Baggio Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Good day so far apart from Cahill not playing, assist for Ronaldo who's captain and James, Distin, Ferdinand and Evra all keeping clean sheets. Laursen in the Villa game and the rest play tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I did well, but Laursen and Mellberg I've totally fallen out with. Twats. How dare they not make me pick them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I had Toure, Distin, Cesc, Tevez, James and Barry. Got Anelka and three City players to come tomorrow - picked them all to try and throw some of my bad luck over them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 This thing is starting to feel increasingly futile for me because everyone's teams are gradually becoming the same so no matter how well I score, everyone else who's still trying will score well as well. I might pass a few people who've stopped bothering and no longer update their teams, but I don't think I'll ever make any signifcant gains from my current position because everyone above me pretty much has 6~7 of the same players I have. (And the high scoring ones, too) Basically everyone has Ronaldo and either Gerrard or Fabregas, and some combination of Barry/Bentley/Petrov/Elano + Maybe one low cost midfielder (usually Dempsey) and some combination of Laursen/Distin/Lescott/Ferdinand/Cambell/Vidic in the back, and either Green or James in goal. There's a bit of variation in strike forces, but that's only because they're the least efficient cost-per-points so a lot of people are willing to cut some corners. Ultimately the game just seems to come down to who can best guess the form players of the season before it starts, since after we're a few weeks in it's dead-on easy to identify who's going to have a good year. I mean, not that I'm expecting super-depth from a free web-based fantasy game, but still... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good defs cost about 2/3 what good strikers and mids do and deliever points about as if not even more consistently. I've gone 4-5-1 because I figured shelling out on two quality strikers is a waste of time. As efficient as good midfielders are, I'm even considering 5-4-1 since defenders are so dirt cheap.
