Fantasy Football (the kind played with an actual ball)

I think I'm going to start supporting Fulham! Who knew?

Stevie G. scores in stoppage time to secure a victory! all those points come rolling in...

what worries me is Robbie Keane's form though. is he going to get close to some goals finally?

funny thing. i have two Arsenal defenders in the squad and both times so far, the one i keep on the bench is the one who plays in the actual game, and vice versa.

Get yer teams in by 1130 tomorrow, boys. 1030 for Sally, I guess.
Hopefully Fabregas will play against the Geordies. He had 66 minutes against Enschede's finest during the week. Be nice too, if Scharner didn't spend 2/3 of his time listed as having an ankle injury.

Tough break on Gerrard, btw.

Also, Fulham and Man U aren't playing at all this week.

Hey, so I'm hoping all y'all that are doing this will keep the rest of us up to date on who's "winning", trash talk, etc. Granted I'm not a fan of the game, but I would like to see how y'all do. I mean, who knows... maybe I'll bump into one of the two Americans that like soccer and can sound as though I know what I'm talking about. Cool

Good luck to y'all!

3 weeks in, i'm the leader with 302 pts amassed so far.
Aurelyn's 2nd with 288.
and Chainsaw's dragging behind with measly 255. who'd have guessed it's his folks that invented the game in the first place?

So, it sounds like doing well is getting about 100 pts a week? Sounds like it will be interesting -- keep the rest of us posted unless Sal runs away with it.

Desperation defending. Yobo in particular has made 31 clearances (meaning 31 points for that alone) because Everton have been constantly under the cosh every game this season. To a lesser degree it's also true of Ćorluka, who has had to make tackle after tackle because City were constantly under pressure even in the games they won. (Both of which ended with extremely flattering scorlines for them.) Be interesting to see if the big lad from Croatia keeps raking in the points at Spurs.

Defenders from teams that have been playing much better don't get anywhere near the chance to score that many points, because their midfield is keeping the ball, and their defence is organised and preventing attacks, rather than desperately hacking the ball out of their box all game long. In most fantasy football games defenders only get bonus points for clean sheets, so you'd want to be picking guys from Liverpool, Man U and Chelsea. If you look at the list of high scoring (45+ points) defenders (Lescott, Laursen, Davies, Turner, Yobo etc.) most of them are playing at teams with dodgy defences so far this season, and have made 25-35 clearances. The one exception to not profit from this rule is Everton's Jagielka*, who is a far better defender than any of those guys except Lescott, but just isn't raking in the points with endless clearances.

Sal's strike force has netted a pathetic points total, but his defenders are scoring so highly it doesn't matter.

*Three guesses which Everton defender is in my squad.

Just to keep everyone current, I have stormed into the lead this week with 395 points, Sal is in second with 375, and Chainsaw is on 316.

I will refrain from any editorial comments on any of the above scores.
