Mark Our end of season awards polls come to an end with the voting in the forwards category. The poll is now live on the frontpage and visitors can now cast two votes for the strikers who had the biggest influence on our Fantasy seasons.
Voting will close on this in a couple of days with our team of the season review articles following very soon.
Analysis of the season. 191 cleanies 😯 That explains why the 3 man defence was more effective:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thefootballtacticsblog/2011/05/premier_league_sets_new_standa.html
Evening chaps, Does anyone here know how good Gareth McAuley CB is? he's signed for West Brom from Ipswich.
Evening all. Takes a lot longer to catch up on comments when you can't skim past the RMTs....
In case anyone's interested, I was looking at the top scorers from yesterday. These are all the people scoring in double figures. Other than maybe the Anderson bandwagon, not one that would have been a reasonable captain pick.
Defenders
- Lescott 15
Midfielders
- Tchoyi 20
- Zenden 13
- Anderson 13
- Park 12
- Downing 11
- Rose 10
- Hunt 10
Forwards
- Roberts 12
- Zamora 12
- Pavlyuchenko 12
We could have a guess at how much each club will spend before the first game of next season? 🙂
And less than 35,000,000,000 for Man City I reckon they'll keep the purse strings tight. 😉
I actually felt sad last night watching the end of season MOTD and knowing it was over haha!
Even though i cant post as much these days I read when I can, irony is I have more time now summer here!
Transfer nonsense to keep you going Retro? Who you fancy this close season at man U?
Ha ha! The funny thing is that I hardly follow real sport at the moment, much less play it. I have two kids under three, a busy job, and just moved house twice! Fantasy football is great cause I can tinker with it while I'm sitting waiting for my daughter to go asleep or patting my son on his back. Literally the only football I saw all season was two halves of Champions League matches!
haha I understand,impressed you have the time to post here! Im just finishing a course and havent had much time at all, thus slipping a little the last couple of months.
Moving twice?! Bad for your health!
Could always spend some time with the little uns 😉
Itll return soon....
Its a great game isnt it..annoys and pleases just enough to keep you hooked!
Very eloquently put Tom. Sometimes I'm faintly embarrassed to play it, but it's just so brilliantly done. And winning 80 euro paid for my son to go to the GP today with his cold 😉
I played for cash this yr and am owed some, but dont know the lads in the league, so Im hoping my mate rounds it up for me from the pot!
Nice finish btw you made the most of those hits!
Thanks! When my ranking was destroyed mid season, I stopped the rot by cutting out hits. Results were so unpredictable. For the second half of the season, the points were there if you chased them. Kuyt, Odemwngie, RVP even Lescott. The trick was to jump on the train and not be too precious about it. Or maybe it was all luck!!
Start collecting player information such as downloading the Opta data so that you are ready for the start of next season.
What date is the charity shield to be played?
Sunday, 7 August 2011
FA Community Shield
Man City v Man Utd, 15:00
There was only a MOTD this week-wasnt called MOTD2 wonder if that matters, its not normally up till Tue/Wed anyway I dont think....
anyone else have this problem?
using Google Chrome, go to Google.com and search for something.
when the results are displayed, click on a link, but it takes you to a random page. is this spyware on my pc?
been running checks............
Sounds like spyware to me. Mine works fine.
Sounds like something I had on my pc a while back. The malware I had also stopped my spyware / malware detection progs from working! If it is the same thing, try here:
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280684
Or google TDSSKiller.
Anyone know how to move all your firefox bookmarks to google chrome?
yes its in the options top right, spanner icon
Anyone else watching the youth cup final?
http://falive.octopusmt.com/
You beat Mark then Granville...nice one
A podcast to look out for this week?
Anybody has a link to MOTD? Or from where to download it?
THanks,
If its like MOTD2 itll be up tomorrow or Wed, but I suspect they may not be able to show it as its a full, normal MOTD....
i really hate that law though - catches me out several times a season!!
i need to role out some serious russian mind game styles..
If you're looking for the one of Sunday, try the pirate bay
warez-bb has it. Just google the site name.
cheers to all
What a goal from Ravel Morrison. Please get your act together sharpish because you are quality.
what are his chances in your thoughts...
also welbeck - i really like him man hope we keep him
thoughts on Kiko??
That's just what you get when you replace Cassano and Pazzini with Macheda and Biabiany.
Ravel Morrison is good enough to start getting games next season.
Weren't there some worries about his fitness levels? Looks alright tonight though.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn9yK7Cf5p8
'nuff said 😉
HAHA!! yeah fair play - i went fooking mental when that beast flew in!!
United were on a bad run and Liverpool had taken top spot back the day before. It was advantage Liverpool with anything but a win vs Villa.
United were 2-1 with 10 left and Ronaldo levelled it, but into stoppage time there was no goal. Then up stepped Macheda in the last minute to win it and break united out of their poor run of form and keep them top.
