Laugh all you like (especially Dot) but surely Lampard would have to be considered.
The Ref's love him, the Sun reporters love him, Scores goals & get's plenty of clean sheets (great for those games that reward midfielders with clean sheets).
Personally I think he is over rated, but his record speaks for itself.
Hard not to pick him, especially if playing The Sun's Dream Team.
He also takes penalties, & the way Drogba,Robben & Joe Cole dive there is always going to be a few easy goals from the spot.
In The Sun he scored 61 more than Ronaldo & 133 more than Gerard.
With Ronaldo a dead set cert to be valued the same as Lampard next season, Lampard has got to be the 1st player picked.

In a thread that has disappeared off the radar, Flyman and I concluded that No 4 could be replaced by something like:
'Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon'
with a possible extra clause such as:
'Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon, once it is manifest'
Or 'Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon, however late ye be'
Or 'Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon, and abhor shiny imitations'
http://fantasyfootballuk.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=25420
Any thoughts on this, or how to improve the wording?

Exactly, I'd been meaning to point this out as well.Billy Whiz wrote:Commandment 8 is in fact two entirely unrelated comandments:
8. Thou shalt have no other forums but FISO (and thou shalt not enter thy team earlier than reasonably required).
One of these - say the FISO one - should become Commandment 4, and it's job done.

When we designed the Commandments, Commandment 8 was "Thou shalt have no other forums but FISO". Number One, in his humility, and when publishing the list amended No 8 to "Thou shalt not enter thy team earlier than reasonably required". Hence the inclusion of both.Billy Whiz wrote:Commandment 8 is in fact two entirely unrelated comandments:

This is how the Henry Commandment was designed, it was a time when Henry had just overtaken Shearer as the player you had to have. In my opinion, that may now be Rooney, but Shrews point covers it better. (IMHO).Shrews wrote:"Thou shalt pick just one striker who has proved he can score 25 goals a season"

Re: The 10 Commandments
Just come across this thread; very good.
This would be my candidate if ever there was a free slot:
Thou shalt beware the false Gods Wenger/Benitez/Ferguson and their sin of Rotation

Re: The 10 Commandments
after all these years of playing FF i still mess up 2 important rules
1, reading the rules
2, flexability = K Jones not ott in teams, but everyone he is in too tight on budget to improve, and the games i can take him out only Newcastle strikers can replace him
though im very good at rule 10

Re: The 10 Commandments
love these commandments... i'm obsessed with no 7!!!!!admin wrote:The 10 Commandments:
1. Thou shalt always read the rules thoroughly.
2. Thou shalt not penalise thyself by entering thy team too early.
3. Thou shalt pick a balanced team and maintain flexibility in all positions.
4. Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon, however late ye be.
5. Thou shalt not worship 'Carlos Kickaball' until he has proven himself in the EPL.
6. Thou shalt remember that Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent.
7. Thou shalt covet thy transfers and shalt not Tinker; Fantasy Football is a Marathon, not a Sprint!
8. Thou shalt not let thy heart rule thy head, nor make any judgements after drinking!
10. Thou shalt remember that all commandments are there to be broken.

Thou shalt not forget those who have gone by. It is time we had the third assist. Most goals are one, two, three.

and if you made the goal with a one two, you deserve the extra point.
