Calling All Neowinians!

Once again it is time to begin The Official Premiership Fantasy Football Thread! :)

The new league code is 4715-1808

The competition is now into it's sixth year. Congratulations to John Simpson for winning 08/09 with an absolutely amazing 2171 points, finishing an incredible 134 points ahead of second place Conor McKevitt! John has joined the elite group of previous winners - is it your turn this year??

Previous Winners

09/10 - .......................................................?????

08/09 - John Simpson's Liverpool Yangers

07/08 - Telvinder Dosanjh's Tel's Terrors 2

06/07 - Andy Saunders FaRSightxc2's Team

05/06 - Andy Saunders FaRSightxc2's Team

04/05 - Pete Gaulton's The Toffeemen

So, who are the key men for this year?

With Ronaldo off, Gerrard and Lampard must surely be the key men in a midfield, with Torres and Rooney good bets for the striking positions. But is Owen worth a gamble? Fulham's excellent defensive record might make Schwartzer a good choice for a goalkeeper, but will Europe tire the small squad? Tottenham's Gomes, despite a dodgy start to the season, was also responsible for the least goals conceded at White Hart Lane for decades. Or will Van der Sar have another quiet year? And what of the new clubs? Wolves, Birmingham and Burnley will all be fighting for their lives. There have been few signings so far; but how will newcomers to the league perform with big names such as Deco flattering to deceive at Stamford Bridge?

As usual, to newcomers, it might help to take a quick look at the rules:

For those that haven't played before, go to http://fantasy.premierleague.com/index.html and click REGISTER. Follow the instructions, read the rules (link below), pick a team and register for the Neowin league. This is done by clicking 'Leagues' on the right hand side, entering the number '4715-1808' into the box, and clicking 'Join League'.

You can make transfers - one a week for free - but if you make any more in the same gameweek 4pts will be deducted from your total score. Players get points for things such as playing 60 mins, scoring, keeping a clean sheet or getting assists. However, the Fantasy Manager should be aware that players can also lose points for yellow or red cards. All rules, regulations, including how scoring works etc are listed in the following link: HELP/Rules. This includes info on how players score, when substitutes get points etc. Also look out for the 'Transfer Wildcard' option which is now available ( Transfer Help ). This enables you to make an unlimited amount of transfers in a single gameweek for free at one point during the season.

Once again, good luck to everyone!!

I'm not going to promise I will be any more active in the thread during the coming year, very busy at the moment, but I will try and pop in periodically to post updates as and when :D

I've barely logged in of late, I started the season really well but since January I have hardly had time to check my team due to being busy with Uni :(

'Busy'? 'Uni'?

Doesn't sound like my time at University! :p

    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • AMD 9070XT

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
