Fantasy Football - 2011/12

[SS4]

One Van Persie got me half of my points from Saturday's game

Anyone have the Yak as Captain?

Alas no

 

[blackettstreet]

i seem to have rapidly sunk down to 6th place.......reminds me of a certain team

some transfers would seem to be in order

 

[SS4]

Dammit! I was so close to getting Krul subbed in but no, Sorensen had to get injured :cry:

 

[Donny Dave]

Just quick update (league tables will be posted tomorrow).

November's manager of the month is ... (F.C. United of Leeds) who gained the grand total of 194 points for the month.

 

[SS4]

My strikers saved my sorry backside this gameweek getting me 46 out of my 61 points (after transfer deductions). If only I'd made Aguero my captain like my brother did but Van Persie wasn't a bad choice in the end

This man is on a roll with his second manager of the month award in a row, this time with a highly impressive 362 points. Top effort sir!

Typical, I play my January wildcard, and sign Yakabu :roll:

I did that too To be honest though I had to play it this weekend to get rid of a couple if under-performing players, two on ACON duties and one serving a long suspension. Adebayor's lack of goals recently is beginning to annoy me, he's the only decent forward I have!

I did that too

I played mine to shore up the defence since only my strikers are being consistent. I just hope that Newcastle can keep a clean sheet so I can salvage some points and continue my cup run

I've completely lost track of what is happening, so count me out. I'll just let my team accumulate what little they may be accumulating. If I end up last, no surprise there!

Are you Avon Thameside, the guy with Suarez in your team? As captain
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Ryan Taylor and Tim Krul manage to get more than everyone who played on Saturday put together bringing me from 15 to 32 points . With any luck one/both of them should get bonus points too

Your not the only person who had RVP as your captain this week! (Trouble is, my opponent in the Fantasy cup also had RVP as captain, so back to square 1 we go.)

Anyway, manager of the month award now ....

Yay - I'm still last. That's what happens when you don't bother trying

 

[SS4]

Manager of the month! Get in! Won't last though

 

[adtrainz]

Considering this is my first time (and that I haven't bothered with it for a few months) I think 19th is pretty good! Still, there's always next season...

 

[Ivo]

What odds are you offering for the Wooden Spoon? I'd like to place a £5 bet on myself please David

Also, if bb21 reads this, what odds are you offering on me failing to win the TPL? Even though Ive been top for a few weeks, another £5 bet on someone besides me to win that as well please!

Like I've said elsewhere... I'm a professional and world-class pessimist!

 

[SS4]

Manager of the month for March (hope I'm not stealing your thunder David :\)

1     1-0 up 2-1 down     Derek Heath     63     232
2     Scunny Ironmasters     David Perks     44     228
3     70's Rock             John Wilson     55     227
4     NUFC_Chris             Chris Davey     34     226
5     MANUFC                     Salman D     15     214
6     F.C. United of Leeds     ...     37     211

Yours truly is 19th. From 1st in February . Not even the Villa's form is that bad

 

[Donny Dave]

(hope I'm not stealing your thunder David :\)

No worries. The most shocking thing about that is that ... wasn't in the top 3 for March hock: Maybe there is still hope for the top 5 or 6 players to steal the title!

Mind you, a few dodgy decisions from me may stop me from winning. I dropped Ben Arfa to the subs bench the other week, only for him to get a goal and 2 assists, and with all my other midfielders and strikers player, couldn't get him in.

I topped that this week by dropping Sessegnon to the bench and replacing him with Ben Arfa, only for the former to get a couple of assists.

Oh, and I think I have the wrong striker from newcastle as well :roll:

 

[SS4]

So which of you lucky sods had Aguero as captain yesterday? My brother did

 

[blackettstreet]

if a player doesn't have a game in the next 'gameweek' can they not score points?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

They cannot; but over the course of a season they even out so you never miss out (e.g. some gameweeks have 11 matches).

ah right, thanks guess i'm at a disadvantage right now with cabaye and cissé

Not really, I think everyone is in the same boat, I have Ben Arfa, Taylor and Cissé from Newcastle
Overall I have six players out

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I've only got six available!
