I'm starting a new thread for those
of us who are trying to be the best
football manager on Fab as the last
topic got too big and had to be closed.
I did well last week with Salah and Kane both scoring plus a couple of my defenders!
Just heard Hugo Lloris is out injured if any of have the Spurs keeper in your team! |

I fucking hate when the app says "injury 75% chance of playing". The accuracy of that figure is way off. I don't know who to make captain because sterling is 'injured' and salah has a tough fixture |

I've changed my Liverpool responsibilities this weekend and handed them to Man City and Chelsea players. |

I didn't because the fucking game told me sterling was injured, even though he started and scored. So i got a whopping 4 points from my £13m player  |

Considerable improvement in fortunes today, back up to a very respectable 67 points for the week. Loving the fact that i bought 3 wolves players at the start of the season. I can see them in the top half of the table. |

I’m losing sleep over changing my Captain from Hazard to Aguero last minute. Only 13 points difference, but that’s a full week for Jizzy Rascal!
Salah’s (usually) solid but he’s just not value for money at the moment. |

There's 12 points down the drain. |

I had a shocking week with only 35 points! None of my Liverpool or Spurs scored highly.
Thinking about getting
rid of Harry Kane as the guy looks
knackered but knowing my luck he will
then start banging in the goals again! |

"I had a really bad week. Down to 22 for me "
Shaqiri is a waste of money imo. Liverpool are famous for buying good players from other teams and then leaving them on the bench for the season. Consider swapping him for neves, schurlle or richarlison. |

"Ahhh is this fantasy premier league ? I'd love join "
We're 5 weeks in and your points won't carry over from any other leagues you've joined. But if you don't mind being bottom of the league then you can still join? |

"I'm getting worried
about both Kane and Salah.
Neither of them seem to be at
the same level of last season.
If they dont start banging in some
goals soon I'm having a mass clear out!"
I was thinking of trading salah for hazard but he is performing ok really. My benchmark at the moment is 30 points per player if they cost more than £8m, which i consider to be an expensive player. He's on 29 and is considered out of form. But his points are nicely spread out, which i value more than someone who gets 2 points for 5 weeks and then scores 4 goals in week 6. |

Hazard,Aguero or Lukaku could be
good options up front if Kane and
Salah both continue to do so badly.
I started season with Arnautovic as
I'm a West Ham fan and he has done
better than i expected but I'm not
sure yet if he will be fit to play
Chelsea on Sunday. |

Aguero isn't a good choice for captain because you never know if he'll start or just play 20 minutes. Lukaku hates his manager and will just have a so-so season.
I had Arnautovic on day 1 and he's great value for money. Hazard is who I have my eye on. |

"Tell a lie, I'm 5th and 2 points off the top 3. Coming for you Bucko
 Well done."
Yeah it won't last. Top 10 at the end of the season would be great. I'm conservative really, never make my strikers captain. So i score well most weeks but never get those 100+ point weeks. |

I had a great week with 67 points!
I knew Harry Kane would do business.
Have also climbed a place in the table.
Still not sure if should sell Salah
as he is just not same as last season.
Should really have started with Hazard.
lucky i dont have any Man Utd players! |

I toyed with the ideal of swapping salah for hazard, but based on their forthcoming fixtures then salah has the easiest ones. If salah doesn't bang in goals against Huddersfield and Cardiff then I'll make the trade. |

"It's a fairly close league and don't forget there's Friday night football "
my boys West Ham are away at Brighton

could be another good chance for
Arnautovic to score and get more points
if anyone has him in their team.

Good call.

he scored twice against Cardiff and got 26 points! |

I had a nightmare this week with
only 40 points.
Have had enough of Salah now and
am going to sell him and buy Hazard.
If my points total doesn't start
increasing soon there could well be
a vote of no confidence in boardroom!

Liverpool's next two fixtures are against teams in the relegation zone. Liverpool are the kind of team that can thump people 5-0. Don't be hasty. |

"Will Salah play tomorrow as heard he picked up an injury on international duty?"
I know I'm fucking livid. I kept him just for these two games. He's played through these kind of injuries before. I'm keeping him as captain. If he doesn't play or comes off early then I'm trading him. |

You have kane as a viable alternative for captain. I don't really have other options. So i guess that will determine which of us is 2nd place at the end of the week |

If mitrovic was home then he would be but both teams would settle for 1-0. Liverpool bring the pain. |

Very poor weekend from me with only 28 points.
Annoyed that Walker and Sterling didn't start for City and Mane was out injured for Liverpool so no points from any of them.
My 3 Wolves bargains also flopped at home to Watford.
At least Salah scored but now Kane seems to be on a goal drought! |

My worse weekend ever. 20 points. I had firmino as captain because i wasn't sure salah would do 90 minutes. But firmino was on the bench and came on for quarter of an hour

But salah got two assists as well. With the captain band he got more points than my entire team last week. I kept faith for these last two fixtures, two goals, two assist and a clean sheet - can't complain. |

"Salah and Mane got me loads of points "
With any luck hazard won't play tomorrow. I found I can sell firmino and swap Pedro for hazard if I accept a nothing striker. So salah has redeemed himself and firmino is getting the boot. |

Well you're on for a good week, this week. Personally i usually make midfielders as captain as they get assists more often and their goals are worth more than strikers goals. |

Have had to make few transfers in last 2 weeks as certain players like Kyle Walker had stopped performing and wernt earning any points.
my main new signing is Felipe Anderson as he has been outstanding for West Ham in recent matches.

Even though I started the season 1 month late I was disappointed to only finish in 25th position although had but luck with players getting injured and others in bad form.
I look forward to joining in again next season and hopefully doing a bit better next time!
Congrats to the winner... |
