L2 Fantasy 6 a side

[BarraMatt]

They do have Horsfall...

With the only goal he'll score all season.

 

[BarraMatt]

Yeah I've lost.

 

[LordJord]

With the only goal he'll score all season.

TBF he was our second top scorer last season with 9 goals from CB. Fully expect him to bag plenty if he starts regularly.

 

[LordJord]

Week 7 results are in, as always, any queries let me know!

Some odd scores this week as not many clean sheets and Tzanev and Lewis made lots of saves to get a few points.

Also a lot of the popular forwards didnt do anything, so lower scores in general this week.

 

[LordJord]

and here is the league table. Chipmunx stays top but with a large closing pack behind him.

Fedora Dale gets off the mark thanks to a big 0-0 draw.

 

[LordJord]

Week 8 Fixtures will be released soon. Congratulations to whoever plays BarraMatt as you will be scoring plentiful amounts of points as seems to occur each week.

As always, any changes to the team just let me know.

 

[LordJord]

Also have a ton of data available on players / teams etc so may post a few bits and bobs on whos performing well, whos missing their chances etc if anyone is interested.

Harry Lewis GK Bradford
Kelvin Mellor DEF Crewe

George Moncur MF Leyton Orient (Captain)

Swap Harry Lewis for Tom King (Salford), captain change to Lapslie too please.

 

[E10rifle]

Ugh, narrow defeat there - not aided by knowing ahead of time that two of my forwards weren’t going to play and only one substitution available. Time to remove t’other one.

GK: Morris (Gillingham)
DEF: Guthrie (Northampton)
DEF: McGlaughlin (Mansfield)
M/F: Smyth (Leyton Orient) (C)
M/F: Davison (AFC Wimbledon)
M/F: IN Cook (Bradford)

OUT: Thomas-Asante (WBA)

 

[Son of Cod]

E10rifle what happened with Archibald? Had him captained this week and not even in the squad, did he pick up an injury?

Yeah, out for a couple of weeks I’m afraid. His replacement Ruel Sotiriou went off with an injury as well, so you might well see Aaron Drinan get his first start of the season this coming weekend. Worth a punt while no-one else has got him I reckon.

Orient have a few you could pick from. Smyth has one goal or assist each of his last 4 games. Kelman has 5 goals / assists in the last 5 games, also options if you are heading to E10 for a player.

[LordJord]

As there is a game Friday make sure to get any changes in before it otherwise they won’t count until the following week. Will post fixtures later

 

[Agombar stool]

LordJord I assume the fixtures roll over to midweek and we have until kick off on Tuesday to make any changes?

 

[Fedora Dale]

Since Ash Eastham of Salford doesn't appear to have played this year, can he be replaced by Neill Byrne of Tranmere, please?

Pretty sure they said on D3D4 a few weeks into the season that he's injured.

 

[LordJord]

Definitely seems like the fairest option. I would say if you want to adjust your change that was due to take place for Saturday that is absolutely fine also .

 

[BarraMatt]

Still happy with the changes I made, although I'd like to make Baker-Richardson captain please.

 

[Agombar stool]

Current side:

GK: Burge (Northampton)
DEF: Bristow (Tranmere)
DEF: Critchlow (Bradford)

M/F: Telford (Crawley)
M/F: Thomas-Asante (Salford)
M/F: D.Johnson (Walsall) - Captain

The sale of Thomas-Asante has meant I'm going to have to make a change and bringing in Luke Jephcott after we signed him yesterday.

New Side:


GK: Burge (Northampton)
DEF: Bristow (Tranmere)
DEF: Critchlow (Bradford)

M/F: Telford (Crawley)
M/F: Luke Jephcott (Swindon) - Captain
M/F: D.Johnson (Walsall)

2 defeats on the spin have caused me to have a rethink. I want to replace Telford but with a home game against Stockport could see a return. All 3 of my M/F are at home so I think I'll leave that with Johnson going as captain and I will just make a tweak at the back replacing Burge with Crocombe. Therefore my new team is....

GK: Crocombe (Grimsby)
DEF: Bristow (Tranmere)
DEF: Critchlow (Bradford)

M/F: Telford (Crawley)
M/F: Jephcott (Swindon)
M/F: Johnson (Walsall) - Captain

Shhhhhh, we're not talking about Crocombe round these parts. If we don't talk about him, then nobody will cotton on to how good he is.

Ha, to be fair I had been tempted to change keepers as Northampton had been way leakier than I expected and I've been impressed with how little goals Grimsby concede. Also reading the comments from the many Grimsby fans on here, Hurst seems to be able to setup to be strong and organised at the back. I didn't actually know who your keeper was until I used a search engine about an hour ago!

Yeah he was a very understated signing when he came in. James McKeown had our GK slot locked down for the vast majority of a decade so we'd stopped really paying attention to reserve keepers. His form dipped though last season and Crocombe came in and has been incredibly solid ever since. Has stepped up to L2 with no problems. I reckon he'll be in the NZ squad before long.

 

[LordJord]

Fixtures for tonight are as follows:

Lordjord v BarraMatt
Maverick34 v Northstandexile
Chief Rocka v David Curries Mullet
Chipmunx v Fedora Dale
Cas v E10 Rifle
Koumas Right Boot v Boz
CTFC Devils v Soup Ladle
F!rthy v Average
Son of Cod v Deepcut Cobbler
Back in the DHSS v Agombar Stool
Crewelad87 v Boz

Looking at just the basic numbers so far hes been the bsst keeper in the league.... just over Vigouroux. Crocombe is apparently saving a 0.54 goals a game as it stands, whilst also making the 3rd most saves per game.
