What league do I join?

-PB

Joined.

Picked a fairly dud team.

I suck @ Fantasy shit, guess it's all about picking players that you know will play every week?

-PB

This

So is imno's thread different?

-PB

yep, its a forum comp, pv4 confirmed just a small group in it
this is the one with blackjack and hookers, it was my mistake putting it in ET

Imno's thread is a completely different format, and the thread itself IS the game.

Just signed up. Haven't done one of these for about five years. Here's my team



Subs - Young, McGowan, Kalik, Fofanah

Is there a private league I can join?

What's the code?

I put those codes in and it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Worked for me.

Maybe remove the dash?

Never mind. It worked this time. I'm in.

OP edited with league codes

For me the salary cap seemed too easy this year.
This is the start point. I have a few changes to make over the next few weeks as I decide on players form, injuries etc.

Coe
Risdon - Leijer - Ramsey
Flores-Saba-Broich-Koren
Cirio-Berisha-Sanchez
Bench: Young-Madaschi-Gligor-McGowan

Some people complained about the cap so they added an extra 300K. :(

Yep, but what sort of skill is there if everyone can pretty much afford any players and not have to be strategic in picks.

Precisely this is fantasy football not Fifa its meant to be had to build a team. By having a bigger cap it also eliminates the need to create team value which should be a major part of the game.

Torak, that team is insane! Absolutely shocked you've managed to get that.

Second guessing myself on Berisha. Really concerned that he is going to continue his manner of getting sent off.
Also made a few other changes too. Felt defence was too weak. Feel that i am more balanced accross the team now.

Keepers
Coe - Arguably has the best defence infront of him. Tough start with WSW, ADL & MC, but 2 at home. Probably the best pick of the keepers at $225k. Other thought is Moss at $200k, but likely to miss games with the All Whites.
Young (Bench) - Theo out makes this an easy pick. Hopefully pick up some value over the first 8-9 rounds and able to then trade to another starter as BU.

Defenders
Rose - at 200k is a steal, never scored under 90 points for the season. In the last 4 seasons he has scored 6 goals and had 17 assists.
Bojic - With the improvement of SYD you would expect a few more CS. On average over the last 4 full seasons he has averaged over 4 points per game.
Smith - One of the best defensive players in the league, gets forward and scores the odd goal. Averaged 100 points in his 3 full seasons. If he can do that again ill be happy.
Bench
Mcgowan - Easy backup choice at $100k. Looks to have locked down a starting spot, but wont be a big scorer in my opinion avoiding on field if possible.
Madashi - Same as Mcgowan, cheap playing bench player.

Midfield
Koren - Looks the goods in preseason, is a level above most midfielders in the comp and i think he will get quite alot of assists.
Broich - Nuff Said
Saba - Risky pick as i haven't seen much yet. From what im hearing is he will be the player that will set up alot of WSW goals.
Khalfallah - Looked strong the other day, after a few more preseason games he has the potential to be the link between Finkler and the Victory forwards
Bench
Gligor - Cheap bench player that should get some time.

Forwards
Sanchez - Looked good in preseason and gelling really well with the Adelaide Spanish contingent. Has a proven goal scoring and assist record in Spain. With the potency of Adelaide at 200k he is a steal.
Cirio - The player in the best form in preseason in my opinion. Cant stop scoring and most of adelaides attacks end up to him
Keogh - Probably wont be the standout forward, but he should be the end point for alot of Perths goals. However few they may be.

With the changes i made i reckon at worst i lose 50 points from Berisha > Keogh, Flores > Khal i think is even, Think i make 80-100 points up from the 3 defender changes.

thats some top work on the analysis torak!!
where have you been finishing the last couple of seasons?

Never really focused on it, so didn't play it through to the end.
Always done the EPL average about 100k. Did my first proper SC this year and finished 200/215000

My team:

A-League.com one has launched as well and looks to be interesting. Seemingly follows the supercoach model of fantasy for anyone who has played it.
