Re: Virgin Radio Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Football 2008/09
Good luck to you two vying at the top!
In the battle for 4th and 5th I was very pleased to see Lampard not playing, as virtually everyone except me had him. I made a simple final transfer of Vidic to Toure, but Stoke have just scored so that's not gonna help me.

Re: Virgin Radio Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Football 2008/09
Going by my quick calculations (not guaranteed) Rick has held on and I have been pipped for 3rd spot by 1pt.
My Initial Guestimation:
Rick - 636pts
Weighty - 632pts
Mutabi - 616pts
Pa102aw - 615pts
Yardie - 600pts

Rich 631
Pa102aw 615
Mutebi 606
"Yardie" 599
Stan's 593
Doomsday 590

Re: Virgin Radio Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Football 2008/09
Just had another look and by gosh I think that you are correct. That's what you get when you can't add 595 + 11, I thought it came to 616. I also forgot that I was 15 points ahead of Mutebi going into today. Looks like a cool £1000 to your old Pa.reds363 wrote:I get quite different figures, and make it you've held onto third comfortably:

Re: Virgin Radio Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Football 2008/09
First look at this comp this year - congrats to all the winners. It looks like it is a little of a monopoly so whilst interested for next year I am immediately concerned that it amy not be around to participate properly in!
Need to understand the strategy for Manager selection though....is there a thread that discusses this and provides a sensible conclusion ???

Feel a wee bit sorry for Rick all the same. He led from week 1 all the way through the competition only to be pipped on the last game of the season.

Re: Virgin Radio Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Football 2008/09
Top from the opening day and toppled at the death
I had to make a few weird transfers near the end to give myself a chance in the overall competition. So my last few transfers weren't really things I wanted to do but the guy in second had virtually the same side as me and a 14 point lead so I had to change things around a bit to give myself a chance. Unfortunately it went quite badly
Anyway, congratulations to winsomniac. Hopefully this game will be back next year when I'll return to reclaim my rightful place

Admin is the Mini League Manager and he will put up a post once he receives our winnings. Like all other Fantasy Football Games they take our money in seconds, but it takes yoinks for them to pay out.

The halfway prize took about a month and came with a note hurriedly written in green biro so I'm guessing their fantasy football administration department isn't a big one
