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:

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!

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
