Fantasy premier league Thread

Drag00n79

The Fantasy Premier League competition is up on the FA Premier League site for the new season. I have set up a boards.ie league. If you wish to join, use the following code:18487-3993

If you've not done this before, it is free and a good laugh.

Now back to selecting my Invincible XI

jank

Done and dusted. We should sticky this.

Villain

Is it not a bit early to do a team, as I'd expect a few more signings before the season starts??

DamoRed

You can chop and change at will, with no problems, until the season starts. The first deadline will be 11-30 on the day of kick off.

Until then, you can have all sorts of fun.

Ah ya forgot that DamoRed, cheers.

An American tycoon bought Scarborough for 10c and renamed the team, The No-Hopers.
Will be looking to improve on 98th place I got last year.

Mad Gooners are back in !!!

Why isn't there a full selection of players to chose from?

_blank_

Ah there is.

You have to use the filters they have.

Select Goalkeepers, then use the Price Range, or whatever, to see the players available.

My team is "Am I Evil"

Thanks for setting that up Shamrok.

This should deffo be a sticky.

There are some brilliant bargains to be had.

qwertyup

The Mighty Ducks have enlisted.

Chances of improving on last year's dismal display... slim to nil!

mike65

Are there prizes??

Mike.

Brian017

Take a print screen of your team, paste into MSPaint or some other thing like that, crop the image so all you can see is the team and save as a jpeg or something, then upload to somewhere that hosts images, then link from here.

Nice team, but Midfield is lacking something, but thats the Sacrifice you have to make to have Henry in.

Why is there so little players available? Half the players I see in other people's teams aren't available to select for me.

necromomicon, there seems to be a bit of an issue when you select the dropdown list, select a club then click on midfielders or defenders and they should all show up.

victory will be mine!

Cool, thanks.

good team .... eh ? eh ?

StickyMcGinty

woops... forgot to attach a screenie!

what you think?? might have to loose crouch, depends on whether he starts or not in the games close to preseason!

Villain

VinnyL, I'm not sure if Delaney will get his game this season, Hughes had a good first pre-season game and Cruz also played but Delaney was injured, If I was picking a Villa defender I'd go with Mellberg or Samuel. Just an FYI.

StickyMcGinty

i had melburg and delaney last year and they served me well, maybe i'll switch him. i only picked him outta loyalty, he was a legend last year!

Cheers for the tip irish1

Well I'd change your GK situation for a start. Cech is way too expensive. Take Friedel for example, he was only 22 points behind him last year, you can get him for 2 million cheaper. And then to have Van der Sar as a substitute keeper for 6 million is just madness.

You could get Kiely and Friedel for a combined cost of 9.5 million. That's great value considering they finished in the top 5 last year and you'd save 3.5 million to spend elsewhere.

And be wise who you use for your captain. You need to pick a goalscorer and someone that gets their game every week as you get double points. Robben or Defoe would be a much better choice.

Just a couple of suggestions.

Watch out for TheTeamRomarioBuilt! He're is hoping my No Henry gamble will pay off!

I wish I could fit in Henry, but I think the combined scores of Crespo + Sheringham, and the added bonus of a stronger subs bench will have to do

1: Cech
