Sadly we're going to have to take his word for it.

Short term maybe. Once the season kicks in and the early point scorers are established, most of us will be putting them in our teams. If you’ve got £6m for a midfielder it’s hard not to pick the highest scoring one for that money.
I don’t think he’s in. Most of us have got our proper names down, the ones that haven’t we pretty much know who they are.
Honcho must still be banned, he messaged me in February and said it was for three months, the prosecution must have appealed against the sentence.....and won!!!
Why withdraw from one league for being a cheat but not the other!!?
Honcho didn't say why he was banned but he did say who he thought got him banned!!
He said it was failure to meet terms and conditions but said he had no idea what he did wrong.
There was some divvy, I can't remember exactly who, who kept saying Honcho and I were one and the same.
I think if you're banned for 3 months I think it's highly likely you'll find somewhere else to go and never come back.

Nobby,
I was just reading through the thread in question, very strange, Honcho posted that he was banned, but was able to post, then a few of you were all discussing it, then it appeared that Irish got banned and you happened to mentioned that you thought that Irish, honcho and clarky 9 were all mesmerized.
There is no way irish is honcho or mes as I've been in a row with him and he was far too vicious to be either of them.

mes can be vicious... Once called me a Gnat! and a virgin..

I must have been winding up mes
Unless you are posting k***y p**n I don't think anyone should be banned.
Not as scathing as the time he told you were sh11t at chess!
I'll give irish his due, he told me three years ago that Gaelic Warrior was a three miler, I wondered why he hadn't been back to remind me of that since the Gold Cup

Been trying to mentally block that one out... And I'm not totally convinced he isn't using a bot.. Still refuses the 5 minute rush challenge.

Your rating is amazing kenbo, tomorrow I'll give you a chance to equalise... 11.5 - 10.5 to me... 
emitedeb you mug, I didn't call you a gnat, I said you have the brains of a gnat, but the gnats kept threatening me with legal action over the slur 
Turn it in with the bot nonsense , you're just coming across as bitter. Not only would you have to bypass their highly sophisticated, anti-cheating algorithm that closes over 100,000 accounts every single month using all sorts of metrics and methods to detect foul play including time stamps of each move, pre-moves or lack of, cursor movements/mechanical clicking patterns, highlighting squares/drawing arrows or lack of, cookies placed on browser to detect software use and /or switching of tabs, accuracy levels, unnatural pauses, moves made v top engine moves recommended etc etc
But even if you managed to get past that, you'd still also have to be one sad case considering there is no logic to doing so, there's no prize money, there's nothing to be gained and moreover, it would not help you improve in any way. 8 players have used bots against me and been banned, if I was doing the same the game would have been a draw but I was well beaten, as I can't be a 3800 rated Chess engine.
Instead, why don't you ask me how to improve or what you should be doing on the other thread, like openings, how to analyse a game etc, but you're probably not interested and would rather cry foul play to make yourself feel better. I usually charge £20 an hour for coaching but for you, £40 an hour, as I get the feeling I'll have to tell you everything twice
Incidentally Honcho was never banned, he can say he was banned but he wasn't, his profile has always been visible, you are banned when your profile has gone, read the other week that the Liverpool fan Pineapple for example has been banned, and his profile has gone.
Honcho went missing when he posted that thread in the politics forum as it seemingly made him look like he'd accidentally posted under the irisonone's name. Speaking of which, he was a bit of a saddo, spent every day on the politics forum making a flurry of Anti English comments all the while pretending to be living it up in Spain, yeah right.
Clarky9 is just an idiot who keeps trying to get my attention for the last few years, a la the latest Haaland thread, the other Clarke poster quickly posted on it, again, draw your own conclusions. Both are blocked anyway.
Kind Regards.

I can confirm
Even if Utd flop I’d still expect Bruno and Bryan to collect points. I toyed with having Shaw in my squad for £4.5m but wouldn’t have maguire if he was free!!!
Got to leave them in for Ipswich at home though, and with Bruno probably captain too IMO.
I haven't got Bruno but have the other two and Mbuemo is definitely a candidate for captaincy.

What did people see in Mbuemo last season that made them think he's be a good pick this season, this is what all those content creators were doing, picking those exact 3 and bench boosting, seems some people are just copying them.
Fernandes is still a good pick however and shouldn't be left out of anyone's team.
Kind Regards.

He scored a few points last year I think? He seemed to be scoring in the pre season friendlies too from the games I looked at.
The forward options this year seem like some of the weakest in memory.
The forward options this year seem like some of the weakest in memory.
I think people saw Mbuemo scoring lots of points last season which is generally a good reason to pick a player, particularly, and notwithstanding the poor result, with the favourable looking start.
If they persist with Tielemans he is going to be a big problem for Bruno, against Hull Tielemans played deeper where Bruno should have been with Bruno practically playing centre forward, both were completely ineffective, Bruno should be in that deeper role dictating play.
What did he average per game last season as a United forward player, 4 - 4.5pts? thereabouts, different position but Gabriel same price will outscore him again which he did last season by about 60pints, Bowen who was relegated average more pts.
Yep, can't be putting Gabriel in at that price either, too pricey.
I think he’s always been a midfielder on Fantasy. You’re comparing him to a defender and a forward. No idea how many points he scored. I bet you do though, Mes? If you’re right it’s about 20 points per million. Haaland £15.5 would equal 310 points. How many did he get?
Not sure if it right but I’ve seen 239 for Haaland last season? I’d rather get 150 from an £8m player than 240 for a 15m player.
He was the 32 highest scoring player last season, this season he's the joint 8th highest priced player, why, the guy is not even on pens.
It’s a shame he’s not on pens. Where did he rank in the midfield category?
Who is your starting midfield this week?
Who is your starting midfield this week?
Its only 1 week , people panic too much , Mbeumo and Fernandes in top 3 of transfers out for midfielders , top player out is gyokeres , but dont know why anyone would pick him at 7.5 , wont start enough games , Watkins in 10% of teams and he is off for the money .
emitedeb you mug

It's worth thinking of captaincy, too. Spread the funds can equal or beat his points, but you're actually getting double
I have been reliably informed 5th place in your mini league has 79pts not 69pts as listed above.
Automatic substitutions hadn’t been added.
Nice to see you keeping an eye on the league again though!

