*OFFICIAL* Fantasy Premier League 2013/14

Why not, who else are Chelsea going to fall back on up front? Torres is shot, Costa needs time to get used to the English game.

Reckon Jose will give Drogba some game time early in the season, and I wouldn't bet against him notching the odd goal here and there. A very cheap pick too. Was also quickly picking to set the league up.

Idea was to have him as the 3rd choice striker. I'm laughing more at the idea Welbeck was value for money.... Might switch him out instead.

Well the ideal would be just picking what you thought was the best XI with the limitations at hand (money and maximum of 3 per club) and the algorithms assessing who performed the best. I understand that's a bit ambitious though.

I loath the fact that my defence and midfield can play well and still do terribly because they basically have to score or hope no one else ****s up to accumulate points.

I do get what you mean. Can be annoying that some absolute gun midfielders are of little value but that's the game I guess.

The Yahoo Sports one has points for a lot more stuff like tackles, blocking shots etc. They use opta stats I think

Proud of this years effort from my old mind - Though as usual seen come crackers about - Scousehampton, MovesLikeAgger, Leave My Arsealona, Nothing Really Mata's, Tea & Busquets.... Though for sickening reasons, I think Raoul Moatdrid might take the crown for me....

Used my Wildcard in the International break, as my team was ****e, not a bad move to get Aguero in, and make him captain.

Were not very good at actually logging in and following it TBH. This slips quicker than my New Year resolutions every time.

Someone care to show a table of the standings?
