Those aren't prizes. Those are penalties.
-
I shouldn't of mentioned the "prizes" it's scaring people off and now I have to hide from Anok.
-
Hey anin, didn't you read the correct grammar thread? It's shouldn't have-not shouldn't of. Get with it, aardvark! -
But I'm English and whichever way I choose to use or abuse MY language is the correct way. When you Americans can come up with a language of your own then you can tell us how to speak and write it until then you shouldn't of said anything.
-
Hey, I grew up in Brooklyn and, believe me, we have a language of our own. Unfortunately, every comment would get deleted, so I'm forced to use your imperialist vernacular.
-
Well seeing that you have a tough guy Brooklyn accent I am going to let you use English anyway you like.
-
-
Almost joined ... but, wrong Football!
I haven't a clue about the Premier League. LOL.-
It doesn't matter whether you know anything about it or not. Crpitt did quite well last year and she is a woman!
-
Do it anyway Rory -
I don't either but I'm a wee bit competitive so I joined. The only thing I know about it is what I learned from Family Guy. -
Okay ... I'm in. GO TEAM CANADA!!!!!!!!
-
-
I was robbed!
My team is in, this year I shall win.-
You weren't robbed you got exactly what you deserved, which was a very,very lucky third place.
-
I just got transfer happy, which will not not happen again.
-
-
what the beep, I'm in
anyone up for starting a fantasy NFL league? I do a fun one just for kin on Yahoo, I can make us one too. or we can use a different free site. let me know on my shout box.-
Woo Hoo
Down with the Pink Donkeh -
Nice one floor model! I look forward to thrashing you and proving man's innate superiority over woman.
-
don't count your nards yet... I've beaten many a man in fantasy sports in my time.
-
-
GO 49ers!
Oops! Wrong football, I guess (actually YOU have the wrong football!).-
No YOU have the wrong football.
-
American "football" is played with hands and real football is played with....errrr that's right! feet!
So join up and learn what a real game is like. -
nuh-uh! YOU do!
-
I'm a Lions fan, I always have the wrong football
-
I don't know anything about soccer (because everyone knows that soccer is soccer and not FOOTBALL).
-
I believe the oldest sport should have the right to the name football. Sooooooooooooo bye bye American football or as we like to call it girl's rugby.
-
I thought hanky panky was the oldest sport?
-
and the most fun
-
-
ok, how do I find the league? dumb it way down for me please.
-
Go here and register fantasy.premierleague.com/
Then I think it will take you to picking your team name and colours, then you pick your team. There is an autocomplete for the team picks, which is pretty good. -
ok did that, now how do I find all of you?
-
You go to the link and then register your details and then it will ask u if you want to join a league. put in the code above and you should join the BC league. Then you have 100 pounds to buy a team from all the premierships players.
You need:
2 Goalkeepers
4 defenders
4 midfielders
2 strikers
and a couple of subs -
Don't forget the keepers, seekers, beaters and chasers. -
Just hush Thrift and get your name down!
-
Meh, I'm more of a spectator.
But, you know, I'll cheer for whoever gets hit with the bludger and doff my cap to the player who gets the golden snitch. -
You seem to have mixed up Football and Guyball.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocyZ4NnPreQ -
Wait! Where do the Quaffle, the Bludgers and the Golden Snitch fit into all of this?
-
Lovely cone hats. I think Guyball could catch on.
-
GTally- Football, of course! Anin has it all wrong.
Of course, who wants to see that lavendar aardvark flying ABOVE us on a broom?
I mean, accident WAITING to happen. Mostly for those below. -
TSR -- Blech! Bring an umbrella! The aardvark has a weak bladder.
-
That's quite an insensitive remark Miss Thrifty! Lavender Aardvarks were nearly hunted into extinction because of the traditional use of Aardvark pubic hair for the Quidditch brooms.
The first Harry Potter film was the Aardvark communities Schindler's list. -
That would explain the lavender aardvarks I saw weeping at that first film.
