For those keen to play, I’ve created a Fantasy League for the new season (Hampshire’s Finest). I managed to get quite a few from here to join last season so give it a go. https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/3nc4b4 Play Fantasy Premier League and join my mini-league - Hampshire’s Finest League Code: 3nc4b4
Without trying to blow my own trumpet I came up with the idea of opening up a Fantasy League to this forum. The other so called ‘Official Not 606 Southampton Leagues’ are following my idea. All you other Slim Shadies are just imitating.
Ok. So how are everyone's teams going? I just had a nightmare week, even though I used my Wildcard early! I captained Jiminez (0 points, thanks to his OG) So AirdrieAllSorts finished with only 33 points!!!
I’m having an absolute shocker having won the league last year - hero to zero in 3 games! I’ve been tempted to throw in the Wildcard but the problem I have is my team (on paper) is good, it’s just the players haven’t been scoring. Defending so far is causing me problems as few teams are keeping clean sheets.
I saw a comment on something similar. Essentially it cautioning against using hindsight on your decisions. For example, Captaining Auba vs someone like Fulham is a sound decision. It doesn't become a bad one if he doesn't score and it doesn't mean you should get rid of him. If you have a good team with (usually) high scoring players, a couple of bad weeks doesn't mean they won't ever score again.
