Couldn't find any recent thread on this subject so here's a new one.
Heading into the last week I've roared back into contention from a recent deficit of 100+ points to currently 9 behind the guy I simply must beat and 17 off the top. I have two free transfers and am thinking of dropping Bale and Papiss Cisse for Martin Petrov and Aguero. What do ye think? All 3 of us have Rooney, Ben Arfa and Dempsey. The two of them have Valencia and Evra and they only have one free transfer apiece this week.
Dempsey is out but i do not think I would get rid of cisse.Since you are behind I would go for Aguero instead of Rooney and would bring in Petrov for Dempsey.I am not sure taking my advice is a good idea as I have had my worst ever season in fantasy football :(
Yeah Petrov for Dempsey, and Aguero for Rooney. I think I'd let Rooney go because it's pointless having the same players as him with a gap to close. You need to gamble.
Can you afford Yaya Toure instead of Petrov?
In a similar boat and brought in Silva and Di Santo as a gamble...
The die is cast. Obviously got rid of Dempsey as word of his injury was confirmed and kept Bale. If city do as expected today I will do it. If they don't United might win the league so a kind of win-win!
I won the GAABOARD league, congrats to me. What one are you in Seanie?
1618 place overall and 208place in Ireland
In a few private ones and a work one. Didn't win any of them. Couldn't pull back the small deficits in one league that I really wanted to win (winner gets 12 bottles of wine). At times in the season I missed changing my team so overall for what I put into it I did fine.
Looks likes you did really well - what points total did you have? Must have been quite high. Congrats on winning the GaaBoard league, I'm sure you're a popular winner!
Fair play Sligonian , you were at the top for a long time.
I fooking lost one of my leagues in the last minute with Aguero scoring !

Good man myles, you never let up!
If there was a fantasy LOI comp (unrealistic I know) I'd have considered him. Was delighted on Saturday, always good to see the free stadium thieves getting stuffed.
Good man Seanie, has your heart softened towards the Bit O'Red? :)

Not really but I really hate Shamrock Rovers. As for Sligo Rovers - to be fair it's just not my thing (I went there a lot in my early teens and had my reasons for stopping) but it gives the town a lift when they're going well and means a lot to those who follow them. I just wish the town wasn't as anti-GAA as it is but there you go, garrison town and all that.
That time of the year again.Sligonian is the defending champion so he is the man to beat.The code to join the gas board league is 212265-113663

Is there an iphone app for this?
Would make it easier change your team than having to go onto the website on your phone.

I found a good one towards the end of last season for android so I'd assume there's one for iphone. Deleted it though so I'll need to look again. It was pretty good, could change team, make transfers on the phone which was a massive help.

Only 5 in so far.Season starts on saturday .Anymore takers.
I'm in a draft fantasy league with a few boys from work and there's money on it. I need some pointers as my soccer knowledge isn't great and I only have 40 players to choose from. So a few questions for any experts on here.
1. 3 from Van Wolfswinkle, Sturridge, Lambert, Kone, Jelavic, Gayle and Jovetic up front?
2. Is Lampard worth having in there with Chelsea having 2 games this week? I know he won't be first-choice but I'm thinking he's a good bet to get a goal from the bench.
3. I need to pick two midfielders from Arteta, Giacherrini, Walters, Bellamy or Lennon(not a great selection I know. I got a bit flustered during the draft) I do have Hazard though.
4. Foster or Vorm in goals?
5. At the back I've picked Mertesacker, Toure, Phil Jones, Lowton and Jagielka.
I left out Williams from Swansea, Baker from Villa and Shawcross from Stoke. Good calls or bad calls?
I'm in but there are two mini gaa leagues one is a continuity one not sure who has the rights to the official one!

Sturridge, Kone and Lambert

Only if you can afford him. I've a feeling he might not start either game, but will come off the bench.
3. I need to pick two midfielders from Arteta, Giacherrini, Walters, Bellamy or Lennon(not a great selection I know. I got a bit flustered during the draft) I do have Hazard though.
Arteta is injured, so Walters and Bellamy. You're right. Not much there!
4. Foster or Vorm in goals?
Foster.
5. At the back I've picked Mertesacker, Toure, Phil Jones, Lowton and Jagielka.
I left out Williams from Swansea, Baker from Villa and Shawcross from Stoke. Good calls or bad calls?
Good calls.
See answers!
Thanks a mill Norf Tyrone. I'll gamble on Frank so - money isn't really an issue, since I've very few expensive players in my squad. I'll be fighting an uphill battle with the squad I drafted. I made the mistake of picking Bale as well and he's 1/2 with the bookies now to go to Real. Still, ya never know what will happen and I have the option of drafting 5 previously undrafted players from Fulham, Arsenal, West Brom or Hull so I'm hoping a new star will emerge there.

Def go with Van Wolfswinkle (1 in 2 record for Sporting) and Giacherrini. Had a great Confed cup!
Just saw your post now Walter. Too late for this week but I might bring one of them in next week. Cheers anyway.
