Yup. There are now 9 of us in the league... and it starts THIS SATURDAY!!!

CAN I HEAR A WHOOP WHOOP!?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 09 Aug 2005, 17:10

I think there should be at least 10.

Mark should have a bash

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 09 Aug 2005, 20:49

Yeah. More would be better, but gotta make do with what we can get!!

Could have more if we allowed people to enter a 2nd team, but don't think that is quite the same.

Hey,

Tne table is pretty close but I'm 2nd from bottom! :crybaby:

I cant post the table I'm afraid as it said the viewing of League Tables was disabled.

yep, i noticed yesterday their ranking systems were totally screwed. I guess theyve taken the leagues down until they have it fixed... according to their rankings yesterday evening I was 50th out of 64000 users, but did not even appear in the top 50 birmingham city supporters, 7 points off 50th place...

I'm second in the B n B league, alas the only one I remember apart from myself was Grim, which is the one placing thats already been announced.

Well, so far this week I've got 31 points with the team I've entered into the BnB league.

Remember guys, with the new scoring system the bonus points have still to be awarded. Those points are awarded on a tuesday for weekend and monday games, and on a thursday for tuesday and wednesday games.

So all could still change!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 15 Aug 2005, 13:56

Ah. I didnt know that. Thanks Degen

So far I have 39 points in the BnB league.

I've also noticed with the new scoring system that a midfielder only gets 1 point now for not conceding any goals (as opposed to 2).

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 15 Aug 2005, 14:31

Yeah, I think that was probably to balance out the playing field a little so that your average midfielders are more in line with your average defenders and forwards.

Also, there is the possibility of getting 2 assists per goal now, so that should enable most midfielders to pick up points they otherwise wouldn't have got.

Could be wrong though, they may have just changed it so that people would have to rethink their tactics from last season etc...

its gotten remarkably complicated rule wise this season. well in comparison to the original anyway... I ended up getting most of my points from my goalkeeper ever though i have rooney and van persie up front...

My 2nd team, which I thought would be the one that didn't do quite as well, is on 54 points...

My 1st team are certainly off to a very bad start to the season!

I'm not sure whats going on with the fixture list right now... Gameweeks 3 and 4 are close together but (eg) Arsenal's fixture with Liverpool in GW4 has been put back so dont Arse/Charlton (I'm annoyed Bent wont be used this week :x ) play twice in a future gameweek?

I wouldnt get too carried away with Chelski beating Arse, we're only 2 games in the season

Maybe Arse could cut down on the pretty twinkle toes stuff a bit, but it took a fluky goal and a multi-million pound squad to beat a young(ish) side.

The teams missing these game weeks, and me not noticing that this gameweek was coming so soon has caused me all sorts of problems. Firstly on one team I hadn't made any changes, so still had Ljunberg in as captain... then I realised Liverpool aren't even playing in the next 2 game weeks, and I got lots of Liverpool players in my teams... or at least one of htem.

Poo sticks!!!

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 25 Aug 2005, 13:44

Not convinced all the scoring has been done yet for this gameweek. All the bonus points have yet to be awarded (I think).

Mordib · Post by **Mordib** » 25 Aug 2005, 14:11

these gameweeks ar getting totaly crazy, I mean gw3 was surely only 2 days long according to the stats??

You could be right, but when I check my score there is no "provisional" after "57 points"

I had to make someone else my captain for GW 4 though!

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 26 Aug 2005, 14:09

Ok, the bonus points are in:

1 Evil Grim's XI Simon Gifford 68 153

7 Rico's Heroes Rico K 39 113
8 Red Star Unreal Nilesh Parmar 23 96
8 Film Harlots XI Luke Cousins 13 96

Grim, it got better for you with those points!!!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 30 Aug 2005, 14:08

Huh?
How come Balstino got 70 points but his total is the same? Curses! He's overtaken me!

EDIT: No he hasnt. I'm still top.

If 11 bonus points were added for Balstino and 3 for me, why are we both still on the SAME number of points overall from before they were added on?
