Spent every penny I have. Not happy with my selection, but unsure what changes to make

http://i45.tinypic.com/23vgjb.png

When do things kick off :P got my squad done.

Attachment 110503

New season kicks off on the 18th August! See a mate of mines picked Vorm for his fantasy team and I never understood why. He reckons Swansea will get a lot of 0-0 draws, will be interesting to see if he's right...

edit: who are your subs?

imo vorn is pretty good I support swansea I have a season ticket, I go to every home game :P I only live 10 minutes away from the Liberty Stadium.

My subs are
G - Joe Hart (Maybe he should be my keeper)
D- Armand Traore
M - Jason Puncheon
F - Jonathan Forte

I choose Traore, Puncheon and forte because I had about £12/12$ left of my budget lol, I bought Lampard, Gerrard, etc so my budget was recked when I got to subs.

Finally. Anyhow, signed up.. current squad;
G - David De Gea
D(s) - John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, José Enrique, David Luiz
M(s) - Shinji Kagawa, Juan Mata, David Fox, JOEY BARTON!!
F(s) - Sergio Aguero, Robin Van Persie.

Substitutes;
G - Radek Cerny
D - Vincent Kompany
M - Jordan Ibe
F - Robert Hulse

I actually really cannot believe they bothered to add Tony Hibbert (when hibbo scores we riot!) into the equation. 253 games in his Everton career and only 1 goal.. and that was in his own net!

I was also tempted to add Heskey if I saw him.. thank god I didn't spot him. IMO, I got a pretty good line-up.

You don't, you will all lose!

Terrible trash talk seeing as I haven't even picked my team yet!

My lineup is pretty decent;
G - Petr Cech
D - Rafael, Kolo Toure, Micah Richards, Kyle Walker
M - Ben Arfa, Song, Ramires, Adam Johnson
S - Papis Cisse, Sturridge

Subs:
Howard, Jones, Ramsey, Agbonlahor

I think I might swap out a few players in my squad (looking to get rid of a Man City player so I can have Yaya :D (stupid 3 player limit rule :( ))

I've chosen Yaya Toure as well, great player. But the problem is he is beginning to get bored at the club, you can tell by the way he plays. His intensity levels have gone down, he is not the same player he was last year but he is still a monster.

Squad pic coming shortly...

I'd swap out Kolo Toure. He won't be able to get a game ahead of Lescott and Kompany.

Again, why pick Barton when he has a long-ass ban and is a horrible player?! A good team though!

Done some chopping and changing;
http://grab.by/f9vI
Probably will change the squad again soon

i don't give a shit about the subs. tomkins is the only one i feel will bring me points, he's a nasty center back. i think i may switch out toure and buy hazard. and then sell van persie (lets be honest he will be injured 2 months into the season) and get aguero. thatll free up around .2 for me with which i will sell barton and buy mark noble.

Barton simply because he's the biggest asshole in the world!

Sold Van Persie for Craig Bellamy so I got some more money to sort my crappy subs out.
Sold Augstein for Scott Sinclair because... he is better.

I'm personally a bit wary on having Modric in my team. I had Sigurdsson in before him but Modric is obviously the better player, but if he leaves then I'm screwed!

Not bad,

I took your comments in mind and have had a team change myself,

Welbeck for Hernandez
Dzeko for Carroll

Kagawa is now my captain

Craig Bellamy could be moving to Cardiff so I've had to do some chopping and changing AGAIN!

http://i45.tinypic.com/snl2fr.png

Also good to see 10 people have joined the league. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE! Also we haven't quite seen everyone else's teamsheets!

Im on a netbook and cannot get the full screen into picture.

I don't know anything about football but I'm going give it a go :scared:

To save money, don't have Chech as your reserve goalkeeper. Joe Hart is brilliant enough to make you loads of points. Da Silva doesn't get a regular game so you won't get a lot of points there, neither does Leiva or Cole. Dawson is injury prone so I'd maybe consider changing him.

Since Barton's pretty much fucked, I've decided to do a swap and changed him for Jermaine Jenas of [strike]Tottenham[/strike] El Jamié FC

Thanks so much for your help junkers, does the formation make a difference?

Yes. If you go with a 4-3-3, you'll have 3 strikers. And let's say you have aguero, van persie, and rooney, and they all score hattricks in their respective games. it'll be raining money or in our case, points.

lucas leiva is a monster. last season before he got injured he was liverpool's best player and would have been one of the league's top performers if he had played the entire season.

Haha, I might change him and get Van Persie

Made a few changes on my team :)

http://i48.tinypic.com/23urh29.png

Updated my squad

Attachment 111325

Bellamy is not available so I'm thinking of another forward...

Had to sell some players to get enough money to replace him with a decent striker, now my team seems to be worse than it was before but its the best I can do on that tight budget :P I have £0 left lol

Updates:

G-Hart (Sub - Vorm)
D-Ferdinand, Briggs, Terry, Ferdinand (From QPR) (Subs - Dawson)
M-Sinclair, Giggs, Gerrard (Subs - Modric and Puncheon)
F-Rooney, Tevez, Van Persie (Subs - None)

I'm using 4-3-3 formation.

Was just about to post about this!
Just joined!

Theres only 2 days left to get your teams perfect :)

It Started.

