Hi capt,
Thanks for setting up the forum.
Hi everyone else,
My name is Kelvin, from Singapore based in HK atm. Looking forward to kicking some ass with this great team. It's my first time participating in such a tournament, hoping to learn more from the experts in here.
Have taken two hits to bring in Alonso, Ozil and Anichebe this week. Looking to play 3-5-2 next GW. A lot depends on Costa's injuries.

Hi Everyone,
I'm Rasib from Bangladesh. And also a Mad Chelsea Fan(hoping there are more here). Like Kelvin's team above, I'm set up without Aguero as well but worried with some injury issues this week. I have one FT and 1M ITB which I would use right before match day to get a definite starter. So far this is how it is(I will be * marking the doubts and ** marking the ones who will definitely miss).
Heaton Alonso Morgan Cameron* Amat** Holebas** Pedro Sanchez* Firmino KDB DeRoon Wilson* Costa* Lukaku
Assuming my transfer would likely be Sanchez/Wilson who would miss out for Coutinho/Austin and Costa will definitely stay as I had him from 9.5, so if Costa misses out and the other two doesn't it will probably be Amat to Cedric/Brunt.
Cheers everyone.

Hi Everyone
I'm Ryan, some of you might recognise me as a mod on FFS. I'm from New Zealand and looking forward to participating in this tournament. Team is in reasonable shape I like to think bar dodgy sub defenders.

Hi I'm Roy (also known as Lord), based in London, and also a Chelsea fan. I don't have the nerve to play without Aguero, but it does free up cash. I am happy about getting Hazard back and doubling up on Liverpool mids to catch recent hauls, but am nervous about squad members coming back from South America. I also used my FT to swap Sanchez for KDB (I can't see Wenger risking him against Utd even if he says he is fit) but I will be crossing fingers etc during the Belgium match tomorrow. If all goes well I am planning a 3-5-2 line up, namely:
Pickford (Heaton) Lovren, McAuley, Pieters (Amat, Smith) KDB, Hazard, Firmino, Coutinho, Fletcher Aguero, Lukaku (Barrow)
Aguero is my preferred captain ahead of Lukaku, unless I think his start is at risk. I have £1.4M ITB, which I might use next week to get Arsenal cover, or I might carry the FT over if all goes well. Any alternative ideas are always welcome.
I am really looking forward to this competition, and am looking forward to pre-season training in those marvellous facilities in Saipan!
Good luck to all.

Hi Lord, nice to know there are more Chelsea Fans over here.
You should get Fletcher upgraded to Snoddy/Gundogan sooner he is never going to get attacking points. Were you playing 442 all this time?

Hi all!
I'm Alex a long suffering Spurs fan based in Herts England. I'm a long time FF player but have never really had much success, I'm definitely having my best season so far (not a huge achievement) but am currently in the top 3k.
Current team is:
Lloris (Pickford) Walker, Koscielney, Williams, (Kelly), (Browning) Gundogan, Firmino, Coutinho, Allen, (Carrick) Costa, Aguero, Lukaku
£1.4 ITB
I may make a transfer this week but I always wait to Friday before i decide (injuries etc). Ideally il save the transfer for the following week.
Looking forward to this competition, should be a good laugh. Me and my girlfriend are expecting our first child any time now (due date today) so I may be a bit slow to reply this week!

Rasib
Fletcher was a make-weight when I sold Walcott and Capoue to buy Coutinho a couple of game week ago (I did the same with Sterling and Deeney to get Hazard for GW11). I normally favour 3-4-3 and had planned on Fletcher being a benchwarmer, but one future possibility is to get a better 5th mid and go to 3-5-2 when I don't like Barrow's fixture. Another is to upgrade Barrow, and I would have done that already if I had the funds for Austin. For this week, I think Fletcher is a better bet than Barrow (or taking a hit), but I accept I am settling for 2-3 pts.
Alex - good luck mate. I was in your position 18 years ago and you are about to embark on an incredible journey. Keep in mind the multi-tasking benefits of nestling a babe in arms to give Mum a rest while you also watch the footie! I also remember dancing with delight with my daughter when Dennis Wise scored that f**king great goal in the San Siro; and hopefully Spurs have some nights like that in prospect.

I posted a reply but it doesn't seem to have actually posted for some reason. Anyway, I'm Murray aka Grubs on FFS. A big Birmingham City fan from Brum. Work as a Chef so if we win this thing, you can all come eat at my place free of charge. Big fan of the 3-4-3 as is evident in my team;
Foster Pickford Fuchs Pieters McAuley Amat Holebas Hazard Coutinho Firminho Allan Capoue Costa Lukaku Aguero
1FT. 0.1ITB. Probably saving this week tbh - nothing screams out to me and I'm not a fan of taking hits, never seems to work for me and I think I've learnt my lesson this season. Eventually I may lose Aguero in order to upgrade a MID but that depends on how he looks next couple of GWs.
Congrats to Alex, hope the wee one is happy and healthy. Good luck to us all! Great to be on board.

Really like the Costa Lukaku Aguero lineups even if that means having to play Fletcher most matches or a defender out of form or having tough fixtures.

Hi all, Hooky here. Below is my current squad and I've yet to use my free transfer this week. I'll wait for news on Sanchez but if he is fit then I'll probably do Smith to Cedrid/Mcauley/someone else so that I have 3 playing defenders.
Pickford, Heaton Brunt, Amat, Pieters, Holebas, Smith Sanchez, Walcott, Firmino, Coutinho, Hojbjerg Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

Lukaku(C) since I don't own Aguero. Might go for a Costa(C) if he is fully fit.
