good to go!

Fuckin hell what a terrible week. Replaced Defoe as captain because it said he was injured and wasn't going to play. Defoe scores twice. I put Yakubu as captain and the retard misses a penalty. 0 points for him and only 5 overall. Why did it say Defoe was injured?

The key is in trying to determine what the threshold they have set to cause a increase or decrease in price.

The NTI at which a player's price is increased by 0.1m looks to be around 20,000

There is a web site that is dedicated to fantasy football, there are a lot of statisticians on the site who have this down to a science, you may want to check it out

Thanks, I'll look into it when I get a chance. I knew that it had to do with transfers.

Terrible day for me today, down to 2nd. I'd be happy if I could stay there after tomorrow

That's fantasy football for ya'

He had a stomach upset, was a doubt. I don't trust what that site says about players. Look at BBC or something.

I will from now on. That cost me a serious amount of points.

SharkyMcShark · 31st August 2008, 06:48

Made a complete fucking killing so far this week

Big earners include

James - 13 points (nice save big man!)
Defoe - 16 points (brace and an assist, and 3 bonus points

)
Sagna - 6 points (played the 90 and clean sheet)

Still got Captain Kevin Darling - I mean Carvalho - Essein and Lennon to play this week too.

Cheers man. I'm going to need all the help I can get at this stage.

a_devil_inside · 31st August 2008, 11:29

Was Defoe credited to both goals or was Lurch given one?

Stephen Ireland and Darren Bent did me favours today. But it was still my worst week ever in Fantasy Football terms.

tyrone red · 2nd September 2008, 11:44

Tell me who has included Berbatov in their squad? At 9.2 million you cannot go wrong

711 · 2nd September 2008, 13:19

Me has. My first United player. And I also have a war-chest waiting for the mighty one's return. The rest of you are doomed, well you would be if I wasn't making extra transfers every night for 4pts each. I think I may have developed some sort of compulsive disorder, damn it.

kps88 · 3rd September 2008, 11:09

Berb is a real dilemma. On one hand if you dont put him in now his price will go up. But on the other hand our next two fixtures are typically low scoring.

Plus him starting both is not a sure thing either.

711 · 3rd September 2008, 12:08

If Berb is a puzzle the return of the mighty one could give you a heart attack - now forecast at 21st September!

kps88 · 3rd September 2008, 13:12

I have my wildcard ready for Ronaldo.

I would wait a while as he usually takes a few games to get into full form after an injury or break.

I have. Since about 23:50 on Monday evening

pathfinder · 4th September 2008, 18:15

What a nightmare.. me no longer on page 1. I had a big mouth, I sounded like a scouse. But I am no dummy cause I just bought Dimmi, 9.2 mil, what a thrill. So roll on Saturday 13th of September at 12.45 Berba's on my side. Come Monday, me back on page 1 with a big huge smile cause we beat the scouse scum.

Skelter · 9th September 2008, 13:50

I'm not doing well. The league is though!

The Redcafe 08/09 (Rank: 236 / 117,271)

Does this mean us bunch are the 236th most cleverest spectacular footballing brains in the land?

Paddy · 9th September 2008, 20:04

They only take the top 5/10 scores from your league. So its not 'us as a bunch' just the good people as a bunch I'm afraid

Damn, I won't be in there then.

Tony7 · 11th September 2008, 14:16

i joined like i did last year but i prefer the aol league alot more bargains to be had

ZIDANE · 14th September 2008, 02:07

I took Adebayor out of my team this week.

I knew he was due for a good week because it look like his team had been trying to get the ball to him more, last weekend.

I took the captaincy off him and give it to Owen thinking Newcastle would beat Hull and maybe Arsenal might struggle against Blackburn

Something like 56th, with 4 players to go.

I am going to be unstoppable this year.

What reserve team? The rules clearly state only one team, anything else is obviously cheating. Some people have even been stupid enough to use the same name.

charlenefan, please delete everyone with multiple teams.

711 · 14th September 2008, 14:02

Oooh, fuck-offs and yellow cards, I could be seriously fwightened.

I didn't realise cheating was allowed, but ok then, best of luck to you and your "reserves".

ooeat0meoo · 14th September 2008, 14:54

Dude,

It isn't cheating and it's only a fucking game, you twat.

See 'pm' for question.

CHA-CHING!!! Another assist by Arteta.

Bogus yellow for Arteta.

Paddy · 14th September 2008, 16:22

Pretty pleased with this week!

Arteta and Cole in double figures, and Adebayor as captain. Plus two Villa players for tomorrow night.

Jumped about 100 places in this league.
