BCG Fantasy Premier League 2012/13 Page 26

Fulham are pretty dire but I wouldn't have bought Sturridge under any circumstances. He's better at passing the ball but he doesn't convince me.

Tje star of the show is Coutino - how many goals would that partnership with Suarez have racked up by now. The Toon match would have been 8-0.

It's a pisser to have both of your wingers score goals and only end up with eight points.

Couldn't we have some kind of BCG rules where fouling certain players and getting booked/sent off actually adds the points to your score? My top 3 would be

John Terry
Wayne Rooney (double imo)
Ashley Cole

I think we can extend it to any United or Arsenal player.

How about City Or Liverpool?

Liverpool are not that dirty anymore. I used to hate Chelsea, I've finished the season enjoying watching them and quite liking them - although everyone off the field is a c**t.

Less of Cole and Terry has definitely made them more palatable.

Zabaleta sent off in Cup Final and banned for tonight's league game - a totally separate competition. How does that work?

Well it's been a fun season
One game to go.
Well done all, apart from Godot who's been jammy especially with the bonus points.

Season's end ALWAYS creates a Disney story. Will Fergie's last match be a 10-nil victory, with Giggs scoring 5? Will Michael Owen grab a hat-trick in his final game?

Point is: find the Disney hero, captain him - and score BIG!

I had four goal scorers in the last round and got 1 set of bonus points. Gerry got four sets from four players and you got two so I don't know where you're coming from.

If you mean over the season I also really don't get you as I have fielded players who regularly didn't get bps. Mata for example nearly always misses out, even when he scores and despite driving most Chelsea games.

Van Persie on the other hand gets bonus points most weeks, even when he does f**k all.

Yeah I was joking,
I remember you mentioning the injustices of bonus points throughout the thread

It's only one game and not three like a usual red but it can catch you on the hop. They've got to provide some disincentive I guess.

Oh! You've not rally used humour in this thread for some reason so I didn't realise.

Not used Humour?
Haven't you seen some of the teams I've picked.

F**king hell what a shit last day. Only one goal, Michu booked and the two transfers I brought because I had too (hate both players) cost me points.

Don has finished 3 points behind me and now it's in the hands of the bonus points flinger. He'll definitely get three for Lukaku and probably two or three for Mata so unless some of my goal shy f**ks score a bonus he's passed me. F**k it.

Bonus points are in. 8 for Don, 2 for me so Don's beaten me by three. What a tragedy - not for him, obviously!

There's unpredictable and there's f**king ridiculous and I know Don would be the first to acknowledge the fluke. Presumably he didn't have the funds to swap Lukaku for Sturridge.

I'd lie to thank the fans for their continued support this season especially in the 'Gary Sprake' Stand. It was a close run thing with Yossarian United finishing 423 points behind Gerry 'the crystal ball' McDonnell. I was still hoping to pass him on the last weekend by making all my players captain. However the FFL unreasonably turned down my request.
I'd like to particularly thank Commonwealth Salad Cream for their stirling effort which of course was to no avail thanks in no small part to me sending free nude photo's of Alex Ferguson playing golf to all the players in exchange for bowling several no-balls.
I'd like to end with a quote from one of the most skilled and subtle players ever to grace the football pitch.

'It's been emotional'-Vinnie Jones (1998)

Bad luck Roscoff, captaining all your players deserves to succeed as an idea.

To be serious for a rare moment I've really enjoyed playing FF for the first time this season with you guys. Dan predicted that it would become addictive and a rush and it has. I'm feeling love for you all.

Well done to Gerry for winning this league and coming in the top 800 - a great achievement. I used to think he didn't have the time to post here, but I now realise he's just posting on some brummie football forum elsewhere, the bastard. It's a shame he didn't have more competition since he was out in front for most of the season but I suspect it will different next time.

I think we should encourage as many members as possible to take part in the next season. There are lots of big footy fans on here, like Nil, Chappers and Badge. Oldrocker says he'll have a go so we need to hold him to that.

Don has also suggested a cash pot and I don't think that's a bad idea - although I don't know who would hold the money.

Cheers guys.

I really enjoyed it this season, the added banter in the thread was a definite plus. Roll on August
