Just a slightly badly aimed joke, old pal. Apologies.
I see you and Dirty having your mock arguments at times, so thought i'd join in, but got the vibe a bit wrong :wenger:
Nah it's all good. I'll be back to crying about my team being shit after using all my luck today

Beautiful.
I cannot be losing any of my fantasy footy internet mates over a throwaway line. :drool:

@Moby , I was about to pile in too so don't take it too deep :). It's good that we can usually throw a bit of slagging around without anyone taking it too serious. I see them idiots at fantasy football scout have had a meltdown so let's not be like that
Don't worry, I'll be after you for the rest of your life if Bowen does anything tomorrow. :lol:

Those scout guys are doing this stuff every year for attention seeking.

In hindsight, Watkins away to a crap team, with doubt over the main Man City guys playing time was utter genius.
To not even have considered Watkins says it all about my season's decision making :lol:

What the feck happened in here. Chill out guys, anything said in this thread is obviously in light spirit.

The best part of this thread is to blame others when things go wrong, without that, it would just be like a Reddit thread.

Now @Andycoleno9 tell us how shit you are.

Like you steering me off Alvarez as cap last week.
Though I did remember the ugly feeling of needing Alvarez to do something the last time as cap and he just about squeezed 1 tap in in.

That's what decided for me in the end. My gut was with Gordon or Solanke because I prefer home captains but Watkins is much more reliable than those guys. Huge luck that his haul comes in the last week where there are non premium captains because it will be back to Haaland every week from now on

A good call, and this is why we tag you into our decisions each week.

I've been behind on a lot of the key stuff this year. Solanke, Gordon 2 i've not owned at all.
Staying on 3 United for ages and losing 0.6m set the tone at the start too.

He's the second highest scorer and costs peanuts. Anyone selling him anytime soon is not a serious player.
Phew...checked who you meant and for once it's not me making an andycole9 of it.

Ah here you have me petrified now :lol: . I thought my logic was sound but this season has been ridiculous for

1) picking the wrong captain
2) benching the player in the midfield/attack 8 that ends up top scoring

Would be a miracle if Bowen blanks now.

Goodness gracious, you guys take this game far too seriously.
Shit advice and sabotaging others is very clearly going on.
Put the keyboards away and go at it with fists.

Feck, this is like an episode of Traitors!

To lighten the mood and cheer everyone up (well all the United fans anyway)… quoting this in case you’ve missed it. I’m sending it to a Wolves supporting work colleague on Monday :lol: :lol:… I’ve watched it almost as many times as the actual Mainoo goal.

The greatest team in history
Twatkins was the one. RIP to anyone who took him out.

Watch Soblanke do feck all tomorrow now. Feels ages since I had a decent captain score.

It was very open this week to be fair. You could make a narrative/counter narrative for any of the options.

Sheffield had never capitulated or been thrashed under Wilder before yesterday. They even managed to keep City and Liverpool to just two goals. All that plus them managing to get a point in the reverse picture made it a freak result yesterday.

Plus... The Yeti hasn't played yet. Can easily get a hat trick in 60 minutes.

I still don't get the assist rules. Last week Doughty sent in a cross and it brushed João Pedro head on the way to Adebayo, who headed it in. No assist for Doughty.

This week he took a shot that got saved and then Barkley tapped it in. Doughty got an assist. Same happened for Gordon.

How on earth have they put in the rules that scenario 1 isn't deserving of an assist but scenario 2 is? Ridiculous.

Rebounds from shots are assists. Crosses/passes that are deflected and change the intended target are not assists.

These have always been the rules. Guess it's confusing to someone new to the game.

Nah, I know that's the rule... I just think it's stupid. A cross (like the one Doughty put in) barely changed direction... Now compare that to a rebounded shot :houllier:

I feel like I’ve missed the moment to have a go at Moby… and he didn’t affect my captaincy pick.

@Moby… is there anything else you’ve done I can have a go at you for? Kicked a cat.. not given up your seat for an old lady.. laughed at a little kid miskicking a ball at a park?

EDIT… you didn’t tell me to repick Hojlund. Selfish!

Of course Solanke, who has been killing my rank, does nothing when I finally get him in. And don't talk to me about Bowen. Useless bumbacluts.

Garnacho wasn't a good move. I gambled on him because of price but i will get rid as soon Hwang comes back.
