Fantasy Footy League 2011 - 2012

[big eejit]

I didnt

I did. And I bought Pienaar for a 4 point hit.

Wish I'd gone the whole hog and bought Howard too as Krul and Vorm have been utterly vanquished.

 

[poului]

99 points and counting this gameweek! Even the players I left on the bench are raking them in. Talk about timing your surge.

 

[butchersapron]

You mean that it's too late?

 

[poului]

You mean that it's too late?

well, I'm not going to win any league but after a pretty dreadful season at least I can get a respectable finish!

 

[purves grundy]

Up to 24... thought I was on course to get first spot in another league, but the crafty bastard ahead of me hadn't used his wildcard until now - snagged himself 140 points

 

[marty21]

looking towards next season now, time to rebuild the team - lessons learnt - didn't play the captain well early season, and persisted with certain players who let me down frankly - also was a bit too quick with the wild cards, top 70 finish still possible though

 

[purves grundy]

also was a bit too quick with the wild cards

That's defo my lesson learned this time round...

 

[big eejit]

I'm in 2nd place, 3 points behind Go Stetsa.

Clearly Go Stetsa should win it from here.

(If it's good enough for Mancini)

 

[marty21]

won a tense 6 pointer with FC J Starfish in the head to head - up to 26th with 2 games to go after flirting with bottom place for several weeks

3rd place here, looking like less than 20 behind going into the final week. Unlikely, but seeing as I sneaked another league win from a similar position last year (last minute transfer Joleon Lescott getting 15 points+ solo iirc) I'm not quite willing to give up quite yet.

It's looking pretty darn good for the other 3 leagues I'm in outside of Urban though, And it looks like I'm prime position in the rufty tufty champions league=like Urban H2H to boot. Victory of some kind will be mine.

Damn you Van der Vaart

Its going to be an interesting final round. Luckily theres no relegation

 

[Puddy_Tat]

I can feel another coming on

 

[purves grundy]

3rd place here

Ah, that's you is it... you only just scraped a victory over me in the H2H this week, was hoping for glory. Changed my captain at last minute from vP to Rooney

 

[big eejit]

None of the reports of Man City's dramatic victory that I've read have mentioned that Aguero's goal also handed the Urban Fantasy League to Go Stetsa!

Well done on pipping me to the league title by 2 sodding points. If RvP hadn't picked a booking in Arsenal game I'd have drawn for top spot!

Very tight season - tighter than the Premier league in fact.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

it still says "in progress" here - are there still bonus points to come?

the title could still change hands in stoppage time

(and as things stand, I haven't made the top 50 - )

 

[marty21]

top 70 finish! - even though it says I'm 71st - I'm joint 70th

 

[purves grundy]

A poor final day... still, 25th is a cause for happiness.

Commiserations chap. It was a close run thing indeed. Never could quite make the final push to the top again myself - poised and within a few points I managed to throw any lingering chances away with my cursed transfers of Sagna and then Toure over the past couple of weeks. Not quite the impact hoped for.

Still, a creditable third for me and 1st in the H2H on Urban, plus three league victories elsewhere. (Almost) champions.

Congrats Go Stetsa!

Who is Go Stetsa btw?

 

[Corax]

My solidly mid-table mediocrity (49th) was actually the best result I've had in the ~4 years I've been playing.

So now the Euros! Has anyone found any good Euro FF options yet? The Official FPL site has taken prime position for the EPL game these days - what's the equivalent for international tournaments? The ones I've tried before have been pretty flawed and crap.

McDonald's fantasy football league.
Code is 112048-26292 if anyone wants to join.

 

[anchorage]

Head to Head is 112048-26311.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is that for Euro 2012?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

Meh. I think it's a bit late to wait for bonus points. 51st in the league / 29th in the H2H.



I'm in the process of joining the euro league thingy - Catford Feline State team now up and running. ("independent feline republic of catford" wouldn't fit)

and

Head to Head is 112048-2631.

is there a number missing? It doesn't like that, with or without the dot.

ETA - and hmm at having to adopt a team that plays in Europe. I've become a Stoke City supporter for the duration...

Should have an extra 1 at the end, sorry.

Rangers are in Europe. YES.

 

[AverageJoe]

I'm in. I found that quite hard to select 15 players with that budget.

I know sod all about any players outside the Prem, but I'm in late for the lulz anyway. Signed up with my spam trap BS Windows Live account, so I'm listed as my alter-ego 'Dan Yeats'.

Then stamato na tragoutho pote, Oee, Agia Pelagia Ole Ole!

Hate the McD's site, it sucks compared to the EPL one.
