Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 32
Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 32 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16 Since I donât have to write an MLS article this week because of their extended DGW schedule, I figured I may as well write up the weekly FPL captains article. Also, I wanted to get my turn on the capoâs doorknob done quickly so that I didnât get stuck having to write the DGW version of this piece. Thatâs just too much pressure. And I feel that my tendencies in picking capos ranges from the obvious to the completely unexpected – and I honestly believe that if I were to write this all out for a DGW… pe...[Read More]
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 32
Fantasy Football Fixtures Game-week 32 What was I to do? The wife was going to be out of town all week, leaving me at home with our two young boys. I was housebound for a whole week of evenings and I needed a plan. So I made a list. Idea number one â âBuy a workout DVDâ. Maybe one of those intense P90X ones. Yeah, thatâd be great I thought. I could lose a load of flab, and maybe even rediscover a noticeable boundary between my chin and my neck. But wait. What was I thinking? I live in Texas, and so even at an âobeseâ BMI by UK standards, I was still the skinny one in my new home. Yep. Exercise...[Read More]

Playing the DGWs with a Difference – Wildcard in GW32!!
Playing the DGWs with a Difference – Wildcard in GW32!! I had planned to play my Wildcard in GW 33 in order to play the Bench Boost chip in GW 34. As I looked for a few calculated moves that would be good for GW32 I noticed that there were some teams and players that I felt had huge potential that week who werenât in my existing team. This sparked me to consider what it would be like to Wildcard for GW32 and develop a plan that would prepare my team well for the weeks around the doubles. The major danger here is players getting injured during GW’s 32 & 33 leading up to the doub...[Read More]
Playing the DGWs with no Wildcard
[three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″] Embed from Getty Images [/three_fourth]Many will be reading this with a wildcard in their pockets, comfortable with not having to hit for DGW players leading up to DGW34 & 37. Thatâs nice for you, Iâm truly happy for you, honest!! Sadly, my wildcard pocket is empty though I do still have my Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips to use over the next few weeks. For a quick summary, I played my Wildcard in GW21 for a couple of reasons â my rank was shocking, the deficit to my mini-league leader was too much, there were 5/6 players I didnât own wh...[Read More]
MLS DGW4 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS DGW4 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer Are you still playing FMLS? Because if you are, youâre about to encounter one of the worst things about the American league – the nonsensical way in which the MLS handles international breaks. Whereas this coming weekend is a period of rest from club play for (pretty much) the entire world, the MLS still managed to schedule three matches. So 14 MLS clubs get to take the time off and not be affected by international call-ups, but 6 clubs have to navigate around reduced rosters. Makes sense right? Somehow those three matches are so crucial ...[Read More]
Playing the DGWs with a Wildcard in GW33
So while Cookie and his chums are in a state of panic myself and my cohort just sit back relax and âpass the kouchieâ. I mean I hadnât given my wildcard a momentâs thought until Init suggested I write this article. Ok I said, I love a good waffle! Before I give you my thoughts as to what my wildcard team will look like I suppose I should briefly explain why Iâve chosen to activate my wildcard in GW33. When the double game-weeks were announced last week I had five players (Hennessy, Cathcart, Payet, Ozil & Aguero) who were set to have a double in GW34. With Kompany injured that number was ...[Read More]

Socks, Sandals and Soccer: MLS Game Week 3 – Dallas Style Have they let us come back and write another version of our FC Dallas âFantasy MLSâ blog? Yes, it certainly looks like it. Will anyone read it? Probably not. Have I lived in the USA long enough to think that it is socially acceptable to ask, and answer, my own questions? Why, yes. Yes, I believe I have. So wassup people? All well I hope. Not too down in the dumps about last weekâs 5-0 beating at Houston? You what? You didnât even know they played?! Shocking. Well, as the season rumbles on, and as your FPL season comes to an end, o...[Read More]
