Revealing...
Guardian Fantasy Football, the most realistic fantasy
football game on the web. It's completely free to enter and there's a
GBP50,000 prize fund to be won - including weekly and monthly prizes.

Guardian Fantasy Football offers unique team control and gameplay:
there are 10 different formations to choose from and the scoring
system is richer and more realistic too. Unlike most other fantasy
football games you don't just get points for goals, assists and clean
sheets but shots, saves, accurate crosses and more - which means what
happens on the pitch is more accurately reflected in your team's
points tally. You can also play against your mates or rival
supporters in a Friends' League.

To play, sign up and select a squad of 15 players from an overall
budget of GBP100m. Then it's just a case of using your managerial
acumen to select your starting XI and formation each week. What are
you waiting for?

team entered: Total cost £99.9m

thinking about making one change though GK

Seing as you get +2 for each save and only -1 per goal conceded would you not be much better off getting a GK from a team that might be considerd a relegation candidate i.e Carson at WBA might make 12 saves in a game but conceed 3 (+21!) while Cech might get 7 without conceeding(+14) as his defence let the opposition get less shots in. even if you factor in a clean sheet for both halves +2 x2 it only comes to +18 for Cech in this scenario meaning you are +3 better with the keeper who is busier but conceeds 3 goals more without a clean sheet.

Dont be at yourself

Probably will tweak it a bit, as I can't access the scoring rules at the moment, and If G. Neville isn't fit then it will be a straight swap with brown.

I'm liking the formation options, it makes your squad as a whole a lot more meaningful.

You don't actually need to send an invite. You just click on "Friends' Leagues" and enter the league name and password. I don't know if you want to post the password so I'll leave it to you.

im in the Justice league 2 - The Chocolate Monkey Men

Swapped Bouma for Woodgate too: means when friedel signs for Villa ill still only have 3 Villa players and sure if Woodgate gets injured ive a choice of Dossenna (depending on how much Rafa plays him) or Scarner on the bench.

now 100m spent as apposed to 99.9m
