When you start Tim Melia and 2 SKC defenders and they blow a shutout with a meaningless PK in stoppage time.

I forgot about a Friday game. Thankfully we're the first match next Friday so I won't forget about the Friday game.

Fuck. I did this not only in fantasy but also my MLS Show prediction league. And I was watching on demand on MLS LIVE and sitting here counting my chickens at 82 mins. And clicked first new post out of habit.

Just shit. Also, I really don't like Vermes. No excuse to not play EPB.
 
And wait, so Vermes won't play his own talented youngsters but he's getting kids signed up as exchange students to join their academy? WTF.

Was that a matchup play against Colorado? Was a little surprised when I saw your lineup (full disclosure, still thought I was going to lose given how close we were going into the last game.)

Partly the Colorado matchup, partly SKC giving up only 1 goal in its first 4 games.

lol, i lost but i picked medranda specifically cause it looks like he gets subbed a lot 60-70 min mark, so im like ok sure he may not get 2 extra points from accruing passes or tackles but if they have a cleansheet going in he's the one most likely to preserve it by being subbed out. I was right! still lost, but its a small victory.

Medranda was my hedge, and I did get his clean sheet points, but I wasn't going to undermine my frustration by noting that last night since I still lost it on the other 2.

I'm not frustrated cause I got blown out and didn't lose by an excruciating 1pt, but I capped Urutti and everyone but him exploded on dallas. Come on man give me something. Inches from saying I did ok and lost, to saying wtf I can't do anything right.
 
Whatever happened to the discussion of ending the season after week 6? We were talking about that, right?

I'm in favor of calling it a season.

Does everyone know you can see what the rest of the fantasy world is doing each round by going into transfers and sorting players by Transfers In (round)? It gives you a good idea about what the conventional wisdom is each round before it starts.
 
I lost by one point. One freakin' point. Stupid, worthless penalty call. I hate fantasy.
 
mgarbowski mgarbowski adam NYCFC_Dan NYCFC_Dan or anyone else (I know JayH won't help since I'm playing him), how in the hell can I change my captain? The rules say it is possible. The interface seemingly disagrees.

ETA:
Nevermind. I see the caveat that I have to turn off auto-subs.

I don't fully get the auto-sub thing, but I think that's something I don't want to screw with, right?

Auto subs matter if one of your 11 doesn't play and you have a bench player worth something.

You also can't switch captains if the game has started for either the existing captain or new captain

Can't decide whether to captain Torres or ride with Valeri, who's been my captain all year. Feel like this choice will determine whether I win. Thinking I should stick with Valeri because jay will captain Cubo. So be different and hope to get lucky.
