    How about an "original six" common market team ?

    Should be a strong contender, not enough restrictions.

    Hmm.
    This is what I decided on. I went with only nationals of the original
    six European Common Market countries. It is more restricted than you
    might think. Not as many Germans worth picking are around as used to
    be. I will try to make sure at least four countries are represented in
    the sqaud, and will aim for five (no Italians right now, an oversight).

    So I was super happy yesterday that my captain Salah scored a hatrick to propel me to an early lead in the standings, but then I saw that he was the captain for 5 others too *SMH*

    Question: What happens to KDB's score since their opener was postponed? Do I get credit for that game when it happens? I think so, but just confirming.

    B&W Propagandists this week: Salah + 10 duds. Bleah. Fantasy Premier League sucks.
    On the other hand, the Serie A Rejects have a good chance to take first place. Captain Salah, three clean sheets and two assists for my defenders so far, and even Moise Kean chipped in with a 1-minute/1-point appearance, which is more than we expect to muster from the forward spot the whole season.

    Nope. City and United (and Burnley and Villa) will have a double week some time down the line.

    so as long as Debruyne is still in your lineup and not injured, you will eventually get whatever points he gets in the game vs. Villa

    Only one Italian player in the Serie A rejects (Jorginho - originally a Brazilian)

    Tsk, tsk...Moise Kean (born in Vercelli) is as Italian as they come. Also on my watchlist are Angelo Ogbonna, Davide Zappacosta (still on the Chelsea books as far as I can tell), and Emerson Palmieri (another naturalized one).

    More duddery from the Monday matches. Double bleah.

    This one nearly backfired with benchwarming Jorginho scoring at least 10 points, and starter Ruediger at risk of subbing in for a handful of minutes. I punched the air when Lampard announced his third sub and it wasn't Ruediger.

    Should be a 99-point haul for the Rejects, and maybe a top 10K ranking?

    37 pts and my MU aces not even playing. Can't be disappointed, hopefully

    I was doing sort of fine, despite using my wildcard to drop Kane and Son after three match days, before a catastrophic GW11, when everybody else scored in the 90s and I ended up with a meager 36. I've been trying to inch my way back up with conventional picks since then...problem is that by now I have priced myself out of some of the big point-getters.
    But the real question is: how did I not bleeping realize until now that Bruno Fernandes is eligible for the Serie A Rejects ?!?? <cursing emoji><cursing emoji><cursing emoji>

    :-)

    What a game week!

    Watching all those missed Liverpool chances, especially by Salah, was
    really amusing as the icing on the cake.

    45 points for me, used my bench boost and got 11 fine points there
    (Rashford 7, put him on the bench due to injury warning).

    Basically in the same position as last year, like then I started poorly but moved up at a steady pace.

    Quoting anders t in rec.sport.soccer:
    Cup's up!

    I'm up vs. "JimmySavillesLeftNut".

    Good luck everybloody in it!

    I'm up 69-63 before tomorrow.

    We both have Bednarek so cancelled.

    But he also has Ward-Prowse.

    So if Ward-Prowse <6 I win.
