The SDMB English Premiership Fantasy League- step right up.

Thanks. You’ll all have noticed there are no Spurs fans in that Idiots Gallery.
Btw, Mr Meat, like your midfield, just not sure about the firepower up front . . . time will tell . . .

I think you get more points per million with the top midfielders and average strikers than top strikers/average mids. (Just dropped Scholes coz he’s having a hernia operation on Monday).

In any case, I tend to play a sneaky game of using my transfers to rotate my strikers, squeezing more games per player from the fixture list.

I’ve had a go - The Old Fallopians.

Verily, a beautiful name, owl.

However, I need your PIN number also.

It hasn’t arrived yet - typical BBC.

check your bulk mail, thats where I found mine.

Why pick sol Campbvell for the fitrst month if he won’t be playing for most of it?

Nope. Just a few promising looking items to improve my manhood (have people been talking?) and an intriguing offer from a Nigerian ministers son.

They’ve probably heard about you at the ballet in that tu-tu, or was it the tights that gave you away ?

I’ll have you know that it was cold up there. I wasn’t at my best.

This is a good question. The answer to which involves a late-night cock up. Did you know he never got sent off in ten years at Spurs. Went a whole season once without being booked either, so I believe . . .

I didn’t pick him but does anyone else think that, given the scoring system, you’re probably as well off if your goalkeeper and defenders don’t play. The concession of even one goal puts them on zero points for a match. Spurs 0-0 with Liverpool was their first clean sheet since Christ knows when, so all their defenders would have been losing points hand over fist under this system(this coming from someone with Carr in his side). I reckon that keepers and defenders from all but the top clubs will probably end up with a negative points tally. I went for the strategy of picking a couple of cheap punters who have no chance of playing - we’ll see what happens.

This may be so, but in that case you’re better off with an incredibly cheap player who doesn’t play.

However, look on the Player List for last season’s scores and you’ll find most defenders/keepers do average out to a good few points each over the season, except some notable liabilities.

i’ve got my pin number now.

There is.
I’m a fellow sufferer.

And all because my bastard old man was Arsenal.
They fuck you up, your Mum and Dad…

All together now…

“My old man said be an arsenal fan,
I said…”

That is my favourite footie song.

THere’s a star wars analogy here too…Father; lord of the dark side, and you have embraced the light side.

God’s own team…
Well, we would have been if we hadn’t killed his son…

“If only you knew the power of the dark side…”

I’m glad to see Jermaine Pennant’s proving himself while on loan at Leeds–he got three assists last weekend, and thank God or else my fantasy team wouldn’t have scored any points.

Hopefully, Wenger won’t let him go like he did Matthew Upson–still scratching my head over that one.

Am I the only one who can’t get the link to work?

It sometimes goes down to update itself - try later. I can’t imagine that the URL will have changed.