United went on a great run in the next few games, and I would say this was the goal which effectively changed it round and helped them win the league.
And let's not forget this was his first ever senior start for the club, with a finish like that, what a hero!
Lulz at City OTT party. Suprised it's not on Sky Box Office! 🙄
SSN, 'and Blackburn managager Steve Kean is on the way..'
Damn, stopped one word short! 🙁
work and live in manc town!! people flying past work all day - thought i avoided the madness.. only to find the bus going down towards ancoats street!! swiiiiines - : )
so is this giggs stuff for real, or just someone trying to stir things up and make money? if i were to ever pick a professional footballer who wouldn't, then it would be him - shocked.
no is it heck - its a total wind up - giggs would honestly never do that like
Although it would be pretty hilarious if it wasn't! 😆
it would mearly be un-foreboding truth laid out for all to beyond in its innocent beauty - i am way sure
ya, gotta love the english media, great timing. i swear, they're a major reason why their teams always fall short in the biggest games - it's like they want their own to lose, it's sad.
For English Media, Read; Neo facist Australian/American.
The daily mail were just surprised to find out that all Welshmen don't shag sheep......
Really?
No - Wallace & Gromit have got pictures of the threesome involving Giggs, Imogen and Shaun the Sheep. Read the full story in next weeks Viz
Just to clarify, that was mocking the Daily Mail, not Welshmen!
Peace.
I think you'll find you're on safe ground with either. 🙂
Reminded seeing him on the forwards poll, what do people think about DJ Campbell's prospects? Do you reckon he'll be back in the prem?
yep - i think he will go WBA - Odem will go to ..errrr... villa/ fulham??
Odem should stay where he is for at least another season rather than bench warm for some club that doesn't really need him.
That sounds alright, although whether he could be played up on his own like Odem has would remain to be seen. But would be good for someone to give him a go.
I reckon Odem could do a good job for anyone in the league - outside top 4 or 5 clubs who wouldn't look at him just because he's not a 'big name'. A long name, but not big
Lulz. We won't even consider anything under 8 figures.
Odem and Tchoyi should provide you with an entertaining season. A bit more solid at the back,which may be down to coaching,and a decent season looks to be on the cards.
tchoyi?what his background - dan?
DOB 29.01.83 Cameroon don't know much else. sorry.
I really hope so, would take 17th now though. We'll definitely become more solid at the back after Hodgson rebuilds in the summer, and I expect our home form to be good again so all the signs are already looking good for a good second season. I've already said though I don't think us and Wolves are both going to survive again, so Wolves down this time I'm afraid! 😀
Do you know anything about the CB you just got from Ipswich?
Not really, I remember he played against us about 4 years ago when we got thumped at home by Leicester 4-1. He scored I think and was very dominant that day. Time has gone on though so I don't really know how he has progressed since.
Apparently he has been poor for Ipswich this season but very good for Northern Ireland, and captains them. He can't be much worse than what we have though and with him and Craig Dawson signed at least we have two English centre backs! 🙂
Basically means that Meite is 100% going though....
Roy might keep everyone in preperation for europe the year after. 🙂 He did it with Fulham on a tight budget.
Hehe, I hope so.
Really do think we have a bright future as long as Hodgson stays as manager. I'm sure we will have doubters over the summer when we don't invest much but that is what he does best, gets the most out of the players he has when he can't go out spending loads of money.
Look at how he developed the likes of Zamora, Baird, Hughes, Hangeland at Fulham. Brilliant.
i think he might be back in the prem. Not a bad player at all
evening lads. I'm missing the fantasy footy already!!!!
OPTA STATA - PRE SEAASON TOURs - GIRLS...IT WILL PASS (i hope)
I doubt it for me!! Im a fantasy nut! Finished just inside 36k for anyone interested. My third season and my lowest rank. Bit disappointing but won my work mini league and scooped 150 squidleys!!
I guess I will just have to attack FIFA on the ps to take my mind of things until the new price lists are out and I can go mental with th RMT!!! lol
You might find you get a lot more support if you just attack FIFA. 🙂
team so far this season
schwatzer
lescott
huth
taarabt
valencia
.... expensive choice dont know
tchoyi
hernandez
RVP
and ODEM..
what we saying?
How much u think lamps will be nxt season? He def wont be 13mil again. Im guessing 11.5?
He'll still be expensive, 12.5 I reckon. His PPG is actually very good I think.
if Gerrard slips down to around 9.5 or 10 he could def be worth a shout. He still has a good season in him I would think
Hmmmm, we'll see, I won't be jumping on him or any Liverpool players from the off I don't think. Going to go with a 'safe' team from the start this year.
yeah i know what u mean. RVP is a must, suarez and bent look fairly safe options. Hoillet could be a good cheap 3rd striker. Would consider chicorito too if he is a guarenteed starter
Looks like there's another shitstorm brewing, with our FFS guvnor at the centre of it. Sad times.
http://europeansportsnews.paddypower.com/index.php?fn=Mark&ln=Sutherns&nc=FFS
17 out of 19 green arrows in the final run in.......rank went from 274,000 th up 2600!!! ready for next season and probably going to win the British Open in July too!!!!
