The C&H Fantasy Football Thread

unknown13

As some of you know, we have created a fantasy football league on http://www.premierleague.com for the C&H posters.

If anyone has only seen this for the first time. If you would like the code, please PM me.

unknown13

This is for the table, important announcements regarding the league etc

Bahahahahaha I picked the people with funny names ffs :P

ironictoaster

Doing terrible, 3rd last. Only can United can get me in mid table now.

In 4th, but I didn't even remember to pick my team or make subs. Let's hope that luck keeps up :P

KnifeWRENCH

Was hoping for a load of points yesterday because I had Fabregas as my captain. Fecker wasn't even on the subs bench. :mad:

Three players tonight in Man U v Newcastle will hopefully get me some more points though.

Same! Was quite disappointed about that. On the bright side, this is only Week 1

EDIT: I'm not last any more??

bluejay14

I've started a week late but anyway...I'll catch up


I never thought it'd be so hard to pick a team.

syncosised

I thought that it was going to be the same league as last year, I didn't see this topic!

kev_s88

Not for long.....:P
Gwan Reina and Rooney is all I have to say, my last hopes for this week. Went down like 3 places

Slow Show

Only after checking there, I've jumped up 5 places and tied 4th now. Considering I was 10th at some stage last week, yaaaay

KnifeWRENCH

Oh hai there Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger,
Shur, it's only the Permiership; why would you bother playing Rooney and Fabregas?

:mad::mad:

Things not going well at all for me.

bluejay14

I'm not last anymore!! \o/

Piste

How do fantasy leagues work? I heard loads of talk about them during the world cup, but I never really understood how they work.

ironictoaster

You pick 11 players from different teams to make your own team. When they play real life they are given a number of points depending on how they play in real life. The person with most points end of the season.

Piste

So does everyone just pick the best players then?

Nah, you have a budget unfortunately..:pac:

Piste

Oh so everyone HAS to have a mix of good and bad players?

Basically yeah, you can't afford to buy all the good players, so you have to buy bad ones too.

Aoibheann

I wouldn't necessarily say "bad" players.. Any time I've played fantasy football (and I've done pretty well for the most part), I've managed to have a pretty damn good team. It's really about knowing the type of team a player is most effective against, and knowing when to take them out of your team. You can get a brilliant team for the number of units available to you once you know most teams inside out.. Then again, I'm aware that people aren't bothered knowing everything about every team other than the one they follow, so I might just be a tad weird. >_<

Oh, and also knowing a bargain when you see one! Yakubu was AMAZING back in the day, and I got him for a pittance. Oh his end-of-season four goals way back when!

bluejay14

3 out of my 4 subs have broken either a leg or an ankle and my sub keeper's injured too.:mad:

unknown13

From now on I will be posting up the scores of the league on a weekly basis. It is done for the MMA fantasy league and works well, so I will start doing it here.

Now, I am dealing with the league a bit more, the League is actually becoming a very good competitive league now. Numbers in bold are where less than five points separate a few spots.

DylanS09

Forgot all about this 5th..not so bad

Slow Show

I was 2nd a few weeks ago

Oh. This is grand considering I forgot about the league. unknown13 posting the table might also help remind us to make subs and so on.

Jackobyte

I only saw this now. 6 weeks late? Ah, I'll join tomorrow anyway.

unknown13

Just looking at the table and fixtures. If someone doesn't over take me this week then I will be extremely surprised. It looks like my 8 week #1 reign will be over this weekend.

Once again the league is showing how close it is. Loads of bold numbers throughout the table. The table has been split up a bit this week because of the amount of bold numbers. Other than that, remember to play your captain (Double points applies only to the captain) well and hope for the best from your team.

unknown13

Jackobyte will be joining the league now. If anyone else wants to join, they have until Sunday night to PM. After Sunday night the league will be closed for entries and it will stay that way.

I've just realised that Mascherano has been on my team all season. Woops.

Once again there is a pile of Bold numbers. Shows one good week in the league can bring you up loads of spots, which makes the league very interesting.

ironictoaster

This year is way harder, last year it was just a case of having Rooney as your captain and you'd be doing well.

As you can see Conor is now top and my 13 week stay at the top is over, no excuses. Conor has been playing very good in the past few weeks. There is a pile of bold numbers from 3rd to 10th spot this week.

Reminder: NEXT ROUND IS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

Fair play Jackobyte last night with that performance, it was the highest score of the week.

Wow. This is a serious reason to start paying attention to my Fantasy league team. :P

I kind of stopped paying attention when my "stars" got injured.

Jackobyte

This week I decided that Tottenham would have a big win so I was captaining a Tottenham player. I had to choose between Van de Vaart and Bale and I made the wrong choice. I would have got 16 more points if I had went with Bale.

unknown13

Will post the table up later. Looking at it now, the league is very tight.

I put Bale on my bench this week so you are not allowed to complain! :P
