That late Arsenal goal really helped me and the 2 point bonus from Pieters was a nice little surprise as well. Ended up on 50 points with Terry, Sterling, Dzeko, and Costa still to play. Very happy so far, got a few lucky bounces today and I’ll take it.
BTW, does anyone think that Taylor getting yanked off after 52 minutes today puts his starting position at risk?
Raziel
50 points, that awesome mate. I’m happy with my 45. I have ummm Terry, Fabregas, Costa (3 Chelsea) and Jovetic to play. Good for us.

Hey Red, great scoring! You have no idea how much I celebrated Ramsey’s winner…

Red
Nice scoring mate.
I would have thought his place is safe and it was only the circumstances of the day that meant he was subbed – I understand he was on a yellow card and was being a bit overrun at the time of his removal.
RedVT
Thanks Raz, james, and TGP. Your thoughts on Taylor are reassuring TGP, he WAS on a yellow and getting beat for speed down the wing. I just hope that’s not a pattern and Tiendalli doesn’t take his starting spot. I think I’m going to look around at other options just in case though, gotta keep an eye on that.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Red,
Yeah prepare a back-up but wouldn’t consider any transfer of him just yet.
RedVT
Thanks TGP. How did you do today (tried your link but the game’s being updated)? Did you captain Rooney or go for someone different?
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Red,
Captained Rooney. Had Siggy, Ramsey, Debuchy, Pieters and Eriksen.
49 currently with Forster, Terry, Sterling, Riviere and Diego Costa to play.
More than satisfied.
RedVT
Yeah, that’s a nice haul TGP! Well done mate. Glad to see some really nice scores from the FF247 crew. The world rankings just updated, I’m at 11,824 out of 2.8 million. I better take a picture of that while I can!!
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Red,
Looking at the scores on here tonight it seems a sizable number have double the average. Testament to the site and it’s thriving community with fantastic help and advice in no short supply. Let’s all keep it up.
Well done on your ranking. I’m just outside 15K – satisfied for a one-day half-team shift!
RedVT
Yes, absolutely TGP! You and the other authors did an amazing job with the pre-season write-ups and information. I literally had your Pre-season Friendly Overview article up on it’s own page (along with some others) for the past week while I got my team together. Between the articles and the forum interaction with other players this is the greatest FPL resource anywhere. I just hope the other guys in my mini-leagues never find it, ha!

Raziel

Bigpopz
Hey guys…
Got a problem ..
When u select my username to see my team linked, it not my team ..?
Some geezer called rob appears….
Can some check it out for me….?
Raziel
Ummm, that sounds scary. How can we select your team? Not linking your old? Anyway, give link or whatever?
Bigpopz
Some team called deny city fc…?
Wtf…?
Bigpopz
Sorry derby city fc…
What’s going on..?
AKA Night Wanderers
It’s because it’s linking to the account you had last year. But someone else is using that numeric user ID this year. It happened to me, so don’t worry.
Raziel
You mean Derby City? When I try to visit the site linked to your name I get Derby City. SOmething is wrong with the site at the moment by the way. Can’t see other teams, just my own.
Bigpopz
Raz..
I can see yours…
Raziel
I can see mine.
Mehehe, even cookie forgot to update his team till yesterday. Unsure if he’s done it now. Nobody tends to listen to me.
AKA Night Wanderers
Scroll to the bottom of this page and select ‘Profile/Change Password’. There you can change the URL link which is taking you to the wrong page. (Get the new link from your ‘history’ page).
Hope that helps.
Bigpopz
Aka night…
Ok..
Do I change the info stored in “website”
Then copy my new URL link for this seasons FPL page history..?
Raziel
Go to profile/change password and go to website and fill in the FPL history page yes.
AKA Night Wanderers
Yes Bigpopz. That should do the trick.
bihom17
Are you using the same link as last year? If you are, that’s the problem as your team id will have changed from last year.
Bigpopz
Yep…
Not changed anything from last year….didn’t think I had to..?
bihom17
You do. Your team id is decided by the order in which you created your team. i.e. if you were the 1460th person in the world to create a team your team id is 1460.
Bigpopz
Bihom…
So how do I change my I.D..?
bihom17
No you can’t change your id. Just copy the link you have on your current gameweek history page and paste it on the website section on your profile.
Maybe next year if you time your team-making to the milisecond you can keep your old team id. 😉
Bigpopz
Thanks a lot Bihom…
Had a mini panic attack..
Thought some nutter hacked my team …
That’s why I luv this site…
People are just so helpfull…
Thanks again..
Raziel
CRAZY PERSON YOU! Of course you have to change it, I changed mine months ago. Last year I was number 205.055. This year I was early, think I was 8912 or so. 😉
Nothing to see here people. Move on, please.
Bigpopz
Raz…
Cheers buddy…
Can’t do it just yet as FPL side updating…
How’s your team BTW…
I know its early days….but any selection regrets..?
Raziel
Chambers is a semi-regret. He will have to be booted out for another 4.5m defender. Baird not starting was shite, but Hutton (4m) starting and getting a CS is cool. Also glad I started Siggy. Aah yes, I got 45 points with Terry/Fabregas/Costa/Jovetic to play.
Changes I plan to make to my team are
DDG – GIlks
Pieters – Chambers* – Terry – Baird* – Hutton* (replace him after GW3)
Mata – Fabregas – Ramsey – Siggy – Albrighton
Costa – Rooney – Jovetic* (want to swap him for Pelle sooner or later)
Tekno-bojan (The 69er, Winner of Potty's 1st ever Twitter Comp; twice CL Comp winner, current profession: sexy model, formerly: Bulrog, mage, big bad dawg; hallway monitor; tranny; wannabe Nazi commander)
Raz
Gibbs went off injured so Chambers might play LB instead of Monreal. I’d wait and hear on any team news before shipping him out.
AKA Night Wanderers
Davies (Spurs) not starting was also particularly annoying.
Raziel
Bigpopz just asked the same question next page…
*shakes head*
Bigpopz
Raz …
Not a bad start bud..
Did you start wth Hutton…?
Raziel
Mehehe, no Hutton was my second defender on the bench, Baird being my first. So he won’t come off. Albrighton was third and last but he didn’t play. His there for the future though.
