Eliteserien Fantasy- A New Game From the Developers of FPL

Did you think your summer would be dull without fantasy football? Fear not. The developers of Fantasy Premier League have launched a brand new game called Eliteserien Fantasy.

The game will feature the Norwegian top divison. The site is currently only in Norwegian but it is fairly easy to register and use if you are used to FPL.

The concept and rules are the same as FPL, the only differences being no chips and there’s a  ‘man in the stand’  for bonus points.

The season will have 30 Gameweeks between April and November. A third of the season will be played during the off-season in FPL so this game could soften the summer blow for Fantasy Footy junkies.

Already 58 players have  joined the FFS league, including FPL legend Ville Rönkä. The league code is: 3769-1041

In this article I will take a look at the 16 teams and the players to keep an eye on.

Rosenborg

Having won ‘the double’ two seasons in a row, there is no doubt who is the gigantic fish in this pond. Both league titles have been comfortable with a tally of 69 points, an average of staggering 2.3 points per game. The Rosenborg domination is set to continue with the acquisition of Nicklas Bendtner (12.5). Not only is the insane Dane the most expensive player in the game, he currently also sits in over half the teams.

Mixed results and a few injuries during the pre season, there remains uncertainty around the form of their key players. Rosenborg meet Brann in a face off between last year’s top two teams on March 29. This may give us some answers, or pose more questions as it will be the first of four games Rosenborg play in 10 days. This fixture congestion could be a good reason to overlook the pricey Bendtner for now.

Top 3 targets: Mike Jensen (10.5 MID), Fredrik Midtsjo (8.5 MID), Nicklas Bendtner (12.5 FWD)

Brann

After a shock relegation despite being title contenders in 2014, Brann bounced straight back up the following year. They used that momentum and enjoyed a successful return to the top division, eventually finishing second. Brann’s excellent defence is expected to do well this season as well, especially as Piotr Leciejewski (5.5) might be the best goalkeeper in the league. Early investment in Brann players could pay dividends as their opening few fixtures seem favourable.

Top 3 targets: Fredrik Haugen (9.0 MID), Vito Wormgoor (5.5 DEF), Torgeir Børven (9.0 FWD)

Odd

Starting last season with six consecutive clean sheets, Odd laid the foundations for what turned out to be a third place finish and Europa League qualification. The last 24 games only saw three additional clean sheets but Odd will nonetheless provide excellent defensive options. Espen Ruud (6.5) might prove to be the most essential player in the game. To go along with his nine clean sheets, the right back also managed five goals and eight assists last season.

Top 3 targets: Espen Ruud (6.5 DEF), Fredrik Nordkvelle (9.0 MID), Sondre Rossbach (5.5 GK)

Haugesund

Expect the unexpected when Haugesund are playing. One season they battle for the Europa League places, the next they fight for survival. Given they finished fourth last season, this year their assets may be best avoided! Defensively Haugesund are not much to write home about. Their midfielders have to bear the burden if they are to replicate last year’s form.

Top 3 targets: Haris Hajradinovic (7.5 MID), Erik Huseklepp (8.5 MID), Ibrahim Shuaibu (5.0 FWD)

Molde

Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s second period as Molde manager has failed to reach the heights of his first stint at the club thus far. Back then he led Molde to back-to-back titles, whilst his latest reign has resulted in 6th and 5th placed finishes. With a wealth of options in every position, picking the right Molde players could be a minefield. Solskjær’s preferred tactic seems to be resting players from time to time. Heavy investment in Molde’s assets is probably best avoided to start with.

Top 3 targets: Bjorn Sigurdarson (9.0 FWD), Sander Svendsen (8.5 MID), Mattias Mostrom (6.5 MID)

Sarpsborg

A stable mid table team for the last couple of seasons, Sarpsborg normally go about their business quietly. They do not concede many but they do not score that many either. In fact, their most prolific attacker finished 40th in terms of attacking returns last season. Big things are therefore expected of the attacking minded Krepin Diatta (6.0), an easy on the eye Senegalese U20 international who arrived last month. A Sarpsborg defender could be a must have as they managed 13 clean sheets in the last campaign, with nine of them coming on home soil.

