Fantasy Premier League (The Real Football)
For those not into or unable to get into Fantasy Football, here is the cellar Fantasy Premier league. You can work this baby on stats alone, no knowledge of the game required :lol:
No maximum number of participants, season starts in two weeks, website is here:
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
league code is 530265-118330
ringers hitherto unknown on the Cellar will be booted ;)
well, of course I'm in. I have to admit I like espn league better though. it seems easier to use and you can change your formations to suit injuries and suspensions better.
My team at the moment is
howard
bozingwa
hangeland
gallas
upson
arshavin
fabregas
dempsey
nani
agbonlahor
tevez
i hate playing a 4-4-2 but there it is.
yay! lookout's looked in!
you don't have to play 4-4-2. that's just the default. just deselect the type you don't want and select what you do. You can't have ANY line-up, but there's more than just 4-4-2 .....unless they changed is from last year.
rules are you have to have at least 3 defenders and one forward. right now my line-up is 3-4-3. I go the math route ;)
Hey, wait just one second. This is soccer!
some might call it that.....
well, of course I'm in. I have to admit I like espn league better though. it seems easier to use and you can change your formations to suit injuries and suspensions better.
i'm just not that fancy. i work around injuries if i remember to check in, otherwise i just try to make sure my subs are in order...

beest is working in his team... i believe he may be going for the mathematical approach also, as he's having the same problem i did with too many Fulham players :lol:

Sagna
Hangeland
Upson
Duff
Arshavin
Essien
Fabregas
Milner
Agbonlahor
Tevez
well ur doin' it rite, apparently! :lol: who are the other two in the league? there's lookout, me and beest and two more. speak up!
Thought you might appreciate this.
Paul Whitehouse, as I'm sure you know.
Want to hear something sad?
When I've Sky+d something and am fastforwarding through the adverts, I will stop and play this one because it makes me laugh, and also reminds me of my bro, and exs, who supported lower table tems with great fervour.
Get on you janner!

don't know who the others are. i invited a couple of gents i've known for years who've lurked but been unwilling to descend into the cellar. they each say they did not join our league.
A terrible start for me, 31 points :(.
I seem to have a habit of building up from behind in fantasy leagues so theres some hope.:blush:
FC Obama ...fess up now or get deleted..... and the ronaldollies can consider themselves on a warning
ok last chance for all three of these. own up to being dwellars or be booted
Kourosh Akhavan
Barack Obama
Zee Welc
I'm #1! not for long, no doubt. What happened to your lot, lookout?
oops. I forgot to change my lineup and I had to players + my captain out injured. also 3 of my players are, predictably, Arsenal and they've played a game less due to CL. Oh well.
hehe -I played my transfer wild card :D
Not looking good for Adebayor, though..... but I already did my free transfer this week, and I was a financial rather than strategic move because it was free. now I may have to pay 4 to dump him if he gets the predicted three game ban
Probably a four game ban considering it is two charges. 1 for violent conduct, the other for inciting the crowd. You'll be able to buy him back cheaper after Christmas though. He'll be subbed out of a game or two and start his sulking again. the guy is the ultimate douche.
Oh, how the mighty are fallen :lol:
hmmm, looks like i have retaken top spot but this is actually a pretty close race so far. my other fantasy league is already looking like a blowout.
fabregas gave me a great week in fantasy land. more importantly he played the single most incredible game i've ever seen a central midfielder play for 90 complete minutes. 6-2 final score and 1 goal with 4 assists for the incredible cesc fabregas.
::waves white flag:: :lol:
looks like another good week for team lookout.:D
the monsters aren't doing too badly either, this week. It's a big gap to close, though
It's a long campaign. No worries. I have too much riding on the Arsenal attack to not have some stumbles along the way.
i have a cunning plan.....
does it involve a fluffy white cat and one meeeeeeeeee-llion dollars?
no. A small turnip.
.
Well, I made some moves today sacrificing 20 points in the process. The game ain't over.
you're killing us L123. i just paid for a shitload of transfers.... I'll get you my pretty....
