Well fantasy games are games rather than sport :pac: *runs*
You'd have the same argument I guess with Soccer Manager and Football Manager forums I guess.

There was talk of it being named "Video Games" rather than "Computer Games" at one point which would have been worse. Games seemed to work well enough on it's own as a title really

I think it's in the right place not that it really bothers me one way or the other where the forum is once it's somewhere

Our soccer manager game is under the same umbrella

I thought it was only my computer that couldn't translate boards.ie website correctly last night.

Can't navigate through it now.

I do so much running to be on time to make changes, why is it now considered computer game is beyond me:mad:

The race for who get promoted next season is looking mighty interesting. Might as well turn my attention to next season.

4th place Norwich's master plan of sending Mickey Turner on loan to Fulham is looking pretty good as he's just scored against 3rd place Middlesbrough

Watford on course for promotion too I suppose should be mentioned too...

dahat · 25-04-2015 04:05PM

Be interesting to see how Troy Deeney does next season, has a lot to live up to with Austin and Inga doing so well this season.

Iused2likebusts · 30-04-2015 10:39PM

Since it's too early to open the match day thread, I'll post my selection dilemma here. I have to bench a midfielder or striker, and I can't decide whom it should be:

Hazard--Fabregas--Silva--Ozil--Henderson

Kane

Aguero

Vardy

I'm definitly not benching Haz or Fab, and I'm reluctant to bench Silva, Kane, or Aguero because I'm defending a lead and my rival has the three of them.

That leaves Ozil, Henderson or Vardy as the main options to my mind. Benching Ozil against Chelsea paid off, but not sure if I can do it again (albeit against a Hull side with two clean sheets on the bounce).

Id bench Henderson out of them 3. Ozil and Vardy are in good form and although Henderson is probably Liverpools best player lately, they are struggling to score as a team. It's a tough call though.

If Henderson and Ozil's fixtures were reversed it'd be an easier call! Henderson did look dangerous against Hull, though you're right, Liverpool are really struggling creatively at the moment.

How's everyone fixed in their money leagues?

Rikand · 01-05-2015 12:56PM

I'm in a similar situation but I currently find myself benching Silva out of that team selection and that's taking into consideration that I also have Cambiasso instead of your Ozil. Newcastle are just awful at the back

Got two wrapped up for $100 total, but in a big battle for the money places in the Boards one.

If I hold onto second place in the boards league I should rake in about 500 for a 30 euro layout. I only have one other small pay league.
I'd prefer to have won the FSA premier league though:o
How's yourself, bet I was right that you'd regret making that deal a while back.

I'll take the €500 in the pay league and you can have the FSA premier league. The €20 topaz voucher is nice, but much less appealing than €500

Currently placed to win €470 in various leagues which adds nicely to the €150 approximately i have in monthly and the FSA league cup prizes so far. Would be nice to win the main prize in one of my leagues which is an all expenses paid trip to a game of my choice next season but the gap may be beyond me at this stage.

Currently have one sown up that is worth €300 (100+ points ahead) and as Ziegler said in a battle for places in the boards pay league. Have been up at the top for most of the season, fell away lately but coming back - never won a month or have a top GW score so if I miss out on the places I'll be raging

Only joking it has been a fantastic journey and well worth the €20 fee!

200 wrapped up in one. Top 3 in main league get 600, 300 and 120, respectively and am 23 and 27 points ahead of second and third.

I'd put Henderson as first sub, least dangerous option.

Lemlin · 01-05-2015 04:34PM

€260 wrapped up in a pub league. 27 points ahead in another league for €750 plus wife's team has a chance of grabbing €500 in work league of Blanch shopping centre vouchers. She's six points behind the leader. I think second gets €250 so she should get at least it. I'm languishing in fifth and there's only a top three pay out!

Henderson is on some set pieces and penalties. There is no way i'd bench him ahead of Fabregas. It's a close call but due to spot kick duties if Gerard is not playing i'd leave fabregas on the bench

I'd be very surprised if Gerrard didn't start tomorrow though. Nothing at stake rested during the week and his 2nd last game at Anfield.

Double up on Leicester defence or start Alder instead?

I have a similar scenario (Bertrand instead of Toby) and am playing Bertrand and one of the Leicester lads.
Newcastle scored twice last week against a solid Swansea side.
