oh dear

Game Week 3

It's up early, so hopefully everyone can get their teams in on time this week. You can edit your team up until the deadline (12:15 Saturday) so try to get them in early if you're going to be busy closer to the weekend.

Current table:

Most of you also need to post a default team, and some of you still don't have a full squad.

[HailtotheYo]

so uh, season's over right

[Scott McFly]

Yes. We both managed to get through an entire season without drawing or losing any games. Even against each other. >_>

[HailtotheYo]

clearly we were on the MLS unbalanced schedule

[Lord Nibbler]

You two face each other in Week 5, so if you can both keep up your winning streaks we can have a hyperbolic Sky Sports-esque Super Sunday.

We need to manufacture some rivalries, too. I don't know where any of you are from, but it would be nice to have some local derbies.

[Captain Kirk]

Glasgow I'm from.

[Baddar]

Sorry guys, I'll try to be a little more active from next week. I haven't been at my PC much recently.

[METALMAN]

I'll be Captain Kirk's derby day. >_>

The current scores

Frank Grimes [18] 0 - 1 Pesci [20]

Scott McFly [1] 0 - 0 Baddar [15]

Jagger [9] 0 - 2 Funkmaster [28]

metalman [35] 4 - 3 Bryn Davies [32]

Hackerjack [13] 0 - 0 Jimmy the Exploder [17]

Captain Kirk [26] 2 - 0 HailtotheKing [14]

Dynamite [23] 1 - 0 King Ellis [13]

HailtotheKing and Scott McFly look like they might lose their 100% record, but McFly looks likely to extend his unbeaten record to 3 games.

A seven-goal thriller (so far) between metalman and Bryn, thanks to the latter having Torres and the former having Keane.

Final scores

Jagger [13] 0 - 2 Funkmaster [28]

And Latest scores

Frank Grimes [18] 0 - 1 Pesci [22]

Scott McFly [17] 0 - 0 Baddar [15]

metalman [35] 4 - 3 Bryn Davies [32]

Hackerjack [18] 0 - 0 Jimmy the Exploder [20]

Captain Kirk [33] 2 - 0 HailtotheKing [16]

Dynamite [23] 1 - 0 King Ellis [14]

I said that Scott McFly needed Barry and Bent to get him 19 points, and the Sunderland striker manager 16 on his own. If Gareth Barry plays 60+ minutes and doesn't let in 4 or more goals then Scott McFly would lead 19-15, and win via the 12th Man Bonus.

[Scott McFly]

This may be sabotaging my own possible victory, but that second Bent goal was an own goal wasn't it?

[Lord Nibbler]

It goes down as a Mancienne own goal with a Bent assist. So he ended up with a goal and three assists.

[METALMAN]

If only Scottish people were as good at real football as they are at fantasy league. >_>

[Captain Kirk]

2 wins and I don't even have a point scoring striker!

[Lord Nibbler]

You're a one man team, Kirk. Once Benayoun stops playing so well/gets pointlessly rotated you'll drop down the table.

I, on the other hand, will go from strength to strength once Arteta and Robinho return.

[Baddar]

Fuck off McFly, seriously. You're winning too much.

[Scott McFly]

Just wait until Darren Bent gets injured or stops scoring, that'll burst my bubble. My striking options are limited to say the least.

[METALMAN]

brb just going to get my crowbar and go to Darren Bent's house.
