English Premier League Fontasy Football

[Big Plastic Head]

I got home this weekend to find one of my players injured and four other doubtful. W.T.FUCK!?!

[gravy boat]

Ah, you gaffer!*




* I have no idea if my English trash-talk is any good.

Here is some help from Scotsman John Spencer, head coach of the Portland Timbers:

Make that TWO injured and four doubtful. This is fun!

I'm sure I'll live to regret this, but I'm in.

For the record, I also have four doubtful though luckily none injured.

Is there any way to see other people's team selections now or do we have to wait until the season starts?

Just joined the board a little bit ago and haven't really introduced myself yet. I love fontasy EPL though, and hope it's not bad form to join up without at least saying hello first. So hello, I'm ted_! Ted works great too. I am yet-another FOT MLIS student, living in San Francisco but originally from Austin, TX.

I think the game keeps everyone's respective roster secret until that first game day.

Here's my roster so far, Footy Boy Roy.

I don't usually watch EPL but I do watch some of country v country matches in the WC and Euro. I have only seen about 1/2 these guys ever play. So I'm very confident.

Howard       Goalkeeper
Distin       Defender   
Savic       Defender   
Hughes       Defender   
Huth       Defender   
Dempsey       Midfielder   
Silva       Midfielder   
Maxi Rodriguez       Midfielder   
Bale       Midfielder   
Jones       Forward   
Ba       Forward   
Hennessey       Goalkeeper   
Brunt       Midfielder
Hernandez       Forward   
Djourou       Defender

I strongly recommend the Guardian's football podcast, Football Weekly, which just returned after a summer away.

Those of you less familiar with players and teams may learn a thing or do. And you'll get a laugh from Barry Glendenning.

I just revamped my entire team. I had three injured and three doubtful and I'm pretty sure the coach was kidnapped, the stadium was on fire and all my players boots had the spikes on the INSIDE of their shoes. Weird.

Well, I started at least two people from the suspended Tottenham-Everton match.  Just doing my part to show those hooligans that we will carry on.
