TooSerious
For those who take it way too seriously
As promised last week, I will discuss some of the fantasy studs and duds for the season so far. Feel free to post your comments below about some of your success stories and failures.
Please read over the break

I won’t talk about Lebron, Durantula and CP3 as we all knew they would be at the top of the tree for points scoring. However, there has been some surprises with some of the other names appearing in the top 20 players based on averages. Probably the biggest success story of the season so far is Sideshow Bob (avg 48.6), he has been a beast on the boards but also has improved his all round game to score more points. Well done to the owners who picked him up, I know Ant picked him up with a pick in the 80’s in the Premier League.
Other players who have started off the season on fire are Noah (avg 45.9) who has assumed the responsibility of leading the Bulls while Rose is still out injured. Jrue Holiday (avg 43.8) is racking up the points on a consistent basis. AK47 (avg 42.6) is another who has been a huge surprise after coming back into the NBA this year. People who watched the Olympics basketball would have known that Kirilenko was going to have a good season (how did I forget it). Timmy D (avg 49.6) has turned back the clock although owners will probably be aware later in the season the Spurs will rest him on a regular basis for the playoffs.
In regards to the Duds, where do I start? I could probably name a few as some of them are on my team. J Smoove (avg 33.4) has had a very ordinary start to the season. He looks hesitant in a contract year and has not scored the points I was expecting when I drafted him at pick 4. Ilyasova (avg 14.9) is another who has struggled with the expectation of delivering the goods after being awarded a 5 yr contract with the Bucks. Other players who have not performed to their normal expectations are Wade (avg 36.7), Cousins (avg 31.4), Ginobli (avg 25.7).
Now onto the review, I will do the review...

Clean sheets were all the rage this week with 3 scoreless draws so I think this weeks high scorer must have had Defoe in his team along with 10 defenders. GW14 kicks off Wed morning so get your transfers done early this week folks. Join me over the break for a review of the weekends games..<!--more-->
Stoke v Fulham 1-0
Stoke are now unbeaten in 14 league games at home and continue to rack up the clean sheets while Fulham lost their first away game in five.
It was a deserved victory as Fulham showed little until the final 10mins. Crouch assisted Adam’s goal. Etheringon appears to be getting a run of games ahead of summer signing Kightly.
With Ruiz out Jol partnered Petric with Berbatov, while Rodallega and Duff were on the subs bench. Hangeland served the first game of his suspension.
Everton v Norwich 1-1
The Toffeemen – who had Fellaini, Coleman and Neville out – just came up short for the 3pts. Naismith (goal) continues to flourish in Mirallas absence while Oviedo (assist) did well in his first league start but Everton again failed to capitalise on chances made. That’s five draws in seven with Arsenal midweek kicking off a nasty run of games.
Norwich came into the game after a slow start and are now unbeaten in six PL games. Garrido again brought home some returns by assisting Bassong’s first goal in two years. Ruddy came off injured and is a doubt. Pilkington impressed as Norwich gear up for a midweek trip to Southampton.
Man Utd v QPR 3-1
He might not be a FF legend but my goodness he’s a legend nonetheless. Darren Fletcher making his first PL appearance in more than a year due to serious illness (which is ongoing) scored to celebrate his comeback. Evans and Hernandez also got on the scoresheet. Rooney, Welbeck and Anderson all saw some assist action. DDG was on the bench as Evans returned but OT clean sheets are a rarity these days anyway. Anderson came off the bench and changed the game in Utd’s favour after a slack first hour....

It is playoffs time in the keeper league and with only 2 regular season games left in the other leagues this review will be about where teams have finished, where others are heading and the ramications for winning or losing over the coming weeks. Join Stowie and myself as we review the results from week 11 and preview the current standings.

