Those Bright Young Things

One special part of Style Guide's rise to the summit of Fantasy, has been without a doubt his special ability to pick out those break players each year. The players that break into the 1st team or the established young or old player that has a great season.

Last year the Guide started with Glen Johnson who had a fantastic start to his Liverpool career and was seemingly scoring every week. This season it would seem Albrighton was an inspired pick for gameweek 1 and the unknown yet effective Al-Muhammadi is proving a great money value signing. It is these cheap players that provide an abudance of points that is one of the reason's for the Guide dominance of Fantasy.

The Monkey on the other hand, has always gone for experience. And none more so that Lampard who has got off to a flyer of a campagin, and rightly so the Monkey has captained him both weeks. However this week most players at the top have post a 70 point week. But the Monkey only posted 46! Why is this? Well I think the Monkey is trying to copy the greatness of the Guide, by picking two extremely "interesting" signings.

Most of the league has Anelka, Drogba, Bent and Rooney. However the Monkey has bravely some might say, picked a front two for the last two weeks of Kalinic and Kevin Davies.

The prolific Kalinic signed for Blackburn Rovers in August 2009 and has scored 3 goals in 27 apperances.

The mighty Kevin Davies scored 9 goals from 32 apparences last season.

Last season premier league champions Chelsea scored a stunning 103 league goals! Blackburn scored 41 league goals and Bolton scored 42 league goals, which is 17 goals less than Chelsea when combined together.

Of course the inspired if perhaps little strange signing of Kalinic and Davies might yet bare ripe rich tasting fruit. Perhaps Blackburn and Bolton are due to go on a crazy goal scoring frenzy!
And if they don't, well the Monkey has Ameobi as backup. Newcastle play one up front, usually Andy Carroll. Andy Carroll scored a hat trick in Newcastle's 6-0 trashing of Aston Villa this week. So will Houghton drop Carroll for Ameobi? Well stranger things have happen! Yea?

Thank god for the wild card hey Monkey!

The Bet

Every year Money XI somewhat mistakenly thinks that he will beat Style Guide. Every year as hard as the Monkey, I mean Money tries he never wins. But every start of every new season the belief has swelled in him once more, like a berry getting nice and ripe. This year is no different. Even though the Guide has won 3 titles in a row, and the fact the Monkey has never beaten him, that little Monkey still believes!

So I have to put my money where my mouth is! And I have given the Monkey some action, good action at that! I gave the Monkey 5/2 if he bet £100, that he would win the The Bays League this season, IF I can bet with him £100 at EVENS that the Guide will again win the league! I'm losing a lot of equity, but to get action you have to give action! So there is a little extra added spice this year to the league!

(Of course if neither the Monkey or the Guide win, therefore the bet is a wash.)

Fantasy Football 2010/11

So here we go again. After Style Guide won three fantasy leagues on the trot, is he unbeatable? Will Money XI ever be able to win the league? Will Dalston Dirtbags be able to keep interested for the whole season? Will The Gay Boys Utd shaft us all?

38 Gameweeks. 1 winner. Let's go...
