SpoFi EPL Fantasy League WEEK 18 Leader: StarFucker! [full standings and trash talk inside]
posted by worldcup2002 to navel gazing at 05:56 PM - 10 comments
No big changes this week, with activity occurring in the middle of the table. I moved up one to #5. jasonbondshow was the biggest climber from #8 to #6. elsoltano and trox slid to #7 and #8. StarFucker's still no. 1. But he scored an average-looking 59.40. By comparison, jasonbondshow and I each scored 30-40 points more than that. We're catching up, buddy. Mossy was the week's top scorer (Golden Mouse award) with 100.6 points but remains squarely at #11. That's three Golden Mice for him, the biggest haul in our splendid league. Note: I'm on vacation the last week of the year so no report next week. I'll catch up in or around the New Year. Happy holidays everyone!

Don't you know? We're all just setting it up for a nice and tense end of season finale.. :) Yay! Another Golden Mouse! Despite playing two injured players! Quality not quantity I always say..

Hey, anyone of you is welcome to take over next week's report. It doesn't have to be me, you know. I'd be more than happy to see someone else's take on the proceedings.

I don't think anyone else wants to report about how i am still kicking ass...

As I've said before, a difference of 140 or 200 points is nothing to make up when someone (say, me and jasonbondshow) is scoring 30-40 points more than you each week. (Even your buddy, etrader9, scored 20 points more than you this week. That's two weeks in a row he's scored more than you.) At some point, someone, not just #2, will catch up with you. Do the math. You need to keep track of everyone.

Yes yes... Well i hope ONE of you makes a serous challenge soon. Picking my team has been so easy. You guys have to start making me think a little. I am under no pressure and making good decisions right now. I would appreciate having to panic one week knowing that the team i pick could make me lose the top spot... But i....(yawn)...don't see that happening anytime soon. Yeah, etrader is doing well. We are setting up a new league with him and i in it to start from the beginning this week. Anyone interested? Let me know, we are picking teams for this weekend so you have to let me know right away. If you are interested, you have to create a new Yahoo account to join, otherwise it keeps your points from this league.

I will wait for next year, when you start the Soccernet league for us. btw, I just noticed that I scored my highest points ever with almost no Liverpool players. Dieter Hamann actually brought in negative points, but it didn't stop me from racking up the points. (He's injured now, so I'm glad to have him off the team.) This week is my first team with no Liverpool players. Which just goes to show the form they're in. But they looked pretty good for the points in yesterday's 4-3 Worthington Cup win over Aston Villa (except for letting in 3 goals). With my luck, they'll win 10-0 against Everton this weekend. And I have two Everton players on my team. Hahaha.

I still have 2 Liverpoolians...i got rid of my one Evertonian, Radzinski because i don't think he will be starting this week. But who knows. Moyes may put on Radzinski and sub Rooney in who will score the winning goal making Chris Kirkland look like the monkey he is.
