Alright people, time to get your teams in for the new season.

Continued from the old 2008/2009 thread, Johna has already set a new FCCUK league up, but it needs it's own thread so people know about it.

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

League code is: 446869-102908

Good luck (you'll need it)

there should be a prize for this years winner, like a model car of a coop.

wonder if the club will put something towards it..

Come on, people.. we need more teams!

I'm in!

I'm back

12 teams in there at the moment...

anyone else finding it tres difficile to pick a team...

Picking a team was easy, picking the winning team was a little trickier.

do you sign lescott if not moving too Chelsea now.....hmmm

I had Alonso, Van Der Sar and Woodgate in my team. 2 are crocked and one's left the country. Not even an email from them to tell me to update my team.

I'm taking a bit of a risk by keeping Van Der Sar despite his 2 month layoff. But obviously Alonso had to go and Woodgate too. Sadly in the time since i selected my team Crouch has moved to Tottenham so i also had too many Spurs players in my team.

Tevez is another one I am wrangling with, along with Gerrard V Lampard

Tevez, Crouch or Robinho are the three forwards I'm wrangling with at the moment. I can't make up my bloody mind!

I might have a proper go this year. I did submit a team last time but totally forgot about it until the last week of the season..though somehow, I didn't finish last!

Right I'll go register now..

There, it is done

Can you not take a cheeky look at who other people have got in their team then?

you can look at other teams but only once the season has started. I too have Tevez and Crouch, but i've also taken a risk and gone with Pavliechenko. I'm hoping that now he's had 6 months in the premiership, with Harry guiding him, he'll have a fantastic season.

(but saying that i'm just going to check who else i can have for the same money)

can't see that happening too often

im in, who won last year? IIRC I ended up 2nd, or was it 3rd??

Come on East End Turbos

I'm in - Athletico Potato!

Is no-one else considering Rooney up front?!

Joining up again tonight!

I've just signed up, don't really have much of a clue so we'll see how it goes...

Watch ou for Snakesbelly Utd! shocking defence but the rest is ok!!!

so who is gonna post their team on here??

I am still undecided...

tevez & Agbon

or

Rooney & Ebanks-Blake

I got Torres and Robinho up front.

Damn Tevez is starting on the bench

I've got Bent, Eduardo and Torres so two out of three so far

So far my top points are from Shaun Wright-Phillips. Two of my strikers play tomorrow though.

Top of the table! well for tonight anyway...

7th here, shame i cant load the page with the table on it so i can see how many teams are in our league. I hope it's not 7!

On line now, don't worry there's 21 others.

can we end the season now please

What's really annoying me is the amount of times I go to log in and get actively refused. Even now I'm being told to wait an hour

me too, it's quarter past twelve and I still can't get on!

I think that gameweek caught a few people out!

anyone else following this??

Mid-table mediocrity at the mo. I've had Torres, Bent and Drogba up front since the beginning, so attacking wise its all in place. Its just everything else that's gone tits up.

I was caught out with 4 injuries at the end of the last game week and was forced into using my wild card. Which has sort of paid off, although I'm not happy with Cech! Midtable for me too at the moment.

What happens if you don't remember your username or password, and can't remember which email address you registered from?!

Best start typing all my email addresses in til I get a response.. (only to find out I'm last or something..)

Crikey! I'm up to third! That's a turn up for the books.

Johna from memory you seems to be doing much better this season than last!

Ive just joined up. I love fantasy footy!! Hopefully it will add me in with the points i already have.Otherwise i will be well behind.

yes and no, think I finished 5th bottom last year but kept on having to transfer.. So far, so good!

One for the print screen! Following yesterday's results, I am top of the FCCUK league for the first time ever. I hope I can stay there or thereabouts for a while yet, but no medals are handed out before Christmas etc etc!

Only just!! Im hot on your heels!

I was top not so long ago, now 17th!

I've been getting shafted by not having Fabregas. Now rectified!

cant believe i've only just found this.. gonna join in a min, although i expect i'll be propping eveyone else up, 'high hopes' is the team name and its is quite ironic!

Had another good day, so got a bit of a gap at the top now (until the Scousers play tomorrow at least!). I noticed that I had the top score for last month overall, so that explains why I might be hovering at the top recently rather than down in the Top 20 at the start of the season.

In case anyone is wondering, 'Ffrwchnadd' is the Welsh word for banana (which is never used in commonplace talk by the way)!

I changed my team on Friday and replaced Torres with Defoe. And put him as captain.

...then I had a rethink, took a hit of four points and replaced Defoe with Eduardo.

D'oh.

I thouhght about shipping Torres out - but you know he will come back and score lots of points...

have only just seen this thread, and have added my team to the mini-league. Not doing too great so far this season I have to admit, and haven't got defoe

ha ha just seen that Defoe scored five, just wish I had him as captain rather than Rooney!!

Just joined.

As usual I stick a player in just as their form ends. 11m+ and 3 points from the last 2 games.

and when will Torres be back,...... having kept hold of him through his injury... doh

considering...

OUT
Hunt
Kuyt
Torres


IN
Wright Phillips
Dempsey
Drogba

Is torres not playing on sat? I took kuyt out last week n he scored!

Tricky one, Man City have Chelsea this weekend so would hold fire on Wright Phillips, Drogba is a good shout for the next month but then off to African nations in Jan.

Oh yes sitting pretty at the top!!(for now)

Still a long way to go.

But im looking good up there!!

Potentially still some points to be added too - next tues' Stoke v Fulham and weds Arsenal v Bolton fall into the current weeks scoring.

Come on the Stones'

dunno whats happened to my team, i was gutted the other day when fabregas scored 2 goals and i didnt have him in my first 11 (due to injury)! now i have him in but hes got another bloody injury.

i took my chances with Fabregas,worked for me last week, has gone wrong for me this week, my only worry is who they will change my captain to for me this week?

fab as my captain too but i have my vice captain set as value, so it will torres.

Thats ok then,mine is set to form and i have a nasty feeling out of my team the form player recently has probably been Milner.

But he had a rubbish week,im hoping it goes to Bent.

i have players from fulham, arsenal and bolton.. hopefully i will have a good week!

I have 7 players from double gameweek teams. Typically though I had Cesc as my captain.

so...Rooney, Tevez or Defoe as captain for this upcoming round of matches....

I have just got rid of tevez and Defoe!

oooooh, who for

Starsky are you nuts?! Lamps as captain, it's a DGW for pete's sake!

lol, I didnt notice - and dont have lampard

Top of the league! Get in!

I had a bit of a shocker this week and next week doesn't look too rosey either. Still I've moved up from mid table to where I am now which I'm happy with.

Wehey!!!!!

Hopefully we can get a FCCUK World Cup League together too!

I'm happy with 5th, I had a drop mid season but am pleased to finish at he top of the 'mini fccuk league' I was in, and happy to get above 2000 points for the first time.

sixth, yay

and I now realise you got "free" transfers every week and that looking which teams were playing twice in a game week is a good tactic

Stu

2nd!! gutted,so close yet so far!

Damn, I forgot FCCUK has a league. I finished on 1901 points, which would have been mid-table, like in the other leagues I entered...

It was close at the top, well done Bob and unlucky Mikey1

Dave

Just snuck in for a Top 10 finish. Could maybe have been a couple of places higher if I'd remembered that Sorensen busted himself up.

Well done Bob.

Skysports are running a fantasy world cup if anyone is interested http://worldfantasyfootball.skysports.com/
