Enworld Fantasy Football UK (soccer) - Final Standings

Anyone else done something stupid this round?

I debated with myself for a long time if I should buy Crouch (costing me 4 points) and after doing it a new dilemma of wether to make him captain. And now the stupid Liverpool manager starts him on the bench! I _really_ hate Liverpool FC (OK, so that's nothing new from a longtime Everton fan...)

Now I just hope some of the other Liverpool strikers get suspended and/or injured so Crouch will play at least one match...

not happy with the start of this round

Wow, I'm not last? After not doing anything with them!? Yay!

But, uh, what sort of stuff do I what to do now?

Well, Gerrard has barely produced since I bought him, so that might count, but hope springs eternal.

I was none too thrilled to find out Rio Ferdinand limped off from yesterday's FA Cup match with a groin injury. I suspect my defensive line is going to be pretty weak this week unless Carvalho has a big game on Wednesday.

Well seems you finally got your (unjust ) reward for him.

To think that I "paid" 4 points to have Crouch and chose him as a captain over Fabregas is just heartrending. And I sold Berbatov to get him.

So I should have had 6 for Berbatov, 34 for Fabregas as a captain giving 40 points.

Instead I got -4 and +6 for Crouch as a captain and 17 still for Fabregas. for 19 points.

The really frustrating part is that even with the 21 points ekstra I would only keep up, not gain anything. The second place seems to be slipping out of reach. Well, a CL-spot seems safe, and top-3 is ok.

I'm not sure yet (the table's still calculating and I've been home sick, so my math could be off) but I think I crept back up to 4th today. Plus, since I was home sick, I got to watch the game live.

I'm sure I'll take another tumble before its all over though.

EDIT: Still in fifth...

And it took no time at all, it seems. Gerrard on the bench today (Why Rafa, why?), Carragher with a yellow card twenty minutes in.

 

[Theron]

Three weeks to go and a whole three points separate 4th through 6th place, with 7th only 33 behind.

Who still have their transfer wild-card left?

Seems now is the perfect time to fill the teams with as many Blackburn and Tottenham players as possible. Chealsky and ManU seem to be a bit too expensive, but I think I can get more than half the team with double games the next round.

If only Everton could stop this stupid "letting in goals" they have been doing lately...

Who still have their transfer wild-card left?

I used my wild card after the first or second gameweek to totally revamp my team. I regretted it mid-season but I feel pretty good about my chances to win it all going down the stretch. Fortunately the Donkeys got off to a slow start this year otherwise I'd be chasing them again.

Stupid Kean! Why on earth should he go and get injured in training before this week. I even had him as my Captain. Fortunately I caught the problem just a few hours before th close of week 37...

Now, who to put as captain. I need some serious scoring this week to have any glimmer of hope to catch second. Well, I guess I'll be content with third as well.

coming back stronger next year.