LEAGUE 1 (REVIEW BY STOWIE)
WEEK 11 RESULTS
Team Wiggles (Wiggles) 48 def by Jimbos Juggernaut (jimbowan) 75
Lilydale Leather Heads (bgt) 76 def by TooSerious TooSeriousesses (walesy) 92
Show Me Ya TDs (wateman) 105 def Adelaide Maggotz (Maggots) 81
Vicks Dog Fighters (Fez) 80 def by Team Stowie (stowie) 92
Massillon Tigers (Johnson) 79 def Under Achievers (UnderAchievers) 66
With two weeks to go, four playoff spots available and all ten teams in with a chance, lets look at playoff implications as almost any team can sneak in!
Jimbos Juggernaut (jimbowan) (8-3)
Currently sit a top the league and would take a crazy set of circumstances for them to miss the playoffs. One win against either Under Achievers (4-7) or Adelaide Maggotz (5-6) will secure their position.
Vicks Dog Fighters (Fez) (7-4)
Sitting second at the moment with games against TooSeriousesses (4-7) and Show Me Ya TDs (6-5) to come. Again, one win should be enough here.
Lilydale Leather Heads (bgt) (6-4-1)
A handy draw means one win against Adelaide Maggotz (5-6) or Massillon Tigers (4-7) will see them in the playoffs.
Show Me Ya TDs (wateman) (6-5)
Similar story here, one win should be enough with games against Team Stowie (5-5-1) and Vicks Dog Fighters (7-4) to come. The hottest team in the league riding a four game winning streak.
Team Stowie (stowie) (5-5-1)
Going to need some luck and realistically, two wins with games against Show Me Ya TDs (6-5) and TooSeriousesses (4-7). The draw might come in to play and help...

Alright, its draft night!
Are we excited? Certainly going to be a lot that comes out of tonight that will effect our coming year.
From what Ive gathered, the draft starts at 7:30 tonight, so Ill try to get a chat happening (Provided those darn kids of mine dont get all uppity on me!
)
Anyways, any thoughts? How are you hoping your club drafts?
Me, as a Bombers fan- Im already a happy man. Goddard in the FA and Daniher at pick 10 is already a massive win for the club. With our pick though, Id hope to see either Jacobs or Atkins in red or black, but Ive a feeling that neither of them will wind up here. Ah well- guess well find out!

Next week after the completion of Round 4, I will go through some of the stats for players. There have been some big movers and some big sliders in fantasy basketball.
However, this week I am bit pressed for time so we will go straight into the review. As usual I will do the review for the Premier League, Stowie will do the review for Div One and Rev will do the review for Div Two.
Please read over the break.

King of Karlos (2-1) 1481 v Run TMC (2-1) 1335
Karlos was able to build a very sizeable lead throughout this matchup and had enough pts in the bank to withstand the 384 pts scored by Run TMC on the last day to post a comfortable victory. Karlos played 3 more games than Run TMC and had 7 players break the 100 pts mark. Al Jefferson (177/4) led the way followed by Boozer (131/4) and Deng (143/4). Run TMC posted their first loss of the season but their team has been playing well in the first part of the season. The best playesr for Run TMC were Westbrook (234/4), Noah (175/4) and Gay (125/3).
Ruddy’s Cavaliers (2-1) 1368 v Fudge’s Sixers (0-3) 968
Ruddy was able to score a big win against Fudge this round. Fudge is just sitting tight at the moment trying to ride out storm until some of his key players come back from injury. Ruddy would have been happy with Durantula scoring 306 from 4 games who has backed up being picked number 2 in the draft. Monroe (194/4) was next followed by Ibaka (152/4). For Fudge he had to rely upon Pierce (172/5), J Rich (155/4) and Timmy D (138/3)
Adelaide Maggotz (2-1) 1461 v Wade Machine (1-2) 1093
The Maggotz showed no mercy to the Wade Machine this week who were knocked around with injuries to key players this week (Wade). The Maggotz had a whopping 8 players score more than 100 pts this round with Jennings the best with (200/3), Harden (180/4) and Bosh (152/4). The best players for Wade Machine were Millsap (171/4), KG (131/5) and Lou Williams (126/3).

