British fantasy football league

Blimey Sin. You need to get out more

I've just got in and then I'm gone Friday for most of November, mush.

Only 17 points with Fat Frank and Cesc in my team?

I noticed I was 50.1m too, Lions maths but be as dodgy as his FF team.. Im sure Im good.

I also noticed that last week that your predictions had us both on 285 points (but we both ended on 278) so we both lost 7 points somewhere.. although I let it go however, if your going to investigate it, can you look at mine too..

I'm off to check my transfers and make sure it was Lions fault and not mine..

I vote for Sin to do all the ground work seeing as he always has something to say about how it is done currently

50.1m might be right..

Here's my account..
I 'think' my team value was 49.8 and I made the following tfr:
warnock 3.1 --> arbeloa 3.4

The problem was I thought warnock was valued at 3.3 as I cleary stated this in my email to Lions. Perhaps why he didnt spot it. (apologies to Lions too)

I've no problem if the tfr is revesred, I wouldn't benefit from it either.

Jury?

And Micah Richards

Mr. Lions is the jury, but you might want to ask bluedave what happens, because he made the same offence last season.

I've PM'd Lions in on the case..

Unsure if it makes the blindest bit of difference but:
1) Shouldn't that have been caught before the tfr was agreed/made?
2) the guy I brought in didnt even play.. thats punishment enough.

IMO best way to handle this (taking point (2) into the consideration):
- I'll make another tfr this week to bring the value under 50m again..

I'll await the verdict.

Not sure if Lions is away as not heard from him...

I'm away on Friday morning so if there is no verdict out, then I take it I need to bring my team value back under 50m asap!
So here my tfr for this week (ive emailed Lions too), but you can all see it here first..

Torres OUT --> Robbie Keane IN

Hope that sorts it all out and everyone (sin) is happy.

Lions must be here. He is writing to other threads but somehow avoiding this one

We need clarification from 3 Lions, but I think you have to transfer out the offending last player who broke the £50m limit.

OK

option 1) Last weeks tfr is undone, (do i get the extra points )
option 2) torres OUT and robbie keane IN (that brings it well under 50m)

Whatever Lions says goes and so I'll go with that.

I'll sort this tomorrow (I'm one of a select few who likes to work krout bank holidays)

I think managers going over the limit shouldbe fined 10 points

eh?? T'was a simple error.. and Lions missed it too.. I even lost points because of it.. grrr

Why? When we can cut his little fingers off instead.

Thought I might show up to take my well deserved abuse for the week and see the dream of "Wenger's Lovechild FC" slip a bit further away from me...

On the plus side, i got a 50 inch TV as a housewarming gift so I've acquired satellite and Setanta USA - so my intelligence gather capabilities have expanded exponentially. Now if only I could somehow eliminate all the fooking egg chasing I'd be happy.

A whole 50" widescreen huh? I bet those six goals looked spectacular.

The site is down at the moment, so I'm unable to update the file!

Micah Richards likely to be out for a while.

did anyone receive the file today?

Take a look at post 420, Lions can't update at the moment.

I found the post where bluedave went overbudget last year:


Looks like if a manager goes overbudget, that the last player picked scores no points, and another transfer must be used to transfer out that last offending player to bring the team within budget.

Can you confirm 3 Lions?

Cheers Sin,

fair enough, my player didnt score any points anyway and is now injured karma!
In that case heres my tfr for next week (option2 above). I've already PM'd & emails Lions with it.

Here is this weeks table. MotM for October is Expat Mat, 10€ is on its way back to you.

@Sin - File fixed, you have your 7pts back.
@Flashmac - Any points that Arbeola has score you are invalid for the weeks you were over budget. You've sent me a transfer to fix the error, which comes in to effect this weekend. Total points deduction is 0pts.

Methinks something has definitely gone wrong here cos my transfers take my spend up to 50,0 dead. That might explain my lack of points.

I've not put in all the changes for this weekend yet.

These were for last weekend though mate.

You sent me the PM on the 26th, transfers take effect the following Wednesday e.g. the 31st. Reason I'm doing it this way is thats how the telegraph points are updated. Last year got to be a bit of a headache when transfers were done and midweek games happened cos I'd decided at the time to allow changes to go in the very next Saturday. I'd have people in the league scoring points for one of the games and not the other.

Oh shit, i sent them last friday thinking they would be in for that weekend. Wahhh, woe is me.

€10. Wahay! Had to happen eventually!

Waiting for Sin to tell us who's having a dream and who's having a mare.

Almost as good as those two dropped points this morning my friend.

Nobody really. It's a bit like the Premiership, not a lot has changed, it's even closer at the top, and there are still 2 games to go.

Come on Sin.. show us your predictions..

He can't yet, City v Sunderland tonight.

Surely none of us have been daft enough to include City or Sunderland players?

How's the new manager working out Jimbo?

Big game coming up for you to save your season eh?

You won't be saying that after Elano's hat trick tonight.

I took Chopra out for K. Jones. Hope he does something good today.

Nope! not a sausage!

Sunderland... at home.

6-0 drubbing at Fratton Park next mate.

You were saying?

I get this prediction:

1 Ihsan's Shade 408
2 Devils FC 406
3 You Essexy Thing 384
4 Super Brits 368
5 Sin City FC 358
6 Solent Gale 357
7 The Solettes 353
8 Komland 350
9 Expat XI 346
10 Augustiner United 329
11 Spunkalot Rapalots 327
12 Blue Moon FC 325
13 Gallus FC 322
14 Windy City Waterboys 321
15 Crawlies Creepers 319
16 The Puddings 317
17 UnitedWeRise 302
18 FC Hazza Bollah 297
19 The Dog's Tackle 295
20 Wee Mun Wanderers 294
21 Five Man Back Four 276

Woohoo, 36 points and 2 places up the table, the Moon is turning blue again.

Think I might take a leaf out of Ramos' book and drop Berbatov. Useless cunt.

The Puddings are rising!
I had at least 3 yellow cards otherwise it would have been a very good week!

I'm with you on that one.

How much is he worth? Surely he'll be worth a few quid so I can get somebody good in. Probably a fucking gooner, but still. Needs must.
