    I really can't wait for Vermaelan and Lampard to come back. Vermaelan is generally a guaranteed 6 points. Lampard can score very well when he wants to aswell.

    I got rid of De Jong, who's dependable for City but useless in a fantasy league, and bought Bale. It's on now. :P

    If you had of started with the rest of us in Week 1 or 2, you could have been easily contending the championship with most of us.

    Ya, but if I started then I'd be doing crap by now. Every year I pay attention to it for the first month and then just abandon it.

    Same. I'm not too bothered either way. It was just that I always abandon it around the same time each year.

    Right, I am bumping this thread up ahead of the last weekend of the season to show where people stand and to see who is in contention for the Championship. As people can see next week will be interesting with Knife and KevinS battling it out for the title. Also there is an interesting battle taking place for the person to avoid last place with 4 battling it out not to be last. Those numbers that are in bold show close gaps in scoring.


    1 KevinS 1790

    2 KnifeWrench 1788

    3 Rebel Girl 1725

    Ha. I stopped updating my team around last year.

    Not doing too shabbily.

    I was in the top 3 at the start of the year.

    After consideration I have decided to resign as the Administrator of the C&H fantasy football league at the end of the season. I will post up the results next week and congratulate the winner. Then I that will be the last of me conducting the fantasy league. I hope it stays on next year and I will more than happy to participate but the end of the day. I did a terrible job, I could have updated the standings weekly and I think it is time to hand over the reigns to someone who will do a better job than I did.

    CONGRATULATIONS TO KNIFEWRENCH, You are the 2010 / 2011, Boards.ie, Clearasil and Hormones forum fantasy football CHAMPION.

    Commiserations to KevinS, who came so close to winning the title.

    I would like to thank everyone who played throughout the year. We had a good strong interest in the league. Getting 15 to players in the league for a forum where that isn't sport specific was a nice achievement. The league was for fun and there wasn't a single time where anything got heated over the league, which was nice to see and also why I am not making a big deal over last place aswell.

    All good things have to come to an end and now the Premier League season is over we have crowned a worthy champion: KnifeWrench.

    Ya, I'm satified.

    Actually, you wont be as the league doesn't start until week 2 because of problems. It appears though, this hasn't been applied to our league.


    Since the league hasn't been reset for us. I am using my admin powers to reset the league. The league will commence for us on Saturday. Sorry for any incovience being caused. Statement by the sites admins is below.

    *blows cobwebs and dust away from thread*

    I knew there was one of these threads somewhere down the back of the sofaforum.

    I'm going to continue doing it this year past October, I swear...


    No seriously!

    Anyway, my GW1 team:

    This is mine. The team itself was partially auto-completed but I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Not really much on the bench tbh.

    @WNolan, you could remove De Gea and get a cheaper GK, you'd have money left over then. You don't get any points for your subs I don't think.

    Both De Gea and Cech only cost £12.5m, which I thought was a bargain tbh.

    If I were to sell one of them it'd be Cech though, since I like to have a United GK in my teams. I only chose Cech cos he has 2 games this week.


    RVP and Aguero up front is a nice combination. I found strikers to be the hardest thing to buy this year. I spent all my money on Defenders and midfielders. Though I feel I made the right choice focusing on my midfield more than previous years.

    *I'm not sure on this* but I think your subs only come into it if one of your starting players doesn't start, so that would mean your GK would have not start for the other to even score points that week. But I'm not sure.

    Ba upfront was a good choice I think.

    Also, here's my finalised team for tomorrow, the only difference being that Cech is now my Captain:
