Fuckin hell, today i had Jones from Sunderland and Hart from Man City on my bench both giving me 10+ points and they didnt automatically substitute them in???

pokkeherrie · 12.30.2007, 08:02 PM

... unfortunately automatic substitution only happens when one of your original starters doesn't play.

pants
thanks for explaining that cos ive been annoyed massively for the last couple of weeks. bloody Ashley Young

sonicl · 01.11.2008, 03:57 AM

I shouldn't be doing this, bearing in mind that I'm slipping down the table pretty fast now, but don't foget, folks, that the African Nations Cup starts very soon, and a lot of African players aren't going to be playing for the next few weeks. Get your transfers and substitutions in quick.

pokkeherrie · 01.14.2008, 06:14 PM

Ouch! I just checked on last weekend's results... It seems like not having Ronaldo in my team is seriously killing me these past few weeks... But, I'll manage without him, I have my pride*!

* .... and by that I mean that I can't afford him.

(OK, I guess I could afford him but ditching Gerrard for Ronaldo just feels dirty. The form Ronnie is in at the moment is pretty much forcing me though. Ugh.)

Bertrand · 01.15.2008, 04:45 AM

Gosh ! I'm not allowed to rep you for that definition of pride...
Talk about bad luck...

PAULYBEE2656 · 01.15.2008, 08:47 AM

yep. ranaldo not being present really has scuppered my chances. im going to take the gamble and reorganize my team and get the sulky talented bastard! i wish i hadnt used up that wildcard now!!!!!!! last portion of the season is gonna be all out attack from me!

sonicl · 01.15.2008, 08:57 AM

My wildcard is still safely in my pocket, waiting for the end of January when the transfer window closes. Ronaldo still won't be in my team after that though, on principle.

Bertrand · 01.15.2008, 10:05 AM

I admire principles.
That's classier that my personal shame at thinking that Ronaldo might only wave my team bye-bye on Gameweek 35.
I've got something in mind for the day I use my wildcard.
I hope the gap doesn't shrink too much, so that I can keep the card for the very last day...

sonicl · 01.15.2008, 12:01 PM

It's not an admirable principle, I'm afraid - I hate Man U and Liverpool, and refuse to have any of their players in my team. I went against my principles for a while and had one player from each of those teams, but it made me very ill, so I got rid of them.

I once had a fantasy team which was picked on the basis that I refused to have any players who played for a team that wore a red kit. Surprisingly, it did quite well and I won the FA Cup in the competition that I was playing in.

it's probably better that way, as it's likely i'll have to add him to my team anyway. he's scored 120 points in his last 5 games for everyone who captained him during that period.

btw, doesn't anyone else think it's silly that he's listed as a midfielder in fantasy premier league? that means he gets points for clean sheets even though he's not defending and 5 instead of 4 points (like forwards) for every goal. of course i won't complain about that once he's in my team.

PAULYBEE2656 · 01.16.2008, 09:44 AM

gerrard and ronaldo in my midfield.... jeez, my defence has to struggle with that

sonicl · 02.01.2008, 04:26 AM

Thw transfer window closed last night - albeit without much action having taken place. Time for me to think about playing my wildcard.

Bertrand · 03.21.2008, 04:00 AM

I've seen that on GW33, the Manchester City-Chelsea clash had been delayed. Make sure you get 11 players available.
No new date for that game yet. But some are gonna play twice again for sure.

Bertrand · 03.23.2008, 03:49 AM

^^
It's now back to where it formerly belonged.

pokkeherrie · 03.23.2008, 12:47 PM

Oh dear, I forgot about the deadline a couple of times in a row in January, then I just skipped it altogether completely. I shudder to think about what my position could be now.
