Fantasy Football Update

The Fantasy Football scores have now been updated. Merg now leads the table , Flip 2nd and Bungers has dropped to 3rd.

ILN is still rooted to the bottom of the table despite being the 2nd highest scorer this week. Let that be a lesson to the toon - a poor start is a bit of a fscker! ;)

I made the grave mistake of including a defender and keeper from Birmingham. Last season that worked quite well as they kept quite a few clean sheets.

Bit of a bugger when they let in a couple though. I'll have to have a tinker in a Ranieri stylee.

It's my first ever shot at FF. I based my team on a solid defence and i doubt Arsenal and Chelsea will let me down that much. Although the rest of my team is quite poor, apart from God that is. I knew Sol Campbell would be missing again at the w/e but i could'nt be @r53d to change as he will be back in a fortnight or so.

I like to have a bit more upfront (fnarr!) - as long as you don't leak too many goals and score/assist plenty you're laughing.

Now where have I heard that style of management before?

Anyway, i've got F(r)anny Jeffers who plays tonight against Southampton. If he gets a few tonight i could be top points scorer this week. Unlikely, but possible.

Merg : Regarding your tactics/team whatever, i could'nt seem to stretch my money that far to include all the things you mentioned.

I'm having dire goalie trouble...and that bloody Aston Villa defender is still injured...

But as they say it's a marathon not a sprint :D

Still seriously considering dumping me goalie...trouble is the standard of goalkeeping in the premiership is pretty dire...

You never know who Chelsea are gonna play ... I've already got two arsenal players..Dudek is eratic..my own team spurs are flattering to deceive a the moment I think...but Robinson is pretty handy...Mr Given was always my choice in newspaper ff...but aint he getting on a bit now...hehe...

I shall consult my bible...Championship manager 4 hehe...

Evening.
I still say we have the best goalie in the PL at Newcastle (2 slips in 3 years. Shame about the four useless fsckers in front of him. :)

Yeah it's getting the balance for 50m that's the hard bit. That's why I like to go for more upfront - you can spend a bit there and skimp a bit on defenders and usually will get decent haul of points.

But when your defenders have a shiter it looks bad. Didn't too badly for KK though so I'll stick with it. :)

Flip: The game seasons are only 4 or 5 weeks in the BBC game - so it is a bit of a sprint!

Shay's excellent still and his appearance rate is second too none but you wouldn't get too many clean sheets with him. :(