Sir Alex Ferguson is confirmed as LMA manager of the year
Agreed. Man is a legend. Hopefully will bring us number 4 on Sat night
Evening all,
Must admit to no small amount of sadness to see the end of the season. Congratulations Utd.
Right now I've got that out of the way. Any soul been eyeing up prospects from the promoted teams?
QPR - Kenny and maybe Taraabt
Norwich - Hoolahan
Swansea? - De Vries, Williams, Sinclair
Reading - Shane Long
Oh that Taraabt chap looks jolly interesting. His price will be one to look out for.
I'll be avoiding most probably from the start.
Everybody knows about him, he will be a marked man.
Yeah, he's not going to get the kind of space in the Premier that he had in the Champ.
I'd rather Hoolahan. He is basically Norwich's version of Taraabt. On most set pieces I think and second to Holt for penalties I think.
Think Norwich are going to be more gung-ho than QPR next year too.
The Taraabt bandwagon started even before QPR got promoted. Evryone will have him. If his price is 5mil he can't be ignored I suppose
Depends if he's on set pieces. 15 goals & a similar number of assists isn't to be sniffed at.
Worthy of early consideration for the fifth midfield spot.
Occasionally he reminds me of that 'chemical Ali' character, yapping away to the worlds press about the invaders slaughtering themselves at the gates of Baghdad.
Press camera pans to said gates & no such event taking place.
Heh, aye. Thought the Fabregas statement of going to the spanish GP was very very interesting. City can't buy him.. can they??!
That would be a massive F**k you to wenger from cesc if he went to city. I have my doubts about him fitting into the barca team if he was to go there but I honestly cant see him staying at arsenal
Good to see someone not so completely blinkered by their own team and players Churchill, props! This site could do with more people like you!
rooney to neville on twitter -"hope ur commentating improves next year chunk"
nev to roo - "if you play like you did first 6 months this season you better put a helmet on!!"
roo to nev - "haha u have done me there I have no reply"
haha

They're getting me to do the rest of the stadium.
Evenin' Guys - Wifey can't understand why I'm feeling a bit low at the moment 'coz she doesn't get how this glorious obsession that is Fantasy Footie completely takes you over. I've tried explaining it but it's no use. I suppose I should try and get on her level, like saying how would she feel if her favourite clothes and shoe shops all suddenly went into liquidation and closed down, so no more dresses and shoes shopping. I've got the blokes equivalent: No more transfers to consider. No more season ticker to scrutinise. No more mini league battles to fight. Roll on July!

Now all these videos are coming out........ First Interview!
Hulse (when he plays I think) and Holt.
Taarabt and Hoolahan are next in line.
Am I gonna be the only one on this site not on the Taarabt-mobile? I'm gonna wait and see with him, think he's gonna go more the way Dorrans than Adam personally.
Being on all set pieces is the swinger for me.
If the fixture's aren't too kind on QPR in the beginning then i'll wait it out, and just get him after 5 or 6 games
Why not? People only saying that to be different with no reason to believe he'll be Dorrans Mk II. He won't be as marked as much as everyone thinks, because PL teams will be looking to beat QPR, not sitting back and negating Taarabt. He'll frustrate us, and get some 2 pointers, but he's capable of explosive scoring and is the heartbeat of the team.
I won't be going without him, in fear of missing out on massive scoring.
I don't think QPR will score many goals next season and be more of a solid team to beat at home team personally so won't be touching him to begin with, just out of pure preference.
Not saying I won't be getting him at any stage or that he isn't a good option but if he is 5.5 which he most certainly will be I'd rather go with someone more proven like N'Zogbia or Etherington from the start.
You're right, Norwich will surely score more. But Taarabt should do well.
N'Zogbia will definitely be in my team, 7m I reckon. Who do you think he'll be playing with?
Don't know. I hope he stays with Wigan, wouldn't be surprised to see him move abroad if I'm honest. Think he'll be cheaper than £7m though.
Works both ways, people are saying that because he did well in the championship, so did Dorrans and look what happened. He be as marked no, but Savage did a job on him, theirs plenty of mids in the Premiership capable of that too. He's a liability IMO, he lost a couple of times last season when things were going wrong, things will be worse next season and who's to say that side won't come out of him even more?
One page since 10 past 8 on here :'( Gunna miss this site during the summer. With no world cup and all that. Finished 19k. 55k last year.
Seasons goal was to finish top 25k. Top 20k is a bonus. Next season I want to primarily improve. Then hopefully get into top 15k and top 10k as a bonus.
