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!

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

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!

      So say we all.

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
