[Documad]

I love that you said "UK" in the title so we Americans wouldn't be confused. :)

[ToucanSpam]

[Beckalina]

[ToucanSpam]

[Beckalina]

[ToucanSpam]

Whats the group ID #?

[Stupid]

10389

[Freebasser]

Oh yeah, it's 10389.

[ToucanSpam]

I'm in. But only one other person is....

[Freebasser]

That's me :/

[ToucanSpam]

Wow.


Let's be friends.

[Stupid]

I can't think of a good team name. :(

[ToucanSpam]

Um, should I be buying players right now?


Because I am...

[franscar]

I wonder how many people will pick Patrick Kluivert.

[Freebasser]

Yes, you should be buying players. Word to the wise - you can probably only afford to buy one big name at the start of the season.

You do know all the best footballers don't you, Mr. Canadian? ;)

[Freebasser]

Toucanspam, you should buy Kleberson ;)

[ToucanSpam]

Im being a whore. I want Van Nistlerooy and Rooney. But it just cant seem to be done.

[paul jones]

I'll do it but I'm gonna think of what players I want over the next few days

[Freebasser]

(y)

If roosta doesn't join then I'll call him a cunt in every single post until I get banned.

RIP Damaja

[ToucanSpam]

i picked every cheap ass player at the bottom of every list and I still cant balance a team. WHat the purple fuck?

[Freebasser]

Mine is ok. It'll do for week 1 until I get some moolah.

[ToucanSpam]

DO I have to pick people from the team I selected only? :confused:

[franscar]

DO I have to pick people from the team I selected only? :confused:

No, you can usually only pick two or three players from the same team.

[Freebasser]

*bump*

League starts in a little under a weeks time, and we need more players, so come on you lazy cunts.

[wavin_goodbye]

i joined ..

[Freebasser]

(y) (y) (y)

[Mr_Complex]

It's not letting me join. It says there is an error with the server or the password is incorrect. I'll try again later.

[Freebasser]

I'm sure it's yahoo just being pissy.

[Freebasser]

The season starts in two days, so if you wanna play, now's the time to join.

[Freebasser]

This is the last time I'm bumping this before the season starts.

If you haven't joined up already, then I pity you.

[voltanapricot]

OMG I AM NOT JOINING unless the e-mail change fixes because I don't want to use my 'important things' address.

:(

[Freebasser]

You can always turn the emails off, or just consign them to your junk folder.

[PaddyBoy]

Ok I've just joined, Millington FC. Gotta go pick team.....

[paul jones]

[paul jones]

[Freebasser]

Should be Sunday or Monday if there's a game then (y)

[synch]

Just saw this, is it too late to join?

[Freebasser]

Probably :/

Give it a try and see anyway.

[ToucanSpam]

how soon do I know if I did well or not?

[franscar]

Wow. I had all of three people score points, and all defenders.

Start as you mean to go on, clearly.

[Freebasser]

I usually end up near the bottom at the end of week 1.

I knew picking Nigel Martyn two years in a row would come back to haunt me :/

TokenSperm, tables will be up by tonight according to Yahoo (y)

[zippo]

i like football.
but theres so much things going on in this fnatasy yahoo thread that i dont understand. is it like an online football match? i wanna play or something

[synch]

I'll try tomorrow Aid, too late for todays matches anyway and I don't want to see any spoilers yet :(

[Freebasser]

Basically you pick a squad of 11 players from any of the 20 teams in the top English division.

The idea is to pick the ones you think will do best each week, and keep track of injuries and stuff (no use having someone in your team who's out for a month for surgery in real life). they get points based on golas scored, yellow and red cards, saves made etc.

You don't get much money to kick off with though, so it's all a matter of pot luck in the early weeks :/

[Freebasser]

I'll try tomorrow Aid, too late for todays matches anyway and I don't want to see any spoilers yet :(

No probs (y)

Looking forward to your joining, Walter, old buddy old pal (y)

[ToucanSpam]

TokenSperm, tables will be up by tonight according to Yahoo (y)

[Freebasser]

[ToucanSpam]

[Freebasser]

I know absolutely nothing about Permier or any of the players.....

Or Premier, even ;)

[ToucanSpam]

Or Premier, even ;)
Exarctly. SO, I should probably do bad, right Aiden?

[Freebasser]

[ToucanSpam]

You know I could kick you out of the group if i wanted to, right? ;)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Don't. I like it. I think it's fun.

