I finally sat down last week and made some trades. I had a couple of injured guys that were getting me 0 points for who knows how long. Hopefully after this weekend my weekly total will go back up to its +500 a game. Odd thing is, I have no clue who about 1/3 of the guys on my team are.

One problem here is that MLS overlaps the main time of year for national team callups, so the best players will produce zilch for fantasy owners. Ufex, I think this means that anyone you've heard of is off somewhere else. Suckazzs!!!

My Dangling Tits are #5??!!! What the ...!?? Last time I looked, months ago, I was #12 and headed lower. I haven't looked for, well, months, and I'm #5, well within striking distance of #2? This is priceless. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Ahem. Looks like I should leave well enough alone.

btw, good on you, SF, for stepping up! I think you should do Fantasy EPL, too. I'd love to see your crazy rants every week describing everybody's performance. That would rock.

Of COURSE i'll be there! And i have learned my lesson too...I will no longer slack off when i am winning...but will continue to dominate...

No, what I meant was I want you to do the weekly update for the EPL Fantasy league. Pleeeeeease?

Actually, maybe corpse should do it. That table is still super-fly.

When is the EPL fantasy signup? I want to play this year if I can figure out how useful players are selected. Other than choosing players who score lots of goals and those that stand in front of the goals, how are points earned for one's team?

bill: The signup will start somewhere near the end of this month, or early next month. In the meantime, read all my EPL fantasy league reports. See the drama, the trash talk, StarFooker's overwhelming dominance, and Fat Buddha's transcendent snatching of victory from the gaping jaws of defeat on the very last week of the tournament. It's brilliant, a tragicomedy for the ages. If you have a yahoo account, you can access the fantasy sport site (the link is the title of every report) and see how it's all set up. If you have more questions, let me know. We can also chat more about it at the July 27 BBQ.

Okay, I created an empty team and joined the SpoFi league, let's get it on!

Whoa, it's open already? Wha? Huh?
posted by worldcup2002 at 06:23 PM on July 13, 2003
No, turns out I cannot select any players--that opens on 20 July.
