Cheers Sync, for the reminder....
Just to throw a spanner in the works, when I signed up it said I could renew last seasons league, so I just said yes to it anyway, I don't know if it'll invite everyone as they sign up, but either way theres the one that Browneys done for us anyway.
My team are in. We will win this year :)
making my team now, must defend my crown!
p.s someone have a word with those in charge, get us Badges for this, I'd love a reigning champion one :D make everyone try harder too?
I'm in again as last year was great fun:)
Will be a lot trickier this year too as most of the "good" players prices have gone up but the budget has not.........means looking around for some bargains, or us all finding a wealthy new owner!!
Will have to raise an immediate objection to George though.........my team will be scared to death of those kit colours let alone your players:D

Never had a bash at this before - looks like fun :)
Very hard to pick a balanced team given the restrictions and knowledge (or lack) of the players.
Roll on the start of the season :boxing:
aye i made a team and entered - ill probably end up not paying attention to it again ^^

And its a very large spanner, we now have 2 leagues....
Just made my latest bright pink kit! You'll all love it as much as the last.
The credit crunch has really hit FPL, the players are ridiculous!
Ireland was Ã,£5 mil start last year, now he's Ã,£9mil!
Quote from: Browne;283348And its a very large spanner, we now have 2 leagues....
It chucked me in last year's as well......are we going to enter both or all migrate to one?
team entered, should be fun :flirty:
Lets have a think about this one, how could we utilise 2 leagues? Ideas?
No idea, but just incase anyone that didn't play last year wants to join in the clearly cooler league, heres the code for mine - 59248-18117
:P
ok I've joined - I joined the league at the start of this thread :)
I think George is trying to out do my Kit in sillyness!

Ok...
To summarise the situation
The site you'll be wanting is - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/ (http://fantasy.premierleague.com/)
The codes you'll need to join in are - 59248-18117 which is for the standard league & 59248-122661 which is for the head to head league.
Moved, top post edited...Roll on a sweet victory.
Spurs 3, Olympiakos.....0.
Quote from: outofsync;281837I'm sure someone will be along to explain the difference soon...
Ok, the difference is -
The 1st league (Dead League Walking) is a simple players get points/game, points are added together, most points at the end of the season = winner.
The 2nd league (H2H League Walking) is a team v team deal, i.e. my guys play Bennys, Bennys boys score more points that week, Benny gets 3 points.

This is one of those moments when you say "Jebus, I wish I had thought of that first".
However, there is no real purpose in the second league, is there? So, can it be deleted?
You can kill it if you want Mr B, I didn't mean to steal your thunder when I redid last years league, it automatically added peeps as they joined again.
Heads up for this weekend folks:woot2:
If you are like me you may still be debating which of the six teams that are all truly marvellous will you actually settle on before the weekend?.......well we haven't got lomg now so make that final selection and "Let the Games Begin":boxing::boxing::D
I'm in a similar situation to you Dingo, apart from the fact I don't think I have 1 team I could pick that I like let alone 6.
Hi Guys: Would the following teams and their owners please sign up to Dead League Walking, instead of Farfing:
Werder Buffaloroam kev kelleher DONE
Tony Tigers Hasbeens Simon Dewey
Sparko Athletic Chris Jarvis
The signup code is 59248-18117
There is no point in another league, so I'm going to delete it (If I can)
done :D

I've been updating it for the last 2 weeks and no bugger has talked any smack....c'mon, man up, let's talk football.
Defoe - England hero or flash in the pan?
Liverpool - One man team?
Man U - Had their day or timing their run?
Arsenal - Can anyone really support a team named after a bum?
Pompey to go down (pompey fan admitting it here)

Dafoe's always been a good forward & with a manager like Harry that's gonna make him feel like the best player on the planet he can easily be top scorer & the man too partner Rooney for England.
Liverpool, 2 man team I'd say, I don't see them managing to do much if either or both Gerrard & Torres are out for any time.
ManYoo look light to me, I'd like to see 1 more CM & CB, Hargreaves would fill the CM if he ever gets fit - he'd bring a bit of steal that there missing, Ferdinand's getting broken too much these days & the constant chat of Vidic wanting to go play in the sun & not the rain of Manchester doesn't seem to be going away & with only Evens as backup, it's not so good.
Arsenal will be ok till a team works out that if you tightly mark the midfield & close em down they havn't got a plan B.
.........................
So, Foster, next England keeper or has his shaky performances so far put that in doubt?
Can Spurs keep it up, or will they fall apart after xmas?
That's all I got for now.
Hull fan - pleased everyones written us off (again) this season - we have more firepower than last year in Jozy Altidore and Ghilas, plus back up for defense, a better midfield and bullard will be back in September - I think we are good enough to stay up again this year - but it'll be close again.

My concern with Spurs is they might fall apart once someone realises that you need to attack them. Although, can't complain with top of the league!
Someone pointed out this morning, there's a lot of dross in the premiership now...
Birmingham
Hull (fish)
Stoke
Burnley
Wigan
Bolton
Billericay
So with that lot, the Spurs should be fighting for Europe this year. A strong center defence and a couple of wing backs and we'll be there. I'm not sure about Ledley playing every other week, it doesn't look quite right.
Benny I know your relaying someone else's points but you obviously endorse them and I have to take exception with this type of elitism - calling those teams dross is very blinkered and ignorant.
So how do you expect teams to improve? Its tough establishing yourself in the Premiership.
Do you really want the same old teams in season upon season?
Lets not forget Spurs where languishing in the bottom half of the table for much of last season - have won nothing for years and have virtually no chance of winning the premiership in the near future.
So how does that differ from these dross clubs you mention? Spurs are no Man U or Chelsea and I'm sure you'd react where one of their fans to regard Spurs as dross.
Spare a thought for fans of these 'dross' clubs' - who are living the dream and having their 15 mins of fame - don't begrudge them that and lets also not forget these dross teams are the 'wildcards' of the premiership - often surprising the big teams - Hull did it last year as did Stoke, this year Burnley are doing it.
Spurs thrashed Hull a few weeks ago and if you asked any Hull City fan they where privledged to be at the game and see Spurs put on a masterclass - having nothing but praise for Spurs fluid attacking play - surely theres room for all different styles of play and the reality is some of the clubs in the premiership aren't ever going to be as good as the long established ones but they have earned their right to play there - whether you or others think they are dross or not.
I'll just step down from my soap-box and I await your considered response :narnar:

