Jay Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Anybody interested in having a VC league created? I am up for any site but the Guardian's (http://www.guardian.co.uk/fantasyfootball) this year seem interesting with the new point system Don't just pick the obvious players. Guardian Fantasy Football is far richer than most fantasy football games. Players don't just score points for clean sheets, assists and goals, but saves, accurate crosses, tackles and more. More about the scoring. Facebook could be another option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Personally, I think goals scored by goalkeepers should be worth more, unless they're on free kicks. I'd be interested if I weren't so out of touch with who's who in the EPL these days. Even so, maybe I'll do some studying and join up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I love EPL but it's impossible to get it over the pond so I don't know what the hell is going on, ever. If I knew / take time to know, I will be up for this too. The only thing I know is that I would pick Fernando Torres very, very quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Once you've got your team click on Friends' Leagues and type the following in the Join a Friends' League boxes: League Name: VCPassword: wilco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Not impossible: Fox Soccer Channel. With Comcast I have the sports pack which includes Fox Soccer Channel (has EPL, Italian Serie A, MLS, Argentine league and Fox Football Fone-In) and GolTV (German and Spanish leagues) for only $7/mo. Also, if you don't have DirecTV or the Dish you can get Setanta Broadband for $15/mo. It has the EPL matches not on Fox Soccer Channel plus Coca Cola Championship, Dutch and French leagues. It's just a bummer there's no way to get the games on FSC (online) if you cannot get it through your cable or satellite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 what site are using ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 This one: http://www.guardian.co.uk/fantasyfootball That's what I set up the league for, but I am up for a different site if anybody likes. I just like the scoring system of the Guardian game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Where can I get an injury report? Does the EPL have the same injury reporting rules that US leagues have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Injury and match ban updates http://www.fiso.co.uk/injurytable.php Individual teams sites should have an injury news page too. I know Arsenal does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 http://iknowthescore.premierleague.com/home.htm Fun (and maddening) too. Mini-leagues can be set up for this for anybody else who does it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tongue-tied lightning Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 1-0 for our Arsenal Gunners good start for Nasri Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yeah scoring 4 minutes into his debut is about as perfect as it gets. And he looked really good the entire match, working really well with Clichy too. A good day...the Arsenal win and the "new and improved" Tottenham lose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 very nice win for the Gunners against Chelsea, still a bit disappointed with the inconsistency Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Griddles Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 The good thing, for the gunners, is that no one is playing very consistently at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think Arsenal can beat any team in the world...the only problem is they'll lose to Stoke (or simular) the next match. So I'll be more convinced we are back with a win vs Wigan and then Middlesbrough than by beating Chelsea (though that was really fun). Even though they are only one point off the top, I think Chelsea have really hurt there title chances by only taking 1 of 9 points vs the other top 3, and all at home. So they will need to pull off a few road wins now. Not that I thought there was much chance of seeing Huntelaar at Arsenal, I was still disappointed that he signed (or will offically on Jan 1) with Real Madrid. The Dutch are flocking to Real Madrid like the French to Arsenal. Wouldn't mind seeing RM's Higuain at Arsenal someday, either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 nice 1-0 win today, getting back on track with our new captian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Jeez, talk about making hard work of it. Wigan could have been back in it several times but for poor finishing and good goalkeeping from Almunia. Still 3 points is 3 points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
