FPL GW1: Preview, update and review (Deadline: 11:30 16Aug)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

And so begins the long and winding road.

For those of you who have played Fantasy Premier League (FPL) before, you'll know what I'm talking about. For those of you who haven't, welcome. :notworthy:

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

However, whilst we're all playing for our own personal glory, we have the added incentive of:

Industrial Groove Machine vs. Eleven Imaginary Boys

In all my years of Fantasy Football, this is the first inter-forum FPL challenge that I've ever been involved in. So we're making history, in our own special way. :)

The main HL FPL thread will remain throughout the season, as I'm sure the TCC one will. However, GW threads will alternate between forums.

As soon as this one is done and dusted, it will be locked as per McFIFA and TCC will host the next. And vice versa.

HLers are under no obligation to cross-over (and can sit here talking to themselves), just as TCCers are under obligation to cross-over (and can sit there talking to themselves) during alternate GWs.

But it would be nice if you made the effort. Because some of us have made the effort for you.

I look forward to seeing some new faces on HL over the GW which will extend from Saturday to Monday due to the Premier League schedule.

Good luck all! :kiss:

Yep, World Health Organization.

Or is this a Cramps' Call of the Wighat "Hoo!"?

I can understand the confusion as they both sound very similar.

I'm lacking approval too.

Do you think it is a deliberate tactic to keep us out? :wink:

Are they monitoring us, do you think?

Not the start MUN/LVG were expecting. :lol:

Now I have to decide which game to watch next. QPR vs. HUL (as I have Austin) or WHU vs. TOT (as I have Eriksen). I think it may be the latter.

I have a lot of Arsenal, Palace & Scousehampton on my squad, so my points will gradually trickle in to form a FLOOD!

has any decision been made as to who is replacing his painted blackness? i presume rifts are subject to stubborness over healing?

No. :|

But we have some irons in the fire re a replacement, who will hopefully be in situ before the end of GW1.