[Freebasser]

Anyway, Zipperooney - you can just go off the players ratings (you can click on weekly average to sort them by performance) and pick them that way.

You know you want to join ;)

[PuffinJunk]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Don't. I like it. I think it's fun.

You tease :P

[zippo]

[zippo]

cmon! what the hell do i do! do i put in BBMB in "Your team name" in "Create name"?

[Freebasser]

Sorry about this - the board keeps timing out on my computer for some reason.

You put your own team name in (i.e. "Zippo's Magical XI"). Any other help you need with playing can be found here (http://eur.help.yahoo.com/help/uk/uksoc/index.html).

[zippo]

ok thanks, i better do this another time when i have more patience though

[CrankItUp!]

*bump-bump bumpity bump!*

[diget]

Bam I joined!

I will rule all in football and futball!!!!!!!!!!

[PaddyBoy]

I know absolutely nothing about Permier or any of the players.....

Maybe he/she was talking about Kevin keegan, he was a permier stiker if ever there was one...

Anyway, my team did bad. Although Reo-Coker scored. Hopefully Thierry will bag a hat-trick tomorrow.

Go Millingtoooooooooooon!

[paul jones]

[Beckalina]

[ToucanSpam]

i reckon they shoud make proper fantasy football, where the players are like fantasy people and stuff like trolls and shit

They should make a quidditch fantasy league.

[Beckalina]

Geek.

[paul jones]

no,that sounds good! (y) :D

[ToucanSpam]

Geek.
Muggle.

[Beckalina]

LOL

[ToucanSpam]

How do you gain more than 100 dollars?

[Beckalina]

You pick players who will increase in value so that you can sell 'em for cash (£ not $)

[PaddyBoy]

ah right! (y)

good luck,as eugene would say (y)

And well done for getting this far!

[Beckalina]

Wigan were robbed (n)

[Mr_Complex]

You pick players who will win you the fucking league!!!

[franscar]

I knew there was a reason I picked Crespo.

[paul jones]

And well done for getting this far!

THANK YOU!


*runs off with 50 grand to spend on transistors and radio equipment*

[synch]

Finally got around to making a team :)

I reckon that one week I missed will haunt me 'till the end :(

[PaddyBoy]

Can anyone explain to me about making more money from selling players? Is it when a player in your team increases in value, and you sell him and the extra profit is added to your dosh? You can have more that 100 credits?

[synch]

Yes, you should be buying players. Word to the wise - you can probably only afford to buy one big name at the start of the season.
I had no problems whatsoever. Maybe the players I picked are crappier than I realise :o

Im being a whore. I want Van Nistlerooy and Rooney. But it just cant seem to be done.
I could pick them both but I really really really really can't stand Rooney. I might regret it when he scores a hat trick but I don't think I could sleep at night with that... that... player in my team.

[synch]

You can get decent defenders starting at 5 points and decent strikers at 7.

I pretty much had my first'ish choice for every position :)

[synch]

I think the players are sorted by price so the further you go through the list the cheaper the players become. I've picked up some quality players from 5 points up... in what position do you need a player?

[synch]

I've got to get some sleep, I just realised that it's 03:22 :(

I'm going to leave you in Chris' able hands though! (franscar)

Night! :)

[franscar]

I'm going to leave you in Chris' able hands though! (franscar)

Night! :)

Able? When the fuck did that happen?

[synch]

Pfff, apparently less able than I thought, unless you gave her some inside tips by pm...

Hmmmm...

[Mr_Complex]

I'm sitting nicely in second place, which is where I spent most of last season.

[Stupid]

Oh yes, I'm first. :D

[Beckalina]

bragging looks ugly on you claire :mad:

[Stupid]

:p

[Beckalina]

and you've got the best team name :mad:

[Stupid]

Thanks to Paul Jones. (y)

[synch]

Please realise that I'm going to use the excuse of missing this first week throughout the season, even if I'm six billion points behind.

Just sayin'.

[Beckalina]

yeah i'll be doing that too

[synch]

Anyone still paying attention to this? :)

[ToucanSpam]

I am synch, religiously. I'm putting a fair amount of effort into doing well. I think I'm 6th right now, and theres a lot of season left to play.

[synch]

I had two good rounds and jumped quite a few places.

Oh and yes, I will keep reminding you lot of the fact that I missed the first round :D

[Freebasser]

Who's laughing now, Walt? ;)

[synch]

No clue, will tell you after MOTD ;)

[Freebasser]

Hopefully it will be me :(
