10 before the weekend.

Is there a place where you can easily see who played this past week? I'm trying to find some players to pick up and finding guys who actually got playing time isn't proving easy. Is there a link or some place in the league or stats where you can find this in one spot?

When you go to the the transfer screen, you can sort the players available for pickup by points. That can give you an idea since we have only played one week so far.

Yeah, I just found it. I also found if you go to each fixture and pull up statistics, it'll list all the starters. Thanks for the help....just takes getting a little used to the site.

Ok cool. Box scores with all stats are listed in a million other places online too if you don't like how it is presented on the fantasy web site.

The EA Sports PPI rating is used for calculation of bonus points. The week one PPI stats aren't up yet because of the Wednesday game but they'll be available on the FPL site.

I think the bonus stats have been added for every game already outside of today even if the stats are not available yet right?

Me too. Thought I won. Now it looks like if Torres scores, I lose.

If it was Terry, the Reading keeper would have made it back to his box with time to spare

 

[NewlyRetired]

Well nothing like blowing your load all in one week.

Ivanovic put up an absolutely massive 44 point week for us.

I would be surprised if he gets 40 in the next ten weeks combined.

Happily I also captained him in the points only league.

 

[Moe.]

Cahill made things interesting for me. Stupid Shane Long and his missed penalty.

 

[Sebowski]

I didn't realize the refs weren't going to call offsides today.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Hazard with 5 assists already. Two of which I think came from drawing pk's.

If Vertonghen and Giroud don't start playing soon I'm going to dig myself a hole early.

Yeah, but will it be just until Kaboul is back? I thought he was brought in to replace Gallas.

I was pretty tempted to blow my team up with the wildcard, but resisted and only made one move. I need the Dempsey saga to end ASAP.

I was pretty tempted to blow my team up with the wildcard, but resisted and only made one move. I need the Dempsey saga to end ASAP.

Fulham boss Martin Jol has offered Clint Dempsey a way back to the first team.Jol is frustrated that he has been left with an unsettled player, but has offered an olive branch to Fulham's top scorer of last season."Mentally Clint wants to move, he doesn't want to stay here. His head was turned and that was the problem," Jol said on Thursday."It's a problem and a situation you don't want. It's not something you can talk to a player about every day because he doesn't want to."I don't know if he'll remain a Fulham player. I'd love to keep him, but I'm not sure."Hopefully if he stays, then in the next couple of weeks he will change his thoughts about us."With me there's no problem and I don't think there's a problem within the team over him."Jol denied Dempsey had refused to play for Fulham again, instead declaring it was his decision to drop the 29-year-old, who has entered the final year of his contract."I never said he's gone on strike," he said. "It started during our pre-season tour to Germany. I was probably a bit naive, asking 'Clint, do you want to start?'. All he said was 'you know what I want'."This hasn't caused any disruption to the squad because of the decision I made in Germany not to play him."After that it was very difficult to communicate. He was not committed to the team."For us it would have been better had Liverpool followed it up with a formal bid, but they haven't."
