Anyway....we need more than just 4 people in the league...hopefully more will join this week....

I've joined, although my lack of footballing knowledge has led me to simply picking players I have heard of as opposed to those who may be good :P

I want Zidane to come back, so he can just go around headbutting random players.

Preferrably starting with Beckham, and preferrably with a solid steel helmet.

Injuries are no fun.

Especially if you just put him in your team. After his injury. Meaning I get no points and I am missing a striker I paid 10 mill for.

Less than happy.

As for Rooney? He's Manc scum

Vonners...Leeds fan...whose club starts the season with -15 points thank you very much.

Sorry. A bit grumpy about all this now. LOL

LOL fair enough...

You score point on how well your player does in the real EPL matches....

You can transfer players but pay a points penalty. You can play a wild card and change as many players as you want with no penalty.

I put John Terry in my team, even though he is currently injured. Knew it would be just as easy to keep him there than to pay the penalty when he comes back...

Thank goodness I left Rooney out though. That one would be a tough one to deal with

I point blank refuse to partake in anything Premiership-based, seeing as my team managed to stay in the championship playoff zone right until it mattered, at which point we lost a bit an missed out. Again. If PNE don't make it into the Premiership soon it'll be fucking ridiculous, even without Nugent :(

At least you're not starting the season with -15 points!

Ooh, burned LUFC! Preston, however, just lost to Morecambe, which is far more crushing a blow.

Rooney AND Owen? Bad planning on my behalf :(

Wait...How come our league hasn't had any points? All the other ones I'm in have...

And yes, thats me at the bottom...

You might have missed the deadline for that game week...

It's because the NS league only started on gameweek 2. Only the points from week 2 onwards are counted.


Edit:oops, that's not the case at all...
Rubiconic Crossings
15-08-2007, 16:40
It's because the NS league only started on gameweek 2. Only the points from week 2 onwards are counted. This is also why me and couple of other players started with -4 points; I joined the league first and only then made my weekly trade - thus -4 for me. Nice!

I'm afraid I can't change that...sorry!
Bunnyducks
15-08-2007, 16:43
It's okay! I wasn't complaining. And scratch that as a reason for my -4 points. I made two trades. as simple as that. I forgot.

Bloody Rooney....grrrrr

Indeed.

Well, Drogba costs the same and probably scores more. I thought he was supposed to be injured still, but he has made a miraculous recovery.
Krahe
16-08-2007, 14:43
Thank goodness I chose Drogba as my captain. Got me 22 points for the Reading match!

Terry back this weekend, Gerrard injured but still playing. Rooney and Ronaldo out for a while. Should shake some teams up a bit!

Oh bloody hell! I've got Ronaldo as well! Bloody useless feekn Mancs!

:D

Only Mancs I have are van de Saar and some defender (sitting on the bench currently - got him just to fill out the roster). Have a feeling I'm going to need to do some adjusting as the season goes on though - have a number of players from newly promoted teams, and I don't think they'll do well over the whole season...

Its wrecked havoc on my team...I had Rooney, Ronaldo, Martins, Pizzaro, Petrov, Gerrard and Butt .... my defenders - crap.

So I was playing the Brazilian card...score more goals than you let in...

Just to let you know, Gerrard is going to play this week, but will likely be out for a couple weeks after that...
