Hey guys, I made a fantasy league on the Premier League website if anyone is interested. Link to sign up is http://www.premierleague.com/content/premierleague/en-gb/gaming.html Name of the league is: TMB Fantasy, and the code to join is 884935-217589 Obviously it is unlikely we will see it through for the entire season, however it should be good for some short term shits and giggles.
I guess I am one of the few that can play the whole year but I guess since I dont have a rooting interest it is the only way I will stay interested in the PL
It's like clockwork for me in terms of forgetting about it. Really think it would help if they had a phone app.
Did pretty well in my first run through of picking my team. Got 15 constant starters so can I rotate when necessary.
I have set a new personal record for amount of time before giving up on this. I didn't even make a roster.
Anyone doing Player Exchange fantasy? playerexchange.premierleague.com You get 10k to buy shares of 10 players and try to build up the best portfolio by the end of the season. Seems like a fun idea.
Does anyone else use the strategy of putting a defender who doesn't play (and costs the minimum) into the lineup so that you can use 5 mids and 3 forwards? Worked pretty well for me this week (69 points with de Gea, Cole, Hazard, Torres having a game left), think I'll probably keep it going.
Benching Petric destroyed me this week, took a 4 point deduction to get two transfers in. Replaced Silva and Ramires with Hazard and Michu, hope it pays off.
What killed me this week is that a few of my starters didnt even start and the bench didnt get any minutes either in their respective spots
What's everyone's week 2 team? I had to use my WC this week because I'd already made 2 transfers when Aguero went down, so I'm not sure who I'm going with. For now, de Gea Cerny Vidic, Ridgewell, Chico, Cuellar, 4.0 nerd from Tottenham Nasri Yaya Michu Hazard McClean Tevez Adebayor Lambert Thinking about switching Yaya and a D for Clichy and a MF (maybe changing Ade to Ba so I can add Bale but unsure on Ade or Bale's form at the moment)
Feel good about my other midfielders so I'll sub out Hazard week 3, no big deal. I'm not going to ignore 5 assists in two games. GW 2 line up: Cech Shawcross Kompany Williams Riise Michu Hazard Arteta M. Petric Rooney Suarez
No one performed last week. My 4 bench guys scored 15. Here is my team Hart Sktel, Shawcross, Walker Silva (V), Pienaar, Britton, Larsson Aguero (C) (replaced by Tevez), Suarez, and Holt Bench: Begovic, Hangeland, McCartney, Cabaye
Dang man. I had Savic, Pogbrenyak, and Carragher on my bench. Heitinga and Ramires starting and I got 1 pt prior today not sure what I got from Ramires today. There was another starter who didnt get me points, want to say it was Silva.
