Recommended Posts

Is anyone doing the fantasy league with the Telegraph? I did the Neowin one last season but had trouble registering for this one so am doing the Telegraph with some mates. Just wondering how other people are getting on?

Ahh your that git person who is in front of me :p!

Umm yeh, sorry about that lol.

Yet another good week, 104 points so far this weekend, thats a personal best for me. Ronaldo x3, Tevez x2, Torres, Adebayor, Davis, Larrson, Lescott all got goals this weekend.

Any more updates guys cause I am moving up the table!

You have been moving up the table for the last few years :p

Farsight does not have the time to write his little summary's about the gameweek he used to do unfortunately. I'd feel like I'd be doing him a diservice if I took over and wrote my own crap version of what he used to do.

In the mean time though, here is a league table...

Nah... Seriously...I am 8th. I plan to be atleast 7th and maybe even 6th after this upcoming round.

I beat you in December and January... easily and you are 4 points ahead of me in Febuary.

I am seriously climbing up!

I was just joking :p

I am currently third, and I would be happy to finish there or maybe move up to second if I do well. I have no chance of winning, Tel is to far ahead!

I made it into the top 10! With a good gameweek (this week) I can move into the top 6 or 7! I am going to be in the top 4 by the end of it!

Our League is ranked 840 out of 113,017! Thats pretty good I reckon!

You have been saying that for years :p

Red and White Kop (RAWK), which I frequent, has its own league as well and it is ranked 48th!

I hope to do better next year, but I paid for transfers 3x this year due to injuries etc.. I have quite a decent team but it looked very different at the start of the season!

Now (Since January 16th 2008)

At one point I was 49th (having spent outside the transfer window) then bounced between 35th and 40's now 42nd.

Well done everyone!

Well done everyone, congrats to Tel for his awesome score and winning! Sorry to all for being absolutely useless at keeping this thread updated, but there we go :$

I have renewed the league for next season here for the 08/09 season, so GL to everyone with that!!! Have also included a list of the winners for the last 4 years. Does anyone know if there was a league started before the 04/05 season, and if so, who won? Will add it to the list if there is one!

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
