Olaf, any idea whether I can still use Didi Kühbauer? He's not on the list you just provided a link to, but he was sold to Mattersburg after I chose my roster.

Sorry, that money is going down the toilet (together with Kühbauer).

Me? All my players were almost in no-points-land except Petkovic who got me into the minus zone. 33 weeks to go, was not my weekend which can also be seen in the prediction game... (but, hey, FCG won the season opener 4-0, what could be more important? ;))

[Brihodge]

Man, I forgot how much kicker hated Tony Sanneh, why did I pick him? A 6? did anyone see this game? Did he really play that badly? That one cost me 10 points and just totally wiped out the good from everyone else.

I read the scores wrong, thought they were in order from top to bottom. Oh well.

As for Sanneh...I got him too. ugh

I got Petkovic - no difference to Sanneh, except that Petkovic' rating might be right in contrast to Sanneh. I already contacted kicker because of him and other failures in today's edition.

Don't forget to change the lineup if you will, here's the list with probably injured players:

The Wednesday game changed the number of points a little if you're wondering about that.

Still a few spots open if some are interested.

[olafgb]

Rank 3.085 for us after two (2.282 1st and 3.126 this time). Marc won the internal matchday ranking. Kolja stays on top in the season ranking.

[Mattbro]

I redeemed myself with a +11 this week after a -22 last week. My players sure are streaky, but I guess that’s what I get from relying so heavily on 1860, the Jekyll and Hyde club of the league.

In my own defense, though, it should be said that I didn’t really know what the hell I was doing when I chose my roster. I blew 5 million beans on Nowotny, who presumably won’t even play until the second half of the season. Then there’s Bobic, who presumably won’t play at all! Didi Kühbauer buggered off back to Austria, Martin Stranzl broke his jaw. And for some reason, Thomas Schaaf has decided that he’s only going to play the “Ball of Lightning” – Ailton, who has proven that he’s good for 15 goals a season – for more than 10 minutes a game. Oh well, at least Martin Max did me proud.

[olafgb]

Time for renewing the lineup. List of not competing players this weekend: http://www.kicker.de/content/news/artikel.asp?folder=60900&object=270569&liga=1&saison=2002/03&spieltag=3&spielpaarung=&turnier=&gruppe=4373

Just for your information: 120.000 are taking part at the moment.

[olafgb]

OMG, what a matchday. Only Matt, Daniel and Alex have double digits and together we made -2.2 points dropping us to 3.521. 5 of us were positive and 8 negative.

Really, I have never been similarly bad before. WHile in the first two days all were average with ratings between 3 and 4 (okay, Petkovic' 6 in game 1 wasn't helpful either), now I had an outstanding player with Cacau - but not a single one of the other players had a positive effect for me.

[Syncope]

Last season I tried to field a real team. I only picked players that in combination would make a real team, as opposed to five left wingers for example. After about the second or third match day I realized that was completely stupid (or so I thought). One only need about 3-4 of the right names to run away with all the points. I also had tremendous misfortune with injuries and sales of players, so much so that there were days where I couldn't even field eleven playing players.

This year I tried another strategy; spend all my money on a few superstars, and pack the rest in with crap and left-overs. Maybe last year's strategy was better... So far I have 37 points; last year I did much better.

That's always the question whether picking a team with a fairly good amount of talent or chosing top stars plus fillers. If a chosen top player fails, then your whole season over. But in the last years the players were much cheaper and you could have a much better team.

[olafgb]

Time for chosing the lineup for Tuesday/Wednesday. These players won't be able to play: http://www.kicker.de/content/news/artikel.asp?folder=60900&object=271474&liga=1&saison=2002/03&spieltag=4&spielpaarung=&turnier=&gruppe=4373

[Alex_K]

Wow, i was 621st this matchday. I fear that my season is already over now. How can it get better ? ;)

[olafgb]

I should start thinking about changing the sports, maybe chess from now on... Never ever have I been that bad before, every change I make is an awful decision. My persoal hero is Petkovic - I dressed him twice, of course in the games he was rated 6 and 5.5.

[olafgb]

I just saw the community ranking - I think we've got to build a monument for Alex. That's incredible.

My only comfort is that I'm better than my brother this year - it's crazy, this time he's having -54, all years before he finished top 1.000

[Mattbro]

I knew my faith in Ailton - the "Ball of Lightning" would be repaid: 3 goals and 22 points, the man is money. Now I just wish Nowotny weren't injured.