I thought it was simply because Hogwarts was originally called Aardvarts.
-
-
ok I'm in!
-
Brilliant! Games are every Saturday afternoon so you can check on how you team did and obviously transfer players who aren't performing.
-
cool beans, I needed another Saturday sport. All I have is baseball (rounders to those who speak crooked) and that's just not enough.
-
Hey less of the crooked!
You now need to get the beer in, which has to be lager.
Also meat pies. -
I have an in for the meat pies, pasties I have a friend who sold them.
-
You are sure to win now
-
-
Since I'm crooked of body and terribly aged I'll sit on the sidelines with thriftshop and boo whichever team is winning.
-
Proud to have you here! Here is your assortment of flags to wave indiscriminately.
-
Come on NP you don't want to sit on the sidelines with the girls and cheer us masculine men on. You don't want people saying you are BC's version of young George W, do you?
-
or you could join and play with a few of us girls. you might even beat us,who knows. I dont know anything about it but I joined.
-
Hey, if I can play with the girls, I don't care if I win or lose.
-
well, where are you???
I just checked, where's your team?
-
-
Ill join. And Ill also join an NFL one if some one makes it-
Nice one Mr Bowles! Your mum isn't called Camilla is she?
-
I wasnt making a joke or anything... And no her name isnt camilla
-
Nice one as an expression is not limited to funny jokes, it is also used when you do something that one likes.
Camilla joke is in reference to Prince Charles Wife, Camilla Parker Bowles.
End translation. -
You know, Claire, if that counseling gig ever falls through, you could always start a pan-pond translational business.
-
It is a struggle edjumacating ewe folk.
-
I see. Thank you for translating.
-
It's a Commonwealth thing.
-
-
Can we not see other player's teams - who they picked, etc?
-
Yes after it starts I think.
-
Ah, kk. So for now my choices are a pure crap shoot, eh!??? LOL. That's fair. I do know a few of the names, as your Football does get good coverage by Canada's sports channels.
-
Rory, what part of Canada are you in?
I don't know any players either so count me in on the crap shoot! -
just google brazilian soccer players
-
I can provide some tips if you like?
I wouldn't cheat or anything -
Riiiight. Good thing I follow(ish) the premiere league.
-
To be fair if you set up an NFL thingy I will do it.
-
done.
-
I'm just outside of Toronto ...
-
I'm just outside of Buffalo, NY
-
-
The more, the merrier ... who else will join us?
-
Unashamed bump!
Come on people sign up for the game with the greatest prizes on earth....well ok maybe not but it's fun! -
hey I played this last season...but I wasnt a member of BC then....Erm theres another one on espnstar.com....NFC Manager. -
great....forgot the password of my old email address...gonna have new team...
-
Okay ... some questions about playing this fantasy game.
- Is the selection of the Captain important?
- What's the difference between "Form" and "Value"?
- Is Substitution automatic? When do they get put into the game?
- Depending upon how our players perform in a given week, do we get "points" for picking up others, etc?
That's all for now!! -
Your captain gets more points.
Form- How well they have played
Value- based on form
If games are on separate days than substitutes are automatic, if games are on same day you have to decide who is going to the most valuable.
Not sure what you mean about the player perform thingy.
These are all girl answers -
Thanks for those answers - guess a better way of asking the last question is: Are we stuck with 100 pts to man our team or do our pts increase from week to week - based upon our team's performance - so we can drop weaker players to pick up stronger players?
Or, do we have to keep within that 100 point structure throughout the whole season? -
No you have that 100 points all the way through but if you change a 10 point player who isn't performing for a 6 point player you keep those 4 points and next time you make a sub you add those points on. So you would have the cost of the player subbed plus the 4 left over from your last sub.
Like Claire said the captain scores double so it's best to have a goal scorer or a creative midfielder as your captain.
As a general tip for you the top teams are:
Man utd
Arsenal
Chelsea
Liverpool
Aston villa
Man city
If you pick players from these teams as your majority you won't go far wrong.
