Fantasy Football Continued...

[Lie-in King]

Hi all! Another Cup break over & a restart for the thread, the last of which is here -

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Sport/Football/Question1532649.html

Matches tomorrow kick-off at 15:00, with Watford v West Ham at 17:30. Don't forget to check Sunday & Monday times in case you're making daily changes to your captains.

Now, off to the murky world of the transfer market, see if anyone needs to be moved around...

Good luck, keep having fun! :-)

We’ll have more football later. Meanwhile, here are the highlights from the Scottish Cup final.

Hi Lie-in King, back to normal for most but not forgetting That Southampton v Arsenal and on Sunday ManCity V Man United are postponed due to the EFL cup final on Sunday afternoon.

I've been consistent in patches this season

Arky - ta for the reminder :-)

Hmm, I had to ask for my quote to be italicised, I thought it was the apostrophe but I see yours was ok - do you know if it's the full stops it doesn't like? Not a big problem obviously, just looks a bit naff when they don't work.

We do have a little Answerbank league running Dilldev. Lie In is chairman and I leave it to him to give what details he sees fit. ie. pass word etc. We have some fun at times as well

[Lie-in King]

Hi DillaDev - yes, started here -

You can follow the threads backwards from today's link in the OP if you're interested. :-)

[Togo]

Just a thought Dilldev, unless you have a team entered in the Sky Fantasy footie I am not sure you can access it anyway. It needs Sky log in first.

[Togo]

I will wait until the last minute to effect what transfers I can. If I put someone in tonight he will choke on his breakfast or do a cruciate going to the loo.

Lie-in King, yes it is the apostrophe, I've noticed in the past that it was the only punctuation mark on a quote I copied and it didn't work in italics, so I just re-type all punctuation marks.

If you don't believe you can win, there is no point in getting out of bed at the end of the day

Cheers Arky - so C & P it then retype the marks? I'll try it here...

I nipped in this morning, shifted a defender that had somehow managed to be on negative points & a keeper who seems to have developed an allergy to footballs - he certainly doesn't seem to like getting his hands near them.

We got nine and you can't score more than that

I made the best transfer yet this morning with Kane and also made him captain....44 more points in the bag

[Arksided]

I have a defender that has not even being introduced to a football, but that's the price to pay for a mostly lacklustre but expensive midfield :-/

All that remains is for a few dots and commas to be crossed. Mitchell Thomas

[Arksided]

Good move X-Ray... I was too busy even to change my captain today... getting desperate now depending on tomorrows fixture Champions v the Pretenders ;-)

[Arksided]

Anyone of you still involved in the 'Knockout cup' you are automatically entered into it, both my teams have been swept aside... just curious if any AB league member is still in it?

[Togo]

Knocked out this weekend Arks. Bad weekend all round. The postponed games did for me with missing players and no transfer back up to supplement them. Ah well said the soul, ahh soul said the well.

Aww bless Togo, one of my teams was doing rather well in the cup... but some jammy *person managed to knock me out with a good week even though they had a far inferior points score overall.

[Lie-in King]

I kept forgetting to look, but my teams were knocked out in weeks 21 & 23.

As for this week's lack of progress, despite tweaks here & there I'm still stuck there & thereabouts (I'm practicing "being vague", like a real manager!) & will have to reconsider a few positions for next weekend.

I'd been ill and hadn't trained for a week and I'd been out of the team for three weeks before that, so I wasn't sharp. I got cramp before half-time as well. But I'm not one to make excuses
Clinton Morrison

[Arksided]

Lol same here mate being Vague... and not understanding why my players are under performing??? The mystery will continue until I change them ;-) I will post our latest league Table before the weekend.... Kick-off between Man United and Bournemouth is at 12:30 on Sat.

I'd like to play for an Italian club, like Barcelona
Mark Draper.

I'm sure that has being posted before but still gives me a chortle.

[Arksided]

Hi all, I did post that I'd post our latest league as the last one has gone... however with some good fixtures coming this weekend I'll post it after this game week.

[i] My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their ***g perch. And you can print that. [i]
Sir Alex.

[Arksided]

I don't think that Sir Alex used the word fluffing. :-)

Redwing? (^_*)
