Your defense is ridiculously expensive
7.0...8.0...7.0...7.5

Meanwhile your midfield is 4.5...6.0...9.0...5.0

Stilyan or Martin? Ireland seems to be the only big point scorer in midfield, and it's not certain that Alex will always start. I would replace him with a cheaper certain 1st choice defender and upgrade Petrov or Neville in midfield.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but I just noticed that there's an 'emergency captain' option, based on either value or form. Great addition, there was no frustration like having your captain being rotated before CL games etc or getting crocked in the warm-up. Also, the latest changes:

---

Given

---

Evra--Carragher--Hangeland--Corluka--Cole

---

Valencia----Lampard---Arshavin

---

---

Cole----Ebanks-Blake

---

Subs: Hart, Larsson, De Jong, Creswell.

I'm thinking of bringing in Darren Bent for C.Cole if he moves to Sunderland. He finished high enough despite his rotation at Spurs last season, and he was a points machine when he was at Charlton.

3greenrizla's

any opinions are welcome.

.......................Schwarzer.........Sorensen

O'Shea.........Cole A.......Hughes......Terry......Figueroa

Carrick.......Kuyt.......Murphy......Arshavin (C).....Taylor

.............Crouch...........Beattie.........Doyle

I would have a few everton players in there but notice that they are not playing in gameweek 2 along with 5 other teams.

ccosgrave

Haven't really tried Fantasy Football much, but I'll give it a go this season. Any tips would be welcome. My biggest risk imo is putting both Lampard and Gerard in a team, as it certainly caused me to cut down a lot in defense and for the keeper, but they seem to be two players that will guarantee a few hundred points between them.

Sorenson

---

---O'Shea----Vidic----Hangeland----Cahill

---

Gerard (C)---Lampard---Neville

---Agbonlahor----Berbatov---Zamora


Subs: Hart, Mikel, Muamba, Bramble

I wouldn't have Cahille, Neville or Sorenson if I had my way, but they seem to be doing OK. I'll probably switch Neville for Anderson if Anderson starts getting a few goals or assists, but Neville does seem to be a decent source of points. Only problem is the price might go up in the meantime. I'd like another top-four defender in there too, just don't have the money for it (I can't image Mikel getting me much). I'm not sure about O'Shea either, as he won't get as much gametime this season with Brown back and Rafael developing. Gary Neville should be practically out of the picture at this stage though.

Can the organisers pm me the code for this league? I have a team already but would like to join this one too. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to say but this is one of the worst fantasy football teams i have seen, the only person in that team to win you good points is Arshavin

I dunno if this might work (it's a long shot!!!) but maybe, possibly, perhaps (again this is a longshot!!!) the code might possibly be in the first post of the thread.

Let me know how you get on cos as I've said, it's a long shot!

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has edged closer to Real Madrid after handing in a transfer request at Anfield, according to reports.
The Spain international has been at the centre of a long-running transfer saga as La Liga giants Madrid have made no secret of their desire to secure a deal.
Liverpool have refused to budge from an asking price for Alonso in the region of £30million, which has stalled any potential move to the Bernabeu.
But the Reds may now be prepared to allow the former Real Sociedad star to leave following accounts he has submitted a written transfer request to the club's hierarchy.
Speculation suggests a deal will be struck with Madrid within the next couple of days for a fee reported to be in the region of £25m.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has maintained he does not want to sell Alonso, but the midfielder is said to have been angered by his manager's apparent desire to sell in order to finance an unsuccessful pursuit of Gareth Barry last summer.

Who is going to take United's penos with Ronnie gone? Would it be Rooney?

Berba wasn't great at takling them at Spurs from what I remember.

Would you get many points for 5-4-1 formation

Good question. Probably Anderson, Scholes or Rooney I'd imagine. Wayne isnt the best either though

Quick question, I'm new to FF so bare with me

I have Alonso on my team and as we know he's more than likely fecking off to Madrid. What happens to me now?

Either the owner of the site will turn up at your house with a bunch of his cronies armed with baseball bats to teach you a lesson, or Alonso will be marked with an red injured sign, and will stay that way until you replace him. One or the other.

Just transfer him out if he leaves - you can modify your team as many times as you wish before the first gameweek starts.

Ok so reading the advice that points are picked up at the back and in the mid I made a few changes. Any advice appreciated.

I went with a decent backline, I could have made it stronger but I just love that 3 in the mid. The front isen't the strongest but I hope the back and mid will make up for this. Thoughts??

Your team seems fine.

I always find that setting up your team each season is a bit of pot luck. It always takes a couple of weeks to really see who's worth getting in or getting rid of.

All you can really do is try and strike a balance with your initial line up. You've seemed to have done that, just don't be afraid to make changes in the first couple of weeks and bring in form players. That's the biggest tip anyone can give in this game. BRING IN THE FORM PLAYERS. If a player has scored a goal in his last 2 games he'll more than likely score in his next game.

It all depends on how the season pans out.
If there's a forward that's banging in the goals week in week out and only costs 5.5m but one of your defenders is leaking goals and costs 7.5m do you need to be a quantum physicist to work out what to do?

It's the same for Torres, if he's having a cráp season you need to get rid of hid and adjust your team.

Although looking at your team, I'd personally get rid of Anderson.

I am going to bring in Arshavin after GW2. I'm tracking the progress of Zhirkov as well. If he is played on the left wing, then I'll replace Asley Cole with him.

Any suggestions on forwards for 4.5m who are likely to get a game most weeks?

Eire-Dearg

My up-and-coming website will have an epic two part Fantasy League "Who To Pick" guide. Some of you's might find it helpful.

I think it's pretty good but I wouldn't recommend a Schwarzer/Sorensen combo considering Fulham's second match with Blackburn will be scrapped assuming they progress in the Europa League (which they will barring a total collapse). That would mean you'd have to use Sorensen in goal away to Liverpool in Week 2.

Also I'd ditch Neville and Anderson as I'm not sure they'll gain many points.

Looks very good but for the reasons mentioned above I'd ditch Sorensen due to the fact Liverpool will almost certainly drub Stoke in week 2 which would leave you screwed.

seandugg wrote:

None of them look particularly appealing to me but I reckon Cameron Jerome has a chance of featuring in the first few games since Benitez is injured.

You think Folan will play more this season?
