Important End of Season information -- please read

STAR PLAYER BIDS ARE OPEN

Star Player bids will commence Wednesday (15th), and run to Friday (17th) at midnight, when bidding is closed. Who got who will be posted on Saturday all being well - and assuming it can't be done earlier. If you miss out initially, there will be a second round bidding process and you may make another bid on a player. All bids will be sealed and PM'd to Hero and sodhat. It should be made clear that you cannot make a big bid on a Star Player, and then not have the cash all at once. All money must be paid immediately, or you miss out. We aren't doing IOU's on it, and that applies to everyone.

To qualify for the second round you must have submitted a first round bid - you can't just wait and see what's left. If there are exceptional circumstances as to why you missed the deadline you may appeal to the runners, but these circumstances absolutely do not include "I was playing Ultimate Team for 4 days with the curtains closed."

Hulk - Same as Podolski

Nah ketamine is for the post-friendly party.

Villa
Benzema/Higuain (same player, Benzema better in a "Rooney" role though)
Tevez
Ibihimovic
Podolski
Giroud
Suarez (he's not an out-and-out striker)
Heskey
Hulk

I cannot rate Eto'o as I haven't seen him in years,

by **Hero** Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:34 am

Oh and regarding Villa returning to Barca...

by The Special Juan Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:37 am

Authors can write all they want but until he's on the pitch scoring he won't be rated (I do rate him, but I'll need to see him back so I know how much to rate him). It's why I'm waiting to see RVP and Rooney in action before I go mental.

It's all words until it happens The 606v2 Fantastic Fantasy Football Homepage XXV - Page 20 3559488474

by TwisT Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:54 am

He won't flop ffs. One thing that Chamakh had against him as he wasn't going to get in the first 11. With RVP gone, Giroud is their main striker

by Trebs Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:57 am

Chamakh is expected to start this weekend though...

by TwisT Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:59 am

Oh to hell with you guys Laugh

I am stating right here he won't flop. And if he does, I promise I will keep him in my first 11, where you can laugh at me etc

by Fernando Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:01 am

that's because he's not fit OTW

by Marky Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:10 am

Twist, I don't actually think Giroud will flop. But every time you bite, someone else will post they think he will Wink

by The Special Juan Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:10 am

Tello to Liverpool? Shocked

by Fernando Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:11 am

Out of the new players he has Hazard is the 1 id be most concerned about flopping whilst the talent is there the temperament isn't, You can kick him out a game it happened in france and id expect it will here

by TwisT Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:13 am

Ah I see you're point......noted.

by **Hero** Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:15 am

Twist, your two strikers; Giroud & Podolski
My two strikers; Higuain & Villa

Which out of those four are x2 strikers?

Clue: It ain't yours.

by Trebs Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:17 am

Neither's Villa at the moment though Whistle

by **Hero** Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:17 am

He'll be a x3 within a month Wink

by Marky Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:17 am

The biggest signing of the summer to flop will be RVP.

He's going to be a letdown to all the deluded fans who think he'll have another 30 goal season.

by Fernando Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:19 am

From the results in your old league Hero Higuain only scored more x2 or more once and that was against Tooze

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:20 am

RVP won't have another season like last year, where he scored nearly 40 goals I think. But I reckon he will score between 20-25 goals for Utd, which will be very helpful for them

by **Hero** Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:25 am

Fernando wrote:From the results in your old league Hero Higuain only scored more x2 or more once and that was against Tooze

He got me 9 in 6 games, think most strikers would be chuffed with a 1.5 goal per game ratio.

by Fernando Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:27 am

be interested to see how he does against better sides now thumbsup

by sodhat Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:36 am

Plenty of Benz love!

By rights Cavani should be on that list too.

Oh, and Fabio Borini.

by Fernando Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:37 am

as strange as this sounds i dont actually rate Cavani that highly Whistle

just everyone else does...

by **Hero** Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:39 am

Surprised by the Benz love after his shocking performance in the Euros. Yes Cavani should have been in that list too.

by sodhat Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:41 am

He wasn't to blame personally. French people just hate other French people.

by Fernando Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:42 am

Give it a week he could be in jail for a 12 months minimum anyway

by The Special Juan Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:43 am

Him and Scarface hopefully.

by **Hero** Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:43 am

He was widely tipped to be top scorer though and ended up with how many goals?

by sodhat Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:45 am

Hero wrote:He was widely tipped to be top scorer though and ended up with how many goals?

Oh come now, one bad tournament doesn't make him a bad player. Rooney has had three bad tournaments - if he became available tomorrow would people be saying, "oh well, he had a bad Euro 2012, WC 2010, WC2006, so he must be poo."

No, it's silly. They'd be fighting each other off to sign him.

by Fernando Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:46 am

He was joint 2nd in the assists for euro 2012 so atleast he did something for the team

Two more days to get a side in the Telegraph fantasy league!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 16, 2012 12:18 pm

How many we up to?

by sodhat Thu Aug 16, 2012 12:26 pm

Seven I think

I have Suarez as well. I think you are feeling the heat. Let's face it, you are in for a harder ride this season

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:01 pm

Hero - you're unbeaten run has gone with the cup final loss. That means you are no longer unbeatable.

Shreevesing Cool

by Marky Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:01 pm

Why wasn't Edin Dzeko on the list? Proven goalscorer.

by The Special Juan Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:02 pm

Wolfsburg yes. Man City no.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:03 pm

Why wasn't Emmanuel Adebayor on that list? He scores goals all the time. 2 in 1 for me so far

by Trebs Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:06 pm

What about Danny Welbeck? Where the hell was he?

by The Special Juan Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:07 pm

And where was Heskey?

First part of last season yes, him and Aguero were beastly, but then squad rotation clearly had an affect.

I saw you put Heskey ahead of Hulk you knobber Laugh

by Trebs Thu Aug 16, 2012 1:11 pm

In all seriousness, I think I dodged a bullet not signing Hulk. His ratings seem so low.

Dzeko needs constant football, you are right. He got it at Wolfsburg but will not get it at Man City. He needs a move.
