Fantasy Football League 2015-16

[elbows]

And so in this my first season of fantasy football I find myself again preaching from the gospel of 'don't be too afraid to make transfers'.

I had a look and including these final ones I've made 80 transfers, 45 of which cost points. So I think I spent 180 points. I probably regret/wasted 40-60 of those points over the season, but I've still managed to get myself up to a reasonable overall rank, and I had lots of money available.

OK even for those not sold on this gospel, consider at least the new testament that declares 'at least don't be afraid to spend points optimising for big double-game weeks'. For I have seen the light in this regard, it shon brightly into my soul by delivering over 100 points on both weeks. Testify.

Join the H2H next year...see how transfer mad you are.

If I'd managed to stay in the cup for more than one week then I'd have got a better taste of how severely head to head stuff would cramp my style.

Based on the way I try to resist transfers each week and then end up going for it with gusto, I suspect the H2H won't cramp my style that much, and may provide just the right amount of brake to my transfer impulses. So Just the 160 points on transfers next year then

Mind you it was a pretty wacky premiere league season so for all I know with a bit more consistent form across a range of clubs another year might see me reaching a stable team more easily?

 

[starfish]

H2H is much more fun than normal league. Less ringers.

 

[wavey davey]

As you may know I only get on here about once a year to let you all know that I have renewed the league!

Lots of reasons why, which are not worth going into on a public forum, but that's life.

Anyway, can I hand over the admin of the league to someone who is still a regular here, and a bit more reliable than me?

All I need is your manager name in the league to be able to transfer the admin.
All you need to do is set up a team next year and the league should renew itself. Then just let anyone you want to join know the code.
Anyone who was in it the previous season should automatically re-join the new season.

Ta.

Happy to do it davey - and thanks for doing it in previous years. Manager name is butchers apron (with the gap), team is Maz Holz Players.

Thanks butchersapron.
I will still join in, just it saves me trying to remember to let all you good people over here know the new code.

All done!

 

[butchersapron]

All done!

Nice one - and see you in the game next season!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell, I've just realised I habitually made my transfers this morning even thought the deadline isn't until tomorrow.

Let's hope no-one overdoes the Eurovision celebrations

I did my one in the week as wasn't sure if i'd be home and sober over weekend - and i did wake up today thinking the games were later this afternoon.

Already staring down the barrel of having no team to obsess over? Worry no more with the Euro 2016 version

Yeah it was 1pm yesterday before I realised that no, the grand finale was not a few hours away.

Bah despite all the money I amassed I still ended up 0.1 short of the team I wanted for this week in the end, couldn't jiggle it around to fix so ended up with Defoe instead of Vardy.

Payet isn't playing!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Payet isn't playing!

So my captain isn't playing and my three Man Utd players have had their match abandoned

 

[Lord Camomile]

Interesting, my Man Utd players have been given points as if they played 90 mins in a 0-0 result

Hmm...my opponent had a man u captain as well. Have to wait and see if that changes.

 

[butchersapron]

Now they seem to have wiped them.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Now they seem to have wiped them.

I just saw that!!

And of course my opponent has Fabregas captained...

 

[Lord Camomile]

And he's got Bertrand too!

My whole season is going into meltdown. Three Man Utd players not playing, my captain not playing, my three Spurs players might as well not be playing, and two penalties scored for my opponent by players who have done nothing of note before now.

This is a cruel, cruel game...

 

[butchersapron]

Sluggers looking favs to me now.

 

[Lord Camomile]

HOW THE FUCK ARE SPURS LOSING 4-1 AT ST. JAMES' PARK??

My mum's a Spurs fan, historically I'm a Toon (tho have fallen from the flock some time ago). Neither of us are happy today.

5-1?!?!?!?

 

[elbows]

Comedy lack of points this week.

And the fantasy computer system is probably melting too, doubt they've got it programmed to handle this scenario so the status page currently still lists todays matches as being live.

Important information

• When the Manchester United v AFC Bournemouth match is rescheduled it will remain within Gameweek 38. Automatic substitutions and the final fantasy points will be updated after this fixture is completed.

It's hard to tell what the position is with so much end of season confusion. I think I've won my game but not sure what El Quixotes' result will be.

And now they know they can't finish above City Man U will play their B team. So if you have Man U players you could be fucked.

So you mean my defender, midfielder and forward...

I fear a comedy of chance has lost me this match, and thus the title. Still, it's not actually just this one match, have had a whole season to win it. Bit of a barmy end, anyway!

either that or they try for the 19-0 they need...
