    Ended on 66 points - Swansea leaking 2 goals and Everton losing cost me - I have a feeling that its going to be one of those weird seasons again!

    Went to update my lovely table - and its gone - have to start again, damn!
    66 was a good score considering you only had 9 players scoring.

    God dammit Van Persie.

    68 this week despite not have a full starting XI :D. Delighted with that.

    General tips for people who never played this game/haven't a clue;

    1: Don't buy expensive defenders/keepers. 5.5 is the max I'd spend on either. Use the rest to load up on the leagues best attacking talent.

    2: Don't buy good defenders, buy cheep defenders from good defences; (Arsenal, United, Chelsea, City, Spurs, Newcastle, Stoke, West Ham)

    3: Dont buy defencive midfilders, they're FF poison.

    Tips for this week;

    1: Don't make any transfers yet. Two weeks of internationals will see players get injured. Wait and see who gets injured. Think about playing your wildcard (As many free transfers as you like untill the next game week. Can only use once a season.) this week.

    2: United are playing Wigan, Chelsea are playing QPR, Arsenal are playing Southampton. Put RVP, Hazard, Torres or Carzola as your captian. ;)


    Oh and the person in 25th, you have two players who dont play in the PL anymore! Get the finger out! :p

    Another tip, keep an eye on the number of fixtures in the next several game weeks, sometimes you'll have a team that doesn't play because of other commitments (meaning two teams are out that game week) so keep those players on the bench (eg chelsea this week). Or you'll have the opposite case where a team plays twice (chelsea last week) so buy some of those players, or at least make one of them captain!

    Some great tips there. Just on the wildcard part there is another one in January afaik? http://fantasy.premierleague.com/rules/

    Despite Van Persie's hat trick, Tevez scored the same number of points as him this week but Van Persie is nearly four million dearer. I'd rather spend that extra money on a top midfielder. 13.3 million for one player is just too much for me. He'd have to be scoring a hat trick every week to justify that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Absolute muck week for me, couldn't edit my team on my phone and I was away from Wednesday until last night. Must do better this week...

    I have Tevez too, just can't afford RVP. I need to find that other consistent striker to partner up Tevez. I don't think Adebayor is that player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭krankykitty


    Good old RVP, I thought it was all going downhill after the penalty miss... My new favourite United player :)

    Had Hazard and Cole too, forgot they weren't playing this week, rookie mistake doing the wild card to get Hazard in this week.

    Have Tevez as well. I'll keep him until his annual "I hate football, want to go back to Argentina" histrionics.

    Ya Adebayor is too inconsistent and Spurs are sh1te right now. Berbatov could be worth a crack now that he should be playing more often but again he's another Adebayor type...you just don't know what you're gonna get with him from one week to the next. I think I might take a punt on Fletcher though, reckon he could bang them in as he should get good quality service from Sunderland's wide players.

    I'm really happy I signed up to fantasy football- I'd never done it before and had no idea what I was doing at the start but I've gone from last to 8th :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,946 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar

    Anyone who is in the league from last year is still here! I had a super week for a change! Used my wildcard very early, but it was worth it!

    Apologies to anyone who sent me a PM, can't access FF at work for some reason, and my internet at home is dodgy. Will look up the code and send it on ASAP!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,946 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar

    So once you log in and create your team, if you were there last season, you should be added back into the league, if not let me know :)
