A tip, don't pick any *Chelsea* players coz their rotation system will kill your final points tally

I would agree, although I think Cech, Terry and Lampard will start every game if fit. However, putting all three in your team means you don't have a great deal to spend on the rest of the squad. The squad rotation is more of a problem with Man U players, even Rooney will end up on the bench sometimes.

They were the first 3 I selected and I soon found out I couldn't afford Lampard.
I can't believe how much the prices have risen. I don't think I could buy my squad from last year for less than 115 mill.

Keep in mind that to win the ajarn league last year the average return per game was 55 points!!
Cech total 178p
Henry 231 double these as he was cap
Terry 196
Lampard 269
Pires 174
Riise 160
Duff 159
Hasselbaink1152

for a total of 1591 or 42 points a game.
cost for this lot is 63.5
leaving 4.2 mill for each of the 8 remaining players.
But will they get a game?

Bobby · 20-07-2005, 04:55 PM

Well I hope this was an open invitation 'cos Bobby's Bulldogs have just become the 4th entrant.

I couldn't justify Henry's cost, so I'm banking on a fully-fit RVN flourishing alongside Shrek.

Mind you if last season is anything to go by, everyone I select will face a season blighted by injury. If you've selected RVN, Terry, Hyypia or Gerard, you may wish to sub them now.

poolcleaner · 20-07-2005, 08:16 PM

Most welcome Bobby.

If you did pick Henry and he got injured early it's doubtful whether you'd be able to buy him back.

Ruud and Rooney eh?

I recommend Cech in goal as he's only 1 mill more than the next best and Chelsea have got to be most likely to keep the most clean sheets again. He's one of the rare good buys at this stage.

Who will be this years Andy Johnson?
Cheap but and scores 20!

*Dedicated to Arthur*

Well, they're back in from swilling beer at the MCC, and all need some intensive training to get the lard off. A poor season methinks.

Added after 54 minutes:

OK, here are the useless wankers.

1: Martyn
2: Clapham
3: Purse
4: Matteo
5: Lampard (C)
6: Pires
7: Wright-Phillips
8: Zenden
9: Crouch
10: Bent
11: Keane

Subs
12: Poom (Goalkeeper)
13: Thatcher (Defender)
14: Carsley (Midfielder)
15: Jensen N (Defender)

Arthur Sixpence · 21-07-2005, 11:29 PM

No Hammers in the squad, you've got no chance.

I was going to have the goalie, but I figured the Hammer's defence will go missing for most of the season and decided against it.

Arthur Sixpence · 22-07-2005, 07:34 AM

I have Carroll as reserve goalie. I've put Benayoun in, not just because I'm a West Ham fan, but because he is a player who scores a lot from midfield, and I reckon he's going to make quite an impact. Not too expensive at 6.5.

poolcleaner · 22-07-2005, 01:45 PM

I wonder about Wright-Phillips.
I figure on Lampard, Makelele, Robben and one of either Duff, Cole or W-P for most games as Chelski's midfield.
Squad rotation is a luxury fantasy league managers don't have and they ultimately fuck you over.
Give me the Cahill, Stelios, Okacha types who can score and will play every week!

It's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part.

Hangover Street · 25-07-2005, 06:11 PM

Ant Raiders are in.

Lampard, Terry and Wright Phillips are the Chelski in the team. Still toying with the midfield.

May invest in another midfielder instead of WP as Chelsea have so many midfielders to choose from I don't think he'll play every game.

Just checked the website and it's all very tight in the Teak Door Fantasy League!

Bob's Bulldogs managed by Bobby Robson are the early leaders with 138 pts, 12 points clear of 2nd place, with a mere 9 points currently separating 2nd from 2nd bottom (Or 6th).

Real Richey have just made three transfers after realising that Francis Jeffer's is not going to be this years Andy Johnson like dark horse and is in fact just a [at][at][at][at]. Am also hoping that Bobby Zamora's ego can take a spell on the bench.

Just an update of the Fanny league table...

I've decided that anyone who joins in one of these competitions and stays the course deserves a 'special' night in Soi Cowboy as a reward.

Marmite the Dog · 24-01-2006, 12:48 PM

5th isn't bad. I'm about 30th over in the Ajarn league.
