How can you make 6,000 transfers in a week?

Dedication

To be fair it's likely someone who is trying to finish bottom. Either they have a computer program doing it or they made a minimum of 400 separate transfer changes (of 15 at a time) in that gameweek. It appears there are a number of people doing this, check out the last page of the overall scores - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/my-leagues/303/standings/?ls-page=64044

I saw this guys team before - the weird thing is that despite clearly being bottom of the table in 3,202,154, the game lists there being 3,214,629 players.

And the advantage of being bottom is......?

You would have to ask the considerable number of people that are on -1,000 points or worse. F**k knows, people are odd.

Surely if you're trying to finish last you wouldn't have Suarez and Aguero up front

Is there a prize for last?

Maybe there is amongst a group of friends or something.

Most people play the points game, some people play the most valuable team game, some people play without Chelsea/United/City players, some people play Ireland players only, some people play the last game.

Apparently if you come last you get this message

Devia

His previous seasons scores are actually quite impressive.

Best #BPL goal involvement (mins per goal or assist):
1. Henry (85.6)
2. Aguero (88.9)
3. Podolski (96.7)
4. RVP (97.2)
5. Hernandez (100.8)

Pretty cool stat, I'm surprised Suarez isn't top 5. He must not have assisted as much in previous seasons.

Just had a little look at Transfermarkt and I've worked it out that Suarez scores a goal or assists every 84.5mins. Maybe they count assists as something else to PL but Suarez is definitely up there.

PL doesn't count penalties won, I think

What do you guys think Ronaldo's value would be if he came back to the EPL, 15.0?

FF Daily
" After an intense campaign of Fantasy Football, manager Posada has said he is taking s a sabbatical and will not be available for the World Cup as he looks forward to some much needed downtime.

Speaking to FF Daily he said: It's been a mad season, a lot of excitement, some hard decisions and some wonderful moments and of course there is still two gameweeks left, but I will enjoy taking some time off to reconsider my options and see where we are in September before considering my next project.
"Some of the lads who've been part of the FF team all season, it'll be sad to leave them, but hopefully I'll be reunited with some of them in the not too distant future ."

For many players, the stress of picking a starting 11 each week and having to leave others on the bench and the choppping and changing in team selection right up to the next morning and picking a captain takes its toll as does the sense of fury of supporting your rival team because you've got their striker captained, causes emotional trauma and relegates their real life to an afterthought. We interviewed one player who reported to missing the arrival of his firstborn as "I was chekcing the updates on the footy and how my FF team were doing". His wife was none to pleased he added.



We also speke to Tom of FSA who decided to quit his job and became a Fantasy Manager full time " It was a big risk, but I'm glad I did it, I'm living the dream ! Tom has already done extensive research into next season and is already plotting his GW 1 transfers "I've
been watching the various leagues in Europe and eyeing up potential talent that might be playing in England next season, I'll make a shortlist of the various defenders, midfielders and so on and then act accordingly. I'm already looking at those Championship lads that will becoming FF players next season, studying their form and their potential for becoming point machines. Some really exciting prospects, so looking forward to acting early and being ready so we can hit the ground running for GW 1 when it comes around! Talk about dedicated.

Mirror reporting that Rooney may miss the Sunderland game. Illness/recurrence of toe injury cited as the problem(s).

Stomach injury was another report on the Twitter machine.

@danroan: People close to Wayne Rooney tell us he missed training because of a stomach complaint rather than any injury - panic over?

@Rio_F79: @zerowalls Conflicting reports on Rooney injury. Telegraph reported stomach bug while Daily Mail n Mirror state its a foot injury.

Paully D

Have him in my team but I really hope he misses out. It'd help Sunderland out a lot.

Bad news whatever it is.....
