same as venom but with man city > tottenham > liverpool

man city gonna beast

 

[The_Chaser]

Man U, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa, Norwich, Fulham, Stoke

 

[latinoheat]

1. Chelsea
2. Man United
3. Man City
4. Arsenal
5. Liverpool
6. Spurs

I really think Villas-Boas is gonna hit the ground running, i wouldn't put it past Liverpool to be over Arsenal though. Top two will be Chelsea and Man United.

Big Suarez, now for Uruguay to stick it out and close off the tie.

 

[The Grand Babido]

arsenal
man u
chelsea
man city
tottenham
everton/liverpool - merseysiders to decide 6th place. two very well-matched sides will be interesting to see who wins that race

 

[SoT]

Man Utd
Chelsea
Man City
Gunners
Liverpool - biased as I'm a huge fan, giving them the benefit of the doubt but wouldn't be shocked if it's another 6th place finish this year.
Tottenham


There is a very very low chance that arsenal is winning or even making top 3 this year. I just don't see it with the most likely loss of Fabregas and Nasri at the same time. Sure they're full of young talent, but i just don't see them being a top 3 team this year. In the future I have no doubt that they won't be able to contend for the title, but this year I highly doubt it.

 

[Smurf.]

Man City
Chelsea
Man Utd
Liverpool
Arsenal
Tottenham

 

[Bartman101]

Tevez is sticking around a little longer then...

 

[latinoheat]

There is still a very rich Madrid side in need of another striker.

 

[Slim Guldo]

Madrid have Higuain and Benzema, don't see why they need another striker at all :P

Chelsea
United
City
Liverpool
Arsenal
Tottenham

Only changes I would make to this are Arsenal to go up to third if they get a decent defender in, and possibly Tottenham out of the top 6 altogether (although I have no idea who would replace them, I just don't really rate them that highly)

 

[Nosferalto]

i think madrid probably need one more striker for extra depth seeing as both higuain and benzema are injury prone. they should imo and prob. will sign adebayor because hes available on a cut price and can afford his wages unlike spurs who have a very strict wage structure (hes been recently linked to a move to tottenham)

also, interesting vid that showcases a great technique used by raul meireles in a free-kick that steven gerrard scores.

 

[phalanx]

i think city deliberatly wasted time on tevez just to keep him tbh

tottenham are not over rated.
sunderland could do alright this season, even if they are basically manchester united reserves now lol

 

[reyscarface]

copa america - battle of the guays

really hoping it goes to penalties to see whos more badass of muslera / villar

 

[The_Chaser]

EPL fantasy is up http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

Smogon League code is 4916-2786

Made a team expecting it to change a lot once more transfers are settled also haven't added some players like Elliot Bennett :(.

 

[akuchi]

What's the email?

^derp. it's too early for me :( still can't work out how to join though, do I need to make a team then submit it then there's an option to join one?

this is why women don't do football

 

[SoT]

oh sick, registered :D

 

[The_Chaser]

What's the email?

I dont exactly get what you mean. First you register using your email and making a password then once you've made your team enter the code in the league section.

 

[akuchi]

yeah, I've worked it out now haha. Been up since 4am playing Wipeout HD. Nothing makes sense. That said, I'm still an idiot :x

also i have never played fantasy football before and only actually heard of the concept like last year so expect me to be shit!

 

[Zoro]

edit: nvm, done

 

[Phadunk]

I'll be in this year again. Site is down for me atm. Nice new layout though, we'll see how it functions.

 

[Nosferalto]

in it to win it

same on all fronts! (except the 4am wipeout thing, that's just weird)

probably gonna give it a few weeks before i make a team.

 

[keelhauled]

LOUIS ALMOND FC reporting for duty, made my team although it's probably gonna change depending on transfers, just went with a few people who are likely to move to the big clubs as well as reliables.

 

[akuchi]

what did you guys call their teams? i just called mine SUPER TEAM haha. are you able to amend it later? what happens if the players are transferred (i did make sure to pick mine based on ignoring people i think will transfer out of the country)?

 

[keelhauled]

They usually stay on the same team, but dont get points or w.e, if you want to change them you'll have to use a transfer to get rid of them, unless theyve changed it from last season.
