The Official TSR Fantasy Football League 2014/15

The original idea with the H2H leagues was to take the standings of each division after every team had played each other once and then combine top placings from each league for the remaining weeks? There are 20 teams per league so we'll have 'final' placings after GW19. I then can't remember whether the intention was to go for a full 20 team league for the remaining gameweeks or to wait until GW22 and just have an 18 team league of the top 6 of each division..? I'd be inclined to go with the latter as the turnaround from GW19 into 20 is a little impractical.. Swansea beat Liverpool to finish GW19, just a couple of days before GW20 begins. So if a user ended up being away from TSR during those couple of days and was unable to join it'd kind of ruin the league with it being uneven.

If using the delayed till GW22 option, can send out PMs to see if people are currently active/contactable on TSR. That gives 12 days for response before GW21 begins.

Anyways, most important thing is to know who's who from the three leagues so league code can be sent out to people. Here's a list of the 57 teams in the leagues and I've used Little_wizard's list from his OP to fill in some of the tsr usernames...



Got most! A few missing but I know people change their names midseason or I might've mucked up copy-pasting etc. Just tell me if there's not a username or the correct username next to your team and I can add it in.

Um, yeah... Whole structure and how things should work is really up for discussion/finalising..

Cheers

Hutton coming on for Azpi for me too. 0-0 really helped as I had Pantilmon too in goal. Had De Gea in subs.

That game pretty much saved my week too.

Transferring Pants out though, Sunderland have horrible fixtures coming up.

Good week, 45 with Sig and Bony to come. Still in the cup

Baines is coming out with my WC. Can imagine Austin may have dried up by a little then, and Kane too. May keep one, but doubt both. Got a nice settled team until then, and don't have to worry about injuries or suspensions or players being rested.

I think most people messed up captaincy today, unless you captained Hazard. I haven't made a good captaincy choice for weeks. Still reeling from Giroud last week.

Hutton coming for Azpi was a nice surprise as I didn't realise Azpi didn't play.

You're dropping Baines!? He's just become an absolute essential. Trust me, don't do that.

In terms of the H2H league, I think the plan was for the top 3 from each division to go into a H2H 'final league'- 16 GWs would be required meaning there would be a bit of time from the end of GW19 to set it up.

Hopefully one of you guys can set it up - preferably somebody who is in the top 3 of a league so we don't get that extra team (although it's looking like my team might make the top 3 in Div C )

What are we deciding on then? We doing it now, or GW 22?

Elaborate?

Any players that people think will do well in the second half of the season who maybe haven't, for whatever reason, done so well in the first half? Asking for UFPL where you get January transfers.

Have considered:
Sturridge but too big a risk of getting himself crocked.
Manchester United forwards/mids but difficult to choose who'll be consistently involved/playing.

Either top 3 or top 6 from each league on tonights halfway placings.

Baines attacking /central midfield. Baines always comes good, but in midfield he's FPL gold. Defenders offer the best value in the game, and Baines is always top 3 overall for defenders.

He'll always have at least one midfielder sitting behind him, generally two as Barry seems to somehow be undroppable with Martinez. I'd definitely keep him if I owned him - and another game in midfield vs. Hull and I'd rush to buy him (especially with all the money floating about until Aguero returns).

Yes, but all that assumes Everton perform like they have the last few seasons. They have been well under par this season. Not as many clean sheets, Mirallas now first choice for FKs/corners, Lukaku under performing who is their main target man for wingers/wingbacks. Both his defensive and attacking potential has taken a massive dent since November.
