I did come top of one of the leagues a couple of years back, I think. It was nothing compared to your stellar performance last time though. ;bowdown
My approach to the predictor and fantasy football is rather law of averages based to I don't tend to get involved in the detailed transfer discussions etc.
So far I have 286 points from 6 gameweeks. Towards these my front three have chipped in with 170. To think where I would be had I had a decent midfield and defence ;wink
I think my app is malfunctioning ;hmm It seems to be showing the H2H league upside down! It must be that as there's no way I could be 29th! ;puzzled ;weep
I actually started off worse last year and hadnt even won a H2H at this point. Oh and I only found out my position because the other 'alf mentioned she was 3 points off the leader (despite having a smaller total of points than me ;wahoo )
Also, if we removed the points (ill-gotten gains) from those who captained Kane this week to create a true reflection Moral Victory League, we are both be doing much better! ;whistle
(I lost by one point in the H2H to someone who earned points from Captain Kane this week. They know who they are. ;whistle #offtheChristmascardlist )
Just checked my other teams: rooted to the bottom of the league in Draft (rubbish game, anyway, who though it was a good idea? ;doh ); had been doing well in Cheap League until my outstanding decision to captain Alonso + leave King on the bench (rubbish game, anyway, who though it was a good idea? ;doh )
I captained Mendy in the cheap league. He scored zero AND got injured. I assume a player who's allergic to my captains armband ;nonono I've hardly been covering myself in glory cheap league wise anyway...
I'm not too bad in the draft league (and I like that I can attempt as many TFs as I desire every week without penalty! ;wahoo )
As for captaining Kane, I have him in my team but there's no way I could captain him against us. When watching the game I'd be wanting him to miss everything whilst knowing he's my captain and that wouldn't sit well. I do get that if we lost there'd be compensation points wise if it was Kane's fault but I had other players who were worthy of captaincy that week ( and even if that wasnt the case I couldnt do it! ).
I'm not doing too bad over all points wise, most likely better than at this stage last season. So I'm still optimistic on moving up in the points league (and the H2H!).
I think the real problem is that I haven't made enough TFs!! That always helps ;wahoo ;nolan ;barrera
I put Ritchie on the out transactions for Shaquiri (he gets injured a lot so I thought I'd bring him in just before the inevitable happens and then I can TF him out again ;wahoo ) I wasnt fussed whether it happened or not and it may have been purely done on a reaction basis because I dont like a MF in my team that cant score or assist vs Brighton!
My friend Jen cracked a rib several weeks ago (number 8 I think). The last time I spoke to her she said she wouldnt be fit to play for Man City for a little bit longer ;whistle
I transferred Morata in as soon as the GW started ( my free hit chip prohibited access before that) so he hasnt even played for me before being injured. So I am thinking its my fault ;hmm Hopefully, as it was caught before being serious, the international break will see him recover or just miss one game.
Fe Bruyne ruined my draft team and Sakho's goal cost me 4 points in both my teams. Regardless, I am fairly happy, my strikers scored another 3 goals, I only wish Lukaku had scored one or two more, as I have him captained.
Onwards and upwards, waiting for the bubble to burst

I've been wondering whose that team was for a while now. Didn't you win the league a couple of seasons back?

Still, it answered my question about whether, if you are bottom, ALL your waivers go through, or only the 1st one. And then the turn-taking kicks in.

Wonder what MF you have your eye on? ;hmm
Strikers aren't easy to get your hands on in draft. However, there are a few decent defenders that are free (you just got rid of one of them)
Tripled Captained Lukaku so wonder if his streak will end now.
Ironically, I cant sell Aguero (who I believe I only brought in last week!) until next GW as I cant access him because of a chip I've played
When grey fractured his ribs it took that long for him to be able to get out of bed without help!
It don't half hurt ;weep
Meanwhile I gave the armband to Bailly in my cheap team.
It's a gift I have.

Edit: baz, I've just re-read your post, and understood it. ;nonono My #earlytransfer looks decidedly tardy now ;lol
