1FF Grandstand

[Leewilson]

Myself, HOD, Rammy and Tom are all fairly active with it. We've all had different times where we've contributed I'd say. Unfortunately, we've been dire on the sporting challenges. This is the first week where I have some half decent knowledge about the sport but it's hardly an advantage as we all know football, well apart from Rammy anyway.

 

[Spirederman]

Everyone on our team, with Salty being the exception has contributed to most of the tasks.

Cards has missed a few, as has MagpieBee, but both under fair circumstances.

Myself, JJ and Caz have been there pretty much throughout.

Happy with who I ended up with, after at first fearing a disaster with all the big name forum gamers in other teams.

Fair. When I've been around I think I've helped a lot. Missed a couple of tasks though.

Been a great team to be a part of though. All pitching in.

Having the fastest internet connection doesn't make you a big name forum gamer

 

[Veggie Legs]

Our team for £70m feels like a normally balanced Fantasy Football team, a mix of who we wanted and some budget picks. Kahn can buy literally whoever they want for £90m, this is theirs to lose.

 

[Spirederman]

Totally agree Veggie about the it's ours to lose...

 

[Spirederman]

That being said, I'm happy with what we've come up with, and we hopefully won't lose it from here.

Yeah, I'm very happy with the plan, hopefully it'll see us through.

[Spirederman]

This is gonna be close!!

 

[Spirederman]

Seems Gretzky had the same idea as us, of picking a definite non starter to accommodate further Strikers.

 

[last request]

 

[MagpieBee]

Quietly confident.

 

[Magic]

FWIW I think I'd go for something like this:

Lloris

Janmaat
Alderweireld
Fonte
Dier

De Bruyne
Sterling
Ritchie
Mane

Pelle
Bony

£76.5m for those. Just to see

 

[Oaf]

Even with our paltry 65m to spend, I'm feeling ok looking at the teams. We took a massive gamble and put a lot of faith into Spurs getting a clean sheet.. if they can do that and get a bit of support from the others in the team, we're in with a shot of getting a decent finish here. But of course, one Bournemouth goal and we're pretty much fucked. So expect them to score...

We also considered picking the entire Spurs defence at one point, very briefly, if that's any consolation.

That's gone well for you

Kane hat trick has screwed us over there.

 

[Magic]

Well it wasn't the most exciting day for it but oh well!

Think people can pretty much work out how they've done but will sort it all out when I'm back from the pub later tonight - bonus points will be sorted by then.

[MagpieBee]

Back in the lead! Very good win for us.

 

[TomPNE94]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WE GOT A FUCKING POINT

 

[Oaf]

Checked the scores at work yesterday just after kick off, not the slightest bit of surprise to see that Bournemouth shat all over our hopes within seconds. Oh well, had to take a risk.

 

[Magic]

Not working Wednesday this week so we've got two free days to play with tomorrow and Wednesday. Not sure what the game will be but any preferences about how we do this?

 

[MagpieBee]

Tomorrow night would be best for me!

 

[Spirederman]

Either or both will suit me.

Thursday?
