Anyone know of any other good leagues? I've joined a load of Boards ones, the one for The Last Word and the Off The Ball one. Any other radio shows or the like that ye know of?

I picked my 15 players last week but completely forgot to pick my starting 11 or a captain so for all I know I have a best players on the bench and a captain who wont score anything. I just couldn't be bothered checking now.

frantic190

Think it was a mistake picking a Liverpool player...

wnolan1992

Sickened I chose Sinclair over Michu when putting together my team.

Rectified that situation for GW2 though, and if nothing else I'll be able to offload Michu for a tidy profit when all the bandwagoners like me drive his price up.

Pretty miserable start thought, only 8pts so far.

frantic190

10 points so far but only 3 of my players have played so far. Regret not putting Britton into my team cause it looks like he's gonna get a clean sheet.

I had michu

Only 13 points from the 4 that played today, but I still have Cech, Torres and Terry to play two games with Torres as captain, so plenty of time to turn it around.

Cruel Sun

Only 10 points out of 3 players, but my big players didn't play today.

HandsomeDivil

Have Nathan Dyer on my bench, grrrr

wnolan1992

Hoping Demba Ba could score...

wnolan1992

And Demba Ba Scores!

Up to 19 points from 5.

frantic190

Did so ridiculously bad today Only 3 points from 3 players. All my major players still to play but that's disappointing. One of my players managed to get sent off and concede goals so it dropped me 7 points

wnolan1992

I f*cking HATE this game.

Up to 37 points with Cech, Evra, Terry, Young and Torres(c)(for whatever good the useless bastid will do on Wednesday :mad:) still to play.

Poor you :P Some of us are still only on 21 points! :P

This is my fourth year doing FF.

I worked out last night that over the course of the past 3 seasons, I averaged 43pts/GW.

Now, if I can average 43/GW when I lose interest in mid-October, surely I can bring my average way up if I actually stick to it this year. :pac:

The good thing about having Torres is that nearly all your rivals will have him too because of the DGW, so if he does bad for you, he's doing bad for a lot of other people.

Unless he puts in a performance in his next two games, he'll be out of my team in GW3 for Rooney or RVP. He's just too inconsistent to build a team around.

wnolan1992

Alrighty, after a reasonably good start to the season (62pts), hoping to improve this week.

Have made one transfer, getting rid of Sinclair and jumping on the Michu bandwagon (which I did before the price rise ).

Also changed Captain, promoting McLean who did well last week, and has a home game against Reading.

I thought I did enough this week to steal first place. It's on like donkey kong Mr. Beegan :pac:

wnolan1992

I need Kagawa and Tevez to score big this week to offset the 8pt penalty I'll be taking at KO. :pac:

Ha! Probably safest, because if I chose either of Tevez and Kagawa, I would definitely choose the wrong one! It's just how it works :P


Also, Michu better do amazingly well this weekend because that's a bandwagon I went to loads of effort to jump on!

You might steal it yet this week. I had only 9 players playing last week and will have to make a chunk of subs before the GW kicks off this week as I have 5 players not playing(Reading and Chelsea). Minimum of 8 point hit I'd imagine (keeping Torres and Hazard benched to avoid price rises and selling the other 3).

Turns out I'll be taking a 12 point hit this week. Will probably be dropping out to 4th or so because of this.

Jesus, for a 12pt hit would you not have been as well off playing the WC?

(although I'm one to talk, I took an 8pt hit and am seriously considering bringing in Berbatov now that he's on his way to Fulham...)

Well, they were players I going to be getting rid of anyway; Harte, Pogrebnyak, Scott Sinclair; and said that I might as well get rid of them earlier rather than later. Was looking at Berbs myself, but will wait and see about match fitness this week.

ironictoaster

I can't see the majority of deadline signings to play too much this weekend.

Jackobyte

Even after my transfers, I've still ended up with at least 4 not playing. What is the West Bromwich manager playing at not playing Lukaku at all. Also, Clichy not playing and a chance that Nani may be left out with Valencia being favored.

wnolan1992

37 points, with Kagawa(c), Evra and Demba Ba still to play. Though it's really only 29pts once the transfer penalty is added.

Need Kagawa to get 12+ points tomorrow to make me not feel depressed for having changed him to captain over Tevez at the last minute...

Disaster with baines as captain

ironictoaster

Baines as captain plain suicide!

Tbh, I don't why people do not have a consistant goalscorer as captain, you'll get no where without one! Hazard, Tevez and RVP (especially after Rooney is out)

anirishlad

Suarez just fired me to the top

JamJamJamJam

I've been slacking on my managerial duties, and didn't change my captain or make any transfers or pay any attention at all to my team over the past few weeks... So I've earned myself a steady midtable place..!

flyswatter

I don't think I've ever had a worse start to this thing, bet I'll lose all interest in a month or two!

HandsomeDivil

Usually I last until Christmas or so before I lose interest but this year I haven't changed my team since the first week. Hmmph

wnolan1992

Not gonna lie, I lost interest after GW2. :pac:

Still managed to score 59 points this week though, and I'm 5th! :cool:

Gonna try and get back into it now, but I'm definitely not going to be as obsessively serious about it as I was in the first two weeks.

Jackobyte

My team has become an absolute disaster. Last week I had an extra 22 points on the bench and this week 2 of my 3 outward bound subs scored. Also, captaining Pienaar was a big mistake.

anirishlad

Yeaaa top of the league if anybody cares anymore :P

wnolan1992

I'm holding steady in 6th, which is excellent considering Kagawa and Terry have been in my team since September. :pac:

JamJamJamJam

My team is so out of date... Every week I put off changing it on about the Tuesday, and then forget until the games are already on!
