*****The OFFICIAL OCUK 2013/2014 Fantasy Football League*****

I've been doing a bit of reading and I came across something (see below)

empted to pick 11 first-teamers and fill the bench with cheap tat, to be brushed under the carpet (woven from points-winning superstars). But this strategy simply doesn't work.

Even if your entire first XI manages to avoid suspension or injury, if you play your cards right, you can utilise your entire squad every week - which means all 15 of your men should be scoring for you on a regular basis.

On Saturday you should pick a team of players that will appear that day and bench anybody who will play on Sunday.

So on the first day that means you might be leaving Eden Hazard and David Luiz, for example, out of the side - because Chelsea play Hull on Sunday.

But on Sunday morning, log on and sub in the men from your bench - that way you can play all 15 players every week.

The bit about swapping players on a Sunday is rubbish isn't it? I thought it's done by game week?

Leroy,

Don't forget, this may not be exclusively Arsenal fans. I've given Arsenal fans first option, but if I cannot make up a full 20, then I'll just open it up to whoever can e-mail me fastest.

However, I will have a minimum post count rule. I don't want any old Tom, Dick and Harry joining up just for the chance to enter this stunning prize league ;)

Ah, gotcha ;)

Who is likely to be up front for Chelsea this year? Ba? Lukaku? I've gone with Ba but not sure who Moureen has been favouring pre season
 
Yeah that's the issue with choosing anyone from Chelsea, he used to play with two up front before, but who knows what he's going to do this year. Any of them is a risk, but Lukaku is such a beast I went with him, hopefully he will get the game time!
 
Anyone interested in a draft style fantasy football competition? I took part in a draft recently on http://www2.fantrax.com/viewAllGames.go?sport=EPL - it's free of charge to run a league and a lot of custom rules, ability to set up multiple divisions if there's a lot of interest etc. For those not aware of a draft system, it basically means only one team can have a certain player eg RVP can only be selected by one team. You can trade players between teams or swap them at any time with players in the free pool of players remaining.
 
Hazard will be the chelsea man to have this season. Mata will be played on the right rather than centrally so I expect his assists and goals to fall slightly whereas Hazard will only improve in his second season.

Very unsure about who will play upfront. I would hold off lukaku and torres right now.
 
Is Terry a starter? It's between Terry or Luiz. It's only 0.5m price diffrence. I remember reading a article, stating Terry isn't a guaranteed starter.
 
Difficult to judge at this stage IMO. If Azpi gets picked at RB then Chelsea have 4 players capable of playing CB (Terry, Luiz, Ivanovic, Cahill) and it is very hard to know who Mourinho will favour.

Originally I had Terry in my team but took him out due to uncertainty.

I'm in for the Gooners only league :)
 
I'm struggling to choose a Chelsea defender for the dgw. I had Azpilicueta but I think Jose will prob pick Ivanovic at RB. CB is a bit of a lottery as to whether Terry is picked and if Luiz stays

I'm pretty sure the only certain starter is Cole, then Iva, then it's guesswork for the rest.
 
Prize League

Right guys,

I have had 6 signees so far (fellow gooners), for my H2H prize league.

The league starts on Saturday, so I cannot really afford to wait for any more. They have had their chance.

Therefore, I am opening it up to fill the other 14 places, and have renamed it to OCUK Prize League. Please trust e-mail me for the code.

I will only give the code to forumites with over 100 posts and it is a first come, first served basis.
