FPL GW1: Preview, update and review (Deadline: 11:30 16Aug)

And so begins the long and winding road.

For those of you who have played Fantasy Premier League (FPL) before, you'll know what I'm talking about. For those of you who haven't, welcome. :notworthy:

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

However, whilst we're all playing for our own personal glory, we have the added incentive of:

Industrial Groove Machine vs. Eleven Imaginary Boys

In all my years of Fantasy Football, this is the first inter-forum FPL challenge that I've ever been involved in. So we're making history, in our own special way. :)

The main HL FPL thread will remain throughout the season, as I'm sure the TCC one will. However, GW threads will alternate between forums.

As soon as this one is done and dusted, it will be locked as per McFIFA and TCC will host the next. And vice versa.

HLers are under no obligation to cross-over (and can sit here talking to themselves), just as TCCers are under obligation to cross-over (and can sit there talking to themselves) during alternate GWs.

But it would be nice if you made the effort. Because some of us have made the effort for you.

I look forward to seeing some new faces on HL over the GW which will extend from Saturday to Monday due to the Premier League schedule.

Good luck all! :kiss:

who's been talking? WHO?

Yep, World Health Organization.

Or is this a Cramps' Call of the Wighat "Hoo!"?

I can understand the confusion as they both sound very similar.

I'm lacking approval too.

Do you think it is a deliberate tactic to keep us out? :wink:

And within one minute of this post I get approval.

Are they monitoring us, do you think?

No probs.
For anyone wanting to join there, we set up a registration queue so as to stop spammers & trolls & duplicate accounts.
If you don't get approved immediately, don't panic, someone will be checking the queue regularly :D

Well well. I bet no-one picked Ki for their squad

Not the start MUN/LVG were expecting. :lol:

Now I have to decide which game to watch next. QPR vs. HUL (as I have Austin) or WHU vs. TOT (as I have Eriksen). I think it may be the latter.

I have a lot of Arsenal, Palace & Scousehampton on my squad, so my points will gradually trickle in to form a FLOOD!

i only had four playing today, six tomorrow. 6 points so far.
has any decision been made as to who is replacing his painted blackness? i presume rifts are subject to stubborness over healing?

No. :|

But we have some irons in the fire re a replacement, who will hopefully be in situ before the end of GW1.
