Games Virtual Sport EPL Fantasy Discussion

[WeninRome]

Hey all, can't see a thread on this one so I thought I would start one up.

To get things started, here is my current team.

Hilario (Harper)
Bale, Bostingwa, Koscienly, Boateng, (Senderos)
Lampard (c), Arshavin (vc), Essien, Silva (Riveros)
Anelka, Chamakh (McCarthy)

Hilario is in till Cech get's back...His value should increase significantly during this time.

Bostingwa, Koscienly, Boateng and Senderos are all fantastic value picks

Lampard, must have!!! Essien and Silva are massive value as well due to injury and new transfer in

Anelka to get plenty of action while Drogs is out and Chamakh is a very attractive striker (can't pick RVP based on his dreadful WC form...same goes for Rooney.)

What are your theories, selections, must haves and breakout year players??

 

[Surf Goon]

My initial squad:

Gomes (Tott)
Cole (Chels), Johnson (Liv), Boateng (Man City)
Gerrard (Liv), Bale (Tott), Nani (Man U), Adam (BlackPool), Petrov (Bolt)
VP (Ars), Doyle (Wolves)

Subs:
Harper (New)
Dawson (Tott), Shawcross (Stoke)
Boselli (Wigan)


Hopefully Bale can continue where he left off last year...
I am sure this squad will be chopped and changed 100 times between now and Season kick off...

Adam was one of my choices too but he is out injured till september..

BigFooty league code of 270303 for those that don't have one yet..

 

[Atavistic]

Apparently Cech is out for the first week or two of the season, so Hilario's price probably won't change.

Have joined as Nieso FC

 

[Five long bones]

The Bare Bones are back for more, there are a few familiar names in there, if the winner of last seasons Bigfooty 2 would like to step up to the mark, I can`t quite recall the name, she did quite well overall though

Just wondering how you got Bale into the midfield as he's listed as a defender?

May want to be careful with Hilario & Anelka as Drogba & Cechthey look like they will be back earlier then 1st thought, possibly even the 1st game

Chelsea
D Drogba Gilmores Groin 14th Aug 10
Alex Hip/Thigh Injury 21st Aug 10
P Cech Calf/Shin Injury 14th Aug 10

Yep you are spot on...Hilario out Foster in...BIRM have a very solid defence. Anelka out also

Van der Sar (Fabianski)
Bosingwa, Heitinga, Koscielny, Boateng (Senderos)
Gerrard, Essien, Silva, Y Toure (Riveros)
Defoe, Chamakh (Hernandez)

Have about $5m spare for upgrades.

 

[grimlock]

Isn't Bosingwa out for the first couple of weeks?

ferdinand is injured, hilario won't get a game

mccarthy won't play either.

Maybe Andy Carroll - should play a lot of games for Newcastle.

 

[grimlock]

I went with

Foster
Mignolet

Terry
Vidic
Koralov
Koscielny
Van Damme

Valencia
Essien
Cole
Silva
Holden

Tevez
Anelka
Ormerod

 

[Plugger35]

Glad I forked out the extra cash for Drogba, just a pity I couldn't afford Lampard as well, had to settle for Essien instead.

 

[Atavistic]

I jumped on Walcott last week - has had a huge price increase. I think in the next week or two I'll get on some of those cheap Wigan defenders and then cash them in.

The price movements are pretty large.

 

[Atavistic]

The Sportal comp is back on again. Some changes: subs don't score half points, but they now sub for a player that misses; there's a lone striker formation (4-5-1).

My team:

G: De Gea, Given
D: Vidic, Ivanovic, Vermaelen, Jones, Gibbs
M: VDV, Young, Bale, Benayoun, Taarabt
F: Rooney, Carroll, Holt.

 

[puntnut]

Is there going to be a bigfooty league this year? Would love to join.

Atavistic, wouldnt it be better to get cheap forwards and load up on the midfield as thats where the points will come from?