Of topic: Swansea just beat QPR 5 - 0 :D

who's in the lead after day 1?

http://i45.tinypic.com/17r69l.png

So far ;oo i am 10th so proud of myself.

Most of my people are tomorrow so i might move up abit.

Third place oh yeah. And City have Southampton tomorrow so should be a few goals for Aguero and a steller performance from Yaya Touré to shoot me up the rankings!

edit: coulda had 10 points more if I had remembered Parker was injured and put in Nolan

True, My best player was Tevez (He had me the most points) So I just brought him back, Sinclair did great too.

Did some other changes too that I hope will bring me up from 4th to 1st :P, I'm happy with 4th considering I don't know much about football lol, got Reid and Ridgewell in defence now too since they had good results for other squads lol. Gerard is now my captain.

WEEK ONE COMPLETED!

The table as it currently stands after 1/38 matches:

http://i50.tinypic.com/2ez3480.png

I'd like to thank my friends and family without whom none of this would've been possible.

I'd also like to thank my complete lack of football knowledge and indifference to it as a professional sport.

Aye don't get too cocky now! KRD and Luke aren't far off you!

I still can't believe manu didn't even score a goal, bloody useless. ah well I have a secret plan ready for week 2 ;)

i've completely revamped my team. fucking dempsey with his refusal to play cost me a lot of points considering his price tag. i guess i bought ramires based on his latter performances for chelsea last season, but is he really going to get in the team over hazard? no, so another retarded purchase on my part. and don't even get me started on RVP and rooney. cost 18 together and returned a total of 4 points combined. im going to stick with them for one more week however because come on it's fucking RVP and Rooney. my subs suck ass as well, but that has been fixed and I was wondering how the subs figure into all of this? They add to the points tally while they are not in the starting 11?

I'm glad I transfered Dempsey out! Had to swap Aguero to Tevez, swapped Jelavic for Ba, also got Santi Carzola and Per Mertesacker. My worst decision was not realising Parker was injured whilst Kevin Nolan got 10 points...

I had two Man U forwards and their did nothing for me -.- pointless, i need to change one of them


Some how i have got 4 from the same team on my squad

http://i47.tinypic.com/2lmrsxi.png

Yay doing badly at 11th place, was 6th during the week ):

How my squad looks now. But I really want rid of Kyle Walker.

http://i45.tinypic.com/qw7l.png

Mm I have absolutely no idea what I am doing with these changes but I decided to get rid of Rooney and Van persie as they never really got me that many points, redone most of my team, only for 7 transfers left so I need to make the most of those.

http://i49.tinypic.com/hupqpw.png
Im 3rd after the first segment, im so proud of myself lol i don't watch football. I have made lots of changes so i hope i keep in the top 3 and haven't ruined it.

I want to make more changes but I've already made like 5 or 6... :(:

Least I can say I'm basically last..............

for christ sake were chelsea just sat on the bench the entire game, how'd they let four past em?

im still second i think

You guys forgot about the subs ;)
My subs did a lot better than my starting line up... lol >.>

2nd place, woohoo! Some tricky games this weekend and I have a lot of clashing players, some difficult squad decisions this week!

I'm still deciding if I should keep both Rooney and RVP. Might switch one of them with Tevez but maybe after I see how they play this weekend.

I changed Robin Van Persie for Tevez as he didn't give me any points hope it pays off.

Fuck, im third now, Junkers you are beating me by 2.1 points

Ahh I'm 9th, Can't wait until our new squad starts, Mine sucks at the moment, New squad is a complete over haul.

Think my starting team is ready now, just going to do the subs.

Subs, etc done, Transfers left: 0 :P

Only by 3 points :P

Looks like my team revamped worked, At 4th again now.

I still have 0 transfers left for next week, does that mean I'm stuck with my current squad? :P

what the fuck fergie why didnt you start rooney hes my fucking captain

dammit, i went for the safe bet making de gea my captain, should've gone for kagawa

i shouldve gone for van persie, fucker got 7. rooney got 1. you lucky bastards, my main point makers played but i got a couple left for tmrw hopefully they bring in 5 each at least, and i can just look forward.

I did the same thing i swapped van persie not rooney i was in 4th now im in 10th ...

Mmmm shoulda made Vorm my captain, he got 7 points. Swansea are on fire. That and I shoulda played Naismith, who got 6. Still got loads more points to pick up tomorrow!

---

Most of my players are on tomorrow so i think i could move up some places. I made lampard my captain because he did the best for me last week now he isn't doing so good, this game is so hard to predict on what to do.

I sold Nikica Jelavic earlier in the week. He scored today, earned 7 points ¬_¬ I also didn't include Marouane Fellaini like I originally had pre-season and he's scored 2 already! Raging!

Can someone post a picture of the table

Gonna sign Fellani and Michu if I can, they're on fire o.o

You're not doing very well Lewis :laugh: shame Alfons and a few others haven't got teams sorted, but aye this is how the table looks pending today's results. ​Note: Sunderland v Reading was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch so we're missing a game there

WEEK TWO COMPLETED!

The table as it currently stands after 2/38 matches:

The winners get the feeling of pride at beating everyone and i heard Rooney got injured so i put Van persie in his place.
