Why doesn't the money I've got in "the bank" earn intrest? :evil:

You should get "rewarded" for going with a cheaper team, and then be able to use the money (plus a percentage 2% or 3%) at a later date

Statto, you are getting too hung up on stats... Relax. It's only a game.



Now, time to go and wreck someones FF team... Not fellow scouser Souness, maybe Brian or BM. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

If Scolari had paid more attention to the stats he may still have been in a job tonight :lol:

But it was -10C in Aberdeen at 07:00 this morning :yikes:

How many of your original Fantasy Team players have you still got left ???
Remember in August when we all started off with high hopes of taking the Barclays Fantasy League by storm !
Well,for all of us those hopes have well and truly gone but the likes of souness,bm and Brian still have the Udon League title to battle for.
But how many of your original squad have you still got ?
I've still got my two keepers,Cech(should have been Van der Saar,I know) and Kirkland plus Luke Young and Carragher in defence.Also I've still got Ronaldo,although he was my third sub for the first few weeks when I was a bit naive as to how the league worked.
None of my original strikers are left.I've tried many permutations without success.Only Torres was any good and he's been injured a lot.

I think the only player from my original squad is Rory Delap... Gerrard out Gerrard in. Given was original keeper but chopped and changed just about everybody. I have Gerrard and Carlton Cole now for the second time. Delap is the only player I haven't shuffled.

Van der Sar, Vidic, Alex & Arteta.

Problem has been strikers...... :(
Zaki.....well.... :(
Defoe...same...

So now I sign individual...yeah I know, but if my strikers get 2 points I think it is a success!!

Some high scores this time around with their being two extra games and lasted almost two weeks.
Pride of place to bm with his score of 83 which made significant inroads on souness' lead at the top.
His new boss Englebert Obama showing great motivational skills already :D
For me,back to my usual 6th despite scoring a reasonable 64.My Fulham players on the receiving end of a 3-0 beating at Old Trafford last night and Ronaldo didnt score.
But not all doom and gloom.....United 5 points clear at the top in the real world !

Well my signing of Evra back fired big time. Should have stuck with O'Shea who scored 15 points over two games, add the 4 points lost for extra transfer = 11 points lost. :(
Moral of the story. Never believe a word that Fergie utters. :^o

On the bright side, Robinho will make up for lack of recent points with a hat-trick this weekend. :-"

yeah not too shabby with 83 points...should of been more if berbatoffee had a goal allowed and fergie didn't replace him with Gooney who scored a few minutes later.. :(
onto this weekend...cole is out along with Gerrard...got a free transfer this week but not sure who or even if..

Galee you got your 70 you wanted, and Robinho is going to happen this week.. :lol: :lol:
and a bummer with the o'shea thing. and lets not forget fergie has sooo many stars at the moment anyone could be left out at a moments notice.

Rumour mill seems to be suggesting that Gerrard could be making an early comeback, but Cole will definately be out.
Alan Smith and Mark Viduka could be back this weekend ....... as if anyone could give a d***.
Week after next fixtures only has 16 teams, followed by another lot of "double bubble" for the following midweek games.
My new manager Mr Wayne Kerr came to have a chat about the injury crisis that the shirkers are suffering, and asked for permission to make an additional transfer. Had to tell him that times are hard ..... we have our Icelandic bankers skint, our Russian Oil Tycoons watching the roubles, and now our new backer Alan sandford has done a runner ....... add to that our shirts are being sponsored by a govt. owned bank, and he has to see that if he wants to bring someone new in, he will have to pay for it from his B250 a week salary.
He left mumbling something about there being a lot more injuries by the time he had finished, whatever that meant.

Newcastle did well to hold out for a point....a points a point better than none.
Of all the players to make captain I chose Van Persie (2pts). Bramble and Lampard both 9 and Schwarzer got 12.... AAAGGGHHHHHH!!! ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)