Aw, c'mon Dewey, you must have noticed the fishing comment in brackets knowing I'd drag you in here.
The fans of the clubs that make up the premiership are what keep it going. If I was a 'lesser' team supporter I'd be extremely chuffed to watch my team take a big scalp and finish mid to lower table. I know the smaller guys have no chance, it's all about divisions within the division.
You have the top 4, you then have the European scrap, then the mid table battlers and finally the 'you're getting relegated unless you're lucky' guys.
I think it's the guys in the middle that have my sympathy. As a Tottenham fan I live on the European fight which we always promise and rarely deliver.
How to improve? That's a really difficult one, as I think everyone must see, money is the answer. You have it, you spend it, you win. Is it that simple? You may get a run and a few wins but without depth of squad with decent players in reserve you have no chance.
Personally I'd rather the likes of Wolves, Stoke, Burnley & Hull (not fishing this time) were in the league as opposed to Southampton...
Change is good, but I'd like to see someone come up, stay up and compete but as you say, how do people get better?
Here ya go....

Beatty and Hall still dominating the league.
huge jump up the league from me with the highest points from this gameweek :P
Your a bit premature with the old score board there Benny, still 3 games left to play this weekend.
whats going on! 4th! :yahoo:
also, glad Diaby isnt in my team :whistle:
EDIT: balls he is. no points lost though

My performance is like that of Lpool - plunging into the abyss.:sad:
My team is full of crocks, suspended and dropped players. Sell one of the muppets and he scores a bleedin hat-trick, loads of assists and thats just the goalie.
Buy a 'good' player and the booger becomes a lazy, stupid ne'er-do-well who has difficulty standing up.:ranting2:
Ne'er mind ay! Theres always next week :)
Sweet, I'm happy with my performance considering i joined late (and know jack poo about football) :D

Wow what a crappy week that was for me!
Was anyone lucky enough to have Defoe as captain? that'd be 1 storming week if you had.
I think as I don't use any players from Arsenal, Man U or Chelski (It feels wrong to have some sort of good feeling with big fat roo sticks the ball in the net)
I can be very pleased with my team's performance!!
Quote from: RizZy;297251Was anyone lucky enough to have Defoe as captain? that'd be 1 storming week if you had.
25 points....but alas I chose Fabregasssss
Quote from: Benny;29725825 points....but alas I chose Fabregasssss
Same here.
Anyone had a look at the scores (especially mine) for this week. Rooney FTW!
Sold Torres and bought Rooney on Weds :D
Aint looked at outcome but 4 goals should help a bit :yahoo:
I was hoping I'd done quite well this week having Fabregas & Rooney, but looking at the scores it seems everyone else has them in there team too.
I've snuck into 1st place :D only just tho
the league table as of today.

Go Tox:thumbsup:
What a terrible week, and now everyones friggin' injured, I don't see myself holding that spot too much longer! :crying:
Indeed :) Shove over, coming through.
latest table as of 9th April.
(http://www.robchie.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/table2.png)
My word, this has to be competition of the year, a whisker is the difference, a lucky choice for tevez as captain sees me sneak the lead.......
All square at the top! This is a fantastic league, go on the Deadmen Fantasising.
Any chance that we could have a badge for the winner?
A rookie mistake of not having my captain play sees me drop to second spot.....it's not over yet!

I'm so close, yet so far!
(http://www.robchie.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/table3.png)
A bit premature Sync, me n Rob still have our captain to play a second game, come on Tevez, let's close that 12 point gap and make the final week a real cracker.
I've got Bale and Tevez in there, not as captain mind!
Looks like Wednesday is a big night all around. The mighty spurs go into Europe and the mighty Puddleducks can scrape over the line with one week to go!
Great league lads, really enjoyed it, no matter what the outcome, good luck!
Surely it's all over, the only fight now is for second place?
1 Jemima Puddleduck 2135
2 Pink Panthers Utd 2114
3 chaverton 2114
Last ditch effort!
(http://www.robchie.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/table4.png)
they think its all over, well it probably is. It will require a minor miracle to bridge the 21 point lead at the top. But football is a funny old game. Roll on sunday.:)
After winning the 1st 3 seasons it's all gone a bit wrong for me, looks like a champions league place is the best I can do.
Well my change of captain proved unfruitful. Nice 1 guys. Next time I think I'm going to be more conservative with spending money on subs, I must have spent about 60 points on players!
I did as well as the team I follow! how fitting. :D
final table @ 9 May
Its all over for this season congrats to our new winner, well played. It was close for a while. Hopefully see you back for some more next season. :)

I understand there may be a Steward's inquiry into the winner as he's a bit of a dope!!
Pah, sore losers.
Give yourself another pat on the back Benny, you've accumulated the most points in winning since we started this. :worship:
On a similar note, the top 7 teams this year had more points than the winning team last year.
Unsticking......look forward to next year..
well done, hope its as close again next season, I just wish they would introduce a feature where your highest scoring substitutes were used :) come on england