Anthak (3-0) 1582 v Westside...
Man City have hit top spot again after all their big guns fired- Tevez, Aguero and Silva. While Utd disappointed slipping to defeat against an impressive Norwich. Join me over the break where Ill cover all the games..<!--more-->
Arsenal v Spurs 5-2
Incredibly this was the score when the two teams met last season at The Emirates. This time there were seven different scorers – Adebayor, Bale, Walcott, Cazorla, Giroud, Podolski and Mertesacker. Spurs were looking decent until Adebayor got himself sent off early on.
Both teams made some changes with Lloris coming back in for Spurs and Dempsey dropping to the bench as Ade and Defoe started up front. Caulker was missing from the squad.
Arsenal also had a change in goals with Szczesny, finally, fit to take his place. Ramsey was on the bench with Walcott starting and causing havoc down the right side. He got his wish with a 5min cameo at CF when he scored his goal. Cazorla was excellent.
Norwich v Man Utd 1-0
Utd surrendered top spot after a poor performance. DDG was missing with complications after a dentists’ appointment while Rooney was out with tonsillitis. Hernandez as expected started the game. Smalling continued with Evans still out.
Snodgrass came back in while Whittaker looked good coming forward. Pilkington scored with Garrido assisting. That’s now four clean sheets in five games for Norwich, that’s two more than Utd have managed all season.
Man City v Villa 5-0
City scored just before HT to open the floodgates. Tevez and Aguero both scored a brace as intriguingly they scored a penalty apiece. Silva scored his first for the season as he has finally found form and fitness.
Nastasic was again afforded a starting place in defence, as was Maicon. This left Zabaleta, Lescott and Kolarov on the bench. Dzeko was again a bench warmer as City’s first choice pairing (and most dangerous pairing) of Tevez and Aguero started.
As I predicted a couple of weeks ago, Villa have...

With only 1 round to go in the keeper league before the playoffs and around 3 to go in the other leagues playoff spots are up for grabs and each week is more important than the last. Week 10 saw a number of QBs go down with what could be serious injuries. It is one of the closest seasons in memory with no real favourite staking a claim for outright favouratism. Atlanta suffered their first loss, New Orleans are now on a winning streak, the 49ers lost their QB to a concussion, same with the Bears. Perhaps my Texans are now the favourites, we shall see over the coming month. Join myself and Stowie with the results of week 10.

THE KEEPER LEAGUE (REVIEW BY bgt2110)
Welcome Back Mr Wallace(148) def Rigil Kentaurus(114)
In a high scoring game Mr. Wallace prevailed by 34 ftps thanks mainly to Jimmy Graham(26) returning to the type of form he showed last year, now over his ankle injury and the Saints on a winning streak some high scoring games should follow. The Cowboys d/st(23) knocked Vick out of the eagles lineup and knocked out any hope of Rigil getting the win. For Rigil, Stafford(24) is hitting some late season form while Torrey Smith(18) has been good all year. Special mention to Danny Woodhead(17), if he doesn’t get a mention this week he might never get one .
Welcome Back Mr Wallace 6-4 and Rigil Kentaurus 3-7
Billy Bass(131) def The Jug-O-Naughts(113)
Another high scoring entertaining match up saw Billy’s score prove just a little too much for the Jugs to overcome in an almost must win game for Billy to keep his playoff hopes alive. The Bronco’s d/st(28) were huge while Dalton(23) and Bradford(19) look like steering the QB positions for Billy for years to come. Blair Walsh(15) was also instrumental in getting Billy over the line. The Jugs could have pulled a game clear of Billy but let the opportunity slip, they were still more than competitive thanks to Ryan(26), Peterson(25), Sidney Rice(17) and...

