Enworld Fantasy Football UK (soccer) '07/08 - Season Starts 11th Aug

Hope you don't mind an old-time ENWorld joining the league late...

Welcome! Are you "The Hivemind" then?

 

[Gulla]

Welcome!

I'll second that

And as long as you stay put behind me I won't even complain

I'm a little worried about this week. My bench is pretty thin.

Yup, the Hivemind is my team.

http://www.xperteleven.com is an online fantasy football game that I play (and run some leagues in). You manage a fictional team in a fictional league, rather than managing real players a la Premier League Fantasy Football.

When it comes around to me looking for new players to add to my league I'll put a post in here. It's a good fun game, and if you sign up now for one of the public leagues you'll be able to get an idea how it all works.

Aside from all that - England were bloody luck over the weekend!

You're just gloating

I'll catch you somehow. But my (not so) cunning plan to have Fabregas as team captain next week with Arsenal playing twice failed. Stupid Champions League (my thoughts on the CL including the results from Trondheim are not fit for this board).

I was lucky to catch it as well. I had set up the team Wednesday night, and if I hadn't done a wrong click and seen the headlines on Eurosport I would still be fielding Fabregas...

As a Newcastle fan I am quite happy with last night's result.... the fact I had Gallas as my captain did not make me happy! At least you've only closed the gap by one point!

 

[Gulla]

I'll refrase your last post:

At last I've closed the gap to one point

I really wish I could manage to chose the best captain for all games. If I had the best captain in each game I would have at least 100 points more.

But I'm happy right now. My goal for this season is to be in the top 10.000 globally and competing closely for 1. place among EN-worlders. And currently that looks good. Now to manage to stay in there over Christmas.

Håkon
for the first time in a long time happy for a ManU victory (which feels very wrong )

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

I'm absolutely delighted at Spurs win at Portsmouth, of course.

If only I'd not picked Richards for my captain (didn't think Bolton would score at Man City...sigh).

I've been doing pretty well with captain selection until this week.... I didn't believe Tottenham would ever manage to keep a clean sheet.... but they did

Xmas is usually my worst time in fantasy football, it was the same last year where I was doing OK in the Enworld league and then dropped down to 5th in two weeks, I must do better this year.
