Ellmeister Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 So with the Premier League being just around the corner (6 days ) and the Community Shield on today, is anyone up for fantasy footy this year? Can't remember who won it last season (sorry :p) but it was a pretty big league so lets try and get that going again! :bouncy: League I've created: 642507-219747 I've put this in the main chit-chat for now so people can see it and it can be moved to the playground later.
Zell Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I plan on retaining my crown. (Will probably end up failing to do anywhere near as well as I did last year.)
dan-likes-trees Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Being an idiot / havent played ff for a couple years - which one are you using? official Barclays one? / was being an idiot, signed up now Edited August 12, 2012 by dan-likes-trees
Charlie Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 You could've made it easy for us and put a link in the first post... Now I don't know which one to sign up to!
bob Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I should probably say my team is 'Enter team name'.....i realised it doesn't have my username in it...
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I'm not sure if I'll bother with this. I enjoyed it for a while, but then Xpert11 took over, and I don't think I've checked my team since November!
-Dem0- Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I'd like to join up, but I don't know how. What's the league name? I also keep getting "Invalid league pin" when trying to enter the pin, any help?
ipaul Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 All about the fantasy league. Can people post their team names here just to make it easy to see who's who? Mine is FC Sugar Kane.
Zell Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 I'd like to join up, but I don't know how. What's the league name? I also keep getting "Invalid league pin" when trying to enter the pin, any help? Keep trying, it's usually pretty temperamental. You can join a league at any time so don't worry if it doesn't work for you before the start of the season. You may be on the wrong one though, we're using: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/ My team name is Obi One Kenobi Nil.
-Dem0- Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Ah man, I signed up to sky sports fantasy football. And I made a team I was happy about :/ Thanks @Zell EDIT: I'm in now. My Team name 'CescIsTheBest' Edited August 18, 2012 by -Dem0-
bob Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) When will they do the sub switching thingy? I've got like 14 points on my bench waiting to come on. They've warmed up and everything, trousers off and ready to go. EDIT: Realised that Chelsea and Reading have still got a game to play tonight which is counted in this gameweek. No idea why. Won't they be a game ahead for ages? EDITAGAIN: Apparently Chelsea are playing Athletic Madrid in the European Supercup on Friday. Ok. Edited August 22, 2012 by 130131301364
ipaul Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 This Chelsea-Reading match has really saved my week. Torres, Guthrie and Pog all scoring goals, thank goodness.
ipaul Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 So has anyone been keeping up with this much? I'm doing shite this season, my fall from grace has been worse than that of NUFC.
Ellmeister Posted December 8, 2012 Author Posted December 8, 2012 I was top very recently, but now it is all going downhill
bob Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 What the hell is going on this week! Apparently due to the FA cup and other fixtures, it's all going tits up. I've only got 5 players eligible this week - so i'm going to have some low low scores methinks. Just have to hope everyone else has the same problems. if not, maybe i can claw my way back when all my other players have double game weeks.
Ellmeister Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Everyone is having the same problem. I made two transfers and incurred a 4 point penalty but luckily I swapped in Bale so it was a good decision!
Ellmeister Posted May 19, 2013 Author Posted May 19, 2013 I think most people gave up on this. I kept it going and won I never win!
bob Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I tried and tried, but eventually gave up about 6 games from the end. All my players kept getting injured. Did a bit of rejigging for the last round though and ended up with one of my highest weekly point totals! Completely by luck! I only transferred in Nolan as i neede to use up some money. Left him on the bench and he got subbed in with 19 points! Also had Lukaku so i had both of the hat-trick scorers in my team this week. :/ Anywho, i wish i had kept going for longer (or was just better at it).
ipaul Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 The tragic thing is I was actually on this every week carefully making decisions and I finished slap bang in the middle at 7th. Bit of a let down compared to last year's debut season - second by only 20 points or so. I think we should try a bit harder to make this feel genuinely competitive next season rather than the wholly arbitrary affair that it has been
Zell Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Congratulations to Ell who won by a fair margin. I'm happy with my distant 2nd.
Ellmeister Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 Congratulations to Ell who won by a fair margin. I'm happy with my distant 2nd. I thought that was Platty considering his Kenobi avatar! The victory is even sweeter :p
Ramar Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 As per usual I forgot all about it. 10th place, not bad considering I stuck to my morals and didn't put cunt 1 and cunt 2 in my team.
