A bit. I can't help feeling that I jinx players I put into my team, so I'm slightly anxious about putting our players in there. Plus Kane tends to have a slow start and Jesus and Lukaku seems, realistically, to be better value for "money" as they are both cheaper.
The second I buy a player they get injured, I am staying well away from Spurs players.No Kane? Are you mad?
I wanna beat my co-workers, and need input from knowledgeable peoples.
My picks so far, for the upcoming season, are:
GK:
Hart (WHU) 4.5
Heaton (BUR) 5.0
Def:
Trippier (TOT) 5.5
Kompany (MCI) 6.0
Aké (BOU) 5.0
Bertrand (SOU) 5.5
Jagielka (EVE) 5.0
Midfield:
Coutinho (LIV) 9.0
Fabregas (CHE) 7.0
McArthur (CRY) 4.5
Ward-Prowse (SOU) 5.5
Willian (CHE) 7.0
Forwards:
Jesus (MCI) 10.5
Lukaku (MUN) 11.5
King (BOU) 7.5
Both keepers start with rough games, away against MUN and CHE, so I may change at least one of the before the first round.
Kompany had amazing return of points per minute played last season, but I think I might chose Mendy instead of him ahead of the first round when Mendy becomes available in game. Kompany is too injury prone, but may be an excellent choice when he's playing. Worth noting though that City may be defensively voulnerable, as always, with the amount of changes done in their defence, incl. keeper.
Will Jagielka be playing, with Williams and Keane in the club?
Fabregas, like Kompany, had a fantastic points per minute, as did Willian. The latter I expect will be a starter in the start of the season, with Hazard and Pedro injured. But will Fabregas start? With his return in terms of assists and goals he should imo, but I think Conte might prefer defensive qualities and go for Kanté and Bakayoko (seems the latter is injured though).
I expect Lukaku and Jesus to produce a frightening high number of goals and give our Kane a run for the boot, and they are both cheaper.
King was one of the best fantasy players in 2017 part of last season, and seems like fantastic value for "money", but will he keep it up? And how will the acquisition of Defoe affect him?
No Kane? Are you mad?
Now 15. Gotta fancy my chances against the know nothings off TFC!*BUMP*
Only 14 people!!!

Yep. Just a pun on Anal Cunt and Conte, I named it AnalConte. Pretty sure they just have a dumb brute force algorithm that goes through the database searching for specific words. I assume you can outwit it if you like but it seems like quite a fuss for a racist thing hardly anyone notice.Think RocketRonny had his team name changed. Nothing racist involved either.
And our TFC league name has to be changed for having cock in the nameThink RocketRonny had his team name changed. Nothing racist involved either.
The tweet say "in addition to this". Which seems a bit unnecessary as it's not determinable if it was made with racist intention. They don't specify if these were the same teams who had highly offensive names.But do you name your team "Hitler's XI"?
Maybe they read it asLol, my team name has to be changed. It was “Son the Jewels” which was really a dumb name anyway, just because I like Run the Jewels. I don’t have a clue how that’s offensive, but apparently it is.
I imagine because it has 'jew' in it and they just banned any team that contained 'jew' to get rid of all the antisemitic ones. You could probably still have 'Son the Jules' like Jules RimetLol, my team name has to be changed. It was “Son the Jewels” which was really a dumb name anyway, just because I like Run the Jewels. I don’t have a clue how that’s offensive, but apparently it is.
Few random thoughts.
You've spent far too much on your defence, I usually go with two 4.0 players and use the extra cash to beef up my midfield.
I always pick defenders who play every week and who get in among the goals and assists as clean sheets are pretty rare.
Points Per Minute is bullshit, total points is where it's at.
I'm building my team around Kane, Alli and either Eriksen or Trippier.
I always check out the Teams selected by % to get an idea of what the rest of the cunts are doing.
yeah but Kane's points per minute last season!!!.....
opened a TFC league 956198-229258
I went with
GK: Courtois, Forster
Def: Trippier, Cedric, Keane, Morgan, Yedlin
MF: Dele, Salah, Redmond, Willian, Loftus-Cheek
FW: Kane, Benteke, King
I'm going to finish last!
Think you have too many players that aren't going to be guaranteed starters, namely: Kompany, Jagielka, Fabregas, Willian.
