Yes a great week for me after a very dodgy one.
I'm well pleased to be so close to the top having missed out on the first week's points!

Think I've found the trick to this Fantasy Footy thing - keep joining leagues until you can find a group of players more hopeless than yourself. I am 12th of 13 teams in the EC FF league, but just joined the Richard Hawley Board league today, where the same measly total puts me at the top of the table.

That's not significant. Our Aim Is True is where it's at (unless you work with me!).

Well, it's significant to me!

Wot a pisser!! I made a minor transfer in the morning and then discovered that Hleb and Okocha were out with injuries

Forced into losing 8 pts before a ball is kicked........fuck it!!!

do you not have players on your bench you can use. or are you just an alround bad manager?

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sat Oct 15, 2005 5:47 am

Don't act until you've done your homework. I tend to make my transfers after 11, having checked all the relevant sources. If NTL let me down, I will sue. I was gonna go for the boy Ledley, but looks like he's dead-legged and may not play, so I splashed the cash and got Gallas. More or less a guaranteed bunch of points. Got rid of Cunningham at last.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 3:07 pm

Huh! Sodding Gallas only got a poxy two, whereas Smedley Bling did play and got six. VG deposes IP and goes top, for the time being, at least (Charlton v Fulham to go, I'm angling for a Bent hat-trick, and some further bonus points on Tues).

The Actim bonus points are still to be added but it looks like a very tight competition.
Fishwillfly - 445 points ; me - 444 ; verbal - 443
with Otis lurking 5 points behind.

Needless to say, I hope to regain the leadership after the bonus points.

My man is top of the league!!

Since leaving home my son doesn't have much acess to the internet so he hasnt done anything with his team and is slowly slipping down the table.

Damn and blast - I had Lampard as my captain but swopped him over for Bent this week!! GGRRRRR!!

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 4:19 pm

Nice to see I was top for the week. It's getting close at the top. Still only 8th at work, though.

invisible Pole · Post by **invisible Pole** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 7:44 am

Just made a rather bold move. I've nominated a player with a total of less than 20 points the new captain of my team.
I just have to take some risk to overtake Verbal Madrid.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 9:28 pm

Should have stuck with Henry! I was mnortified to hear in a taxi in Madrid the news that Arse had won 4-0 and Henry was on form. I sold the bugger at last and put in Harewood. Good news is Harewood got 9 points, only 1 off Henry. Bad news is Hyppia only got 1 and Gerrard, my cap'n, got 3.

invisible Pole · Post by **invisible Pole** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 2:16 pm

My "bold move" (Riera from MC) brought me ZERO points.

My other purchase, on the other hand (Samaras), scored two goals !!

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 9:20 pm

You did well, but you could so easily have had 10 more!

Fishfinger king · Post by **Fishfinger king** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 5:41 pm

Watch out Invisible Pole - my moody doomed love is out to get you. Only 7 points behind with Acctim points to come.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 7:27 pm

Nice gap closing after a very poor week for IP. Lucky you with Reo Coker. 6th is a poor show for a 3-season veteran like me. At this rate Gilly will overtake me! And how humiliating to have SLL above me. Tonight was shite with the two players I had out, Hyppia and Harewood coming on as subs in last half hour. This next week is mad. 3 fixtures for Midd! don't believe I've sen that one before.

Yeah, it was a terrible week for me. After Actim points it could be down to 3-4 points difference !!
My only hope is that all my players will play two games in the next Gameweek. Losing the top place at this point would be most disappointing.

Gillibeanz · Post by **Gillibeanz** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 6:55 am

You know - you lot must be pretty good - cos im not doing that well in our league, but in the other one i'm in where there are 48 in the league im in 9th position!

I always knew Elvis Costello fans were pretty special!

Who Shot Sam? · Post by **Who Shot Sam?** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 6:58 am

I'm 5 out of 10 in the Richard Hawley board no-hopers league. Maybe that's more my speed?

No wonder the Sheffield clubs haven't been able to get back into the Premiership for years!

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 4:57 pm

Still 6 points, IP. If only the Prem had such a dogfight for winner.

Shame. It was down to your boys and they bottled it against Sunderpants.

We're only human. Unlike your Porto-Russky automota!

Bugger.
I get within striking distance then have 4 players injured in this weekend's round of matches, including Rooney, who I'd made Captain. I guess the Pole's been the most consistent all season, blah, blah, blah etc etc ad infinitum.