-
-
Sounds good!!
We're up to 7 people now ... any more?? -
Bump!
We still need more people!-
I agree!
-
-
Also I think the BC admin should join too and organise a prize.
If ruddy purple mayonnaise gets a prize, we should too! -
Season starts tomorrow so make your free transfers while you can.
Also more people join -
Sure, I'll play! Came in the top 1000 last season in FPL, doubt I'll do so well this time around but I'll give it a go!
Few tips for anyone playing. GW2 see's a lot of teams not playing... try to take that into account when picking your starting lineup. This season transfers carry for a week, so if you pick a team that will play in the first two Gameweeks then you'll have 2 transfers to play with come the start of gameweek 3. You have been warned
Also more often than not, Midfield is where the big points are at. Lampard at the head of the diamond of Chelsea's midfield this season seems the best bet for a must have. -
I checked my team earlier today.... let the games begin
-
Excellent
-
-
Crpitt has informed me of this awesomeness, so count me in.
How the hell did I miss this last year???
Only question is...do I have to spend a day with Anok? Relatively conservative horses and relatively liberal ninjas can be a recipe for disaster. :-)-
You can spend the day with holly instead
You missed it because you are LAME
-
wait a minute...I'm a bit confused...thought this was for Amerikaniesch Fussboll?
I know nothing about "footy" - couldn't pick a winner in that if my life depended on it. Just know that the yanks never win anything big. -
Urghhh no! Tis proper football.
Just do it. -
Ummm...how...where the heck do I put in the league code? I'm so confused. Feel like I've never been on the internets before.
Everything is in....English! :-) -
fantasy.premierleague.com/
make your team selection
then
fantasy.premierleague.com/M/myleagues.mc
where it says create/join -
How do I pick Michael Vick?
Only kidding - I'm in. No clue whatsoever what I'm doing, but I'm in.
Haven't heard of any of these guys before. -
Hehe you are a sports nut, so I don't trust you at all.
-
To be honest, while I'm a multi-time U.S. "football" fantasy champion in numerous leagues, I've barely devoted any time and attention to that this year.
A certain filly named Rachel Alexandra has been somewhat dominating my attention span lately. :-)
-
She looks like a beaut' there kdawg How's it hanging? ltns -
Doing pretty good - how's it been for you this year?
She's the most gorgeous filly I've ever seen. Actually had the honor of being with her in the paddock in New Jersey a few weeks ago as she prepared to become the 2nd filly in 42 years to beat the boys in the Haskell (after becoming the first filly in 85 years to beat the boys in the Preakness)...plus she's Curlin's future girlfriend, so you can say she's filled the void that was once occupied with Curlin obsession. :-)
So...back to the game...Can anyone look over my team and let me know if I've made any horrific mistakes? :-) -
Can't see each others teams until first points I think? will check now.
-
-
Let the games begin!
Woo Hoo-
Your going down
-
Is that the booby prize?
-
Could be
-
I must win now!
-
You won't.
-
I will beat you at least
-
No.
-
Yes!
-
No.
-
Wager?
-
What did you have in mind?
-
No idea
-
Me either
-
I shall have a think on the matter
-
Don't think too hard
-
I will try not too
-
Good
-
-
i like foot ball -
A stonkingly good start to the season for horsey and pink donkeh.
-
Oh yeah! I intend to win this year.
Kdawg has been secretly boning up on real football I think. -
He seriously has been swatting, the big monkey liar!
-
-
I'm mid-pack, I can handle that. for now. once I figure out what I'm doing I might get better (hopefully)
-
You did quite well. I have you down as a dark horse.
-
Yes you did do well, I am beginning think I need to go into hiding.
-
-
Im doing awful.
-
Here's a tip, you don't really want 5 defenders. Most points come from goals or assists. Try going with 4 defenders or even 3 it will give you more chances of scoring big.
-
never mind... just figured out how to change it
-
I'd swap Neville too he is a defensive midfielder and you will never get many points off him.
-
He was just a random pick haha.