Top 3 targets: Krepin Diatta (6.0 MID), Sigurd Rosted (5.5 DEF), Jonas Lindberg (5.5 FWD)

Strømsgodset

After being a top side since the beginning of the decade, Strømsgodset found themselves finishing mid table last season. They produce fluent attacking play and are a joy to watch, especially at home. Jonathan Parr (6.0) provides us with a potential OOP option. Listed as a defender, the former Crystal Palace and Ipswich left back played a lot on the left wing last autumn. The signing of the experienced left back Stian Ringstad (5.5) could mean a permanent shift to the wing for Parr.

Top 3 targets: Jonathan Parr (6.0 DEF), Marcus Pedersen (10.5 FWD), Lars Vilsvik (6.0 DEF)

Viking

There is not much buzz around Viking at the moment. Kwesi Appiah (7.0) has been signed on loan from Crystal Palace. Despite only being 26, this will be the striker’s sixteenth club in his senior career. Whether he can settle in and finally make it count remains to be seen. With an unfavourable set of fixtures to start the season, overlooking Viking options for the opening might be the best solution.

Top 3 targets: Kwesi Appiah (7.0 FWD), Julian Ryerson (4.5 DEF) Samuel Adegbenro (7.5 MID)

Aalesund

Highest goalscorer from last season still in the league this term is Mos (8.5). He will undoubtably be key this year as well but he is not the only threat Aalesund pose. Most of their goals in the pre season have come from set pieces. Centre back Mantyla has scored three goals without even starting a game but it is another centre back stealing the limelight. Daniel Gretarsson (5.0) has also scored three goals from his four starts this winter. However, Aalesund do concede a lot of goals so any defensive investment has to be purely because of their set piece threat.

Top 3 targets: Mos (8.5 FWD), Edwin Gyasi (7.5 MID), Daniel Gretarsson (5.0 DEF)

Vålerenga

Being the only representation from the capital, Vålerenga have failed to live up to expectations for a good few years. This season they have hired the services of former Celtic manager Ronny Deila. An attacking minded leader, Deila made his name at Strømsgodset where he took the team to league glory in 2013. After years of struggle to get permission and finances to build their own stadium on their side of the city, Vålerenga will finally be moving to their new home mid season. This will likely give them a solid boost throughout the season.

Top 3 targets: Ghayas Zahid (10.5 MID), Mohammed Abdellaoue (9.5 FWD), Markus Nakkim (5.0 DEF)

Sogndal

Gilbert Koomson (7.5) was the only assister in the league to reach double figures last season. However, that is a steep price tag for a player in a team that most likely will be in for a relegation battle. Sogndal had a good defence last season but the latest results in pre season do not exactly look encouraging. Still, if they can replicate some of that defensive form then they have several decent budget options in their team.

Top 3 targets: Matias Dyngeland (4.5 GK), Bjørn Utvik (4.5 DEF), Gilbert Koomson (7.5 MID)

Lillestrøm

Celebrating their 100 years anniversary, Lillestrøm will be hoping they avoid the dogfight this time around. They were dead and buried with five games to play but managed to survive by collecting 11 points from those games. Most of the players are very generously priced, probably reflected by last year’s finish. Lillestrøm should be competing for a place in the upper half of the table. If they manage to do that then there are a few potential bargains in their squad. Daniel Fernandes (4.0) has impressed in pre season, if he can nail done a starting spot then that provides us with an excellent budget goalkeeper.

Top 3 targets: Daniel Fernandes (4.0 GK), Bajram Ajeti (6.5 FWD), Chigozie Udoji (6.0 MID)

Tromsø

Defensively Tromsø are not a good unit. The onus will be on their attacking play. People will recognise Morten Gamst Pedersen (5.5) from his time at Blackburn. After struggling with injuries last season, the set piece specialist is set to claim a place in the centre of midfield. Some calmness in the middle of the park may be exactly what Tromsø need as their passing accuracy of 68.7 % was the worst in the league.

