606v2 Boxing Fantasy Football?

First topic message reminder :

Afternoon guys

I realise that I am being completely off topic for the boxing section, and as such will hand myself a final warning after this post, however I have a proposal for ye boxing sages.

The Sun dream team is free this year, and I have set up a 606v2 league for us to enter a team each into as a bit of added rivalry over the coming months, should you be interested.

The league is called 606v2 Boxing.

Apologies Jeff!! I sit corrected!

Just did a quick google on this Android thingy and it started talking about Linux Kernals and Dalvik vitual machines.

Wish I hadn't bothered to be honest.

Dont be disheartened Tino! Its the best software for phones. Thats all you need to know! When you next buy a mobile phone, make sure its an andriod one. Iphones are overpriced rubbish that bleed you dry.

As Dazz has said its the best operating system (O/S) for phones out there much like Linux is the best O/S for your PC, unless your a big gamer then Windows (even windows 7/Vista) is still the better platform.

Eh, stop hijacking my thread with your pro-android ramblings and sign up to fantasy football :p

You're just talking a foreign language to me now.

I don't know Dass, you spend a thread talking about the merits of the Puruvian film noir scene and now you've moved on to technology stuff. If I didn't know better, I would think you were some sort of geek!

Just don't get me started on the Sci Fi/Fantasy Book genre or the gaming industry Tino.

Oohh gaming industry... You're speaking my language now Dass!

Loved my games since playing the intellivision back in the 80's, tell me this isn't the height of gaming.

Oh, Dass the height of coolness! My goodness, did you ever play a game that was a bit like chess called Tactics Arena Online? I used to be brilliant at that xD Was an online game.
Also used to be a bit of a www.battleon.com geek! (Cor, I'm just showing off now!)

Nope never played that though look at it I wish I had at the time but it was during that release I had most of my concentration on WoW at the time, didn't leave WoW till about a year and a half after that game was released. It reminds me a bit of a game I used to play a lot of called Battle Chess (I'll post a link below), I'm a big fan of turn based games even in RPG's.

Think this one can be taken to the gaming section, fellas.

Bah Sorry Fists are we nerding up your thread? =D

Table after week 1 is as follows:

1 nowttocome Paul Hindley 54
2 Donairecaster Rovers Tatshat Chauhan 42

9 Wooden Spoon Elect Scott Carruthers 14
9 Y I Man Gavin Smedley 14
11 The Mighty Atoms ml Brown 5
12 Koogans PNE XI Kieran Geoghegan 4

Top of the league. Makes up for my increasingly poor showing in Unions prediction league

Not to mention Aston Villa.

Suspect it is the absence of too many Villa players that explains my solid start Windy

Read a interesting stat on Aston Villa amid all the claims of certain Villa fans shouting down McLeish for playing Hoooooooof Ball tactics.

It showed the last three away games over the past 3yrs and the number of long balls played during each match and the figures showed this weekends game was 20% down on those previous years.

Also I should really check how scoring is done, no points for assists in this Fantasy League makes Ashley Young, Matt Jarvis among others less than useful. Back to the drawing board it seems.

Good score first up Jeff!

Villa boys occupying two of the top three slots after week 1...and I expect us to stay there!

Now...on to the Villa team...hardly a thriller, was it.

No mate but not a bad point away from home and Given looked the part so am pretty positive generally

fourth, but remember its a marathon not a sprint.

Damn you Tino, guess you had Aguero.

Glory was short lived.

Fists, I knew full well I had raced to the top, I just wanted you to post it for me....!

Just a childish jape on my behalf.

The irony is great though, someone who hasn't watched a game of football for about 10 years is top of the league!

Is it still possible to enter this? Never seen it when it was put up. I've already got a team in The Sun league.

Hopefully, the details are in the OP of this thread, test them out mate.

Cheers mate just entered. My performance was shocking at the weekend, but was not helped by my two centre forwards missing penalties, as well as four others not playing due to the London Riots.

Haha, welcome aboard, yeah mine wasn't fantastic either!

I did Ok but likewise had the potential to do a lot better had Tottenham Evertyon actually took place but solid start all the same

despite my sound advise of it being a marathon not a sprint, thought id take the time to gloat about being top. might not last for long

haha, fickle!

did everyone make there transfers?

I did CnR, am taking this seriously

Not me. I am top of the league, if you hadn't already noticed.

It would be counter-productive to change things now. What sort of message would that send out to my boys.

what you go for jeff? didnt really know what to go for as i had a team, injury free and all playing. think the indecisiveness caused some strange choices as i put mata, andre santos and smalling in despite me never realy having watched the first two.

my thinking with mata is he's spanish and there not bad at football them

I didn't make any transfers, I had 2 injured from the start and they are back this weekend.

Got rid of Modric Barton and Van Persie for Silva, Dzecko and Young, always wanted some City players but wanted to see who would play every week, also not convinced Modric wanted to be there so he has to go, and Barton is just horrible, feel dirty picking him in the first place

ive got a second team under the missus name in a league with some of my mates and that team has 6 city players despite me being a red!! makes too much sense though. i decided to keep van persie in the end as i didnt want to end with strikeforce that pretty much everyone else has got which is rooney, aguero and suarez.

who's the new lad who just jumped in straight to top? i take it if you join a league late you still get the points you have earnt so far? might add my second team which is under my missus name if so

regretting that decision now

back to top where i belong!! still close in this one though, im miles ahead in the barclays game

I still suck at fantasy football, always have done.

Am I still top Fists?

Serious question. I haven't looked for about 3 weeks.

see my post above tino, take it you didnt do anything in last transfer window then?

i do take this seriously, mainly because ive got tenners in with my mates and currently top of that league

Oh yeah, see that now.

Well done Sir.

How many points does top spot currently have? I'm on another league on this and I think it's a fairly low scoring affair, considering I'm fourth or something...

im on 460, tino second with 450. im top in both leagues im in so shouldnt be too bad

yeah, that's pretty comfortably ahead of me, I have 359 at the moment!

I scored a massive 2 points this weekend. Surprised I'm still languishing in mid table after that score.

Incredibly I'm still 50 points ahead in my other league. God only knows how the other blokes picked their teams.
