do we still need a code to join?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 07 Jul 2007, 11:48

Yeah, if we want to make a BnB league I think so.
I thought about Eduardo as no one knows him, but he's unlikely to start for Arsenal at first I would think, it's not a bad team I think.

Any news yet on a BnB league?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 10 Jul 2007, 16:27

There's an option for me to "Create a League" but I have to type in all your emails (?) - when it would be easier to post here.
Not sure what to do TBH.

Create a league and then post the league code here.

Ok, my team - although its very much subject to change before the start of the season!!

GK Hahnemann RE
Def Dunne MC
Def Djourou AR
Def King TH
Mid Ronaldo (C) MU
Mid Lampard CH
Mid Bentley BR
Mid Hargreaves MU
Att Berbatov TH
Att Van Persie AR
Att Tevez WH

GK Niemi FU
Def Boyce WI
Def Pearce FU
Mid Teale DC

If Djourou gets a regular game things are less likely to change, but the defence is my weak link just now I think.

If Tevez actually goes to Man U, then I think/hope he'll get to start for them and his price is likely to rise too I'd imagine, so I think he'll be a good buy. Also, Hargreaves for Man U is dirt cheap at the mo', but not knowing too much about the guy I don't know if he's likely to start. If he does, and does well, he's a hell of a buy at his current price.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 26 Jul 2007, 16:46

How much is Hargreaves? Perhaps I'll buy him

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 Jul 2007, 08:40

I'll wait and see if he gets regular starts first. I think I've got a decent team

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 01 Aug 2007, 10:08

The season starts soon (11 Aug) so get picking teams people

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 01 Aug 2007, 11:28

Hmmm. Had to get rid of Tevez just now as apparently his current transfer wrangle is going to cause him to miss the first few weeks of the season. Bet his value goes up when he finally gets to go to Man U.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 01 Aug 2007, 11:59

Perhaps I'll buy Hargreaves/Tevez later.
I already blew my budget starting with Ronaldo.

Blaizeyboy · Post by **Blaizeyboy** » 05 Aug 2007, 18:49

1: Van der Sar
2: Hyypia

Ok people... here's my team for the coming year. It isnt final btw, as Alex hasnt been added, and he will definately make my team. Hopefully he'll be cheaper than Terry.

Goalkeeper
Lehman

Defence
Melchiot
Terry
Evra
YP Lee
Campbell

Midfield
Alonso
Boateng
Essien
Landzaat
Taylor

Attack
Van Persie
Eduardo
Kuyt

James is my 2nd keeper btw

That's not the final 11, and I am still thinking about who will start and stuff... but for now it's a beginning

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 Aug 2007, 07:28

I might pick Eduardo later as I'm not sure how lilkely he'll be to get a game!

I might consider Alex too.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 06 Aug 2007, 11:39

Eduardo will most definately get games. I've seen him in some friendlies and he's just a very good player who scores easily. Adebayor is injured anyway, and Arsenal lacked a guy who just puts the balls in the net.
He reminded me of Henry a bit, btw. He's also still young I believe...

So yeah, I think he'll be a regular starter.

For me, Alex is a must. For PSv he has been tremendous and easily the best defender in our league. And in the CL he has been important as well against all the big names...

Terry is out anyway so I'm sure Alex will get a few games the first few weeks.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 Aug 2007, 12:49

Hmmm.. maybe I'll put Alex in, didn't realise Terry was injured, cheers.
I put RVP in for Arsenal BTW.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 Aug 2007, 12:55

Hey Yi where is Alex? I can't see him listed at Chelsea.
I changed my squad round a bit BTW, made Niemi my sub keeper and put in Reo-Coker for Barnes (injured) etc...

Read my 1st post, at the top.

They havent put him in yet. Should be added this week, hopefully.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 07 Aug 2007, 13:46

I'll see how much Alex is when they put him in, ATM I swapped Terry for Lescott.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 07 Aug 2007, 13:49

Seeing as the other chelsea defenders are pretty cheap, and Alex wasnt a 'big signing', I hope he'll only cost 6 or 7.
The only problem could be if Mourinho decides to not play him, but he'd be an idiot if he does that... (not impossible though; think back to Kezman :N )

An ok first week for me... mainly thanks to my REading keeper getting 10. If Chelsea had lived up to expectation and not conceded any goals I'd have had quite a few more points! And then there's Man U not playing Hargreaves or Tevez... hopefully Rooney is injured and Tevez will get a start next game now...

Think there is a lot of room for improvement in my team, now just have to decide who stays and who goes!
