The one that I created is full, I'm sure there's enough interest for at least 2 or 3 more though.

Mr. Incognito

Given

Hughes Hangeland Rafael Kompany

Maxi Nzogbia Murphy

Drogba Van Persie Rooney

Crap subs but who cares :D

82dgolf

Head to Head League. code 117-27030 Max players 30.

Are you tough enough?

breadmonkey

Dunno........if related to Given being selected alot it is due to Given going to Villa

Munster Magic

just set up another head to head league

code: 53948-27323

Cantona's Collars

Anybody have problems with firefox on the site? I ended up using Chrome to set up my team.
Darren Bent scored 2 tonight and Rooney got a hat trick against Seattle,hard to guess the future based on preseason but it bodes well.

Backstreet Moyes

Given

Luiz Huth Enrique

Jarvis Brunt Nzogbia Bale

Ba Rooney Van Persie

Subs. Al Habsi, Kevin Foley, Roger Johnson, Elmohamady.

Went for a strong strike force and solid backline. What do people reckon Roger Jonhnsen or Enrique. Tough call i think unsure which i will start.

busyliving

Hey guys since I messed up the H2H league I'm either going to booth out 20 people or just delete the league and start over...

There are 40 in the league in total so there is enough for 2 leagues

daithijjj

Anyone know the story with why im already in leagues for 11/12 that i havent registered for. Namely the bpf league and totalfpl.com league. Anyone else auto entered?, do these leagues even exist yet?. Suspicious the site hasnt been ironed out fully yet.

Whoever owns those leagues just reactivated them...You are then put back into them by default unless you leave

Thanks.

So those leagues will be the actual official ones for this season? no new codes?.

Id imagine theres plenty here in these leagues, are people just leaving it as is?

AstonMartin

Who is the best 4.5 or cheaper defender?

oshea?

suarez or carroll?

huth or shawcross?

I'd go with whoever is the cheaper option on all of the above.

I've no idea about Torres or Drogba though but correctly predicting where Chelsea's goals will come from in the first few matches will be important.

Thoughts?

I'm actually pretty happy with this so far, I made the mistake last year of picking a lot of players who I thought would be awesome and massively flopped, leading me to playing my Wildcard after the first game...

This year my only major gambles are Taarabt and Holt, both of which should at least play 90 mins.

dahat

Taarabat is highly likely to be sold imo......had considered him but PSG came calling!

I did the same. Doesnt matter when you play it as long as you make the right decisions. I finished comfortably in the top 100 of boards, but for a shocking November would have got into top 10.

Love the old tinkering before the season, probably tried 60 players and all the formations already (private money league and bragging rights requires such stupidity :pac:).

I have to say, i dont get the Kompany love.

If they were set up officially last year then yes they will be the same ones renewed. It is up to the person who created the league to renew.

Kompany wasn't very appreciative of daithijjj's advances. When he says he doesn't get the love, he actually means he didn't get love from Kompany himself.

Ahhhh, did he remember that lilies are Vincent's favourite, and not roses?

He had an excellent season last season and he averaged just over 2.5 points per game last year. 25 defenders were better fantasy picks. Will that do?

Hughes/Distin/Skrtel out scored him by about .8 per game.

He was classed as a midfielder last year though, so instead of getting 4 points for a clean sheet, he only got one.

This

If you add another 3 points for every clean sheet City kept last year onto Kompany's score, and he's suddenly up there between Huth and Vidic. He ranks highly in the EA Index thingy too, so he should see more BPs this season too.

massdebater

Yep and 18 clean sheets is 54 extra points and he was second highest defender on the EA Player Performance Index. 6m for Kompany this year is an absolute steal

That's the reason he is staying in my team.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Kompany at 6.0 looks like a must have tbh.

Anyways, draft numéro 3...... I know investing in a good defence won't win me any leagues but at the start I hope to just keep pace, then I'll make my move;)

daithijjj

I totally ignored City players last year apart from Hart/Tevez who i had all year. What was Kolarov classed as last year?, seem to remember he caused a bit of a buzz on here at the start last year before any ball was kicked.

Anyone takin a punt on him? if he plays he would be almost left wing forward going by where he played second half of the season.

A defender. He caused a buzz because he takes corners and free kicks. He has a lethal left foot and not afraid to use it. Clichy has probably shifted him this year though.

I like it - good distribution of funds around the starting XI means you can bring in hot players/get rid of duds easily without having to do major surgery. Personally not sure about Torres, and obviously Fab may be gone, but generally I like it

Yea Torres is a bit of a hit and hope! Forgot aboout Suarez missing the first two games, gonna transfer him out for Hernandez or Bent, not sure which yet..

Hey lads,

What is your opinions on defenders, I'm thinking about taking the approach of not spending more than 6million on a defender...

Also I've Phil Jones in my team, I think he'll play next season in defence and midfield for utd...Anyone have any opinions on Jones?

Ferguson said the other day that Jones will be a regular but I don't see him getting >60 every week.
