This is will be more exciting than the premiership itself, haha! :D

[GameOverRob]

mmm i don't think so, but maybe in ur opinion hehe

[FaRSightxc2]

Well, not a bad start....

After a really quick look through everyone's teams, I make Andy Power the leader after day one with 46 points.

I, myself, am a litlle off the pace on 38, but somewhere around the top five.

A hell of a long way to go though lads! Hope all the teams you support did well today, or do well tomorrow :D

[Paul]

Liverpool didn't do as well as I hoped........damn Spurs, hehe :p

[FaRSightxc2]

I have also just noticed that I am top of the 'open' league I have joined! Result!

[S_Herbie]

With 2 matches today there are still points up for grabs...

[GameOverRob]

looks like you guys are doing pretty well so far, i still have 5 players that need to play thou, they are palying today so hopefully chealsea will do well and hopefully arsenal will as well.

COME ON HENRY!

Here is my Team:

BTW Okocha is a transfer that i made today to replace one of my injured players so he won't kick in till next weeks games

[FaRSightxc2]

Here is my team as I intend to line up for this weeks fixtures. Differences from last week are outlined below:

Kiely was on the bench for week 1, Jaaskelainen played because he was the home team. Jaaskelainen, however, is the 'away' keeper for week 2, so Kiely gets the nod.

Wright-Phillips played in week 1, but he is now replaced with Matt Holland (providing he recovers from injury) because Charlton play at home to Portsmouth - an easier fixture than Liverpool away.

Hitzelsperger has been transferd in place of Savage (who played for me in week 1) for three reasons:

1) Savage won't score in the next game

2) Savage has a pretty lame Diserplinery reccord

3) Aston Villa will concede less goals :)

*Note - this is my first ever attempt at Fantasy Football *

Ha ha, also just noticed this in Okotcha's profile:

Transfers in  4398

Transfers out 104

One good game and 4398 people sign him. Remember, he didnt score a single goal last year! :shifty:

I hope he doesn't dissapoint :D

[GameOverRob]
