Bah, I got off to a bad start last season and came second. I will be better this year...if not in what place I come, then what score I get!

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok I signed up with Yahoo! with some friends and family. Now, I follow Serie A much more than the Premiership but most of the people I know follow Premiership more so we did a league in that. Just want people's opinions on my team.

Diouf - will get way too many yellow cards and won't score enough.

Drogba - can't be garenteed a first team place, but did score twice in the community shield

Ronaldo - Good choice

De La Cruz - ok

Carsley - Good, solid player

Carrick - Will get a few assists

Ferdinand - Good

Distin - Man City have a leaky defence some times - might not get clean sheet points!

Delaney - OK

Finnan - Is he first-choice now? If not, you might want to change him.

Friedel - Good, solid keeper!

So, IMO, overall your team is pretty good. The only one I would really want to change is Diouf!

BTW -

The Neowin league is looking a bit sparce atm. Could anyone who reads this please put a link in their sig to entice more to join.....Like me!!!

With Diouf I'm hoping he'll accumulate some early goals before getting into trouble and raise his value and then I'll sell him for someone who will be more likely to be on the pitch every week.

I was torn between Drogba and Crespo to be honest. But I know Drogba has had a wonderful showing in their exhibitions here in the U.S. and in the Community Shield so I'm hoping he'll win out.

Just found out Distin is out for the first two weeks so he's getting sold anyway, lol.

I filled in my defense last so I basically just got whoever I could afford. I'm going to look at them more carefully before this Saturday. Thanks for the input

Standings so far:

Nice one farsight, keep it up mate (Y)

Ha Ha, ta!

I won't be counting my chickens yet though - absolutely ages left to go!!!

Edit

Actually, I am not sure if this is allowed on Neowin, but if any of the older members of Neowin who are legally allowed to bet want to put a couple of quid on them winning then post here or contact me... :shifty:

I appologise if posting this is against neowin rules...but since the league is outside Neowin's juristiction then I hope it's ok!!!

Thats a good team, all in all, although I would probably have replaced Shearer with Ellington, Camara or Harewood and used the money to buy a chelsea defender because they are more or less garenteed to keep clean sheets!

But yeah - a very good team, that!

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
