8 freaking nil to Liverpool WOOOOT!!!! a new highest scoring Champions league game record against Basiktas and of all the teams Liverpool?! lets be honest they don't exactly have the most potent front line in Europe...congrats to them...played well, but Basiktas played really bad...defense was non-existant for them.....

Still confidence boaster for Liverpool lets see if they can build on this

sahansah: so here it is....

i have 3 fwds, 4 midfielders, 3 defenders, and one goalie. my team is as follows:

Forwards
C. Tevez (MAN - F)
F. Torres (LIV - F)
R. Santa Cruz (BLA - F)
Midfielders
F. Malouda (CHE - M)
J. Utaka (POR - M)
F. Fabregas (ARS - M)
Nani (MAN - M)
Defenders
R. Ferdinand (MAN - D)
Z. Knight (AST - D)
M. Richards (MAC - D)
Goalkeepers
K. Schmeichel (MAC - G)

this guy schmeichel is the man! he's been getting fantasy points like crazy!

anyways, i guess the help i need is whether you know any of these guys are injured or will not play. are any of these guys going to have a tough matchup? also, do you know of any powerful team that may play a weak team? i can get some players on the power team and hopefully, they can get good fantasy points.

hmmm nice team!!!!

lets see is it just the prem?

Schmeichel has gone out on loan to Cardiff city (play in second tier not in prem, the championship) for a month so he won't be playing for man City at moment

I believe Torres is injured and don't know how long his gonna be out for.....lets see what happens towards the weekend

For some reason Zak Knight is one player I'm worried about not to all sure fabout him but Martin o Neil knows best and he has been his first choice for Aston Villa...although Laursen another Villa defender is the more solid of the two...Ferdinand and Vidic best defensive partnership in prem - get Vidic thumleft

Fabregas

he is on fire!!!! well done snagging him!!!

Yeah so lets see easy games? Derby are like the whipping boys at moment and they play West Ham a club with serious injury probs so by no means will West Ham have it easy but there should be able to wim them....

Spurs vs Wigan....Spurs playing badly but new manager and wigan have lost like alot of their previous games...so Spurs have a decent shot there

out of the big 4 the fixtures look by no means easy for them...Liverpool will be confident after the 8-0 win in Eurpoe yesterda.y. play at home to Fulham they gonna be wanting to win that one after drawing their previous games..so it should be interesting...

Man Utd vs Blackburn - ...hmmmm United on fire but Blackburn will not be walk overs I'm sure of it...but with united's front 4 of Tevez, Rooeny, Ronaldo and Giigs/Nani anything can happen

Chelsea at home to Everton...Chelsea are formidable at home....Lampard and Drogba if they play well Chelsea will win but not sure if it will be a high winning game....I hope Chelski lose Mad

- but I bet Lampard and drogba one or the other will score Glare

Arsenal play reading.....I have a feeling the gunners gonna win that one expect fabragas to score again! lol

but lets see what happens leading to the wekend

portsmouth play Man city that is going ot be a tight game.....for city it will depend on Elano (another midfielder - he is on fire for them)

lol hope my advise dont end up bad advise I'm not all sure but Torres may be fit by the weekend...but not 100% on that on fire Striker seems to be Benjami for Porthmouth, scored the most goals, Adebayor (arsenal) is 2nd but his hot and cold...plays really good a couple of games and then goes cold his due a good game so lol

sahansah:

Hidden:

the numbers next to their names are the price for the players. i have 100 for the whole team. i think the value of this team is like 99.48 (now you know how much fabregas costs!!)

i noticed my opponent changed his 'formation' to 2 fwd, 5 mids, and 3 defs. i think it's cuz most mids cost less, but score more.

first thing i did was to sell schmeichel. if dude's not earning me points for one month, i can't keep him. thanks for letting me know.

i wasn't sure if you meant to KEEP ferdinand and GET vidic, but i couldn't afford both, so i sold ferd and got vidic.

i didn't want to sell torres, but he's hurt, so....

i got elano, but i had so little points left, i could only afford a REALLY unknown mid. since you said west ham should do well vs derby, i decided to get a west ham guy (bowyer).

anyways, i don't think i'll have time to change them before the games start tomorrow, but in the future, i'll see if i can post before fridays, so you can let me know if any of these dudes are hurt or gonna have a tough time.

what do you think of this team?

well don't know about selling Torres...because he played today...and scored...but 5-0 to West ham good thing you included Bowyer scored twice, otherwise I would have questioned that choice

Hope Tevez scores tomorrow! hmmm since Blackburn are playing Man Utd tomorrow its going to be a tough game for both teams

Good job with vidic I feel his the better defender then Ferdinand but to bad yo can't get both....

ah, shucks! did torres score? dangit! well, i noticed bowyer was a diamond! he went up to 9-10pts in ONE WEEK! wow! wish he could play der every week! haha!

well, it's not against the rules to get both ferd and vidic, but i can't afford both. hopefully, i can get more money later.

So a fan is shot by the police accidently I think is offical statement on Suday following violence. Condolences to the shot fan's family....but the violence associated with Italian football is getting out of hand....Serie A is one of the best leagues in the world, all this violence is just tainting it..... Sad

yaya, i just hate violence happening here and there. What has been the fans or spectators doing wrong? Y are they killed? Because of soccer? thats funny.....

yeah...I think the police were trying to diffuse violence and a fan got accidentally shot when the police fired nto the air or something....it just has gone even more crazy with riots by hooligans just using the death of the fan as an excuse to cause more harm
