This thread will be used to keep track of tww fantasy (association) football leagues and other general fantasy stuff.

If there is any interest in starting a "Champions League" league, the group stages start the Sept. 13th. I made normal and head-to-head groups for tww:

http://en.uclfantasy.uefa.com/M/table.mc?id=8328 Code:43337-8328

So far, we have:

http://uk.premiership.fantasysports.yahoo.com/football/group/3248

I made one on ESPN before the EPL season started but no one joined

I'll ask this question again here since I only received one reply in the EPL thread.

Who do you start at forward?

Mata @ Sunderland
or
Adebayor @ Wolves

If Adebayhor is slated to get 90 minutes, go with him.

That's what I was thinking. Adebayor has to be the Spurs' first option and hopefully Modric and Parker can get him the ball in space. Mata was amazing the 30' he was in two weeks ago, but I don't know if he can repeat that performance or where he stands in their lineup. I never saw him play at Valencia.

Mata is very good, but I need to see how he fits in the rotation.

Any suggestions for a good cheap striker in the Champions League? I'm talking maximum of 5.0 or preferably the best 4.0

What are some of the options at 4.0?

These are the most popular out of the 4.0 strikers. I was thinking Altintop, but only because of his twin brother.



Just fyi, the last two numbers are 'price' and '% of teams owning.'

Not much to go on with those but I'd go with Ailton if you had to pick someone off that list. He at least starts and plays for APOEL which is about as good as it gets for someone worth 4.0.

[Edited on September 9, 2011 at 12:07 PM. Reason : I also like the group that APOEL is in as well. Pretty easy.]

Thanks. I just ended up going with a squad of 'players I know from Football Manager.' 13 out of 15 isn't bad with the other two being 4.0 subs.

Do teams release their line-ups/bench anytime before the match begins? Just curious because Dzeko didn't make an appearance today and I had read somewhere Aguero was doubtful to play.

No longer in last place! Still praying that Newcastle can keep a clean sheet against QPR.

Don't forget to join both Champions League groups. One is still good, too. Zero is unacceptable.

New Champions League group for ESPN

Search 'tww'. It's public so no password needed. The GUI is crappy, but it'll be fun.

Also be sure to join the other Champions League groups:

I haven't watched any of these guys outside of Football Manager. I'm just hoping they perform like they do in the game.

If we get three people, we can duel other leagues. I want to challenge the UVA group or another ACC school.

Looks like we tied Miami 26-26. All the other schools haven't accepted our duels yet (pussies).

I challenged USF and UT Law so hopefully we can assert our dominance (or equality) against them.

Kun good for 20 points today...too bad that's more than the other 10 players on my team scored combined. Thanks Huth for -1, Jose Enrique & Holt for 0, Cahill and Suarez for 1 on the week

I definitely gambled and lost with two stoke defenders (Huth and Shawcross). They play Man U next week so they're definitely riding the pine.

On ESPN, I left Vorm, Smalling, and Dempsey on the bench and they each had more points than any player on my team other than Aguero.

Best in Week 5:

Premier League - Larsson (13 pts)
Yahoo! - Aguero (26.5 pts)
ESPN - Bramble (14 pts)

ESPN - Ramires and Ba (15 pts)

Way to go, Richard Dunne He's done playing on my squad for the rest of the season.

I'm giving Dzeko one more week to put up some decent points before I look at another forward. I jumped on his bandwagon after his 4 goal game and he's been quiet since.

Also, Champions League Stage 2 starts tomorrow. Set your squads if you haven't already.

Better chance of a clean sheet tomorrow:

Newcastle @ Wolves

Swansea vs. Stoke

yeah... I should have done a lot differently this week. Horrible all around.

Aguero gets injured. Richards and de Gea don't even play. No goal scorers.

Best in Week 7:

Premier League - Andrew Johnson and Frank Lampard (17 pts)
Yahoo! - Lampard (35.5 pts)
ESPN - Lampard (21 pts)

Holy shit, this is going to be an awful week.

The only good move so far was deciding to stick Gerrard in the lineup yesterday on a whim.
