Sunday drops the curtain on our Fantasy seasons, signalling that itโ€™s time for us to free up the part of our brains dedicated to the fortunes of our squads. Our thoughts and energies can now turn to such pressing matters as DIY, gardening, cleaning the car and spending time with our partners and friends. Alternatively, we could pass the time picking the bones out of the season passed.

Letโ€™s go for option B.

Our end of season coverage kicks-off next week, with plenty of ideas up our sleeve to help you into June and July, when the pre-season friendlies and transfer merry-go-round will have us pondering selections for the 2011-12 shift.

Things start now with our Team of the Season awards โ€“ a process weโ€™re opening up to you guys. Weโ€™re going to be running polls to gather your views on the players that earn acclaim as the leading Fantasy Football figures this season. Just to be clear, youโ€™re voting on those players who had the biggest impact from a Fantasy perspective โ€“ taking their points tallies, price and performances into account. Your votes will help shape our thinking for the Team of the Season awards, with coverage coming your way early next week.

We start proceedings with the voting for the Goalkeeper of the season. Few introductions are needed for the candidates on offer here, so you can get right down to the voting. Youโ€™ll find the poll on the front page above this weekโ€™s Captain Poll. Voting the goalkeeper of the season will close on Thursday morning.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          Why? Are we not meant to be voting for the players who've had the biggest impact in our own teams? If not, then surely the final team will be virtually identical to the dream team - and so, fairly pointless.

            Scrap that. I had him for a few weeks early on, but swapped him out for Hart.

            I'm voting for him because even though he's never done much for my team, he's defnitely been best value pts per price wise.

            My main two keepers this season (not at the same time) have been Hart and Cech. But they've regularly been beaten by Foster (just!) by the odd save point. However, losing one or two points to Foster was never enough for me to need to get him in, there was always a much more pressing transfer at the front.

    Can we do a flop team aswell? My vote goes to Coleman! Scores points on my bench. Get me the classic 2 or 1 points when i start him. Classic Seamus.

      Was thinking that too, and maybe a team of players u love for FPL, whether their good or bloody useless, ie Kolarov, where it that sentence he belongs is up to u! ๐Ÿ™‚

        I would put Coleman in that one too Goose. Sometimes he's come of the bench with double figures. Sometimes i've lovingly started him and he's got nothing. Then i've transferred him out, only to find myself weeks later needing a cheap Def and bringing him back in.

        I've not had Kolarov at all this season. So if there's one player that has defined me, and I will remember the season by. Its young Seamus and his totally random scores.

    OFF TOPIC ALERT

    Now I'll start by saying I have already googled it, I've not found anything particularly great so you can save yourselves the lmgtfy.com lulz. ๐Ÿ˜›

    Starting an internet business, is there a good site which gives you a list of guidelines or advice as to the key things to keep in mind when constructing the site (SEO etc)? I'm getting someone else to design the site, so I am requesting a quote from them to cover as much as possible.

      There are alot of books on the subject.
      I barely looked into the possibility myself last year but any Library or Bookstore should have what you need.

      Dont know of a site.

      I am a web designer and have to consider SEO and UI stuff in every site design & build, so if you have any specific questions, lemme know and I can probably help? (Or if not, pass you onto someone who could)

        Great, thanks. Well as I say I won't be developing the site myself, but I have to request a quote to have the site up and running. I'm a real layman though so while I know what SEO is and how important it is, I don't know what UI is.
        Basically I'm looking for just some of the key fundamentals that a site needs to be successful, so I can ensure that the web developer is going to cover all the bases.

          Ah ok i see. sorry, UI is user interface (posh term for how the site looks and works. If you can wait a couple of hours I can send you an email about the basic requirements for a good SEO structure?

          Some of this advice may be dependent on what your intentions are, so if you're interested in this at all then send me an email with any general details about your site to my spam account at organdonor_47@hotmail.com and I'll get back to you from my uber-professional gmail one.

          Most boring post i've ever written, apologies.

            Thanks for the help, as I say I'll be using a company to do the site, I just want to make sure that they have all the bases covered and we don't have to go back to them repeatedly to do the job.

    My team of the year:

    Foster, Baines, Hangeland, Huth, VDV, Nani, Adam, N'Zogbia, Yaya Toure, Odemwinge, Tevez

    Just wish I'd had more of them for more of the season.

      hard to pick a team for the whole season when it really was one of two halves.

      First half - Carrol, Tevez, Elmander, Nasri and Nani
      Second half - Odemwingie, Kuyt, Lampard and RVP

      For me the team of the season overall is
      Foster
      Baines - Hangeland - Huth
      Kuyt - Adam - Nani - Van der Vaart - Toure
      RVP - Odemwingie - Tevez

        no way Kuyt, he just started scoring 5-6 weeks ago. Surely Nasri or even Young over him for the season.
