aurora's musings

[aurora]

thought I'd keep all my thought's on here from now instead of failed diary after diary

recently took part in NBA leaderboard, finished top 20, won 6x Step 1 tickets to scoff, it finished 3 days ago, they still haven't awarded tickets for some unknown reason, have asked but they just say they are reviewing the leaderboard? what does that mean, leaderboard is automatic, seems to be a lot of strange activity on fanteam lately, I would like to know what's going on before giving them more of my pennies.

in other news I am aiming to win a ticket to scoff, max entries is 10, I wont be winning 10 but at least I wont be up against hundreds if I did enter, good luck if you do, big money

[RickyRosa]

Will be sure to keep track of your new quest!

Good luck.

[aurora]

first quest failed tonight, all I needed was a Chelsea goal but not to be, still I've taken it quite well as someone used to winning a bit, losing a bit, winning a bit, but losing a bit more, unlike this guy

Yanks0242How could you not add crosses/shot attempts/SOG’s to your football scoring

Yanks0242Instead you have to pick players who wont get subbed which is bullshit

Yanks0242Makes me sick

Yanks0242F*ck Havertz, what a scrub

[RickyRosa]

Ha! So funny!!

Love the you pick players that don’t get subbed one!

[aurora]

my one and only team is entered, been tinkering about with it

going attacking and positive

biggest concern is the 3rd group game, could be a possibility that teams who are guaranteed top, rest players, but I guess I can't really overthink that.

[RickyRosa]

Good looking team mate.

[Biddles32]

Penalty taking team - lots of safe choices. My teams very similar.

[CBN]

Agree, like the look of that aurora. Portugal coverage makes it very differential. One thing in there you might regret is the keepers - not sure you'll enjoy playing the Russian in the third group match and you certainly won't be playing Ward! The Russian keeper pairs well with the £4.0m Austrian keeper.

[aurora]

thanks all wanted to pick a team that didn't leave me behind at the beginning again, for me the groups stages is all about playing it with a straight bat, we're essentially playing 2 tournaments, the real tournament starts at the knockouts because that's when you have to make real decisions identifying the finalists, as you can see Bale, Sabitzer and Lewandowski even are important because of their relative low ownership, had to go cheap somewhere because of budget re keepers, let's hope Muenier starts, he should be was only 80% sure.

[Toffeeman]

The Meunier/Castagne decision probably one of the toughest to call

[aurora]

I am watching the Denmark and selfishly wanting Eriksen to do something, then seconds late he collapses, Jesus I hope he's ok

[aurora]

thankfully he's ok, sitting up in hospital according to some reports.

Muenier is on the bench, so I get Vida against England, expected after Bale flopped, Ward conceded, Eriksen situation, doesn't feel like my year, still some things more important.

[BLOCKHEAD]

Unfortunately, Meunier comes off the bench for a 1 pointer because 5 subs can be made. I'm not happy about it either.

[RickyRosa]

Me neither.

Still ce la vie.

[aurora]

Meunier on after 27 minutes!

[BLOCKHEAD]

We got out of jail

[aurora]

Meunier scored!

[RickyRosa]

Ha!! I’m so lucky!!!

[BLOCKHEAD]

Incredible turnaround from what we expected 30 mins ago

[BLOCKHEAD]

Imagine if Belgium get the CS too. From a likely 1 pointer to a potential double digit haul

[RickyRosa]

Ha!!

Some common ground for a change!!

Sorry if I had a go earlier mate….

[BLOCKHEAD]

15.3 points.

Good pick lads.

[aurora]

yeah, I got something right at least, disappointment with my Bale pick, the Swiss game was suppose to be his best fixture

still 6 players to go, feels like a 10 player game with such high ownership of Depay

hoping Sabitzer is on the ball tomorrow, still have captain to play,

[aurora]

Cancelo out with covid, in comes Vida against England.

I'll get my coat.

[RickyRosa]

Oh no….

I have huge coverage

[aurora]

really we should be allowed to pick a replacement for Cancelo before he was due to play his first game

I was going to switch both Portuguese defenders for Vida and Danilelsson after this game week but in the unfortunate position of supporting England in general but in fantasy football land wanting Vida clean sheet, I'll settle for an England win and Vida goal

[aurora]

the writing's on the wall for me, no matter how much thought I put into my teams, I get off to a bad start and am then chasing pavements

picked Cancelo, out with Covid before a ball kicked, picked Erisken, has a cardiac arrest, picked Wijnauldum, 8.7pts sitting on the bench, picked Bale and Lewandowski for their softest fixtures, both bellyflopped, all I really have left is Ronaldo captain, or maybe Pepe will bang in a hat trick

[CBN]

Still early mate and you've hit some of your picks like Meunier. Things will look better tomorrow if Ronaldo shows up - remember three years ago what he did in the opening game and that was against Spain!

[aurora]

yeah, next week tricky though, because of cancelo/Eriksen I'll only have 1 fit outfield sub next week, will be bringing in Greizmann for Lewandowski.
