Overall - 2160 points.

Boards Placing - 41st

Overall - 21,863

Transfers - 61

Considering I only joined in the 3rd gamesweek not bad. Finished 23rd in the world for everyone who joined in the 3rd week...ahh next season.

shepthedog · 13-05-2008 12:26AM

Overall: 2198

Boards - 26th

Overall - 9,882

Transfers - 35 (good few of them in the wildcard couple of weeks ago)

Pretty happy with it overall, won few private leagues with mates so bragging rights at least..
It was the season of the Ronaldo captaincy really, anyone without him was at a massive disadvantage.. His value next season will be through the roof.

Maybe they'll class Ron as a striker next season,as they did with A.Young this season,M.Taylor was defender last season,now midfielder.

Final Score: 1859

Boards - 324th

Transfers - 31

Clearly shows the strength in depth of Boards.ie league....I mean me and Kevin Keegan will be singing from the same hymn sheet, I cant see how i can compete with the guys at the top unless I get some BIG funding (about 50million more than all the 323 teams ahead of me

)

The person who lost the fantasy cup final by one point had James and Hart as goalies, neither played, sickener

jimbling · 13-05-2008 04:34PM

Total Score: 2153
Boards: 45th
Mini-League1: 1st
Mini-League2: 2nd
Transfers: 46

Had a bad last few weeks, but hung in to win the mini-league which had money one it..... yipeee!!!

Here's a thought for next season...

How about running a 2nd league, only this time make it a rule that no players from this year's top 4 in the league can be included? Might make it interesting, 6 of this year's Dream Team were from the CL qualifiers.

Maybe throw in a €20 entry fee, split 50/50 between prize money and a donation to the Santa Strike Fund?

I'd be willing to do any organising.

Ahhhhhh I was looking at the wrong boards.ie league.

Why are there two? I finished waaaay down that one. 2098 points

Still I won my private league, overtaking the season long leader on the last day of the season with my one sub making the difference (Torres) yay!

Very interesting idea. Half the time this season, the fun was sucked out by knowing everyone else had Ronaldo as captain as well.

I'd go for that too....

Provided the money isn't going to "rest in your account" :pac::pac::pac::pac:

therecklessone · 13-05-2008 11:14PM

Taking the top 4 out of the equation still leaves loads of options, especially GKs and CFs, but I still reckon it would be a trickier task picking a side that finishes clear of the field.

AFAIK there's nothing to stop a person registering two teams under different usernames/emails so everyone could still have their "serious" team.

I know you're jesting, but if anyone was wary I'm sure one of the mods wouldn't mind looking after the money. I'd enter a team, but probably disqualify myself from winning the prize money if I was in charge.

I reckon its a good way for the forum as a community to raise a feq quid for a good cause.
