JamieZ Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm a fantasy neophyte, but from what I understand, it's all about picking players who are going to put up big numbers rather than players who would actually play well together in any kind of real world scenario, right? Here's what I've got going into week one, at least until I change my mind at the last minute. Mignolet Caulker Okore Baines Michu Bellamy Giaccherini Mata © Soldado Benteke Lukaku Bench: Guzan, Campaña, Williams (Ashley), McShane (Paul) As I said above with the team you have you will only have ten in GW3. Okore, Mata, Benteke, Lukaku, Guzan do not play this week because of the double week GW1 Only ten assuming every other player is starting, not injured. Isn't that the point of transfers?

PussEKatt Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Click on "leagues" (next to Transfers), then "Join a League", then select private league and hit "next", then enter the code and hit "Join Private League" Thanks for that: What happened was that I had too many Villa players but they let me enter my team name.When I went back and logged in I had no team, so I entered my team again and this time I was told I had too many Villa players ( 4 ) so I entered another team and this time I was able to enter the code and join up. So, here is Armchair Athletic Cech Howard Mertesacker Walker Lowton Jagielka Cuella Bale Gerrard Gutierraz Michu Cleverly Benteke Weirmann K.Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2013 Week 1 will probably stay like this. I don't mind having 3 Villans going into week 3. Firstly I can always ditch Delph beforehand and besides he's my bargain midfielder anyway. Boruc Ivanovic (c) Zabaleta Coleman Kagawa Lampard Walcott Delph van Persie Anelka Benteke Gazzaniga Paulinho Vlaar Turner (Cardiff) EDIT : The team tag doesn't quite work as well when dealing with players of other teams !! Oops :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 damn have to take Bent out, expected him to get a transfer by now Same. I was hoping he'd end up at Newcastle, he'd start every week and get decent service. Now I've got Shane Long instead, at least for Week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Firstly I can always ditch Delph beforehand and besides he's my bargain midfielder anyway. 33 points last season. He's not a bargain, he's a waste of money. Whittingham, Sterling, Morrison x2, hell even Snodgrass and Mirallas are bargains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise there'd be no such thing as a bargain because they'd all be priced exactly correctly. I happen to think this season's Delph has goals and assists in him.And bargain in the context I used it in meant the cheap option in my squad. He's literally the cheapest midfielder in the game @ 4.5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Can't get the iPhone app to work Said you have to register first which I am as I've logged in to the website countless times RVP seems to expensive for my liking Did a team with him in but it seemed weak all round ... Did a team without him and it had a lot more points on paper each week , assuming he doesn't have a blinder of course Only time will tell ....

PussEKatt Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 What are the points by each players names for and do we play each other in this league ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 13, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2013 What are the points by each players names for and do we play each other in this league ?The VillaTalk league is not a head-2-head league, so no we don't play each other. You just get as many points as you can, and the league sorts everyone based on most points gained. As for the points by each player's name. I'm not sure which screen you're referring to. It could be the amount of points that each player has gained in this particular game week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The points I am talking about are under the heading TS. For instance, in the goalkeepers column: Cech has 144 Hart 158 and Guzan 106. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 13, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2013 If you hover your mouse over 'TS' you will see it says 'Total Score' and the 144 for Cech refers to the 144pts he got for the whole of last season. That will reset to zero once the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc12 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I never get round to doing weekly transfers so gone for a team which should go ok over the whole season. Mignolet Baines--Mertesacker--Jagielka--Evra Lampard--Fellaini--Hazard--Walcott Benteke--Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 A head to head league would be interesting, or a knock out cup of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 13, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2013 They used to have a head to head competition that you were automatically entered into. Think it was a knockout format. you just got drawn against a random opponent each week and it was whoever got the most points that week. Just like a sidegame form the usual league. Dunno if it still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted August 13, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 13, 2013 Right. This is getting on my tits. I can only login on my computer at work, when I try on my one at home or my phone it fails despite the fact I'm using exactly the same login details. Any suggestions?
