kinaldo

This really separates the men from the boys. It certainly showed up my lack of footballing knowledge outside the Premiership, La Liga and Serie A.

A bit like most Irish and English pundits...

Trippie

I set up a league called Boards and the code is 52153-10015

Mr Alan

i'll join when i get home too, definately do ****e in it though i reckon, damn my sky/PL loving ways!!!!

Skittlebrau

Done and done.

I'm overdosing on Dream Teams this year. I've got 12 on the go now. My productivity in work has dropped to zero I reckon.

Necronomicon

Joined, but just auto-completed for the time being.

Trippie

Just a reminder that this kicks off tomorrow for anyone who hasnt gotten their team sorted yet.

jameshayes

Just joined... just realised how little I knew about some european teams!

Necronomicon

Cech

Oddo
Agger
Nesta
Miguel, my only sub of note

C.Ronaldo
Essien
Castillo
Fabregas

Van Nistelrooy
Kanoute
Kerzhakov

---

Edit: Made a couple of changes. I wanted Kanoute instead of Kone, but then I couldn't afford Mancini so I put in Kerzhakov. I'm not 100% sure what Seville's first choice two are, but Kerzhakov is pretty cheap and he's been amongst the goals lately in La Liga. I also swapped Abidal and Silva for Miguel and Fabregas.

Trippie

i must have changed my team about 25 times since the last time i posted it anyway here is the new one, subject to change over the next day.

Iv gone for a 3-4-3 but im still not 100% about a few of the people on the team, I happy enough with my strikers and my midfield although i may change castillo

Champions league is on sky sports, whats your point?


Thats not a bad team considering all the teams will be expecting to get to the knockouts.


kdjac

Zapp Brannigan

Right joined!

My team (not bothered bout the subs!)
Boruc
D. Alves Albiol Fucile
Adriano C. Ronaldo Gerrard (c) Quaresma Nakamura
Van Nistelrooy Morientes

Alves hopefully will get some nice assists, Fucile always looks handy when I see him play. And my midfield should rake me in a nice amount of points. Was gonna buy Kaka as I had him last year and he was great but at 12 I couldn't get him

EDIT: Feck it, C. Ronaldo out, some random 6.5 guy out, some random 5mil in and Mr. Kaka now graces my midfield!

~Rebel~

I decided to go with the old 4-3-3

---

Reina
Zanetti--Nesta--Albiol--Abidal
Jesus Navas--Kaka--Malouda
---Torres--RVN--Kanoute

Plus the cheapest subs money could buy. Slavia's keeper cernea or something, and Yussuf. The other 2 are randomers who may or may not even play.

Skittlebrau

4-4-2 for me.

---

Canizares

---

Cannavaro

---

Carragher----Finnan----Vidic
Kaka

---

Essien

---

Gattuso

---

Sneijder

---

Morientes

---

Messi

Subs - Zapata (Gk), Konstantinou, Yussuf, Caldwell


Subs are cheap as chips but at least they should play.

Just noticed that! Is the celebrity manager just someone picked at random?

Looks like the celeb manager is the legendary Lomana Lua-Lua of Olympi*kos. I'm sure that it gets rotated each matchday though.

KevIRL

41 points for me after the 1st day Second in the league.

But for a poor capt choice (Snjider) Id be well above the 50 already.

Trippie

poor day for me only 9 points, but 7 people to play today and most of them should score some decent points so hopefully i should move up the rankings

Necronomicon

31 points with 4 to play tonight, my gamble on Castillo didn't work out, I thought he'd start after all the money spent on him

KdjaCL

I eh forgot to join the league and its saying i cant now


67 points so far.

Yea whats the deal with that,

Ok so ive missed out on this weeks points cause i didnt register in time but I reckon i can still win!!!!!

Necronomicon

It's odd, I'm sure there were late arrivals last season.

55 so far, but they have Fabregas down for 1 assist and I heard he got 2, so have to see if that changes.

Got 8 out of 10 targets, I really like that feature.

Ireland is 6th in the world rankings!

antod

yeah anyone should be still able to join the league, tripple set
up the league so its up to him close the league or open it
again for more to join.

Trippie

its set to allow new entries anyway a half decent day for me getting over 35 points however im still not happy with my team and since changes to your team only cost 2 points it is a lot more forgiving than the premier league one so i may a few changes

~Rebel~

Terrible Day 1 for me anyway, a grand total of 30 points over the 2 match days!

Woeful stuff. As Trippie said changes are cheap so i made 3! Sneijder out for Fabregas, Morientes out for RVN and Zanetti out for Sagna! Hoping the 2 arsenal lads can really pick up the points now with 3 easy games ahead (as easy as they get in Europe anyway with Steaua and Slavia.

leninbenjamin

ah crap. i completely forgot to update my starting lineup for injuries that emerged since i made the team. oh well.... got in the low 30s.

pd101

How many targets did everyone get. I got 7/10.:)

Well played!

Myself, I met 6 of the targets. I fell down on "Be creative", "Goals", "Clean Sheets" and "Star Players".

I reckon its mostly my midfield that let me down there - a couple of them are set-piece takers, so assists and goals were expected. Alas

eirebhoy

My 2 strikers saved me. Totti is a fantasy football must.

8/10
Joint top too

PHB

Stupid liverpool with their stupid defending and stupid Puyol for not playing
49 points though, ain't too shabby. I've decided to take out Kaka for Ronaldinho. Kaka will perform when it's needed for Milan, but I think he won't do so great in the group stages. Ronaldinho I think could do very well this CL.

I got 6

Necronomicon

Transfers only cost 2?? Excellent, I kinda need to make one or two. Agger out for 6 bloody weeks, as well as Castillo looking like a poor purchase, wish I'd been more informed before buying him.

DerekD Goldfish

3rd place not to bad a start

Trippie

My gamble of changing a few players paid off as i have 53 points already this week still with 5 to play. up to third and hoping for another few points tonight

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Sweet Jebus Benayoun got 25 points! Anyone have him as captain?:D

PHB

I can't begin to express how pissed off I am at Finnan not playing or Carragher not getting anything but a clean sheet.
Also Cech doesn't get a clean sheet cause he came off at the 46th minute. That's bs