Top 3 targets: Aron Sigurdarson (6.5 MID), Sloboan Vuk (7.0 FWD), Morten Gamst Pedersen (5.5 MID)

Stabæk

Stabæk were favourites to go down in 2015 but thanks to the heroics of Bob Bradley they managed to finish third. During that summer they lost top scorer Adama Diomande to Hull, whilst Bradley left before the 2016 season. Stabæk barely recovered from those losses and somehow just about managed to survive. They are in for another tough season but they do have a couple of cheap prospects to keep an eye on.

Top 3 targets: Moussa Njie (5.5 MID), Luc Kassi (6.0 MID), Hanche-Olsen (4.5 DEF)

Kristiansund

Thirteen years after the club was formed, Kristiansund won the second tier and gained promotion to the top division for the first time. The promotion campaign was thanks to a good defence and a red hot striker. Daouda Bamba (6.5) scored 20 and assisted twice in 28 games. The Ivorian is young and fearless, and is sure to be amongst the goals also in this league.

Top 3 targets: Daouda Bamba (6.5 FWD), Aliou Coly (4.5 DEF), Sean McDermott (4.0 GK)

Sandefjord

Also gaining promotion prior to this season, Sandefjord are favourites to go straight back down. Genuine fantasy options are therefore far and few between, however they might provide a couple of bench fodder options. Seven defeats and no clean sheets in nine pre season games tells they are in for a very rough ride.

Top 3 targets: Erik Mjelde (6.0 MID), Andre Sødlund (4.5 MID), Flamur Kastrati (6.0 FWD)

    So is anyone getting any Middlesborough for DG34?

    If so who?

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Just Downing for me

    2. Black Panther
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Heaton ➡️ Valdes if I've got a spare transfer, already own de Roon, not sure who I want to bench for him though.

  2. Spokey
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Bakenga will probably be on bench. Rosenborg is playing 4-3-3 so he will not play as sentral striker (until everyone sees how bad Bentner is). Knudtzon got injured last game. Dont know how bad. You could do Bakenga and Knudtzon to Abdellaoue and S.Svendsen. Molde like to rotate, so a little risk with Svendsen, but could become very good also. Abdellaoue have been getting injured often, but has been good preseason and is a top player.

    1. Spokey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Was supposed to be replay on last page 🙁

      1. Stokelona
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks for the great reply spokey, couldn't bring myself to get bentner and thought bakenga's record looked good. But if he might not play, he can't score, a bit like D Sturridge. I shall probably go with abdellaoue then and look into the Knutson situation.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I bet Bakenga ends up Rosenborgs top scorer.
      Can't see Bendtner not finding himself bored in a small town in Norway and thinking 'a drink would be great now'....

      1. Stokelona
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Totally agree! He couldn't score in the championship this season and don't know how motivated he'll be. Only thing is he'll be sure to hog the centre forward position and take the pens and free kicks, a bit like a rubbish Zlatan.

  3. Sangomango
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Nobody is talking about midtsjo at Rosenberg. Is he any good?

    1. Sangomango
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Is he a winger?

    2. Creedey
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He is really good. He's up there with Mike Jensen, and the price difference tells me to go Midtsjø over Jensen to free up some cash.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Aye, But do you also have Helland?

        I've been toying with the same idea.

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Jensen was on pens before I think, I guess Bentner will be now, so might be a good idea actually...

  4. Creedey
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is Sander Svendsen (Molde) a great differential? Seems like nobody has him, and he will play up front, alongside Sigurdarson.

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Great talent, and will hopefully get his breakthrough this season. Classified as a mid in fantasy, and at 8.5 he could be a good pick if he plays up-front. Solskjær might start Karlsson with Sigurdason a few times though, and I'm not sure I'd want to spend 8.5 on someones who's not a sure starter.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'll just add to the Sleep talk.
      Hej
      He is only 19 so wont and should not play every game, massive talent though. Scored 4 this pre season.
      Last years stats: starting xi 14 times, subbed off 12 times, Started on bench 16 times, subbed on 12 times.
      Scored 4 assisted 4. So featured in 26 games, not bad at 18
      Of course he is one year older this seson so number of starts should increase.
      In the 2015 season he got 8 goals and 3 assists after featuring 26 games of which 20 starting.
      He seems to be one of those few that could leave for much bigger club in future. Maybe make a stop at either Malmö FF or FC Köpenhamn to earn some CL experience(if Rosenborg don't get back in to it but I fear that will take som years.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He also has experience from CL qualifiers(3 games), EL qualifiers(3 games) and Europa league group stage( 4 games).
        Only 1 goal though, in a EL qualifier.

