The line has been drawn HERE... this far, no farther!


We have played some awful football. Hopefully, we have reached our nadir and the only way is up. Enough about the Fluffykitten Killers though, what's happening with LFC these days huh!!

Even at this early stage there is a 50-point gap between top and bottom but then Taman's team have had it easy and have been playing the easy teams but now have their first real test this weekend... oh hold on, I'm confusing myself with Chelski. Errm, everyone above me has obviously been lucky but their luck is about to run out.

Well done to Uma for her best week ever and no wonder as she has no Scum (aka Man U) players in her team! What's up Ums, no faith in your own team? Tut tut. Team loyalties mean nothing to Taman though - he is ruthless enough to have a Scum player in his team and it looks like his betrayal is actually working as he enjoys the delights of the summit. Be careful the thin air doesn't make you dizzy though cuz you are coming DOWN with a bump!

I know we have reached the bottom, so much so that even kittens laugh in our faces. However, my team is getting stronger... the season begins right now... lock up your kittens - the Killers and LFC are coming!

The stop-start season starts once again

Is it normal for the season to start and stop like it seems to have this season? What's with all the international breaks? Anyway, once again the Premiership kicks off and hopefully we can get a good run.

Stop-start is probably a good way to describe my team too - it still hasn't quite gelled but it's early days yet. What's freaking me out is just how close to me Bhaiya is! Will I face the ignominy of last place next week or will the international break give me a boost?


If my slump continues then Bhaiya will have to change his team name! Hopefully we can get an extra member in our league to boost the numbers soon (and I'm hoping his team is cack!).

It seems that everyone's fantasy teams are mirroring the performance of their respective clubs - Arse are flying high as is Sofwan (nice one!), Spuds are flattering to deceive, Scum are just poop (haha Uma!) and LFC are just on the cusp of rebounding to greatness (WOO!).

No awards this week but I'm hoping to give Liverpool a 'Best Team of the Week' award on their upcoming performance this Sunday - COME ON LFC!

I leave this post with one mysterious question: what happened to the post that Nadhir put up on his FB account when Spuds were 2-0 up midweek??? Nads, care to enlighten us?

We have a high flyer... and then he wakes up

Last weekend's footy action was incredible with all the 6-0s. However, the highlight of my fantasy footy week was when Taman came down the stairs and excitedly claimed that he was number 78 in the whole fantasy league competition! You have to admit that that is pretty impressive out of 2 million players...

...a few minutes later he came down the stairs with the realisation that he wasn't 78 in the competition after all - he had 78 points. LOL

Although he might not be top of the whole thing, Tams added to that tally and has shot to the top of the Bengal Tigership, which I believe is a first ever. Enjoy it while it lasts for a few more days is what I would recommend.


Oh; there's only ONE award this week and it is a big one:

Chicken Sh*t Award: JB - cuz he is one for not entering and then getting his wife to comment on his behalf (see last week's post)!

And we're off...


The whistle peeps and the fantasy league season begins once more. I think the World Cup has jaded a lot of people as this season the Bengal Tigership is looking very light on teams but this of course means that certain people (ie Bhaiya) have a good chance of not actually coming last.

Despite playing FL for many years, every week lessons can still be learnt on how to optimise strategies for FL and these are my words of wisdom for the week: Do not do your fantasy team from your bed on your mobile at 5 in the morning before the season kicks off

This weeks awards go to:
  • Usain Bolt Award: Uma (BOO!)
  • New Season Same Old Poop Award: Bhaiya (*snigger*)
  • Best Team Name: ME (you know it's true!)
  • Lamest Team Name: Sofwan (yeah, I bet you thought it would be 'Zzzzzzz' [don't count the z's] but seriously, 'Fabregas XI'?!?!? Man, there is more inspiration in a single letter repeated ad nauseam than there is in that. Imagine if we all did that: Gerrard XI, Young Boys XI, Scottish Drunkard XI - see, where's the fun people?!)
Remember people: it's a marathon and not a sprint...


ez (FluffyKitten Killers FTW!)
