Fantasy Football Continued...

[Lie-in King]

Hi everyone! ♫ Here we are again, happy as can be, Internationals over, back to real footy! ♫

Sorry, not sure what happened there...

Anyhoo, off we go on the next round of fun, mishaps 'n' mayhem, with Game Week 10 starting tomorrow @ 12:30, Sunday @ 13:30 & there's an evening game on Monday 16th.

Thanks to Arky for his post of the League standings as at 5th October -

I intend to be making rapid upward progress - whether my teams agree with that is yet to be seen, of course...

Good luck & have fun, everyone! :-)

Afternoon LiK. Been casting an eye over the injury list and seem to have got off lightly with just one. Capitos picked as near as possible and have to wait and see whether I need contingency plan for the Sunday/Monday games. I have had a look back at my previous teams and transfers to see where my stroke of luck came from. :))

Good afternoon. Phew! I had to make some last minutes changes today, I can't have any Liverpool players in my team(s) today.
Nice one with the thread Lie-in King now we're back to proper football.

[Lie-in King]

Afternoon all - 4 enforced changes across my 2 teams today & no Captains for tomorrow unless I use more transfers this evening.

Heigh-ho...

[Arksided]

A poor outing for my teams last weekend and lost a bit of ground, a few changes needed to try keep up the pace without using too many transfers.
Also just to remind everyone Friday night football is back again as
West Ham United invite Brighton & Hove Albion KO is at 8pm.

The ref was vertically 15 yards away.

Cheers Arky, you beat me to it with the reminder about this evening's match :-)

My enforced transfers did ok-ish for me, I'm leaving them in for this weekend, fingers crossed...

Hi L.I.K, I truthfully can't imagine any managers have many players from tonight's game, however some may have the odd player to balance the books, so to speak ;-)
I'm not sure whether I'll be able to change anything before tomorrows 12:30 KO (Chelsea v Watford) so thought I'd sort it today. As captain seems to remain from the last one selected for the next games.

They've picked their heads up off the ground and they now have a lot to carry on their shoulders.

I'll be checking team news in the morning, just in case...

[Arksided]

What is the world of football coming to these days... Togo's taken top spot of our league. ;-)

[Togo]

Haha, give over Arks. Thing is I am kicking myself for not bagging more points on Sunday. Long story , but I managed to get myself locked out of my Sky account very early Sunday and was waiting for a verification process to take place so could not do my intended weekend transfer of a certain Arsenal player into both teams. I was even worried that the points gained in the late game would not count. I logged in this morning and went yeey..........damn.

[x-ray]

Congratulations Togo - nice to see a different name at the top of the League.
I thought I had done well with 100 points but it was still not enough to get me into the top ten.

[Lie-in King]

Well done Togo :-)

103 & 53 points for my teams - sigh...

[Togo]

With lucky Capito choices I mined 116 and 96 points for my teams, thing is had I not stupidly ( half awake early Sunday) locked myself out of my account I would have had an extra 16 points for both teams. The instructions I wrote to myself still sit on a sticky note on my mouse pad to the desktop.
Doh.

[Arksided]

I'll repeat ^ What is the world of football coming to these days
...an Arsenal player... behave!
Seriously though good on you fella as X-Ray says its good to see a new name on top, I'm almost keeping pace with plenty of transfers still available. 102 for the Dribblers and 88 for Hugo.

[-Talbot-]

Crikey you lot take it seriously ... just looked and one of my teams played with either 9 players or possibly 8 :0(

Hey ... at least I still have 99.9% of my transfers available ;0)

[Togo]

May I remind you Talbot :))

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

[-Talbot-]

I was of that mindset once, Togo ... not any longer though.

[Arksided]

It's a matter of life or death Bottal... pleased that you're involved. I for one is keeping an eye on you. 8-)

[Arksided]

oi... you weren't there before my last post.
