The RedCafe Fantasy League 2013/14

Do we reckon Michu will be a bit of a one season wonder?

Could trade him in for Hazard, but advantage of Michu is that he's classed as a midfielder but plays up front. My front 3 are quite weak so I'm banking on my midfield to score regularly...
 
I reckon Kagawa could be a steal this season. Rio at 5.5 is quite handy as well. Put them in after our tough start is over.

Also poor Villa, their first two games of the season are Arsenal and Chelsea away within 5 days of each other. :lol:

I was wondering this as well. Think it's party dependent on the Rooney situation how much game time he gets. Even if Rooney stays, if his head isn't right then I'd imagine we'd be playing Kagawa behind the front two, but not sure I'm confident enough to go for him. At the moment my team is:

Mignolet

Rafael-Nastasic-Coleman

Coutinho-Hazard-Mata-Walcott-Noble

Giroud-Rodriguez

Subs: Davis, Clyne, Turner, Deulofeu

Thoughts? Wondering if it's worth taking a hit somewhere to shoe-horn Bale in.

That's a bit similar to mine really. Except I put RVP in there and sacrificed a bit in midfield. Rafael's suspended for the first couple of games btw so might be worth going with someone else for now. We also have a very tough start so I'm not expecting too many clean sheets from us.

Cheers, noticed the Rafael suspension and took him out. Will put him in later down the line as he's useful going forward and cheaper than Evra. Also didn't realise Chelsea and Villa had a double game week to start. Now going for:

Mignolet
Luiz-Nastasic-Coleman
Hazard-Mata-Walcott-Coutinho-Noble
Benteke-Rodriguez

Subs: Davis, Deulofeu, Clyne, Turner

No doubt it will change another 1000 times before August 17th.
 
De Gea - Jagielka, Luiz, Riether - Walcott, Coutinho, Lampard, Kim - Gayle, van Wolfswinkel, van Persie

Subs: Foster - Barnett, Shaw - de Guzman

Any thoughts?
 
Can I please get the code too mate?

Team name is CEE90.

Cheers.
 
Sent a pm.
Team right now is:​
Begovic​
Evra Zabaleta Jagielka​
Mata (c) Cazorla Kagawa Hazard​
Deulofeu Van Wolfswinkel Bony​
Bench: Lewis, Shaw, Bolasie, McNaughton​
​
Not sure if I should keep Deulofeu. No idea how Martinez plans on using him, but given that he is number 10 I expect he'll get plenty of opportunities.​
 
Team at the moment, subject to transfers:

GK: De Gea

LB: Baines
CB: Kompany
CB: Zabaleta
RB: Rafael

CM: Snodgrass
CM: Pienaar
CM: Wilshere

RF: Anelka
ST: Van Persie
LF: Berbatov

Bench: Price, Dawson, De Guzman, Sissoko.
 
This has probably been asked several times before, but what is the logic behind forcing people to use their Caf usernames in their teams? I'd like to join the league but have no interest in changing my details.

in the past there were people in the league not from redcafe, or people didn't know who they were .This way you can tell

But if you PM the code you won't get outsiders. Someone could also just make a small list in the OP saying who's who.

Ye well I did make a list in the past and then I couldnt be arsed because it is time consuming so we switched to putting username in the team name - even then people started giving the code out to others etc and it all became a bit of a mess

fresh start this season and well done to gaz for volunteering to sort it, much easier to deal with this way - I think it makes for a better league when everyone can see who is who

RedCafe is about talking to each other. We have names so we know who we're talking to, the RedCafe league is no different.
If you just want to join a Manchester United fan's league where everyone is anonymous there are bleeding thousands of 'em, go ahead.
If you want to start an alternative RedCafe league for anonymous people, same thing, go ahead. But count me out.

I see hp88 has entered into the spirit of things.
 
So who is likely to be the first choice back line for United this season?
 
Rafael and Evra for the fullbacks although Rafael is suspended at the start of the season, not sure if it's one or 2 games he misses.
Vidic is just starting his pre season but it's hard to predict which 2 will be used, Ferdinand can't play every game but him and Vidic are still our best two.
Smalling is probably behind Evans, as for Jones I haven't a clue where he will play
 
Yes Please.

Username: Dracula Dracula
Team Name: Dracula's Teeth

Finished in top 10 for first time last year, looking forward to this year. Can I have the code please?

Username: Rooney1987
Team Name: Bradford PA
 
My team atm:

Mignolet
Mertesacker-Coleman-Clyne/Collins
Bale-Walcott-Hazard-Coutinho-Mirallas
Lukaku-Rodriguez

Subs: Davis, Clyne/Collins, 4.0 defender, Anelka

That midfield! Hoping that Lukaku plays regularly at the start of the season, which I think he may unless Chelsea get a striker. My strikers aren't great but I make up for that with a pretty good midfiled I think.
 
Mignolet
Zabaleta Shawcross Jagielka Evra
Carrick
Mata Sessegnon
Michu
Berbatov van Persie
--
Given; Philips; Lucas; Baker​

Let's have it!
 
Would you be so kind as to PM me the code, please?

Team name: Accrington Steevley
 
Think I'm gonna take a punt on Nani. Only costs 7.5 and if he stays he can be one of our key players and main attackers. Switched out Kagawa for him because while I think Kagawa will play loads, I think Nani would get more points given the minutes. Changed Deulofeu for Anelka because I have no idea if he'll be first choice or not, and then Ivanovic in for Jagielka and Mignolet in for begovic.
Think the team should be sorted now.
 
I think Nani and Kagawa are both great value but I'm waiting to see how we lineup in the community shield before putting either in. They've both had disrupted preseasons so I'm not too sure they'll start regularly at first.
 
A:
Mignolet
Zabaleta-Collins Coleman
Mata-Hazard-Walcott-Snodgrass-Noble
RVP-J.Rodriguez

Bench: Davis, Gayle, Clyne, B. Turner

Or

B:

Mignolet
Zabaleta-Collins-Coleman
Mata-Hazard-Walcott-Coutinho-Noble
Lukaku-Bony (or other 8m striker)

Bench: Davis, Gayle, Clyne, B.Turner

I do think Coutinho will do well this season. Lukaku has the double game week first thing but then Chelsea will miss a game in week 3. RVP very expensive but wondering if his solo contribution will be better than two mid range strikers in Lukaku and Bony.
 
How much does everyone think Soldado be available for providing he does end up at Spurs?

He's certain to be first choice and not as expensive as Van Persie, possibly cheaper than Aguero and Suarez too. Could free up some funds to improve a cheap midfielder for me or leave a couple of mil in the kitty to see who's performing after a couple of weeks
 
Everyone looks set on Mignolet.

OP, can I just put RME at the end of my team name? I'm gonna be in a couple other leagues and I'd hate to be "Ronaldo's Mum Eh"
 
Could I please get a PM for the code if there is one?

Username / Team Name will just match my forum username.

Cheers.
