Fantasy Football 07/08

Time to start selecting your teams for the upcoming season chaps.

Virgin radio are doing a free Fantasy Football game with a first prize of £20,000.

I'm pretty sure overseas people can join too.

Spec....

Let's see those teams!

Mine haven't turned up yet...

I had a great team but it was nearly 10milion over budget so i made some adjustments to the defence. To be honest i have no idea whos in my defence now, all i know is they didnt break the bank!

Spec....

Aww man, how comes you arent using the barclays premiership one?

Edit: Oh 20 grand first prize I guess.

I might revise it a little, I don't tihnk he'll fare too well by himself.


I was hoping for Rooney and Drogba, but I couldn't switch and swap players to my liking to fit.

EDIT: I've got him, I've had to swap a few other players but I think I'll get more points this way than before.

Race Idiot

Great night for Ben (Specialized) as he romps into the lead, and Dave A making great progress with South Manchester Utd. Athletico Turismo have a terrible day, with Cech conceding again, Stefanovic not even playing, and Ronaldo being sent off Looks like the big guns of Chelsea and Man U are not quite firing on all cylinders yet.

Athletico Turismo BREAKING NEWS

Ronaldo has been shown the door in favour of Lampard and Reo-Coker has been booted in favour of Hleb.

Is it too late to join?

and if not, can i join?

Yes, you can join whenever, although the sooner the better (for obvious reasons!)

Im in, i think.

Amateur Cult, thats me.

Nice one, you're in 👍

P.S. If anyone's wondering where their teams went, I deleted them since it gives any potential newcomers an advantage in selecting their initial squads

edit: And then there was 11... welcome Real Turismo 👍

edit 2: It's also South Manchester Utd manager, Dave's birthday today 👍 Happy 25th

Thanks TM .

We have another 2 players - both non-GTPlaneteers, but welcome to Jess (DQuaN's other half) and a friend of mine and Stuart's, Nina... 👍

Although Jess doesn't really know anything about it. I signed her up and am managing her team!

Just signed up.

Smokey Emotions FC. Think I'm waiting for approval.

👍 Nice one, you're in!

This is a polite request to Mr. Fernando Torres of Liverpool, England. GET OFF YOUR LAZY ARSE AND START PLAYING, YOU NIL! I need some points quick...

And a quick message to Darren Bent of London:- see that rectangular thing with loads of holes tied together with white string (aka the net), trying hitting it with the football 💡

Svengali of the Week

Donkeys of the Week

Manchester Menace (Sting) - 3pts

Disappointing weekend for me...dropping all those places and going from 2 pts off 1st to 11

Yes, first time out of the Top 3 for you! I'm sure you'll bounce back, though. I seem to have had an extraordinarily lucky weekend - and Spec has been dislodged off the top of the table... 👍 (sorry, I meant 👎 )
