official /sp/ league!Register at http://fantasy.premierleague.com (it's free) and once you've picked your team enter league code 106423-27413Game starts August 16th, so all transfers are unlimited until then.(I'm hoping for a sticky, but I know theres no mods)
It would have to be stickied for the whole season, don't be silly.Anyway I'll play. Came 4th in the Euro 2008 league.
>>210336obviously just for a week or so, cause I know i'm going to have to bump it senseless
worth a shot
should I start Brad Friedel or Tim Howard?I CANT DECIDE THEY BOTH WON FIFA
I'd say Howard. I'm an Evertonian so I'm slightly biased, but our defence was pretty solid last year with the likes of Lescott, Jagielka and Yobo so he's likely to keep more clean sheets.
done.

let's do some Champion's Leageau fantasy stuff instead.and more importantly: Wait with spending 30 minutes with your team untill the transfer market is actually shut down.

o how i would lol if our league got absolutely hammered in the official tables.even so, should still be a laugh. i usually only participate in one of my clubs unofficial forum's leagues, but i'm making an exception because i love all you faggots so much.
>>211392We were actually in the top 10% for the Euro 08 league.Not bad for a bunch of faggots.
>>211394knowledegable footballfags in my /sp/? apparently it was moar likely than i thought.
Oh, Sweet AmberHow sweet are you?
As an American, I must say it's time to bring my skills to bear in fantasy sports on this the world's sport.
I'm too indecisive to post my team here, I keep changing it.
>>211420i nearly posted mine, but i don't want to give any of you fags an unfair advantage over eachother if someone copied my inspired choices and formation.
>>211420fuck it, I'm happy with it :GK:JamesKirkland (sub)DF:LescottBrownLaursenSagnaMeite (sub)MF:Fabregas (c)BallackKranjcarYoungHamann (sub)FW:Van PersieJohnsonHarewood (sub)

Ah, this'll be entertaining, trying to take a sport I'm familiar with but do not have strong specific knowledge in and still somehow not fail miserably.
>>211486luck plays a massive part in doing well at fantasy football. you could argue that it's all about luck iin fact.
>>211496its luck in projecting who's going to have a breakthrough

HEY IDIOTS! STOP POASTING IN A BREAD WITH YOUR OWN FANTASY TEAMSONLY TOAST WITH SUM BRED WITH THE TEAMS WITH WHICH YOU HAVE WITH SIGNED UP WITH.ALSO, WITH.
>>212264no.
>>211675>this is one of the worst teams i've ever seen. enjoy coming lastthats the whole fucking ideai'm going for worst score evergonna have to ditch ronaldo because hell get too many pointsneed a midfielder whos completely useless, just gets red carded every week or is just comical
>>212314Buy Reo-coker. Seriously, red/yellow carded EVERY week, doesn't even score.
>>212393it's a shame really. With some better set pieces, Aston Villa could be a pretty good team.
>>212314buy ryan nelsen from blackburn - he's actually a pretty decent defender, but refs have it in for him bigtime and book him every fucking game without fail. he's also guaranteed to get sent off for something really trivial at least twice before christmas.
>>212475edit: he's not a midfielder, but he'll be good for your defence if you don't wanna score many points
>>212314Get fucking Joey Barton. That cunt's in JAIL, bitch.
Hey, I did this last year, does anyone know if they delete last season's usernames database, coz I don't wanna sign up again if I'm already still a member, I'll just recover my old name back.
No Ronaldo?
>>212510they won't delete your shit, but they will take you through parts of the registration process again and make you confirm the details associated with your old username.
I did this last year and sucked horribly. Even when Ronaldo and Torres were getting their hat tricks and I was getting like 200 points or some shit, I was still like in 3004th place or something.This year I loaded up my forwards and midfielders but have the shittiest defenders possible. Most of them don't even play. Oh well.
>>2127453004th place? Out of around 1 and a half million,Thats pretty good?
I need a cool name.
>>212510I just did that, just sign in again and it'll ask you to confirm shit like your email.
Why do you guys bother using substitutes that are actually good? They never get you points...
>>213213you can never legislate for injuries and suspensions to your first teamers, and unless you wanna risk losing points by making more than one transfer per week, it's a good idea to have reasonable (but not great) subs
win thread is win
ReinaBoswingaBrownArbeloaKranjcarMartin PetrovDowningGamst PedersenYakubuTorresTevezSubs: Some shit people
I'm in. Is there a La Liga, Serie A version?
>>210508howard
people always pick awful subs and regret it later, they WILL be sued at some point
>>214463My subs at least play. They just wont get many points.I've never understood why people pick defensive midfielders, though.
Signed upRonaldo captain = rape for me
this way is easier
>>214471Oh cool, can you link me to the Fantasy La Liga?
>>214478He's gonna miss the first 5 games or something anyway
>>214471no, he is going to real madrid
>>214480Yeah, 33 games of his awesome points + captain bonus>>214481Shame it's never ever gonna happenUntil next summer
Not too happy with my team but we'll see. I finished in the top 10 of the Euros.
>>214497Looks good other than maybe Huddlestone in the first team. He never scores and probably won't even be first choice. I'd switch him and Jagielka
>>214508Yeah, you're right there, Jagielka is probably a better first choice. Jagielka it is.
Meh, this is my first EPL fantasy year, so I'll probably bomb.
this game sucks and will not allow me to field a team of carraghers
>>214598Enjoy your 22 points per most games.
>>214630With a team full of a Liverpool player, enjoy your 38 points.
>>214631lol'd
I placed 30 000th last season.My hints?Go big on defense and a goalie. They offer the best value. Right now, I have three 7.0 defenders.Go small on forwards. Get one over 9 max, if that. don't use three forwards, scoring goes against them.Don't get Ronaldo this season. Look at it this way:Ronaldo and a cheap player - 18.5 together. He's also very unsettled at United, and it could be possible that he'll have another great season, but it's unlikely. Fabregas + Bentley is one example of a higher-scoring combo (last year) without that dead weight.Pay attention to scheduling and plan ahead. Note bye weeks, and runs against hard or easy teams.Be mindful of preseason games. Managers will be testing their formations, and throwing new players in the mix. Shoe-ins may be out, and you may also get surprised by former bench warmers.Defenders that take free kicks are dangerous.
>>214663great tips anon. cheers.
WHO CARES JOSH HAMILTON IS HITTING HOME RUNS!
You're mine, /sp/!
>>215614Need to swap Johnson for Johnson.
There are mods but the mods are Turk's. Try a soccer fantasy for the towelheads.

