Fantasy Football (Soccer) I mean Free Cookies

Not far behind, lost 4pts in having to replace Podolski (I ofthen make changes mid week and get caught by Euro games!!) and had 2 Chelsea players playing video games over the weekend.

Without being a good haughty french as i am [;)], my team ( Liverpool ) set a new record for them. This is the first time in their history( 1892 ) where they get three clean sheets in a row for a win, in their 3 first games in a season. I was not expecting that start but they really look like the cendrillon or the underdog who can clinch a ticket for the Uefa.

[>:] Raph....STRICK... you slept while watching miracle in Istanbul again.[:D]

Not again...

Having a fantasy football team makes the football even more exciting. I watched the Liverpool vs Man United match practically on the edge of my seat. Started off hoping for a 0-0 and after Liverpool scored, I was praying for either a 1-0 or a 2-0 (if by a miracle Johnson or Lucas could score). Makes otherwise uninteresting games suddenly very watchable [:)]


Sadly we now have the boring international break [>:]

Its makes Matches worth watching, especially if you don't support a team in the premier league.

Anyone used their wild card yet?

Not me. It was very tempting last week with Chelsea/Villa not playing and injuries to key players upsetting my plans, but I figured it was too early. I think I should save this for if and when I get 3/4 injuries - and no subs to fall back on.

Not me either. And I had 5 players unavailable last week so I had just ten players with the chance to play last week.

My updated team.

My updated team.

Ozil is a good shout. I am thinking of doubling up on Ozil and Santi Cazorla (although need to wait and see what are Johnson's chances of playing next week first). Also I want to wait until the Internationals are played in case of further injuries....

[VPaulus]

My updated team after ditching Mata.

[Encircled]

I'm waiting to after the midweek internationals before I make any changes

I'd love to put Ozil in, but I doubt I can afford it

[JeffroK]

I'm waiting until the last possible minute after being caught last week with Podolski.

Problem is I often get caught out with start time and have to live with the previous weeks selections.

I'm looking at the same thing, it'd mean dropping Silva and probably change the long term plan for the team. The alternative is to swap Ozil for Cazorla but I'd say Arsenal have an easier run of games coming up. But will Mr Wenger start his new signing straight away?

[Orm]

So have you decided on any changes in your teams yet?

[Dixie]

Done.

[warspite1]

I'm going to wait until there's more news on Hazard...

[ezzler]

Silva is injured possibly. Might be a moment to swap for ozil. But Man U have the easiest fixture. Home to crystal palace.

[Encircled]

Thought long and hard about it

Coutinho and Rodriquez out

Beneteke and Henderson in

I don't think my strike force was good enough (and Osvaldo will play in Rodriquez position) and I had to sacrifice someone.

[warspite1]

I don't believe it! Bent is injured and Johnson is out until October....[:@]

Just about to set off to the biggest game of the season - Burnley v hated local rivals Blackburn

We haven't beaten them for 34 years, which means that at my tender age of 40, I've never seen us beat them (its only thirteen games, but its still a long time)

Wish us lick!
