Sportal Premier League Dream Team

[marc71178]

If it was permanent, how come I was able to change my team?

And how come whenever something goes wrong for you, it's always "luck"?

 

[Scaly piscine]

If it was permanent, how come I was able to change my team?

Because you probably checked every 5 minutes.

 

[Burpey]

It's no shame to lose to me SP ... oh wait, it is

 

[marc71178]

Because you probably checked every 5 minutes.

Erm no, I checked when I was doing my other team changes on other games - and I'm pretty sure that there was at least 6 hours.

Notice no response to the "luck" comment.

 

[BoyBrumby]

BTW, I've had an e-mail from Sportal about their fantasy cricket comp. Anyone else up for it?

 

[marc71178]

I'll no doubt enter again - when does it actually start?

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll no doubt enter again - when does it actually start?

Week today. If you create a league let us know the code.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Back into the Premiership groove after last week's break for the FA Cup. Wins for all the top four, but in the 5th v 6th clash Anthony manages to reverse the last round's league positions by shading cometer by 9 points. Blewy moves up to 7th after bugs suffers a shock loss to Mr Wright; bugs slides all the way down to 10th thanks to wins for SKD & Hoggy.

At the bottom Mr Wright records the only win in the bottom 5, but Pete is distinctly unlucky to go down by a solitary point to steds.

Manager of the week is Hoggy with a healthy 173 & muppet of the week is Sriram with a poorly-looking 46.

[Agent TBY]

Oh dear. Time to look at the team, I suppose.

 

[Mister Wright]

Can't believe I'm not last!

 

[Burpey]

Even though I'm in a good position, I might have a tinker with my team for the first time this season

 

[BoyBrumby]

A big shock in the Sportal Dream Team world this week: Dylan manages to beat Marc's mighty The AAAS to leave me with a 3 point cushion at the top! Another win for SP to close the gap on Marc to 9 points & in the top-of-the-table clash burkey defeats Anthony to allow cometer to move back up to fifth.

Defeats at the bottom for Hakon, Mr Wright & Pete, but Sriram eases his relegation worries by defeating Cloete's basement dwellers.

Manager of the week is cometer with a relatively low 138 & Sven of the week is Cloete with an even lower 62.

[marc71178]

Last minute Ferdinand goal was the killer, but oh well - it's only a game (as I've said all along)

 

[Burpey]

There are 38 rounds I assume?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Definitely a mixed bag for the top teams this round. I manage to overcome superkingdave, but there are defeats for Marc, Scaly Pisicine & burkey. Cometer & Anthony take advantage to close the gap to burkey in 4th with victories.

A great week for the strugglers this week: wins for Pete & Mr Wright, but result of the round has to be Sam Vimes's Glimt XI defeating Marc's once unstoppable The AAAS. Sadly another defeat for Cloete tho, now 12 points behind Glimt XI in 19th.

Manager of the week with the only 3 digit score is Jamee with 101 & Souness of the round is Dylan with a frankly shocking 19, which may be the lowest ever score.

[BoyBrumby]

Bit of a delay with the results this round to allow for the Addicks to further deflate the already punctured Scouse egos.

A better round for the top teams this week, with all the top 5 winning. Bit of a shock just behind tho with Mr Wright's now resurgent Rohan Riders beating Watsons Blue Army. SP's defeat of Hoggy allows Blewy to leapfrog him into 7th.

At the bottom Hak is unable to back up last week's memorable win over Marc & goes down to fellow strugglers Pete United. Pete & Mr Wright's good form has once again dragged Sriram back into danger, all 3 teams now locked on 24 points. & finally I sadly have to report another defeat for Cloete's Mackem-esque Andrew Athletic.

Manager of the round is me (yay! ) with 159 & Rix of the round is Sam Vimes with only 42.

Teacups have been thrown around the dressing room & all the discussions have been frank & open, but it had to come to an end eventually: my Cheats & Divers have lost!! Scaly Piscine FC scored an impressive 246 to lower my colours for only the second time this season & end my 24 game winning streak.

At the top there are wins for Marc & burkey, but cometer is defeated by Sam Vimes's Glimt XI to allow Watsons Blue Army to draw level with him on points.

Sam's victory is the only positive result for any of the bottom six teams, making it a great round for him.

Fittingly SP's 246 earns him the manager of the round accolade & superkingdave is this week's Redknapp with only 71.

[BoyBrumby]

Thank God! A return to winning ways for my Cheats & Divers after the little blip in the last round. There are also wins for Marc, burkey, cometer & Anthony, but Blewy turns in the performance of the round to lower SP's colours in a high-scoring thriller.

At the bottom: small children throw hats in the air & remember the time and date so you can say you were there: Cloete actually wins a game!!!! Dylan's Nevawinagame Untd are the unlucky team! Mr Wright also wins to haul himself out of the bottom 3, but there are defeats for Sriram, Pete & Sam Vimes.

Manager of the week is Blewy with a sterling 193 & muppet of the week is Pete with a somewhat-less-stirling 46.

[BoyBrumby]

& they're up again.

In this week's top of the table clashes my Cheats & Divers repel a robust challenge from Anthony's Watsons Blue Army, but the game of the round had to be the 2nd v 3rd clash between Marc & his bosom buddy SP. In a reversal of the result from the first half of the season SP gets up to again leave me with a 6 point cushion.

Poor results for the other leaders with burkey & cometer both going down to Jamee & SKD respectively.

At the bottom Cloete is unable to back up last week's win & goes down to Norway's finest. Pete & Sriram both suffer reverses to leave them all locked with Sam Vimes on 24 points, but Mr Wright now borders on mid-table respectibility as his Rohan Riders defeat Dylan's Nevawinagame Untd.

In a relatively low scoring round SP takes the manager of the week sash with 141 & Cloete is this week's Mick McCarthy with only 61.
