Off Topic Fantasy Football Thread of Regret And Heroes

It's just a game, yet one that can even turn you on your own team, as you secretly smile and fist-pump an opposition goal amidst disgruntled fellow supporters. Mirroring the sport, we've all had moments of epic beauty, and decisions that would guarantee you a position as Sunderland manager for the first half of a season... This is a thread to share those moments.

So, the categories:

Greatest Gameweek/Season Moment And Lowest Momennt: Whether an amazing gameweek points haul, a league title, a national placing or a cup run etc, or the exact reverse!
Best Player Signing: Great gameweek performance from a star signing?
Worst Player Signing: You signed someone who immediately got sent-off etc
Best Decision: Did you call a player's form/poor form pre-season when all around missed the trick?
Worst Decision: An embarrassing gaffe of a pick on your part that still makes you blush now...
Worst Luck: Sometimes the fantasy football gods and rules are just against you...
Historic Moment You'd Love To Have Called For FF: Pick a moment from the annals of football you would love to have called...

 

Greatest Gameweek/Season Moment And Lowest Moment: I once scored 105 points in a gameweek, not far from the highest of all, thanks largely to Defoe's 5 goal haul. Lowest moment was the recent successive sibling derby defeats. 4 years on the bounce I've lost!
Best Player Signing: Rory Delap... Still a bit dubious those throws counted as assists
Worst Player Signing: Balotelli.. I did a Rodgers..
Best Decision: Defoe... 5 goals in one game propelled me way up the leagues... Also, I subbed out Afellay this week!
Worst Decision: My brother and I were top of the school league by miles, and a gameweek from securing manager of the month, which bestowed upon the chosen management team a prize of immense satisfaction, a cadbury curly wurly, Obi knows what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, at this moment I persuaded my brother to take out Cronaldo, and replace him with Kieron Dyer... Yep. My brother, being of sound mind, of course interjected, but having a dad who loves you more is like having Blatter on your side. It was THAT season for Cronaldo (were literally everyone, in the world, had him as captain... except one sibling team). We were pipped for manager of the month, Dyer did pants for a month then got injured, and we ended bottom
Worst Luck: Micah Richards scored a goal (in Man City days), which was incorrectly ruled out for offside, then was denied a clean sheet bonus by coming off injured on 59 minutes and 50 seconds.... ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Historic Moment You'd Love To Have Called For FF: Shearer vs Sheff Wed!!! THE POINTS!!!!!!!! THINK OF THE POINTS

 

Alan Shearer

 

See, remembering **** like this would be a great way to start learning from mistakes - and I never do

 

I bet a few turnips had Mitrovic in.

Hes a flop already i feel sorry for him because hes going to get yellows for anything his card is marked and the media will ruin his soul.

 

Been doing FF for a very long time now and I openly admit I'm an addict.
Running 13 Teams this season.

But, that said I don't gamble on anything else these days.

I've had many more ups and downs over the years.
Before the days of the internet and multiple transfers came along, picking out the gems could make or break your team.
Biggest star for me - Kevin Philips, with a shout for Benito Carbone and Clive Mendonca.

 

No one of sound mind should be having Mitrovic in any FF Team.
Or any other Newcastle player for that matter.

 

A handful of games is not the time to judge. The lad has issues but equally bags of potential.

 

yeah, you'd think wouldn't you???

Being of sound mind, last week I dropped Mbemba to the bench and played Terry instead.

 

I don't mind the Barclays FF, but, the one thing that puts me off, is the squad format and the subs.
I have Ward who scored for Palace on the bench again this week, but that's the way it goes.
Also think you'll beat me in the Head 2 Head this week.

Much prefer other formats, but, that's just my choice.

 

Joe Hart seems to be a guaranteed 6 points per match atm

 

Before the West Ham v Bournemouth game I had a choice between picking Callum Wilson and Kone. So I picked Kone didn't I, defo regret it now.

 

Wilson looks like Maradona in comparison to the ****e we have upfront

 

Didn't know Kone played up front for Newcastle, for the record my other two strikers are Costa and Aguero.

 

Not much chance of that. You're 11 points ahead of me and I only have Shaw, Rooney and Gomis to play.

If Gomis does well then Shaw will do badly. Rooney is mis-firing too so I'm pretty much knackered. Knowing my luck there will be goals by players I haven't picked and so I'll miss out on attacking and defensive points

 

You'll definitely beat me.
I've got -4 to come off the score yet for extra transfer.

 

That explains why my head was getting ****ed withe the league page saying you had 36 points and your points page saying you had 40

Still not definite though.

Rooney doesn't like to miss out on a weekend of mass reds!!

 

I dumped Rooney for Aguero yesterday as the extra transfer.

I seemed to have merged two posts there as well, how did I do that?

 

Whoever wins I think I need to think long and hard about transfers over the international break, and whether or not to use my wildcard. Do we get another wildcard in January, or only one for the season?

I'm trying to save my bonuses for weeks when players will be playing twice, but think I may be so far adrift by then it will be too late!

 

The number of changes people make are indicative of how fickle you all are.
