anyone else interested in doing a fantasy forkers league this year?

and should one be worried about the following part of Yahoo's report on last nights game against the Galaxy???

FC Dallas did not have a shot on goal in the game.

11 shots... not one of them on target! it was pretty lame, Sala kept dallas in the game with a few rather kick ass saves.

and I'll play. Just saw this thread.

i made a league

League Name: Forkers Pub League
League Password: forkers

ok, now what?

we now talk shit for a week and a couple days waiting for the season to start.


so far we have Sam, jeffers and me.

I'm in as well and I bounced the invite to a friend at work.

right on, I also invited Kelly(the boy and girl), daniel and philip.

i'm in. i figure it's as good a way as any to figure out what soccer is all about.

here is my roster, tweaked it a bit tonight, but pretty sure this is what i'm rolling with. i have to put a couple benchers on the field next weekend because of alvarez's dumb ass straight red in last years playoffs that I blame a little for our loss(fuckingstupidfuckinghouston) and NY is not playing the first week.

i'm in - just picked my team and it made me realise that outside the FC Dallas / ex UK players I know very little about the other players

so i worked on the following golden rules:

1 - Rather be dead than pick Landon Donovan
2 - No Orange Shirted players. Ever. Amen.
3 - Pick every ex Pompey legend.... Stefani Miglioranzi "the new Franz Beckenbauer" you better have a good season
4 - A proper sounding footballer's name is worth 2 in the bush

I broke so many personal rules when I chose my opening weekend team, and I will go to hell for that. I have maxed out in orangies, and landcakes is in... it's mostly from reading the rules and scoring and all... i have more excuses. if there is a god they'll all have own goals and i'll be punished.
and the 3 transfers a week, i dumped angel and alvarez due to their not playing the first week and picked up the landy(i'm really gambling on this whole LA thing) and also picked up a 5'4" argentine dc picked up. little folk are usually crushed in mls, so I am hoping on what I've heard.

this is my team. landon donovan is my captain. i guess you people hate him, but i don't know any better. i spent a lot of money. neat.

ok, i have my team, based purely on people i like/names that sound interesting. oh, and beckham.

i should probably read the rules for this thing, cause now i have no idea what i'm supposed to do.

a little help, perhaps.
