Took out Sinclair for Petrov last week as he was doing feck all. Still, relatively happy with my performance this week. Had a feeling Rooney was going to put in a motm performance today so I stuck the captaincy on him..would have paid off if the cnut stuck the penalty in, didn't hit the post and set Berbatov up at the end..alas.
The Real Caftards Fantasy League 2011/12
- Thread starter Rood
- Start date
I changed captains from Rooney to Aguero as well.
I'm 4th, but you are a bastard Nick mate, I don't know how I'm going to beat you, you got all the big hitters in my team as well
Would have had a shite week this week, bar Nani and Rooney scoring.
Took a major hit and decided to make some massive changes, I now have a frontline of Adebayor, Rooney and Aguero
I have used my wildcard.
^ I also have the same front line. Plus I still have £2m in the bank. So if Adebayor stops performing, I have the money to bring back Suarez.
P.S. I have changed it again. Now I have Gabby in for Adebayor. I don't know who to choose. Bent is doubtful for the next game which means Agbonhalor will definitely start up front but Adebayor will be more consistent over the course of the season.
And is picking up VDV a good option or should I pick Mata instead?

Adebayor when fit will score and play every game because Spurs remaining strikers are a joke, Agbonlahor is more of a flavour of the month player in my opinion. Saurez behind Ade, because his tendency to dive and get into rash fouls means he'll get loads of yellows and also miss games due to suspension.
Mata over VDV in my opinion because while they may both be equally productive, VDV is prone to injuries and also because Chelsea are more likely to get clean sheets, the extra point tends to add up a lot.
If I confirm a transfer before weekend, can i change again before the game day or it'll cost me?
I like it better if sign players, put them on my team, change formations and stuff. I guess i'll have to wait
I moved up 18 places after the last gameweek. 16th atm.
Will Dzeko start for City?
Probably
Hang on, why does the league now start scoring from GW2!? I had a decent week in GW1!!!
Rood decided that with the log in problems and so many people having been unable to make changes it would be fairer to start from week 2.
Well I will be surprised if I make it to 35 points this week. The worst week ever.
I'll be lucky to hit 30 points
An absolute shocker of a game week, think I'll be losing the top spot this week
To me it seems Nick!
Currently sitting top of every league I'm in.

What a waste of points. Rooney was my captain.
Only dropped 1 place so far, Rooney was my Captain but Nani is Vice so I'm waiting on 7 extra points and maybe a cheeky little bonus perhaps?
Pretty awful week all round...
Edit: Update at 20.00: When will they add on the substitute captain's points & any bonuses then?

fecking Ruddy and his "concede goals and get booked" antics. Thought I was on for some decent points from him.
The less said about Seb Larsson, the better.

Just to clarify, as I'm a bit unsure of the rules. If we put Rooney in our team as captain, despite the chance that he won't play against Norwich, should he not play, he will be automatically substituted, and the captaincy passed on to the vice captain?
In other words, it's worth putting him in your team anyway, right?

Ye - although you do lose out if he comes on as a late sub and just plays a few mins which has screwed me a few times in the past in this kind of scenario.
Up to 6. My new acquisitions are doing the business.
ditto...
Up to 5th with a few players still to play. Get in!
Might have clung on to 1st, not sure, but not a good week for pj's 11
I find it barely believable that I am up to 16th, I have improved my position every week so far and bonuses still to come!
I'm coming to get you PJ
I'm coming to get you PJ
Don't worry, it's purely beginners luck & I know it won't last, I'll enjoy it while I can!
There'll be a fair few people coming to get me this week! By my calculation Nick and Philip are only 4 points behind me
Had a very good weekend up from 45 to 28. 60 points could have been allot better if Nzogbia/Ramirez/Taarabt and Aguero got more then 4 points between them.
Tell me about it, twice I saw Rooney with 8 points at his feet and twice I saw him miss the chip...
Edit: Up to a barely believable 13th...
lets have a look at the shittest 10 Caftards so we can all laugh at them:
89 a_devil_inside Slip Digby 41 266
90 x42bn6 Virgin Spambot 49 265
91 Real IBleedRed Matt Benevento 47 264
92 Urbanned's Heroes Bradley King 38 262
93 Maverico Jesse Mach 33 260
94 Grayson's Barmy Army Mike Law 49 260
95 OohAhCantona King Eric 39 249
96 McCool XI mccool mccool 32 238
97 Big Red XI Blayne Keogh 42 234
98 Jonno's Misfits John Wilson 36 230
99 F**k off, Rufus! Cider Man 39 230
Interestinly the last 2 winners (Maveric and McCool) are languishing in the relegation zone showing it was just a one off fluke when they won!
and Ciderman currently in the wooden spoon spot, obviously too busy on other fantasy games ...

3 points behind you, PJ, after a pretty poor week, I need to make a few changes before the next round I think, freshen things up.
Not sure whether or not to take out Taarabt, he's done feck all so far but I've got a feeling that he'ss suddenly going to turn amazing.
Yeah I'm thinking doing the same with Taarabt and Nzogbia both done feck all. I know as soon as I get rid they will start to have great seasons.
Between injuries to Rodallega, Sagna, injury worries about Aguero, wanting to do some changes, etc, I played my wildcard and made 7 changes. Now I've got a starting XI of Begovic, Shawcross, Ashley Williams, Bosingwa, Steven Taylor, Nani, Nasri, Anderson, Silva, Rooney and Dzeko.
Someone send me the code please. Was sent it last time but it wouldn't work.
Would it be a stupid idea to make a couple on transfers now? I know there's ages til the next matches but I've got my eye on two players whose value could possibly increase before the next round and it will take all my budget now.
I never usually do transfers this early but on this occasion it might be necassary.
Oh yeah, just realised that I haven't even kept up with this league as my team is different to the one I've used for years. I'll have a look now. Not made a single transfer I don't think

Thats probably because you didnt follow instructions in Post1
also how many points do you have? Im not allowing any late entries from people who have waited to see if their team does any good or not!
This might be right so someone else feel free to correct it but I think you'd be better off waiting in case they get injured etc. I don't think the values of players increase until after each gameweek so the price they are now will still be the same before the deadline.
