Crikey, I have to play Suzykins of Stokies this week and his team is an absolute monster, sitting at 169 in the OR. Someone should get him to enter the FISO league, he would be 2nd, only 2 points behind Stemania.

I have been thinking about Vardy; he already has him and even captained him last week. That's impressively bold. He has a thick Liverpool/Chelsea contingent, though, and that may impair him a bit this week in the H2H. Hopefully Palace won't keep a CS; he'll be pretty reliant on them with what looks likely to be a triple-block in defence.

Well done, Terminators!!

I hope I'll get my act together soon....

I had a slip of my old herding self there

SUZYKINS, WHO'S NOT IN THE FORUM LEAGUE

kudos to SUZYKINS 14th overall, who's not counted in the above stat as he's not in the Fiso Forum League
you can find him in 5AS Stokies https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/lea ... 38/classic (his FPL button not updated yet)

was 14th after GW1, and he too "fell" to 45th after GW2
he'd still be ahead in our Forum Leauge, IF ONLY HE BOTHERED TO JOIN IT
...

but don't count of me this season

He's of course not interested, as he wasn't in previous seasons either, fair enough.
(and it's not because the FPL private leagues cap limit, he'd have room aplenty)

outside of myself, afaik no one in the board or staff takes efforts to herd, lobby, encourage, invite stragglers into the FISO Forum League.
(apart announcing it, I mean: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=127869 -- this is not an attack or a criticism, just an assessment)
If anything, they even setup Leagues in competition with the FISO Forum League

[Ruth_NZ]

Maybe the FISO 5AS should require participation in the FISO League too? Would make sense to me anyway.

the subject was more or less mentioned at the beginning of last season too, and I tried to summarise it at the end of it

viewtopic.php?p=3197739#p3197739

its salient passage in relation to your proposal (although we were just commenting "being active", leave alone joining the Forum League)
was

...it's clearly better if people don't stay too silent.

There are quite a few teams which include fiso members who keep entering and playing their FPL team every season, but haven't been posting in the FPL (sub)forums since years.
I assume we trust their 5as captains check with them every season, but actually there's no explicit/official commitment about that.

It would be preferable for teams to active in the game thread however 5AS also has a solid block of teams that have been playing forever and as long as they set up a team they are more than welcome.
...
I did consider a full declaration - where everyone has to sign-in - but decided against it....

I had that misfortune last week. I lost 71 to 81 largely due to his Vardy captaincy.

Unusual squad structure. Certainly not very template fair play to him.

He used to be very active: but pretty much sticks to the Sun Forum when he posts nowadays.

You must have done something really bad like posting in the wrong place for the mods to banish you there
Uncanny but I am up that way on Saturday, daughter having Uni visit, so sussing out the pubs.
Not the same without the dynamic Arsenal duo of CrummyD & Dix(ed) Dean to spar with
Thought they might have let Kane back ? He may have evidence of his phantom monthly win in the Mail

[blahblah]

No comment on the Arsenal thing

Which Uni?

Probably be sampling a few in Lass O Gowrie if you fancy a pint old bean.

Not been there for years, lol.

PM me etc tomorrow.

4-0 to the Reprobates overnight but not all over yet.

[Oxford NZ]

Another tough day at the office for the Incredibles going 3-2 down v New Space over night.
AR is still going well for us and Blah looks like he could pick up a win from John Steed, if Steeds triple Bournemouth block falter.
Math still in with a chance against Neville W P but only if Hart can keep a clean sheet and Fraser gets more than appearance points and a clean sheet point or better.
Romyn with Tomkins, Fraser and Zaha against -13 plus Hart and Wan B is do able but a tough match.
Kuchi with plus 20 and Zaha looks insurmountable for Wan Bissaka and Fraser to catch for me, sorry guys, second defeat in a row. Off to take a few hits and get back on track.
A big day coming up for Hart, Wan Bissaka, Zaha and the Bournemouth boys for both teams so Good luck to both anyway.

[blahblah]

I'm delusionally confident of a CP CS

I'm not sure I need that tbh, but a few Henn saves and W-B assist would help if Fraser(?) fires.

[Aldershot Rejects]

AR is still going well for us ...

I've got a 100% record this year I think ... All defeats Hopefully I can begin to contribute this week.

[RomynPG]

Pretty much down to Fraser for us - need 7/8 from him - but not much more.

Or Zaha assisting Tomkins with a CS and 3BP's?

Fraser could cost us the 2 that we are winning?

[No Way Jose]

I let the virgins down with a poor week but we still managed a 4-1 win. If my team ever hits form we could be a top 5 team

Has a virgins team ever won it?

[SUZYKINS]

Crikey, I have to play Suzykins of Stokies this week

Unlucky Ruth , went right to the death there

[TheRumourMill]

As a member of the virgins team its fantastic to see us top of the league! However I do wonder if we have shot our load too early........ which would be kinda appropriate for a virgins team actually.

Spies pick up a win v Dissension. Even with me old pal Roga using his bench boost on me ... dirty tactics

I don't believe so. A fantastic effort from you guys so far.

We formed a new team with all the players from our own Virgins effort and won the league in 13/14 (I think). No second season syndrome here! We did have the Golden Boot winner amongst our numbers in the Virgins season though.
