Re: Wimbledon Dream Team 2008
Can't get over how good these updates are. Also like how you can see everyone else's team.
Not sure I like it though, as I'm 15th out of 18 in the FISO league. Only one way to go from here.

Entered a team but was too slow reading the link to the mini league and cannot join now. Got 100 male points and 99 women. Worse still just had someone write off my car. Worse still - had a go on hte Tardis Tennis link and lost to Queen Victoria.......

Re: Wimbledon Dream Team 2008
Two out in the men's draw on the first day - shocker! Going OK in the ladies. Guessing tennis isn't our speciality - although a bit early to judge as half of the players haven't even played as yet.

6 through, 1 out.
The mini-league overall table is a joke as it's on averages and the top league has 3 players.

Re: Wimbledon Dream Team 2008
Do you really think the FISO masses know enough about tennis to be at the top? And since not every player has played a match yet, it's a slightly mis-leading table.Spencer4 wrote:I'd like to see the Fiso 'brand' at the top on the table though

Re: Wimbledon Dream Team 2008
Yes, I actually think most Fisoers who take the time to play a game like this will study the draw, player form and value to gain that advantage. I think your normal player will just choose Eastern European names and cross their fingersShaggy365 wrote:Do you really think the FISO masses know enough about tennis to be at the top?

Re: Wimbledon Dream Team 2008
I don't think our league will mean a thing until after the second round matches are played. After all, we'll all have 20 players playing in round one.
At least I hope this is the case (second last so far)
