FPL 2017/18 - Gameweek 1


Here we are once again, the start of another Fantasy Premier League season!  Not long into my first season I have to admit I became a little obsessed, and this year I have taken my FPL addiction to a new level and subscribed to a new magazine solely about Fantasy Football!  The week before the Gameweek One deadline, I must have changed my team around a good thirty times.  The team I stuck with had some big players (with big price tags) - Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne, Christian Eriksen & Romelu Lukaku, I'm looking at you - as well as a few cheaper players like Nemanja Matic and Manolo Gabbiadini.  The lack of Chelsea players worried me slightly, but after their nightmare first match, I'm quite pleased I didn't have any in my team!  Let's see how my first Gameweek of the 2017/18 season went...

Team:
De Gea - 6
Cedric - 6
Bellerin - 1
Kompany - 6
Eriksen - 12
De Bruyne - 3
Matic - 3
Milivojevic - 1
Gabbiadini - 2
Kane (C) - 2
Lukaku (VC) - 13
Bench:
Elliot - 2
Carroll - 3
Hunemeier - 0
Mee - 0

Total Points: 55





Rankings:  I got a bit carried away when entering leagues this season, and I am in 21 leagues all together!  I'll highlight a few leagues each week, along with my main league - FPL Cash League.

FPL Cash League: 8
League Riffiths: 7
League Whooo: 1,486

Thoughts:  After a poor first couple of days of the FPL season (19 points), Lukaku and Eriksen saved my bacon!  I only wish I had captained one of them instead of Kane.  With no goals and a yellow card, a grand total of 2 points just isn't good enough for a captain!  Like I said at the start of the post, after initially worrying I had no Chelsea cover, I dodged a bit of a bullet by not having any.  In other news, I also got beaten by Scott Mills....

Here's what some of my team had to say about the first Gameweek of the Premier League 2017/18 season:
