GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Yes folks , according to my inbox today, the COMPLETELY FREE Herald Fantasy Football is up and running again for 2004/05. Step right up and get yer team in

http://britishfantasyfootball.theherald.co.uk

Mini League Name : GD Season 2 - The Revenge
Password : LDYO3

As with before , you can create and enter multiple teams, but at the end, there can be only one winner. Last year, it was Will Yau and his Roast Potatoes, narrowly edging out Kura's Konqueror's :mad: .

Finishing in the last 5 , after telling us all season how well he was going to do (and in the process, losing a bet with my good self) was Dead Meat. Come on Baldy , get back in there, get some Arsenal players this time, and lets see if you can do better. Double or Quits!

Edit : For reference , i believe you can enter up to FIVE teams per email address, so for the amusement factor, gimmick teams are actively encouraged. Themed teams , such as Albert Square's "Blinky Blonky Blimey" (all 11 players under contract to London clubs) are very welcome indeed (last placed team last season I believe was a Premiership XI made up entirely of Scottish Players :(). It adds to the league and makes things more amusing for those who arent playing on the basis of "I have to win or I cant hold my head up in public"

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

I'm in.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Joined.

It should be fairly obvious which team is mine.


edit: uhhhh...someone just neg-repped me for this post almost a year after I wrote it...

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

IF you have one team - can you join two leagues? Or do I have to make 2 teams.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

I like the fact PSV are listed in the teams drop down menu.

Anyway. Ive signed up

Marshall

Archibald
Diamond
Laursen

Dunn
Gerrard
Nicholson
Stamp
Thompson

Henry
Heskey

Fear.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Ive noticed we have our first two gimmick teams ..... anyone care to own up?

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Will much change player wise between now and the week before teh season starts?

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

The team you sign up now will be your team at seasons start. No changes till the end of the first weeks premiership games. After that, you get 4 changes per month, as per last season, and as a few will tell you, its as tactical as hell (players are in the team midnight to midnight, so a few people transfer players out as soon as theyve played to get someone in for a midweek game, and then back in for Saturday , etc etc).

Edit : Paul , change your sig now before it draws a response from certain mods. Personal attacks are bad, mmmkay.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

So I might want to wait a bit?

p.s. JJ and Jonny etc seen it, tbh you gotta read the logs from that night, I sent em to JJ much funny.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Im thinking that maybe if you wait a bit, the account might be gone by morning.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

I came fourth in the last one :)

Anyway, my team - Furball's Furbies are:

Schwarzer (Middlesbrough)

S Varga (Celtic)
J Samuel (Villa)
Riise (Liverpool)
Pressley (Hearts)

Bentley (Norwich)
Di Canio (Charlton)
Davis (Tottenham)

Henry (Arsenal)
Shearer (Newcastle)
Beattie (Southhampton)


I'd keep an eye out for David Bentley, he'll be looking to prove himself now that he's left Arsenal. Also, I think he's a striker :D 4-2-4 here we go.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

I'll be joining

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

PM

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

He's only on a loan so that does not mean hes leaving Arsenal in the near foreseeable (if such a word exists) future.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Jerome Josy's Incest
Cech
Bridge Gresko Riise
Davies Davis Makelele Malbranque Pires
Beattie Shearer

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Oh , and

Kuras Konquerors

Kiely (Charlton)

Bridge (Chelsea)
Melchiot (Birmingham)
Neville (Man U)

Davis (Spurs)
Geremi (Boro)
Hitzlsperger (Villa)
Malbranque (Fulham)
Rae (Rangers)

Henry (Arsenal)
Sutton (Celtic)

See Sunday, i even took a rangers player!

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Though I question your employment of Kiely, given that Charlton no longer have Rowett, Rufus and Parker to kill possession.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Ive signed up:

Given

Melchiot
Terry
O'Shea
Balde

Wright-Phillips
Rommedahl
Lampard

Forrsell
Hasselbaink
Stead

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

which rae at rangers? and why?

The overpriced nature of some players is hilarious. Rooneys out for a wee while yet and hes 7 mio.

I was going to buy Alan Hutton of Rangers until i saw hes like 4.5 m

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Because hes one of the best keepers in the premiership, and Curbishley will undoubtedly have replacements lined up by the start of the season.

Never ever underestimate Curbs.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Stan Varga - £5.5M. Nuff said.

And it Alex Rae. Would be completely ****ing pointless buying Gavin Rae bearing in mind hes out for a year with a knee injury.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Well I'm going to wait till closer to the start of the season before I rattle off a few teams, I wanna see who ends up where and who ends up crocked.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Fair Enough. It could be a sound strategy.

I waited till 4 weeks in last time , generated 3 gimmick teams , and got 2 of them in the top 10. Anyone care to guess which ones they were?

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

I will be waiting for the start of the season to make my season.

Yakubu will prob start though.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Feed the Yak? .... and what kind of chant/catchphrase do you have in mind for Lomano Lua Lua Tresor?

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

I was thinking of something along the lines of the old trebor mint advert slogans could be butchered for this.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

The team "Hibs for UEFA Glory" has me pissing myself laughing. :D

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

:(

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

incidentally, why has nobody else realised how fantastic riordan is?

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Yes

However , you have "Mogga Don" in charge, and your performances against the mid table opposition from Kraptistan last week shows that you really are ****ing terrible just now. Blobby Bobby jumped at exactly the right time, you had an influx of raw talent, but it was unfocussed and unmotivated, and all its done is create Ego's when there should be football players.

Deek is talented. Alas , the remainder of the team is poor. That mental pratt you have running around the midfield is going to do a Neil Simpson on someone one of these days and get himself a 10 match ban.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Ask Androme

Van der Sar

Bridge
Cole
King

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

And I'd almost finished supressing that too :(

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

To the tune of 'Arry and Jim' or for to make it more accessible also, "Thierry Henry", Lua's chant is "Lua Lua, lua lua, lua lua, lua lua"

Want to see who we get in the middle of the park though, or in fact, who we manage to keep.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

'Straight Back Up'

Martin Herrera

Martin Albrechtsen

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

In my first venture with this football thing, joined.

(Middenheim Marauders)

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Theyve kicked out my "gimmick" team as well (Rob Manuel - I Like Bukkake) .... Sods! :(

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

could anyone tell, if one of my players is NOT in the starting formation?!

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Ive no idea. Try joining a league and then submitting yourself to a 2nd league. If it works , wonderful. If not, thats cool as well. I suspect not as only one league can win, and thus only one set of players can have the top prize. If everyone joined every league, theyd have thousands of winners.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Theyre all in.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

thanks.

Lupin - 11 Friends btw.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

What's the new Man Utd. recruit from Celtic called? I think I'll have him if he exists in their list.

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Liam Miller, I think he may be a darkhorse for premiership if he get's started enough, and given the flops Djemba-Djemba and Kleberson have come out I reckon Ferguson will be hoping a midfield with Fletcher and Miller will rejuvanete them to the title.

Then again I don't want everyone listening to my advice it might help them :/

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Just joined looking cool :)

Line up

Van der Sar

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

Blasto , are you aware that you cant make any transfers until the season starts, so you cant have Kezman until then?

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

are you aware that you are wrong?

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

I am now :(

I was under the impression that as no "Transfer Credits" had been assigned that no moves could be made.

*smacks head*

Re: GD Fantasy Football Season 2
 

I joined because Shoshuro told me to :> .

kiss kiss
