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

WWWOOOO winning already with 46 points, and I still have points to come in as i got Utd players in my team :woot: :woot:

You arn't winning any more! :p

Well done to everyone so far!

These are the current standings after week one:

Not bad considering 3 of my players scored nothing as they didnt play
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.

That explains your position on yesterday's table... Nice recovery, this is going to be a good competition!

Is anyone going to post their teams now?

Noooo not first anymore!!

I'll post my team then:

Keeper: Sorensen (Aston Villa)

Defenders: Silvestre (Man Utd)

Naysmith (Everton)

P Neville (Man Utd)

Midfielders: Gerrard (Liverpool)

Keane (Man Utd) Captain

Wright-Phillips (Man City)

Okocha (Bolton)

Speed (Bolton)

Forwards: Vassell (Aston Villa)

Cisse (Liverpool)

Subs:

Keeper: Kiely (Charlton)

Defender: Popovic (Crystal Palace)

Powell (Crystal Palace)

Forward: Morrison (Birmingham)

It's ok I guess seeing as I'm second in league now :happy:

Edited by Powa

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

    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
    • The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop data 'Google Chrome' is downloading for Chrome without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing 'Microsoft Edge' on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
