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:

Nailsxo World Cup Nails 2014 - Nigeria

Nailsxo World Cup Nails 2014 Nigeria Nails & Football, two of my favourite things! I am so excited to be taking part in this challenge, which is the brainchild of Emily over at Nailsxo .   Everybody who is taking part in the challenge was assigned a random Country which is taking part in the World Cup in Brazil (not long until it starts, yay!).  After being given the Country (I was assigned Nigeria ), the challenge was to make some nails based on the Country.  Also, which ever teams wins the World Cup, the person who was assigned them wins a prize (although, let's face it... I'm not really expecting Nigeria to do that well)! So here they are: My index and little fingers are my own take on Nigerian fabric patterns. I was using my friend google to help me find some inspiration for my nails.  I found a  website about Nigeria , and found out that tie dying is very popular.  I also did a google image search for Nigerian...

Aussie Daft!

If you don't already know, I am a huge fan of Formula One.  I have watched it for as long as I can remember, back in the days where there were races on TV at 3am in the morning. Back then, the driver I was cheering on was David Coulthard - he comes from the same region as me!  Fast forward to 2007 and as well as cheering for DC, I couldn't help but also root for DC's teammate Mark Webber - another intelligent driver and nice guy.  Following on from Webber's retirement, his replacement at Red Bull in 2014 was another Aussie, Daniel Ricciardo.  It is hard not to warm to Ricciardo, as he is one of the smiliest and most genuine drivers on the grid - he is also a very talented racing driver, producing some wonderful overtakes, and completely outshining champion Sebastian Vettel in his first season with Red Bull. What a squad! Touchdown 🏈 excited to be here. Baku! A photo posted by Daniel Ricciardo (@danielricciardo) on Jun 15, 2016 at 12:00pm PDT ...
