Game week 8 is now past tense, scores are in, and we're 21% of the comp down.
And yes, FPL continues to tease and amuse and everything befuddling!
Well done everyone; no matter what your score was, it’s only the 8th 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) a massive
12,278,790 players world-wide who have joined the EPL Fantasy Comps comp – WOW!!

Delta Blues (@guyofthetiger) who brings us home this week with a steady score of 67 points and is in 9th position..
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 50 up to a high of 91 points (well done Fleet Feet) - so extra congrats to all our above-average (ie 56 points across the entire FPL comp) scores this week in a particularly testing week of scores.

Game week 9 kicks off early Saturday morning 25 October 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 25 October is "Make A Difference Day" so this round, in the big picture, we can (a) get higher points or (b) get lower points.
Either way, our tips say one thing about us: we are connected one of nine; by team research, we are prepared (and that might include a measure of wishin' and hopin'), and we are transformed one game at a time the leader board never lies!
Whatever takes our fancy - our tips will definitely be a tinsy measure for change. (Translated that means pisk a few high scoring players and sit back and watch the points pile in! (Oh, if it was only that simple).
Forum H2H 25/26
Here, with this season’s H2H comp having 9 entrants, being a weekly format of mate against mate, we have 4 winners, with the other player against “ FPL average.”.
Congrats to Game week 8 winners, being
Laroche, Too De Ligt to Quit, Slip Slot Slap, and
Fleet Feet, while
Eze does it defeated FPL average.
After Game week 8, the leader board now shows massive change:
Laroche has come out of the pack to now attain outright top spot with 18 points.
And we have a THREE-WAY for equal 2nd position with Real SoSoBad, Relegation FC and Eze does it now sitting on 15 points across the track, so to speak. WOW!!
And things are tight all the way down to
Delta Blues bringing us home on 2 points.
I know it's early days but this is amazing and shows just how tight our comp is.

Game-week 9 starts early Saturday morning 25 October AEST, so a friendly/urgent 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, with actually 21% of the comp down.
And while our EPL games seemingly take preference, there's the added input for some teams to also have to balance extra games in the Champions League, Europa 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:
