Yeah I'm hesitant to make my lineup as of now. Can we reroll the whole thing before the season starts if we change our mind? Or are we locked in once we make our picks to our current lineup?

edit: nervous about what happens with Milner.

Nothing is locked in until the first match starts.

Can someone please explain scoring?

Since most fantasy leagues (baseball, basketball, baseball, etc) are based on statistics, how do fantasy soccer teams get points? Is it purely off of goals scored?

No you can get points off of assists, minutes played, scoring, saves (for keepers), clean sheets, number of goals allowed, cards received, etc. There's also a bonus awarded to the man of the match (picked by the associated press).

Also, your captain's points are doubled if I am not mistaken.

So I just made my team and realized I have only 1 Liverpool player (Reina)

:(


How well do you think Van Persie will do this year? Is he worth the 10 mil you have to dish out for him?

Also, do we play head to head or total points for this league? I'd prefer it if it were head to head. Makes it feel more like a real league.

Head to head is more complicated. You need to have a certain amount of teams otherwise not everyone will play everyone.

Yeah but if you have an odd number then you just play the week's average. It's not that complicated. I mean I don't really mind if I play one team once and another twice.

Will the value of the players fluctuate?

Just signed up my team, filled out a lineup really quickly and will probably change it. It's up to you people to remind me to care about doing this each week.


Friedel
Corluka Clichy Upson
Arshavin N'Zogbia Kranjcar Dempsey Etherington
Rooney Bent

Hanhemann

Shawcross - Coloccini - Hughes

Fabregas - Duff - Dempsey - Silva

Doyle - Drogba - Van Persie

Bench: Robinson, Givet, Adam, Spector

Adam is my value buy. He scored a ton for Blackpool last year. Hopefully it works out better than my Sylvan Ebanks-Blake bet from last year.

Granted, this 14 will change probably 10 more times before the season starts, especially depending on what Cesc does