        1. Creedey
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks!! I guess I should bring in someone else then. Looking at Zekhnini instead maybe

  5. Creedey
    • 10 Years

    RMNT!

    Kristiansen (Dyngeland)
    Hedenstad - Ruud - Wormgoor (Albeck, Moe)
    Midtsjø - Svendsen - Koomson - Sigurdarson - Njie
    Abdellaoue - Bendtner (Flo)

    Cheers 🙂

      • 9 Years

      Good defence. Though not sure if Albeck is nailed. Could play though. Rosted is a nailed Sarpsborg defender if not.

      1. Sleep Talk
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Albeck is their new right back right?

        1. UnitedFan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Not sure

      2. Creedey
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

  6. Eze Really?
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Never really looked this far ahead in terms of suspensions, but there are some concerns over key players hitting the 10 yellow card mark around GW34 and GW37 anyone on 7 are in danger of being wasted if things don't go right. Rose Costa Pedro Sterling come to mind. Stops me from planning too far in advance.

  7. LegendMoon
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Finally half happy with my team.......so just need you guys to tear it apart !!!!
    What do you think?

    Leciejewski (Fernandes)
    Berge Ruud Vilsvik ( Moe Strande )
    Jensen Huseklepp Helland Midtsjo ( Sodlund )
    The Lord Sigurdarson Flo

    Thanks guys

    1. Speédy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      - 4.5 keeper instead of leciejewski
      - defenders tend to score more points,play 4 at the back ,get in wormgoor,rosted/albech,hedansted ,remove berge
      - attack looks good,rosenborg fixture congestion a worry with 3 attackers

      1. LegendMoon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        thanks for this, i've taken your advice and now have Dyngeland in goal and wormgoor in for Berge, this also allowed me to upgrade Flo for Lindberg

    2. MrKlin of Norway
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Berge Ruud - Double ODD vs. Rosenborg in GW1? Quite a gamble in what is the City-Chelsea match of Norway.

      Jensen Huseklepp Helland Midtsjo... thats 3 from RBK, and I see you have the lord as well, how on earth did you get that sorted, is it a different Jensen I've missed? Still, the above gamble applies.

      I like your front lines though, looks solid provided the lord performs as expected.

      1. LegendMoon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        yep you are right it's a different Jensen - he is now gone however and I have Diatta in his place also Berge out for Wormgoor due to GW1, thanks

    3. VS10_
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Assuming that Jensen plays for Odd, then you have 4 outfielders who are unlikely to score any points. Don't think Strande will play much at all, Sodlund has been in and out, Flo will mainly be used as a sub. Jensen hasn't featured in pre-season for Odd and when he played last season (DM) 0g+0a.

    4. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Much Rather have Dyngeland instead of Leciejewski, Keep Moe and get Wormgoor + Rosted/Albeck for Strande +Berge, far too much Rosenborg for my liking, The Lord should suffice. Helland + Midtsjo out for any other high price mids you fancy e.g. Nordkvelle, Haugen.

      1. LegendMoon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You'll be pleased to know Dyngeland is now in place, as is Wormgoor, Berge and Leciejewski out!! thanks for the advice

    Right, highly unofficial "League Table" for the winter friendlies, just to sum up how season prep has looked for all the teams. Do remember that the level of opposision etc. makes these numbers very shaky, it's just an indication...:

    2) Molde: 2 point average (6–2–2 matchstats, 26–14 goal difference)

    4) Odd: 1,9 point average (6–1–3 matchstats, 26–15 goal difference)

    5) Rosenborg: 1,875 point average (4–3–1 matchstats, 14–8 goal difference)

