JackieRyan · 20-07-2009 02:50PM

I think you should take out Zhirkov to be honest, I am an avid chelsea fan I & I believe that Malouda will play more than him. put in a consistantly played player.

What are opinions of this team?

I've decided to go with 4-5-1 since midfielders score the most points

Should I keep Zhirkov in the squad, I heard he will be playing mostly as a winger in real life so he should get a good few points.

Vampireskiss · 20-07-2009 04:24PM

How do you guys think Zhirkov will do this season? I am unsure whether to pick him for my fantasy football team

builttospill · 21-07-2009 04:30PM

I'm looking through a lot of these teams and I'm wondering if certain people have taken part in the fantasy before. Some of those choices are well dodgy. Year in year out the same core group of players pick up the majority of points yet some people have completely overlooked them. Fine by me. And as for Zhirkov??? Ha. He won't be a regular in the Chelsea line-up. Like lambs to the slaughter some of ye.

UpTheSlashers · 21-07-2009 05:15PM

Still not fully happy with mine:

Sorensen

Edgar
Lescott
Evra
A. Cole

Lampard
Gerrard
Arshavin
Nzogbia

Beattie
Doyle

Subs:
Hart
Muamba
Bramble
Nevland

Show us your team then, expert.

Mezcita · 21-07-2009 05:32PM

Zhirkov is an interesting signing though. Cole and Malouda were in great form towards the end of last season. Malouda signed a contract extension today as well. No idea where they will play Zhirkov.

+1, I wouldnt mind seeing it

builttospill · 21-07-2009 05:35PM

I will not show you my team! I came in the top 1000 overall last season and I've been playing it for 5 years.

All I'm saying is that people need to reassess their teams. I play in a league with about 80 other people and each year about 30 of those people pick teams very much like some of the teams posted here. I laugh when I see them and sure enough come October and beyond these teams are languishing at the bottom of the league.

It's not rocket science. There are many factors that contribute to fantasy success but your fundamental season-starting formation has to be spot on-The biggest mistake people make is trying to be different. Yes certain players will surprise and they will have to be acquired over the season but a lot of players listed here will do sweet FA.

Dear Fantasy Football,

How I've missed you...

Do you even realise how that comes across? Dude- Fantasy football is about making the right transfers at the right time and the punts you make going right.

I finished in the top 400 last year and the top 2000 the year before and have been in the top ten in Boards for the last three. Your I'm so great attitude doesn't endear me to you in any way whatsoever- IT"S A GAME. It's about being fun. For me the fun is posting my team, debating choices and learning from other people around me. No-one is infallible

Unfortunately for some people their pleasure is the "I'm so great". And the reason I think you're not posting your team is because we'll rip it to shreads after that rant.

I can tell you are so jealous right now...

builttospill · 21-07-2009 05:57PM

In fact I've actually got my keks around my ankles right now just looking at my team.

Mr. Incognito · 21-07-2009 05:57PM

Yes, I am jealous of a person sitting behind a keyboard who doesn't even have the stones to back up his holier than thou rant. Ah, Keyboard warriors.

Oh, wait, I almost forgot the obligatory- "I know I am but what are you"

See you in the sandpit later.

builttospill · 21-07-2009 05:57PM

fap fap fap...

UpTheSlashers · 21-07-2009 05:58PM

I hope this thread doesnt get stupid, i was really looking forward to ff this year

MOD NOTE: Ok you've made your point, you're better than us blah blah blah.

If you aren't going to contribute something worthwhile to the discussion backed up with reason and examples then please don't post in the thread again. This is meant to be a bit of fun and if that's not for you then don't join the league. Looking down your nose at everyone else is not an attitude that's going to wash here, particularly when everyone else is more than happy to help each other out.

In summary, either put up or shut up.

A quick one - Crouch or Carlton Cole? Forget about the 0.5M difference in price for now.

Mr. Incognito · 21-07-2009 07:00PM

Defo cole- no risk of rotation- picks up more bonus points and I reckon will chip in with about 15+ this season

Depends where Crouch ends up I guess..