If you’ve got Haaland in your team at £15m then you’re almost obligated to captain him every week, Lurker.

I'm not, was given the message by poster not able to post.
Surely nobody’s wasting their time messaging you about something so trivial.
It’s nice to know we’ve got a few fanboys keeping an eye on the league!
Due to some opta data not being adjusted until after an hour after the match , the final update now takes place at 9am the day following the last match and not an hour after the last match , last season some early games had points adjusted hours or days after but the last game couldnt .
I think mes was going through the table with a fine tooth comb and noticing it thought he could give Emit a little dig in the ribs.
LoyalHoncho 85 points without a chip, amazing score. J.Pedro over Okafor would have been 95 but still
Mes can find any league. He somehow managed to find one we played for The Sun a few years ago.
Where would your teams be sitting.. yhtl, mes and Clarkey?
Days later, I'm still seething I swapped De Cuyper (17 points) for Kadiaglo (didn't play) last minute. Ah, the joys of FPL
You used to be able to search by manager , so could find the league from there .
I'm guessing mes is bottom half, or we'd all be aware by now...
Player in 1st on 131 , has played 4 seasons and has dropped out after a few weeks every time , won the weekly prize this time though .

I’ve found the picture but can’t decipher anything that’s written on there now.
I'm sitting tight this week.. No transfers, giving Richarlison one last game..
And that's why you don't go without Haaland.

They were pre-timed thoughts Kenbo. Advised you not to leave Haaland out and hide behind the sofa every week and not to leave Fernandes out.
I’ve got an active wildcard. I could have a shuffle around and get Fernandes in yet! Quite a few people have both. They’re the two most expensive players which often means the two most popular.
I think joao pedro became the most popular, but, haaland is back as most popular now,
they are in 69% of theams.
Bruno 46,szobozli 42,calafiori 41 Raya 38
Are next most popular

Barring Haaland and Bruno, the rest are all fairly affordable. Think pre season the top two strikers were priced £15.5 then £8m. Some drop.
Gonna be plenty of 100+ scoring teams this week. Anyone who has Haaland and Bruno and captained Bruno must’ve been regretting their decision after the City game.

Triple captain either and you'd be happy
I still don't have haaland.
I need to sell Bruno and isak to get haaland and cheap midfielder. (using 2 free transfers)
Isak got Ipswich next week, so it's a tight call. Haaland got Coventry. Bruno at Everton. Hmmm!

It's Ipswich at home, second game of the season, I think it's you who's shooting his load a bit too early. Kind Regards
We're not discussing the merit of United beating Ipswich I'm a United critic, scoring 5 against Ipswich should not detract from the shocking first half performance, but we're not discussing that we're discussing your premature ej0culation at the Mbuemo blank,you must have been mortified when he score and got his assist which made you look like a right t 1 t
I also notice the embryonic love affair with Haaland when it was only last season you were freely telling people that making him captain too often wasn't playing the game right and that they need to look further than the end of their noses.

Firstly you silly, overly sensitive tart, you've obviously been carrying that angst since last year, something I completely forgot that I had even said but it's obviously bothered you, why? who cares what an anonymous person says online, secondly what has me saying Haaland shouldn't be captain every week got to do with anything? I made Fernandes captain last week as I stated up above, so I'm being true to my word, I've said both should be in your team however and they should.
And I stand my Mbuemo thoughts, he is s***, think there are better options like Tzolis. Mbuemo may prove me wrong, but that what opinions are there for. I also told you a few months ago that my team last season was also s***, it was my worst ever season, so maybe you need to shed the image that I think I'm a FPL guru, I am good, but I also here to amuse myself in whatever way I feel like. If you chose to take anything I say too seriously than more fool you.

Who's being over sensitive now
It's simple, you wanted to give it the big un over Mbuemo, made a school boy error because you couldn't wait until the end of the game, you've got to expect a bit of push back if it all goes wrong, your answer should be, "Yep, fair enough"

Yeah right, you're answer should be, My name is Duffy the long suffering Man Unite fans and I take any criticism of my fantasy football credentials and decisions so incredibly seriously I will posts walls of text defending my honour so A.nonymous gambler doesn't think I'm a complete mug
Are people keeping an eye on Captain Caveman and Son in this mini league, if indeed it is his son and he's not go two teams for the price of one

I've used my FH instead of a wildcard, which I'll likely use next week.
Weird feeling with Haaland. Got him captain, but with the amount of people on TC, probably need him to do badly
Weird feeling with Haaland. Got him captain, but with the amount of people on TC, probably need him to do badly
It's an interesting week coming up, if you've only got Haaland as I do from City I'm leaning toward free hitting to get three City players in as only having Haaland on a triple captain doesn't seem enough against Coventry, problem with City's midfield is that it is going to become a minefield, they've now got Enzo and N'daiye incoming so it could be frustrating minutes wise as to who will play so I am looking at O'Reilly and Guehi and banking on a clean sheet and hope for something offensively from them.
Also I'd like to add another Liverpool player against Ipswich as well as adding Brighton, Brentford and Newcastle players and taking out Chelsea players.
