my kit = black everywhere (with white stripes on the socks).

3. Carragher
4. Nelsen
5. Evra
6. Mascherano
7. Parker
8. Modric

I'm guessing you're an Arsenal supporter?

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

oh no, not at all. just happen to have one current and a couple of ex gunners (adebayor & schwarzer) in the squad. i was thinking about putting fabregas, arshavin & v. persie in the squad as well, but prefer to have one or two lumberjacks on the midfield.

only tried (and succeeded) not to put any chelsea players in the squad  neutral


I'm a Feyenoord supporter btw, but my passion is still with UK football (league 1 up to the conference, played too much Ch.Manager as a kid)

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

oh, ok. total mistake.

regarding chelsea players, i imagine lampard and essien will both get loads of points...

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

Yes, it would be good if a few more robots or robettes signed up. I think the deadline to join is tomorrow.

I completely changed my team around! Oops I hope it works out, having second thoughts now about the whole thing.. I did it after reading the expected team sheets on the
Guardian, they better be right about whos playing. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/series/squad-sheets

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

I found some time to create a squad, but I noticed the deadline for week 1 was 11h30 today sad

anyhow, joined the R4R group (> The Blade Runners)

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

You can catch up, dont worry.

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

I had no idea Wayne Bridge wouldn't even be in the City squad for their first game... looks like I need to make some changes...

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

made a few changes to the squad.. not happy with some of yesterdays performances. hope i can leave the team alone for a couple of weeks.

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

* i dropped richards (clean sheet) to put zamora up front in a 3-4-3 - zamora didn't score

* i dropped fabregas (injury) for my sub midfielder lucas - who didn't play

* schwarzer was injured so foster replaced him... and conceded two goals

* none of my players scored - and ashley young missed an open goal

but apart from that, a great week.

13. Higginbotham

15. Agbonlahor

the changes i made earlier this week:

- Evra out for Van Damme, Higginbotham as first left back.

- Bale out for Dyer, although Bale did look good in the first match.

- Mascherano out for de Jong. € issue, had to pay for torres and gerrard.

- Parker out for Gerrard.

- Giggs out for Duff, since Duff will prob. play a lot more than old Giggsie

- and Adebayor OUT for el nino


- Owen, Fellaini, van Damme on the bench instead of Higginbotham, Bale and Agbonlahor.


Think it's a descent enough squad for the next few weeks at least. curious what tonight will bring us.

Re: Fantasy Football - English Premier League

Oof, big changes from Zubeldia...

I'm in two minds about getting Stephen Ireland in, now he's more likely to get some minutes

Otherwise, I'm gonna stick with what I've got.
