Fantasy Football 2009/10

Drogba is dragging butt with a groin pull and will need a hernia operation sooner or later. Will he try to play through pain this week and risk further injury or rest up for the World Cup? Another reason to delay those transfers until Sat afternoons. Now what do I do?

Its the last week of the Fantasy League so well done to Steve who looks certain to achieve the double of the FU League and H2H.
Also very well done to beer monkey,who has had another good season,and to Ron who has done fantastically well for an American in a foreign league !
For the moderators....Bob,Ralph and Alan....if it was the real world you would have been sacked at Xmas and what happened to last years champion,souey !

Thanks for letting me crash the party, guys. Congrats to Steve for finishing in first place in this highly competitive football league. Good seasons for Beer Monkey and Zidane, also. I somehow lucked out and finished in 4th and happy about it, you betcha. A lot of guys in there who know a hundred times more than I do about this great sport. Thanks to everybody, especially to Galee for setting it up and running it all so well.

Caution: Thaitanic Brandt made a helluva run at the end and moved up from 16th to 12th. He will be a force to reckon with next season.

Yep, another season of frustration finally comes to an end.
Congrats to the top 3. Another good year for Polehawk. Seem to remember you had a good year last year. I see the league finished in the top 10,000, so a big improvement on last year.
Personally, I missed out on picking the right captain too many times and couldn't resist making those compulsive transfers at the last minute. I also made the mistake of trying to catch a mate in another league and didn't make obvious transfers because I didn't want to duplicate one of his players. Wont be making that mistake next year.
On the bright side I did well in CYKI. Inside top 100 of the world but frustratingly was knocked off top spot in Thailand on the last day. Transferred in Cahill, he didn't play and Ivanovic was taken off on the 59th minute.
On the down side I'm disappointed with the input on the forum. I use to enjoy the banter. At times I thought I was talking to my self, so stopped posting.

Agreed Mr P has been good...slowly creeping up the league...as he did last season...

Me Too...i said to myself i was not going to go OTT on transfers....but that pesky Steve kept me on my toes...and staying in the FF cup for a while kept me at bay for a while as i didn't want to drop points on trannies..

I had cahill too....but i think Dunn came on for him, so not all bad..and well done on the cyki..i didn't follow that.

agreed...it dried up, some hardly posted and possibly partly due to me being somewhere else, as you know i could never stop myself making posts..!!!... but did 'check in' after gameweeks....but as you say...not much going on.

Heres to the next season looming upon us.....top 5000 next year..Thanks for getting me hooked 2 seasons ago Galee...i feel like an old hand now i spent hours each day + Night gazing at my team(s)....whilst the Mrs waited for me In Bed..

Might be a good idea if i don't meet your misses BM. Don't fancy a clip round the ear.

Forgot to say in my previous post, congrats on your Cup run. Best anyone has done by a mile.

Anyone have any plans for the 2010 World Cup Fantasy Football or know of any good ones on offer?

edit: Whoops just spotted it sorry please ignore.

There was one where you pick a country contestant in the other forum but think most teams are already gone.

Wait a minute. Beer Monkey started a fantasy one in here someplace. Will look for it.
