SUFU Fantasy Football (Soccer) 2008/09

[LaiShin]

That is hardcore. I pick 1 or 2 matches to watch and get the rest of my fix on BBC's MOTD. Can't wait for Chelsea v Spurs....If Spurs hasn't signed any1 by then, i'll expect a demolition.

[polishmike]

Yeah, I have an addiction. I also watch most of Spanish, German and Polish league matches. MOTD is good but most of the pundits are muppets.

I still hope Berbatov won't go to the scum or if he does than maybe he'll have a bad season (which probably won't happen). I have no clue who Spurs will sign but I have a feeling it will be someone who already plays in epl. They played well against Sunderland but they have to stay more focused. Fuck, they let Cisse score a header. The will have a horrendous time at the bridge.

[LaiShin]

You definitely have more than 24h per day on your clock!

Berba's only option is really only ManUtd atm. He pulled the trigger with Ramos. No other teams seems to be competing for him.

Spurs doesn't have any1 upfront to hold the ball. Quality midfield, but if there's no front men to play the ball off...........Playing players out of position didn't help either.

Ok so there's clearly and abundance of Spurs LOVE here... but man what about DECO... did anyone see him working out so well IMMEDIATELY? Ok he had things working for him but still... STILL..... time to get excited about the boys in blue after what may have been called a great year last seasonI really never liked 'us' last season...

and even though I hate myself a little for still lovin the boys in blue after thaaat guy bought us out... it did make it all more interesting.....

I finally got to see the villa game... wow... talk about an offensive minded team! Yeah porous in the back but mighty fun to watch 'em move forward... the Suns of the EPL!?! hahaha or maybe the Warriors...?

[fatchino]

All basketball references are lost on me.

Does anyone else think ricardo fuller doesn't have the skill for that touch and that it was just a fluke?

[LaiShin]

I for one, wasn't convinced that Deco would fit in right away. Don't think he'll flop like Veron, but I was expecting him to take some time. Good on him. I have always rated him.

had to watch fuller's flick a couple of times. His finishing was the icing on the cake, Still undecided on whether it's a fluke though. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as he's friends with Usain Bolt Tuncay's flick was equally impressive if not more...definitely better than Fuller's.

[polishmike]

Tuncay's was much better (also against a better defender).

I'm still not convinced about Chelsea. Wigan really held them and they looked very beatable. Free-kick was class but that's expected from a player like Deco, it's not the first time he did it. If he stays healthy he can be a real difference maker for them.

[cyberPUNK]

i hope deco gets hit by a car.

[LaiShin]

"Gerrard will miss Liverpool's trip to Aston Villa on Sunday, the England games with Andorra and Croatia and possibly the Reds' home league game with Manchester United on September 13."

heads-up for those with Gerrard

[polishmike]

he will have the surgery tomorrow. 10-15 days, i have a feeling he'll be back for united.

[fatchino]

This is getting too friendly .. think of the money.

^ hahahahahahahahaha someone skint?

Can someone explain this in another way - THANKS

Phases

Each league is run on a monthly and season basis allowing managers to aim for a manager of the month title even when the overall championship is beyond them.

Any transfer point deductions in the Gameweek before a phase starts won't be deducted from the phase score. For example, any transfers made in Gameweek 6 (preparing for Gameweek 7) won't be deducted from the October score.

[fatchino]

1) if you're too far behind on the overall prize you can still win the prize for the month. ie the manager with the most points at the end of the month wins a prizes regards of their overall score.

2) if you make a transfer after the transfer deadline it won't take points off you until the next week ... makes sense cos the new player won't go into your team until next week anyway ... think the transfer deadline is 11.30 am on saturday mornings (UK).

[polishmike]

This is getting too friendly .. think of the money.

whoever doesn't know that gerrard is out has no fucking chance of winning the league. i mean you have to live under the rock or up abramovich's ass to miss news like that.

[chantheman]

i know someone else wants to play fantasy football...we need one more player PLEASEEEEEEEE

[fatchino]

PLease stop hijacking our thread ... retaliation sent in response ... plus you can't have worse number than ours ...

[chantheman]

sorry it was a last ditch effort to get one more person to join before our draft that was suppose to be this evening but since we had an odd number of people, i ended up dropping out of the league to make it even.

i was desperate to find one more person interested in fantasy sports.

[fatchino]

Please see original fantasy football thread for further deets

gotta even-up the playing field a bit;)

[fatchino]

oh i just played my wildcard ... only game weeks 3.

Is the equivalent to premature ejaculation?

[polishmike]

i never found the wildcard that significant. i took a 12 point hit this week but i had to chnge some players. still didnt pick up deco, this one goal in every game has to end but he'll probably put in two against the spurs.

[LaiShin]

yea, wildcard is overrated. There isn't a big difference in using wildcard now or later, unless your strategy is to increase team value -> wildcard.

[fatchino]

Back this weekend ... wash the memory of one of the most overrated teams of all time being beaten by the most overrated team of all time from my mind ... (4)

78 your chum still ok to pay?

[78]

^ yeah will sort that by midweek
