Game week 5 is now past tense, scores are in, and things are beginning to take shape.
FPL continues to tease and amuse and everything befuddling!
Well done everyone; no matter what your score was, it’s only the 5th week down of a long season, so onward and upwards from here.
Just to recap:
First off, give yourself a big hand –
you’re one of (already)
11,963,171 players world-wide who have joined the EPL Fantasy Comps comp – WOW!!

So BANG!!
Our leader board shows just how close the scores are, and highlights both the ease of scoring well (when the players do their part!) and the fickle nature of scoring points or not.
Again, some of the so-called big hitters in FPL were not big scorers;
our points spread was a low 30 up to a high of 65 points - so extra congrats to all our above-average (ie 42 points across the entire FPL comp) scores this week in a particularly tight/tough week of scores.

Game week 6 kicks off Saturday night 27 September AEST, so remember to fix your teams before then.
And good luck everyone.
Finally, just as a tinsy incentive to maybe help, I will remind you that Saturday 27 September is Crush A Can Day (which translated to FPL lingo means "Pick your teams and SMASH IT!!") so let's get with the program and Crush It!
Forum H2H 25/26

, Slip Slot Slap who beat Bon Vivant by the skinniest margin of ONE point, while
Delta Blues and Fleet Feet shared the spoils with a tie, 36 points each! WOW!
And
Laroche went down to FPL average.

Game-week 6 starts Saturday night 27 September AEST, so a friendly reminder to fix your teams before then.
So, after the team selections, the tinkering, and then the actual games – our comps are well and truly up and running.
And we've already hit the weeks from now where some EPL teams have to play extra games (Champions League, Carabao Cup etc) so players will be rested, injured, carded - all the things which mystify FPL players'
The FUN of a long season to come is happening.
Now..
If not too sure at any time, check any of the multitude of web resources, f/b, twitter (aka “x”) – there’s a zillion “experts” all wanting to say they know!
Choose wisely.
We just need to release our own:
