Manchester United's Giggs celebrates with team mates after lifting the Premier League trophy following their match against Wigan Athletic

Well, I got one thing right this week."I wouln't bet on CRon coming away empty handed... I'll just hope Giggs can collect a souvenier goal or assist along with a winner's medal." Sure enough, CRon PK topping off the most remarkable fantasy season I've ever seen, and Giggs getting his goal Read full entry

    Greetings from 72 and sunny San Diego.  And yes, I'm trying to accentuate the positive after another disappointing weekend of fantasy football.  But let's unpack it a little and see if there are any lessons going forward.First of all, I'm considering a new addition to the rules -- No Friday Read full entry

    First things first... let's draw a line under last week.  Knew it was a risk but I was hoping that CRon would be rested and Rooney wouldn't.  And to afford that I had to gut down to Robbo.  It didn't work.  I'm trying to accept the outcome - being outscored Read full entry

    Today, we start with the news that Jermain Defoe is prevented from playing against his former team this weekend.  Seems sort of stupid to us but we don't make the rules, we just let you know how they apply to your fantasy team.  Defoe has been on a great run Read full entry

    What a wild week for the two-gamers.  For once in his life, Joe Cole came up big for fantasy managers when everyone was counting on him.  CRon was exactly what you'd have expected him to be with 3 goals and a raft of phantom points.  For those who paid attention Read full entry

    This was too "good" to leave in the comments: --- I got worked over good this weekend. I made the mistake of checking my team Saturday night at a friends party, clicked log out and walked away. Apparently, the PC did not log me out and someone proceeded to sell all my players. I had Read full entry

    You're probably truly sick of hearing about my trailing and hence needed to take risks to catch up.  Well, let me just say that when you take chances, chances are you get burned.  Here are some thoughts as the Manager catches up after a weekend away from the computer and Read full entry

    So here we go.  Two gamers, ho!I've gone with Anderson and Scholes in the midfield.  I figure that between the two it covers the ManU attacking midfield spot.  And by that I mean welcome Carrick, Hagreaves, and Fletcher to the starting line-up(s).   Sigh.  I grabbed Kalou, Rooney and Lamps Read full entry

    This isn't a big week for injuries and suspensions.  Giggs and Saha doubts with EvdS out for the Derby match.  MPet and "Buy a Vowel Kuszczak suspended.  Otherwise, it's really a matter of looking at the two gamers and guessing who gets the most PT... and who makes the most Read full entry