Goallie: Van der sarDefenders: Laursen Lescott Ferdinand CaragherMIdfield: Jenas Gerrard(C) Downing KranjcarForward: Defoe AlvesSubs: Walker huddlestone Bendtner MeiteMy starting XI totalled 1580 points but Defoe and Alves weren´t really around for the first half of the season so i think 50 more points for alves and 30 for defoe. Also Downing isn´t a player thats surrounded by media and seems to do really well fantasy wise.
>>215614You have more johnson's than a gay gangbang
>>213213>>213214because if you have decent subs and their playing against shit teams like Hull City, and your starter is playing against ManU, you're going to want to play your sub instead.
Messed around with mine a little since there are no transfer penalties to the first game. Happier now. Thought I'd take a risk on Jo instead of Defoe or Benjani. And hope Nasri is an instant starter in north London same goes for for his derby rival Luca Modric. If Berba goes United I've got only got the two key back players so I don't go over the limit anyway. Considering Young for Barry because a ridiculous 19mil irl might move his game value up.
>>215991I've had Downing and Yakubu in my team every year since the 03/04 season. Always do well.
>>2156144 Johnsons and 5 Tayl-ors.teehee
>>216007I don't think you understand. Your subs dont get you points. You have to put them in your first 11 to get points. So while your decent-good players are playing Man United, your shit players will still be shit, maybe getting a couple of points but them not counting towards you.Just get the lowest cost subs possible and then you can be like me and buy Fabregas, Rio, Berba etc
>>218260You're a dumbass, that's why you don't pick shit subs and rotate them when they're against weaker opponents.
>>214631Fine. Ten carraghers and a torres.#19 IN THE HOUSE
>>218898eh, alright la
>>218974If any of you where scouse you'd know carragher is hated. His shitty sports cafe is only full when its raining and when its not ahs about 2 people inside it who are always foreign.
>>210678PHIL NEVILLE JESUS NO!
>>218978As a United fan I'd love to see 11 Carragher's. That little bitch is overrated as all fuck. And he pussed out when he realized he'd have to play better to keep his England spot.
>>218999He's awesome at fouling people in the area and getting away with it, you gotta give him that.
>>218999jesus fuck you're stupid. the man's 30! You WANT a 30 year old "crap" defender to play for England? Do you LIKE suffering? Are you a closet Newcastle fan or something?
>>218978>>His shitty sports cafe is only full when its raining and when its not ahs about 2 people inside it who are always foreign.Johnson and Arteta
i'm in faggots check this line-upGoals: Van der star / GreenDef: G. Johnson, Campbell, Evra, Clichy DunneMid: Fabba!, Essien, Geovanni, Young, RichardsFor: Van Persie, Carew and Vaz Tei'ma win niggas
Kinda makeshift for now but here it is:GK:CechGreenDF:CarragherCarvalhoRichardsSagnaEmertonMF:HargreavesArtetaMascheranoNasriPetrovFW:BerbatovSanta CruzAshtonI'm considering getting Schwarzer for GK but I'm not really confident of Fulham's defensive line. Would give me at least one more point for an expensive player (10+). Getting Carragher in hopes of ref bias towards Liverpool.
this leagues gonna be a fucking laugh
I'm going to buy me the entire Spanish national team and WIN THE EPL
>>219046Geovanni? Think He'll come good at Hull? He's seen as a flop in Manchester, regardless of the United and Wigan goals.
As a man city fan i have done my team proud.I used the max city players, and no united players. WIN TEAM WIN PLZ.
>>214663Or you could just not be gay and play the game like a man, not a little nerd analysing stats.
sunday afternoon bump

BUMP

so with keane now at liverfags, what do you now think would be the pro's and con's of having him in your fantasy team?
