You got help with that

Someone call The DiS FA! Theo? cheated!

Eh?

I know Henry's the best to get anyway.

I just picked one of the top guys from every group, then I divided what I had left by the remaining places to fill and picked a few with the lowest cost to allow me to pick ones higher up too.

I always picked the one with the highest total of the cost level I was aiming for. Then I put the four shittest ones in the subs.

Last time I tried this I failed brutally.

If he'd have been helped

There's no way Shaun Newton would be there.

Damn

Maybe I should use logic to pick my team next time, rather than blind loyalty and pretending I know what I'm doing.

Your team looks quite good.

I think the problem I had last time I tried this

was that I couldn't really see how to get more money in order to transfer people later. This time I'll just ignore that and be happy with my bottom place. :D

Well done

on picking Adam Johnson...

go to leagues

on the side
or the top
I can't remember, but this season i am aiming for top 30.

Make your team

then click the join league thingy on the right.

With 20 teams, and the potential for more, Sepp Blatter's gonna be on the case.

Pigfoot | 10 Jul '06, 13:58 | Send note | Report this | Reply

ok

but can i change my team after joining the league?

sickboy | 10 Jul '06, 14:18 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Maybe

You can't see anyone's teams until it's all kicked off so you can probably change them.

Make your team the same as mine. That would OWN! :D

Why don't you do it now?

Or do Northern Internets not allow football or fun? It's all flatcap.com and whippetlove.org

I love my team

a no name defense with all my money up front.

Its this suicide?

hollywood_freak | 10 Jul '06, 14:34 | Send note | Report this | Reply

quite possibly...

i seem to have gone for a similar tactic...

trampoline | 10 Jul '06, 14:35 | Send note | Report this | Reply

srsly

The cheapeast defenders were 3.5m

I have spent 17.5 on my five defenders.

hollywood_freak | 10 Jul '06, 14:37 | Send note | Report this | Reply

haha

as they say in all good american football films... 'offense is the best form of defence'..

though that doesnt actually apply here.

trampoline | 10 Jul '06, 14:39 | Send note | Report this | Reply

i dont think so

i've gone for pretty much the same option ;)

ImageChange | 10 Jul '06, 14:36 | Send note | Report this | Reply

team win! will win

I have absolute faith in all the people i picked at almost complete random. Sometimes i wish i knew something about football...

really_inspired_username | 10 Jul '06, 14:36 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Marion FC

will generally hang around the lower half, sneak in for a top 8 finish, i reckon.

Teepee_uk | 10 Jul '06, 14:55 | Send note | Report this | Reply

my team

pretty much owns, although I'm not sure how I ended up with 3 Spurs players in the starting line up. Shevchenko is going to score so many next season it's unreal.

OceanStorm | 10 Jul '06, 15:39 | Send note | Report this | Reply

shevchenko

could go either way.

difficult to tell how he'll adapt. for top scorer i still think it'll be henry. although i couldnt afford to get him in my team :(

ImageChange | 10 Jul '06, 15:43 | Send note | Report this | Reply

I made sacrifices to get

Henry in my team. Those sacrifices are 'defence' and 'midfield'.

Boo.

bamos | 10 Jul '06, 15:45 | Send note | Report this | Reply

hahaha

yeah, i had to swap half the defenders i'd orginally put in for EVEN CHEAPER options, to get the strike force i wanted. Still couldnt quite stretch to henry as star striker though. I have gone for shevchenko. But I do see that as a bit of a gamble.

ImageChange | 10 Jul '06, 15:47 | Send note | Report this | Reply

I thought the same when they signed Crespo

I reckon he'll underperform slightly, like all Chelsea's big money Abramovich signings, but do enough to give Chelsea the title. It's really sad.

is there any point in being thrifty?

or should i spend all 100?

i was basing my choices on whoever had the funniest names

but had money left over, so got rooney.

is there anyway

you can change the formation?

Martbowski | 10 Jul '06, 16:53 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Yep

Just, liek, swap one player in your first eleven for a player on the bench in a different position. Simple.

bamos | 10 Jul '06, 16:55 | Send note | Report this | Reply

My team is immense

Shevchenko, Henry, Gerrard AND Lampard

Martbowski | 10 Jul '06, 16:56 | Send note | Report this | Reply

who is more likely

to concede goals: charlton, fulham, west ham or everton?

Martbowski | 10 Jul '06, 16:58 | Send note | Report this | Reply

im a fan of everton's defence

charlton were quite good for a big chunk of last season.

I'd go for fulham and west ham as worst of those.

ImageChange | 10 Jul '06, 17:00 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Ashton up front now as well then

IMMENSE TEAM

Martbowski | 10 Jul '06, 17:03 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Fulham worst

West Ham aren't that bad plus they're going to have more fire in their bellies this year!

Hannah82 | 10 Jul '06, 17:04 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Fulham definitely.

I predict a good year for Everton. Charlton/West Ham I think are unpredictable, particuarly as Charlton have a new manager and West Ham are in danger of second season syndrome.

I have Lescott in mine though I might change before the start of the season. Loads of transfers still to happen.
