Bloodstock Forum Fantasy Premier League *NEW Season*

[CrappyMike]

yeah, seems they may have been last weeks dream team? when i last checked my team i think on wednesday all but 2 of them had the blue stars, went on yesterday i'd done shit

EDIT:nope, not even last weeks. im obviously losing it

EDITWITHINANEDIT: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/dreamteam/ this must be what i was seeing. have a fair few in here.

The overall dream team doesn't mean that much considering it doesn't account for how many weeks certain players have been injured, or even in the premier league (incoming transfers during august or jan), also there's no money or team limits on the dream team.

well obviously not as i had a terrible week

[CrappyMike]

costa didnt play so my captain got me 0 points, baines on the bench scored 15... i need to pay more attention to my team if i want to stay off the bottom spot i think.

although, from where i am at 24th up to 15th there is only 8 points in it. had i played baines i'd be around 15th but i can still move up a few places, all is not lost.

[Dobbydob]

temporarily top! Be interesting to see if i can hang on to that once the final game is over. Tadic + Pelle combo FTW this week!

[Jobdone]

Costa didn't play, which kinda screwed me.

Still, got Coleman coming in for 13 points, and Falcao/di Maria still to play so could still salvage this week.

Mannone

[Jobdone]

Top of BOA again by like a point, still 10 points behind top in the work league. Shit.

[Dobbydob]

i much prefer FF when its close in the leagues. Played one last year and the winner was top after the first few weeks by about 70pts, no-one could get close for the rest of the season and kind of made it boring.

This week has been just what i needed, managed to catchup up in all my leagues....and now just a point behind you Jobdone in BOA....roll on next week!! (where it will all probably turn to shit! LOL)

[Jobdone]

Yeah, I used to be in some ones where one guy would pick a good captain, and he'd be off an away within 5 weeks, never to be caught up again.

The random performances, and teams complete inability to keep a clean sheet, has made this season interesting in real life and FF.

[Bearstock]

Managed to get 56 points despite no Costa and Mannone in goal.


Mannone and Mata now taken out

I find keepers don't actually get loads of points, so even if they let in a bunch you don't overly get penalised. Much better to have a cheap keeper and spend the money on a better midfielder/forward I think.

[Danroush]

Got so many undoubtably strong players and they're all being bloody useless except Southampton players, they're doing insanely well atm

I tend to look for one who is a good shot stoppp;er and doesn't cost too much as I think they get points if they make ~"crucial saves2 or something like that.

Used to be Friedel but then they got wise and bumped his price up.

[Jobdone]

All the defenders are doing fairly shite this year. No one can seem to keep a clean sheet.

Except for the fucking beasty Southampton players. Looked at the table yesterday, didn't realise they'd only conceeded 5 so far this year.

[CrappyMike]

my 3 southampton defenders are paying off big time. the rest of my team is not doing so well but with those 3 and baines in i am moving up. not gonna win the league but i should finish higher than i did last year.

[CrappyMike]

still climbing. i may be as high as im going but if i keep scoring as well as i have the last few weeks i could creep up another place or two.
