Hi guys, I'm a die hard EPL fan and fantasy fan and I would like to know if you know of any EPL Previews on the internet. I haven't been able to find one and I'm really interested in doing so.
Please help me :)
If anyone wants to join my EPL yahoo fantasy league, let me know :) thanks.

Too early for that CostaRica. A few teams still have business in the transfer market.
Go to a few English sites in the next week or so. i oersonally think BBC's web site is superb. Some think it's biased but that's their opinion.

Other sites that are bound to have previews are
http://msn.skysports.com/skysports/football
http://www.itv-football.co.uk/
Or buy some magazines.

Anelka had problems scoring for Liverpool last year with any consistency. Now he's at a newly promoted team that will in all likely hood be battling relegation, and he won't get the service at City that he did at Liverpool. He might score a bundle of goals, but my gut tells me that 2.5 million is way too much.

Sure, I agree with you to some extent but in Fantasy games the key is having all your players playing regularly which I think Anelka will at Man City. The other strikers for that price are mostly squad players who will be lucky to play 15 games a season.
Also, KK's teams usually score a lot of goals.

this is the greatest site...i got juninho and geremi for 4.8 mil...wtf? both are top notch. i will be able to have van nistalrooy, hastlebaink and henry up front at this rate...

They haven't done a second update. If you buy Boateng from AV it doesn't matter he'll still count for Boro.
And all the guys who left are still there. They just put them up for £1.5
Hopefully they'll make the changes before the season starts. The great thing is it's free and you can win cash prizes.

Yeah, you can find some unbelievable bargains. Promoted players are only £1.5 and new transfers are usually cheap.
You won't be getting van Nistelrooy, Hasselbaink, and Henry up front though. :)

Why not? Spend 35million on your strikers, a half decent keeper and bargain basement for the rest. At 75 points a goal, 50 for an assist, 75 for a clean sheet and 12 for a save you could easily win with that setup. Hell, I might get another team with just that to prove a point. Damn, I'm so smart!!

I know it's mathematically possible because I've done it. I was talking to Boro_lad, saying you couldn't get those 3 strikers if you picked a good midfield and have enough for a keeper.
