Fantasy Football Continued...

Hi all - the International break's over so the Premier League & our thread can restart - we were here -

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Sport/Football/Question1539817.html

The Merseyside derby kicks off tomorrow at 12:30, with the rest of the games scheduled for 15:00 & S'ton v B'mouth at 17:30. Sunday sees 2 matches, at 13:30 & 16:00.

After that, another full 10 matches are scheduled for Tuesday/Wednesday so don't forget to keep on top of any changes that you want or need to make after the weekend.

"Against the run of play", I need a flood of points now to see me with at least a top 10 finish, so fingers crossed...

Keep having fun!

I'm officially doomed now!
The last 2 matchday weekends have seen me hit hard by injuries and suspensions and with no transfers left since February one of my teams currently has 5 players and the other 6!
Going down going down going down!

You will bounce back. Boing Boing. :))

I all I have a couple of transfers left for both teams but not willing to use them unless its a season ending injuer... but Hazard Ali and now the Lhama are winding me up, almost tempted to swap Zlatan but I'd have bring him back in.

I'm going to make a prediction - it could go either way

* yep I have an hangover re-reading that confirms it. ;-)

[Togo]

Well I have done what I can with very limited resources. Capitos changed and sweating on injury warnings. Will check on the early game to make sure I have missed nothing when the teams are announced on Sky. Hope you are all good and glad, as I am, to see our lovely football back.

Togo, seems like a lifetime ago doesn't it. We're (United) up against some friends of AB this afternoon Hopkirk, Mighty, Piggynose to name a few the 6-6 draw in SAF's last game was one of my favourites. We have to topple them today... fourth spot is at minimum a wanting prospect.

[Togo]

Yep and you know that any side managed by Pullis is gonna be as tight as a ducks arris, and that's water tight.

[Arksided]

Not one to be sent to the bar... indeed. ;-) Hopefully Jose won't park the bus today.

[Lie-in King]

Captains changed & I too am holding back on transfers & hoping for favourable pre-match reports on fitness. Poor lambs.

Well Clive, it's all about the two Ms - Movement and Positioning
Ron Atkinson - fave of the day it seems :-)

If anyone's looking in, a reminder that you've about 1 hr 20 mins from this post to make any changes before tonight's 4 matches - there are 6 more tomorrow as well...

Already logged on and just waiting for team news from Sky LiK. Capito juggling all weekend and more to do now.

Jon Motson.

[Togo]

Well despite having no room to manoeuvre and a zero transfer kitty, I managed to glean a few points tonight. I thought I was doing well and then Totting Ham made a Lazarus like recovery. I am sure that LiK is a closet fan of the Lilly Whites so he will be glowing. Doh.
" Don't just do something.......sit there"!

Yes a few desperately needed points were acquired with Ibrahimovic's late penalty on Tuesday. On Wednesday I was so tempted to make Hazard Captain but in a doh moment opted for Sánchez. At least I'm not alone stumbling down the league, a couple of AB friends instantly spring to mind ;-)

As a reminder early KO tomorrow Tottenham Hotspur v Watford is at 12:30.

My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f------g perch. And you can print that

Morning all - just under 1 hour left to make today's changes - I've made a couple of switches, hoping to stop the dramatic plunge down the table!

Togo - I prefer the Lilywhites to certain other colours but am really a Blues man :-)

I cut it a bit fine today thinking I'd done all I can yesterday... but Jeff Stelling let me know after I'd finished I had 2mins 34 secs remaining

[Togo]

Again done what I can, capitos were changed but hasn't worked well this week. Last week I was able to switch them around all weekend and midweek because of how the fixtures fell. This week I am a bit restricted. Sorry for the "slur" Lik, I thought you were a Totting Ham follower. I must have misunderstood a previous reference. Still I Flushed the truth out. :))

[Arksided]

Oops sorry folks I will post our AB league after this game week has commenced.

Well options are a bit thin on the ground this weekend what with the FA Cup semis and injuries. I only have 4 players involved so points are not going to be flooding in, I could even register a minus. :((
