Neowin Fantasy Premiership Season 2007-2008


Recommended Posts

James is the keeper :D

I highly doubt that but seeing it for myself will help me make a more thorough judgment @farsightxc2

Was only jking anyway mate, your midfield is much better than mine for a start!!

Hi all!

So the Premiership is finally off and running! At last!

There were some good results for the newly promoted teams this week, with McShane, Wallace and Todd all getting into this weeks dream team....and, well, the less said about spurs the better... :pinch:

In the Neowin League, Tushar Pai Angle's DevilReds are leading the field with a stonking 63 points. Close behind, and the only other team to score above 60 points this week, is Conor McKevitt's Villa all the way.

Good luck for next week!

Hello again, time for another league update:

The premierships 'big four' teams all got their acts together with wins this week, with Liverpool beating Sunderland, Chelsea beating a good Portsmouth side, Arsenal getting a win over Man City and Manchester UTD beating a plucky spurs side, clearly rocked by their recent problems off the field.

High scoring players in this weeks Dream Team include Casper Schmeichel, who is following in the steps of his father and fast becoming a very good Premiership keeper, scoring 8 points this week. Pick of the defenders is Wigans Scharner, scoring 8 points, whilst Nani and Fabregas picked up 11 points a piece. This weeks top scorer was Birminghams Jerome with two goals, and 13 points this week, with Anelka close behind with 12 points.

In the Neowin league, Khalid Al Khalifa has taken an early lead on 194 points, scoring 56 this week, and now 11 points ahead of the competition. Liam Lawson's team 'Bill & Ted' and Rob Pears' Sky Blue All Stars are close behind, though, in joint second place, both on 183 points, although Rob scored slightly more points this week with 48.

Good luck for next week!

Hi all!!

Having been very lazy the last few weeks, I thought it was high time for an update!

The last few weeks have brought a lot of suprises, many shock results and a lot of new players have come through the ranks. The performance of both Man City and Portsmouth's players this season have been excellent, and this is represented in their positions in the premiership this season (third and fifth respectively). The performances of Elano, Petrov and Benjani have been particularly good, and this is justly represented in their places in the dream team. The rest of the top four, however, is less of a suprise with Arsenal, Manchester UTD and Chelsea occupying the Champions League positions. Liverpool should not be written off either, though, as the recordbreaking 8-0 vicotry last night in the Champions League demonstrates (Benayoun, Gerrard, Crouch and Babel all getting on the scoresheet).

At the other end of the table, Bolton and Tottenham are two teams which many may have thought would do better, with both being tipped for UEFA Cup places at the beginning of the season. The loss of Big Sam has clearly had an impact on Bolton, and Spurs backroom mistakes have resulted in the sacking of Martin Jol. Will the appointement of Ramos turn the club around?

But enough of that, back onto the league that matters:

At the top of the table, and leading by a huge margin of 17 points are manager Telvinder Dosanjh's Tel's Terrors 2. Once again, they had an impressive week, scoring 59 points. On level pegging, and hot on the tail of the Terrors are Martyn Fielding's Liverpool FC and Conor McKevitt's Villa all the way. They lead fourth Fazul Hassan's You wan sole finga! in fourth spot by 17 points.

At the wrong end of the table, and relegated to the second page are Nathan Mahdavi's Mahdavi, Stuart Bradbury's Y2City & Jarik Solo's Petrified Potatoes. Good luck to the three of you in pushing onto the first page!

As for the top points scorer this week, look no further than john simpson's Liverpool Yangers, who scored a whopping 76 points this game week. Unfortunately, the wooden spoon goes to Jarik Solo's Petrified Potatoes, who only managed to score 27 this week.

Good luck Neowinians, and sorry this review was so long in coming!!

Excellent post Farsight! It is a shame that a lot of other Neowinians are not more active in this thread, as it has the potential to have some great banter. International football is postponing the league a bit though, but after England get dumped out of Euro 2008 before it even begins then we will be back on track :D

Oh, and if you win this years league then I will be lodging an appeal to the FA :p

Ta for the "cookie" as well :D

Ta Martyn, will try to do it a bit more regularly but i'm so busy atm!!! And my team aint doing so great this year....languishing in 15th atm :(

Yeah, shame about England. I've got over it now but at the time was gutted, although I let out a laugh of disbelief (if there is such a thing) when they went 2-0 up so early on. So many things wrong with the whole set up we could be here all night discussing them (and have spent many heated hours down the pub doing so too!) With a bit of luck the FA and those bods in charge will use the time between tournaments for some major reforms in the England set up and get us back on the road to sucess.

Premiership is hotting up too, shame spurs are doing so fugging rubbish though. Cummon Ramos, you can do it....

And the cookie has unfortunately been turned into a 'Go Vegan' sign by the host for some unknown reason.....serves me right for hotlinking off google!!! Ah well.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
