2014/2015 European Football Thread

Javi Martinez possibly torn ACL...damn.

 

We need to buy a world class defender asap, knew it was risky to go into this season with only four central backs.

I hope he can get consistent playing time, either at Tottenham or a different team on loan.

 

Well, we got Holger back, I think he will anchor the defense. Holger and Boateng, with Dante as backup. I guess we should have extended Daniel van Buyten for another year. Not sure there is too much great quality on the market at this point...Godin would be one player I would like.

 

La Liga - Real Madrid will win this... UNLESS Suarez goes off and becomes the first striker to mesh with Messi.
EPL - Too much talent for Mourinho to not win this... It is sad that there are so few English players on this team. Liverpool though, that's a truly English team and if Sterling makes a leap they can challenge again.
Serie A - I'm looking for Pogba to make another leap to Galactico status.
Bundersliga - Something weird is going on at Bayern, but they're just too talented.
Ligue 1 - Falcao might go to Madrid leaving no one to challenge PSG.

Champions League - Too unpredictable... Both Madrid teams, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern, and PSG can all take this.

 

First Striker to mesh with Messi? Heard of David Villa?

Moy has a squad too talented to win? Hmmm I've heard this story before lol.

 

As a Madrid fan, I'd love to see Suarez mesh with Messi exactly like David Villa did. I don't want Suarez to come close to 30 goals and I'd love to see him play out wide and become less threatening. I know he got hurt, but he was not the same player he was at Valencia.

As for Mourinho, I get that he's polarizing, but the EPL is his thing and Chelsea has a legit striker now. They almost won without one.

 

Ugh. They are sending Deulofeu on loan again. I really wanted him on the team this year.

 

Anyone down to do BPL fantasy here?

 

I would probably be down.

 

I created one..

I might be interested. How does this work?

 

Its a salary-based weekly lineup game.

 

I'm doing one through work as we have a ton of EPL fans. Here's my lineup this week. I made this last week, so don't know if anyone is injured.

Howard
Fonte
Zabaleta
Caulker
Ward
Hazard
Ramsey
Puncheon
Noble
Bony
Riviere

Any good?

 

Man I have no ****ing idea. I suck at fantasy football.

 

I'm down. I'm relatively new to the sport though so... I'm going to suck.



I don't know what I'm doing halp.
