I hope you brought that popcorn from Anfield (via Spain) as it's the best popcorn in the universe. :)

On another note, What about RvP eh? The new Dennis Bergkamp. Van Basten was right when he said RvP is the future of Dutch footy.

Murphy is miles better than van Persie mate; he has three times as many points in the Fantasy league. :buds:

Yeah I agree totally; been seriously impressed with him. Looks like there will be life after Henry afterall.

Why don't you just post the scores Flight?
I'm uber curious now as to what has got you so defensive (wait are you managed by Benitez? :p).

Fantasy football scores are not going to tell you everything about how a player is performing.

Pass completion which I think is one of the most important stats for a midfield player is not taken into account. Tackling in any form is completely overlooked. Fantasy footy is all about playing in the game, goals for and goals against which tells you f'all about how an individual player is really performing.

While true, there is are very few other ways to gauge a players current form. Lets be Honest Murphys playing brilliant so far this season and Garcia is pretty woeful in the league (I hardly think tackling is going to make much difference to his score anyway ;) ), and the other one Chavy Alonso is only just starting to play well now, so I'd take Murphy over them both - he scores more, he's looks to be passing well and he far more consistant. It comes as no surprise Players like Murphy and Nolan are near the top as they have been 2 of the stars of the Prem this season so far. While Flight goes on about Makelele being a better player can you honestly say Chelsea are a better team for his inclusion? Would Chelsea be several points worse of without him? No I think not, but Charlton without Murphy and Bolton without Nolan would be much worse off, and don't even mention Scholes he seems to have retired from football altogether rather than just International.

I didn't actually start managing mine properly until gameweek 8. I forgot all about it. I had 6 injuries in the first team when I did look. :(

I will have to disagree on the Makelele front. He was awesome at the start of the season although I have no idea about his recent form. (Last few games)

Without Makalele, Lampard couldn't play the way he does. He is essential for Chelsea and has been missed when he hasn't played. However, because he doesn't get forward and score goals or provide many assists, he won't score many points on the Fantasy League.

The Fantasy League only really rewards Goalkeepers for Clean Sheets, and Midfielders and Strikers for Assists and Goals. Its not really a very good indication of players form tbh.

Sorry my mistake I meant the one they brought recently Essien. Not Makeekekekekekeeke.