The second week of the season saw the firing of the first coach. Mike Brown from the Lakers was given his marching orders. Mike D’Antoni has now been appointed as coach of the Lakers. MDA is famous for his offence (fast tempo, 3 point shooting) but is not renowned for his defence, so it will be interesting to see what impact he will have on the style of play for the Lakers.
As usual, I will do the review of the Premier League, Stowie will do the review of Division One and Rev will do the review of Division Two ( I will edit this thread once I receive the review for Division Two)

There has not been much activity this week in the Premier League. No trade offers were accepted so it looks like everyone is backing their original draft choices for the moment. But there has been plenty of activity on the FA list and waivers.
King of Karlos (1338) v Fudge’s Sixers (989)
Karlos was able to post his first win of the season by comfortably defeating Fudge. Once again Fudge was hit hard by injuries and suspensions (he currently has Bynum, J Rich and Barea all out injured and then Robinson got done for 2 games for elbowing one of his opponents). Fudge was leading this match after day one but it all went downhill from that point onwards. Karlos showed no mercy and also had Nelson miss most of the round as well. The best players for Karlos were Gortat (179/4), Curry (155/4) and Al Jefferson (159/4). For Fudge, Timmy D turned back the clock again with (217/4) followed by Pierce (143/3) and Lawson (142/4)
Run TMC (1359) v Wade Machine (1213)
Run TMC was able to make it 2 from 2 with a hard fought win over Wade Machine. This match was neck and neck right up until the final day when Run TMC was able to outscore Wade Machine by 99 pts. It was a very good win for Run TMC as they had both Crash Wallace and Henderson out for all of the match up. Wade Machine now has a record of 1-1 and will be hoping to bounce back next...

I gotta say, I love the work these guys put in throughout the off season, and again theyve lifted the bar with their <a target="_blank" href="http://www.contestedfooty.com/contestedfootys-2012-afl-draft-guide/">2012 AFL Draft Guide[/url].
It contains a quick bio, an expected draft range and a general summary of the top 50 players in the draft (along with a link through to a more detailed analysis.)
Seriously, if it had the combine info packaged with it, it would contain all youd need to know!
So check it out, and add it to your repertoire of fantasy info- cause when it comes to selecting the right rookies for you list, all these little pieces paint a rich tapestry.

It was a big week in the EPL with the two Manchester clubs gaining valuable wins after coming from behind along with a couple of surprise results. Join me over the break for a full round up...<!--more-->
Villa v Man Utd 2-3
Hernandez was the hero with two goals and an assist (Vlaar OG) after coming off the bench at HT.
I needed Utd to win this one to win some cash for the TooSerious Punt Club so it was probably inevitable then that they should go two goals down. Weimann scoring both of them, DDG prevented his hat-trick with an outstanding save.
RVP and Scholes had the assists. Utd weren’t great and RVP was pretty much anonymous until the 70min mark when he twice hit the bar.
Smalling came in for the injured Evans and looked very rusty. Nani missed through injury while Rooney came off with a foot injury.
Apart from Weimann, Bannan, Ireland and Benteke were impressive for Villa.
Man City v Spurs 2-1
A familiar tale here as Dzeko came off the bench to notch a late winner. Aguero also scored for the citizens. Kolarov, Maicon (sub) and Silva (one assist) were all back from injury. City are unbeaten in 35 home games.
Caulker scored for Spurs from a Huddlestone freekick. Bale was quiet while Defoe was dropped for Adebayor. Naughton, Siguardsson and Lloris remain on the periphery.
Newcastle v West Ham 0-1
In hindsight there could only have been one result as Allardyce, Carroll and Nolan headed back to the North East. Nolan with a MOTM display as well as the winner. It was a deserved win too. McCartney (replaced by the returning Demel), Jarvis and Benayoun all came off injured.
Ba started for the disappointing Geordies while Cisse’s poor showing saw him hooked at HT. His replacemenet Shola Ameobi wasn’t much better. Gutierrez came off injured while Colocinni was missing through suspension. Newcastle are at home to Swansea next week.
Chelsea v Liverpool 1-1

Caulker scored for Spurs from a Huddlestone freekick. Bale was quiet while Defoe was dropped for Adebayor. Naughton, Siguardsson and Lloris remain on the periphery.
Newcastle v West Ham 0-1
In hindsight there could only have been one result as Allardyce, Carroll and Nolan headed back to the North East. Nolan with a MOTM display as well as the winner. It was a deserved win too. McCartney (replaced by the returning Demel), Jarvis and Benayoun all came off injured.
