I'm playing Telegraph Fantasy Footy @ work and I'm in 3rd place but a few points adrift. My team includes Rooney and Terry. I have 2 transfers left, so ..... I'm wondering about sticking either Drogba or Cisse in as they both have two games left (if I'm quick with tonight's Chelski v Inbreds and bearing in mind FA cup counts in the Telegraph). Who to replace Terry? What should I do oh wise ones?

risse from liverpool if he counts aas a defender

Already got Risse. And Finnan. And N'Gotty (oops).

Arsenal are at Man City and then home to Wigan, you have got to look at them for replacements. Plenty of goals and can't see them conceding more than 1 goal over the two games.

Reyes maybe

Hmm, good call that. I s'pose I could stick a cheap defender in and get Terry Henry instead...

Check if the teams that you are chasing haven't got Henry in their team first because you won't get an advantage if they have.

Reyes didn't play against Sunderland I don't know why. Check if he's injured or just rested if you go for him.

Only way I can find out t'other teams is using the old blowtorch to the testicles method.

I'm now thinking about sticking Hyppia in defense and risking it with Henry.

 

aaarrrgh!!

Think i'll give Dogbreath a miss:

Chelsea

C Cudicini, N Geremi, A Ricardo Carvalho, W Gallas, A Del Horno, N Maniche, L Diarra, F Lampard, S Wright-Phillips, H Crespo, E Gudjohnsen

Subs: L Pidgeley, G Johnson, J Cole, D Duff, C Cole

All the leaders in the fantasy comps have Henry in their team, there is a good chance that the leaders in your league will have him too.

Another reason for staying away from Henry is that he doesn't need to be in the side to win these games and Wenger won't play him for 90 minutes with the World Cup around the corner.

 

But who am I? :-s

Knowing my luck you'll be one of the other two teams!

Reyes only played 19 minutes against City and scored two goals. Henry scored a Hat Trick against Wigan.

fishbulb where did you finish in the fantasy league?

Well, it's kind of still going as it includes the FA cup but, realistically, I'm resigned to at least 3rd. I'll find out how bad it's looking tomorrow as the Telegraph prints the points on Weds and Fri mornings.

 

So, with Roverrs getting Europe, us getting f@ck all, me finishing outside the money in FF it's been a shit football season all in all!
