Enworld Fantasy Football UK (soccer) - Final Standings

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.

Thankfully, I read that Rafa was likely to rest Gerrard after the Chelsea match, so I didn't captain him this week (also, since Spurs play twice, I figure Berbatov's a safe bet for a few extra points). I'll just be happy to qualify for Europe my first year in the League.

Well, I'm hoping for a 1-0 for Chealsky today. That way we get a real match where Ferguson will use Ronaldo so I get my captainpoints twice for him. I was having serious trouble deciding between Berbatov and Ronaldo this week, and with the Donkeys selecting Berbatov I really hope he flops, even though I have him in the team as well

So far this week is looking very good. If we could finish it now I have only 10 point to a secure Champions League place.

I think your luck ran out. That was just a stupid penalty.

Yep.

And how bad it ran out as well. After the league was decided Ronaldo (my captain for the week, stupid me) isn't even in the ManU squad against Chealsky, and Carric is warming the bench. And Chech isn't in the Chealsky squad. Blæh!

Well. The only way to get that second place now seem to be a lot of goals for Keane and a red card for Berbatov in the tottenham match. I don't think I can gain more than 20 points in the last round, so a good match for Berbatov wil plave me securely in third.

The really bad taste of this third place is that I have made 2 mistakes that each have lost me far more than the 20 points I'm currently behind. The "Crouch-disaster" cost me most (almost 50 points, and I would have had time to get in some Blackburn players for the last 2 weeks). And then the two rounds where I could not really make up my mind about which captain to chose, and picked the wrong one each time.

Seems I am saving my luck for my D&D games

I'd rather Berbatov have another good game, just to pad my margin on the 5th-7th place teams at this point.

Nice run at the end of the season Donkeys. The Krushers also made a nice run out of the bottom of the table. The Magpies certainly did fall though. Thanks everyone who kept competing until the end. I'm already looking forward to another exciting season in a few months.

Thanks Myc. Now I'm off to have some fun.....

 

[Ferret]

Woo! All that lack of effort paid off!

Yay! finally back on EnWorld after almost 2 months of not being able to log on!

A good finish to the season means that the Donkeys hold on to second place, but lose the Enworld UK Fantasy Football Trophy to the dastardly BoltonRoad Wanderers. Next year we'll be back.

Thanks all for joining our little league, and as loki44 says, we'll be back for more mayhem in a couple of months!

P.S. Any of you going to GenCon UK?
