JOIN THE BEST LEAGUE HERE - Fantasy Football 08/09

Depends on how good a season Ronaldo has really. If you wanted to have any chance last season, he had to be in your team really. Drogba is injured atm isn't he?
 
i got 54...it would have been 70+ if tevez had played and if we kept a clean sheet

oh well....
 
just decided to make a side

dono how all this shit works but it looks interesting. can someone care to explain the points system, cos i notice clichy only scored like 6 or so yet he was best afield on the weekend?
 
Sure thing Cesc.

All players get 2 points for playing 60 mins or more, and 1 point for any less. An assists is always worth 3 points as well regardless of which position that player who assisted plays.

Goalkeepers: Get 4 points for a clean sheet, and 1 extra point for every 3 saves.

Defenders: Get 4 points for clean sheets, and 6 for scoring a goal.

Midfielders: Get 5 points for scoring a goal.

Strikers: Get 4 points for scoring a goal.

At the end of the day, the website also awards bonus points for the 3 best players in each game, according to them. MOM gets 3 bonus points, next best 2 and 3rd best 1.

Oh and you can't have more than 3 players from each team.

Oooh this sounds tricky as, I absolutely love it.

It's going to take me forever to choose a side. No doubt this will chew up all my spare time, haha which isn't good since my AFL one has only two rounds left!

Cheers for the help mate!

When did you put him in your team? Did you miss the deadline for transfers, or is he on your bench and not in your starting eleven?

Well I'd have scored about 113 if I had picked Ashton, Deco, Lampard, Gallas, Carragher, Geovanni, & Agbonlahor.
 
:lol:

The fact you posted the question suggests you already know.

Hopefully you'll manage to challenge right to the end of this season. :p



No... seriously... I've been with my head stuck in my work, and every other second I've been cramming like a freshman undergrad, reading about footy... My brain feels like it's going to split wide open.

I haven't seen what your score is...

-----------------------------

Bahhhhhhhhh that's not a bad score for the first day. Mind you it's not the front page, lots of leg room n' pretty ladies n' all... but you're doing ok.

We'll keep the front page party going til' ya get here.;)
 
50 points for the first week...not bad, respectable, but not great.

66th currently in the Redcafe league - tough competition!!

Which is the tougher comp - the EPL or the Redcafe Fantasy Premier League? :-)
 
51 points, 58th in redcafe league. Had Essien and Berbatov in my team and forgot to take Fabregas out so not bad considering I only had 8 players.

Also had Mendes as a sub and he was sold to Rangers. Is it worth 4 points to make a transfer?
 
How many transfers do you lot usually make every week?

you get 1 free transfer in between gameweeks, with every additional transfer after that costing you 4 points.
 
I'm playing with 10 players, everybody else in injured, and still number 1 :D In both leagues :D
 
How do I use my wildcard folks?

Can I trade someone worth 4,5 for someone worth 10 or do I have to have enough cash to buy them? I always thought it was a "free signing" sort of thing, but FF won`t let me do it! And if I do use it, I get that player for the rest of the season right, not just one round?

I`m off to a terrible start by the way.

If you use the wild card it just means that you can make as many transfers in that one week as you like with out being penalized 4 points for each transfers over the free one.

You still have to stay within your budget and can only spend what you have.

The wild card allows you to revamp your team if you have had a bad start or have run into injuries or suspensions.

I have got off to a good start 123 points and 6th place in the league and I am waiting to use my wild card when Ronaldo is healthy to get him into my team.
 
fall off the perch?

PS. How do the player evaluations work. Do the prices fluctuate based on something?

Based on shitness I reckon.

Example: Darren Bent has been shite.

I now have a team value of: 99.9.

Reason: Darren Bent.

Thanks mate.

Seems I misunderstood it a bit.

I was thinking of saving it for Ronaldo too, but might go for Gerrard instead.

There is actually a complicated formula.

Player price rises occur when a set number of Net Transfers In (NTI) have occurred.

The NTI is determined from 'Transfers In minus Transfers Out', The FPL gives these Stats in a drop down menu.

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