    6) Sarpsborg 1,833 point average (7–1–4 matchstats, 21–12 goal difference)

    7) Stabæk 1,818 point average (6–2–3 matchstats, 19–12 goal difference)

    8) Strømsgodset: 1,8 point average (5–3–2 matchstats, 20–8 goal difference)

    9) Viking: 1,8 point average (5–3–2 matchstats, 20–13 goal difference)

    10) FK Haugesund 1,5 point average (3–3–2 matchstats, 14–12 goal difference)

    11) Aalesund: 1,375 point average (3–2–3 matchstats, 16–11 goal difference)

    12) Brann: 1,333 point average (3–3–3 matchstats, 11–10 goal difference)

    13) Sogndal: 1,3 point average (4–1–5 matchstats, 13–18 goal difference)

    14) Tromsø 1,25 point average (3–1–4 matchstats, 17–14 goal difference)

    15) Kristiansund: 1,25 point average (2–4–2 matchstats, 8–8 goal difference)

      For those who enjoy pre-season stats, I'd like to remind everyone of a twitter post that was shared on here earlier, giving an overview of all the top scorers in the friendlies:

      Great work. Had planned to do this myself today.
      And as you say, opposition differs widely from the likes of Sjakthar Donets, Spartak Moskva, Zenit down to division 4 teams.

      Maybe one should look at doing this but only with the matches are from top 2 leagues in Norwa, Sweden, Denmark plus top league in Finland.

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

        Not 'are from' but 'against'

  9. MTPockets
      7 years, 7 months ago

      On Occean (Odd). Noticed that Agdestein has joined Odd from Haugesund, where he was league's joint 4th highest scorer last season (10 goals, same as Occean). Guess this may impact output of either/both?

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        That's a bit strange....

      2. Ramboros
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Occean is a much better striker, and Agdestein is like Zaki. He scored a lot of goals during half a season, and then went completely silent. Haugesund is renowned for creating overperforming strikers. Agdestein will likely play some games when Odd play two games a week, but otherwise Occean should play every game.

          Busy with school these days.

          Nailed on for me: Fernandes, Ruud, Hedenstad, Vilsvik, Zahid, Midtsjo

          As for the rest, anything can happen. Hopefully Brann-Rosenborg tomorrow gives some clues.

              Tempted by Jensen but might only go with Hedenstad and Midtsjø from RBK.

        Play Flo(FWD) vs Sarpsborg or Rosted(DEF) vs Sogndal?

        S08 have signed Swedish striker Erton Fejzullahu. Has a good record in Allsvenskan (Swedish league). More competition for Lindberg and others. Cptcrunch probably knows more about him.

        Tromsö have signed young Ghanaian left-back Patrick Kpozo from AIK. Some competition for Antonsen.

              Quite spread out - maybe the defence is where money can be saved. Thanks 🙂

                  Taking just Eliteserien results, only Rosenborg & Viking are in best 3 for clean sheets both seasons. Odd, Molde then maybe Sarpsborg (not consistent) & Vålerenga after that. Brann & Sognal ok but only last season to fairly compare.

                Yes, do those moves as Diatta apparently hasn't arrived in Norway and played with the team yet. Maybe Coly as that 4.5?

                    Not sure whether it's a good or bad thing. Maybe ask someone more familiar with this league.

                Not at all. You're basically relying on Brann and RBK to get you points. Spread the risk.

                Why Borven? Waste of money when you could have Mos or Abdellaoue or any other striker really... I would also get rid of Helland for any other midfielder tbh you already have two other RBK attackers. Or get rid of Bendtner and keep Helland and Midtsjo.

                Good overall. If you want, you could downgrade Helland to Midtsjo to strengthen your frontline, though maybe it isn't necessary.

            • Boydinho
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Interesting player to be added in Sarpsborg. Forward Erton Fejzullahu (played 5 times for Sweden, 2 goals and 1 for Kosovo) arrives from China. Good goalscorer and plays either as a No.10 or No.9

            • Knekke Brød
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Which 5 teams do you think will have the best defences this season? And who is the better Rosenborg defender: Hedenstad or Meling?

