Oh yeh, football season just about upon us, so here are my fantasy teams for this year.
In Andi Turner’s Fantasy Football (which Nico put me on to) (henceforth referred to as AFF):
Goalkeeper | Paul Jones | Southampton |
Full back | Jamie Clapham | Ipswich |
Full back | Joe Tessem | Southampton |
Centre back | Matt Elliot | Leicester |
Centre back | Wes Brown | Manchester United |
Midfielder | Lee Bowyer | Leeds |
Midfielder | David Beckham | Manchester United |
Midfielder | Alan Boksic | Middlesbrough |
Midfielder | Gustavo Poyet | Tottenham |
Forward | Marcus Stewart | Ipswich |
Forward | Emile Heskey | Liverpool |
In the Telegraph Fantasy Football (henceforth referred to as TFF), the team looks like this:
Goalkeeper | Paul Jones | Southampton |
Defender | Jamie Clapham | Ipswich |
Defender | Ian Harte | Leeds |
Defender | Lee Dixon | Arsenal |
Defender | Michael Gray | Sunderland |
Midfielder | Denis Wise | Leicester |
Midfielder | Gary McAllister | Liverpool |
Midfielder | Claus Jensen | Charlton |
Forward | Emile Heskey | Liverpool |
Forward | Marcus Stewart | Ipswich |
Forward | Louis Saha | Fulham |
As you can see, there are some similarities between the two teams, with a few well known names and a couple of wildcards too. These are only the starting lineups, so there will be transfers during the season, although AFF rules allow for far fewer transfers than TFF. Weekly reports will be posted here, as usual.
And in other football related news, my team is 4 points clear at the top of division 17 at itsagoal.com, which is nice.
