Loyalty to Spurs in Fantasy Football

[yusrisafri]

Let's say Spurs are to play Liverpool, and you currently have Torres and Reina in your fantasy team. Would you replace them with other players or would you still maintain the 2 of them in your team?

For me, I would never keep both of them , no matter how cheap I bought them in the first place. It just would not be right for me to have a Liverpool player in my team. Its like hoping Torres would score against us and Reina to keep a clean sheet against us.

What about you guys who play Fantasy Football?

I do my best to put emotion to one side. In previous seasons my downfall has been my desire to have Spurs players in my team, ignoring the fact that they're not performing.

Thankfully though, this season has been different. Defoe and Lennon have been big points-scorers, so they've been mainstays in my Sky Sports team!

Inevitably players in your team will come up against Spurs. If they score points and we end up losing, it's at least a bit of a sweetener!

I don't care about Fantasy Football if results go the way I want them to. Say I have a couple of Arse players, one may even be my captain, but if they lose, then I couldn't really give a crap.

It's been easy to have a couple of Spurs players in my team this year because we're doing well.

I never pick arsenal players anymore, i had fabregas once and when he scored there was always a little twinge of satisfaction in the back of my head that id get a few points on my fantasy team, it was so confusing i started killing prostitutes in the evenings just to let myself know i was still alive


i dont do that anymore, its safer just to pick Modric instead

I don't get this. What's the point of taking part in fantasy football if you don't give yourself the best chance of doing well?

My goal is to break the top 1000 this year. I'm currently at 3,500 out of 2.2m players and if that means having big 4 players in my team so be it.

I had Lennon for a while but he's hit and miss, I have Defoe and am tempted to bring in a Spurs defender.

I genuinely believe that I curse every player I pick in my team as I've had some seriously bad luck in the last few years of this, so I never pick a Spurs player for my team any more.

So far this year I've cursed people like Gerrard, Evra, Saha and Reina. The only one who hasn't been affected by the curse is the D-bizzle, had him in the squad from day 1 and he's still scoring loads.

It's a bit like Peter Cook. He was a massive Spurs fan, but would bet against Spurs so that if we lost, at least he had something to cheer him up.

I usually have the maximum amount of Spurs players in my fantasy team, mostly because I get to see them play week in week out and I get a extra little buzz when one of them scores some points for me.

I will never have any Arsenal players in my team..... ever.

I always have this problem, most of the time my blind loyalty gets the better of me. The only Liverpool player in my team is Torres and I kept him in this gameweek as he tends to score against us. Unfortunately all the games got postponed this weekend and with all the transfers I done I am currently on -6.

i purposely put no spurs players in my team because it is bad luck. They never do well wen they r in my team. Consequently i have 3 arsenal players and no spurs players. I am doing really well and so are Spurs.

I said that i dont do it anymore, jeez, you're worse than my parole officer :roll:

 

[Wsussexspur]

I never pick any A*snal players in my teams.

 

[Midostouch]

I am loyal to Spurs in that I pick lots of our players - at the moment I have Lennon, Crouch, Defoe and Niko. I also refuse to have any Goons in my team.

I don't transfer players out when they play against us because I do the Telegraph one and we have limited transfers so I wouldn't waste them on things like that.

Having said that, I am absolutely useless at it and am really only in our league for comedy value for everyone else.

 

[theburtonshelf]

i might take em out but only if i felt we were gonna destroy em, if i didnt fancy our chances id leave em in, i just wouldnt give a crap if we destroyed em and i lost out!

 

[Houdini]

I have... Fabregas, Reina, lampard & Rooney, along with Kranjcar, Defoe and Gomes in my team..i wouldnt change any of them just because we are playing against any of them....why?
Because i entered the competition to win it...
I did have Drogba but swopped him for Rooney cos he went off to Africa..