              1. Speédy

                • 7 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Rosenborg, Odd, Strømsgodset, Brann and Lillestrøm I think will be closed at the back.
                Hedenstad or Meling is easy at the start of the season, Meling has been out with a concussion and is not completely match fit just yet, Hedenstad takes some corners and indirect freekicks and only has a youth backup on right back posision.
                Later in the season this may turn though, as Meling is tempting for an OoP role with all the midfield injuries behind the first choices.

              What is the general consensus on best third striker? Right now I'm looking at Omoijuanfo, Mortensen, Ajeti, Kastrati, Lehne Olsen, and Bamba... Confused is an understatement. Should I just go with pre season form and pick Omoijuanfo?

                I like Ateji. But this is a big question, everyone's got different ones. Bamba looks good too but has some tough early fixtures.

              @Team cruel & FPLDreams, are you guys going 4,4,2 or 3,4,3?

              This is the one thing I can't decide on...!

                I guess what I'm asking is ;

                A) Hellend and Shuaibu (3,4,3)

                Or

                B) Vilsvik and Midtsjo (4,4,2)

                Undecided. Currently on 343 with Omo as 3rd striker. Got a strong 4th def on the bench though.

              Sorry guys I'm full of questions tonight!

              Who is everyone's 4.5M defender pick?

              There's a few nice choices....

                • 7 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Depends. Utvik seems to have good fixtures and a reasonable defence around him, but lots of options around. Ryerson is OOP but also has bad fixtures to begin with

                  7 years, 7 months ago

                  Sigurdason (Tromsø) looks like he was benched/subbed more often than not last season, despite 3G/5A.
                  Max 6.5m alternative mids with attacking potential seem to amount to:

                  Thrándarson (AAFK, 6.5m) - 3G/5A, 23 starts/6 subbed on.
                  Jradi (SIF, 6.5m) - 4G/2A, 26 starts @ LSK.
                  Nwakali (SOG, 6.5m) - 3G/4A, 21 starts/1 subbed on @ Start.
                  Barmen (BRA, 6.5m) - 5G/0A, 24 starts/1 subbed on.

                  Ibrahim (VIK, 6m) - 2G/6A, 25 starts.
                  Kassi (STB, 6m) - 4G/1A, 21 starts/2 subbed on.

                  Ernemann (VIK, 5.5m) - 4G/2A, 19 starts @ S08.
                  Nielsen (S08, 5.5m) - 2G/4A, 23 starts/5 subbed on.

                  Assuming price is meaningful & accounting for getting games - Thrándarson, Jradi and Ibrahim seem most appealing. Anything particularly good or bad stand out with these, or pot luck? Cheers

                        Yeah maybe. Hard to know as 10G/5A last season but playing for Ullensaker/Kisa in lower league. 1G/1A in 2015 for Lillestrøm from 11 appearances (2 starts/9 subbed on).

                        I need to have a look through the pre-season info above, otherwise wonder about getting games.

                    News from the clubs for tomorrow:
                    - Wormgoor (Brann) won't be playing due to ankle injury, expected to be ready for GW1 though.
                    - Bendtner (Rosenborg) will not start the match, combination of resting for league start and not quite match fit yet.

                      Right, there have been some questions if there are any places you can catch match of the day equivalents for the league, and I don't have an answer for that. A poor-mans substitute is vglive.no though, live scores and some match updates during the games. You can scroll back through the dates to check earlier games there, showing the format and see if it will be of any help to you at all, might need some translate but better than nothing I guess.

                        Update: I suggest going back to Sunday's Northern Ireland - Norway match, that will be the most representative to level of detail from the Eliteserien-games.

                        Notice you tipped Aron Sigurdarson. According to this he was benched a lot: http://www.altomfotball.no/element.do?cmd=player&personId=312941&tournamentId=1&seasonId=338&teamId=315&useFullUrl=false

                        Was that just due to injury? Thanks

                        Until the game admins get their stuff together I'm trying to get a handle on unavailability. Sharing my efforts here, appreciate any input/innsight:

                        Any good replacement for wormgoor (doubtful) from the Brann defense. Looking for an attacking def, probably right/left back!
