I'm incredibly versatile, I could be on top or on the bottom, I'd still complain.

Lads! Lads! This is a FOOTBALL fantasy thread.

"I think i was a bad person before. Before this time. I do not try to be good now but i am not bad. Perhaps if i try harder i may get a better hand dealt next time? But surely that makes it pointless? Perhaps i am good. Just good at being pointless. But that would make me bad. Bad at having a point. Ah…. I see now. I was nothing before, I am nothing now. I am bad purely because im pointless. "

So what exactly is the deadline for transfers each week? Is it midnight on Thursdays or something?

Don't fuck with the Culture.

Yes Yellow, the lusty one is right. Its usually about 11:30. But when you sign in it will tell you the game week and the deadline each week.

There's no way you could fail to blush attractively, you handsome devil. Also I should probably mention; I like being in front of you on the table, er...in the table, in the malaz fantasy football table. Although I wouldn't begrudge you if it were the other way around, that is you being infront of me.

For once the majority of my team are playing on Saturday, this is a rarety.

Real men/and women (let us not forget Mez) play their wild card in the second week!

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

I stocked up on AV players this week, the max 3: Ablongahor(sp), Carew, and one of their midfielders.

Agbonlahor

Close enough!!

Villa players are normally consistant points scorers. Carew, Agbonlahor, Ashley Young, Barry, Laursen, Freidel... all good selections really.

I was looking at my team selection today, and i realised i have no understanding of how the points work to try and improve things. I had already gone for several Villa players though, which is how i managed to do anything at all last week. Plus my opinion of players often prevents me from picking them, rather than whether they are good fantasy players or not. Like I couldn't ever bring myself to pick Rio Ferdinand or Ashley Cole since they are both tits.

I'm still undecided as to whether to get rid of Robbie Keane or not, since I put him in when he was a Spurs player, and forgot to transfer him after he moved to Liverpool. Don't want to have 2 strikers from the same team really but i may give it a few weeks to see how it works out (plus i'm afraid of the 3 R's, Rafa's Regular Rotation). I should get the hang of things in a few weeks, by which time i'll be well out of the running.

Read the rules at that site BoF, they have the scoring system in detail there.

Cheers Hoosier,
I know they do, and i had a quick look earlier today, but I know it hasn't really sunk in yet. I'll eventually get a better feeling for it, and that's probably when i'll unleash the wildcard for a radical overhaul of my squad. But without playing before, i just went for 4-4-2 and players i thought would play each position rather than going for the ideal points scorers and using formations to best gain points.

I guess 44 is better than 34... maybe Valencia will get a hat-trick tomorrow... maybe...

Flying Monkeys definitely win.

You never know

I believe I've actually got the second-highest score today... not bad, considering I thought I had achieved MEGA-FAIL. Still got a few players for tomorrow too

Well, I've moved up in the table some and still have Cech, Deco, and Evra to play this week... so maybe I'm not as done as I thought I was yet. Hopefully.
