Welcome to the 2004/2005 EPL season and the Fantasy.premierleague.com game. This is a thread for those eight managers of teams in the Drafted League, Very Small Rocks.

Request each manager post his final pre-season roster after post-draft adjustments are made, and post any updated rosters based on trades during the season. This way, the other managers can review your latest roster post to avoid trying to select someone on your team.

The internal competitions will probably be discussed here along with some intra-league competitions with the sister drafted league, Small Rocks.

Check out their season thread for types of posts than are appropriate and useful in a season thread since all those managers are veterans.

Good luck to all the Very Small Rocks managers. For sure, the Top 2 Managers from this league will be offered a spot to replace the Bottom 2 performing managers in the Small Rocks division.

We may make a combined thread and the Top 8 returning Managers get the first shot at being in the Premier League next season. Or we may take the top 4 from each league. It's a function of how active the managers are and how well they perform.

Remember to play "Nice" with each other and clean up after yourself!

You only got Henry because of wesley's power outage so his first turn was skipped, and I didn't step in to start making picks for him until round 2. That said, I still like the team you assembled.

wesley wouldve probably picked angel with his 1st pick lol
but on a more serious not i was expecting to get ruud with the 4 pic but then the hernia thing came up and i was suprised he went first
a bit of an orthodox pick

I told you all you were in for a shock. All of you thought I was going to pick Henry. Anyway what do you think of this strike force

Ruud van Nistelrooy
Mateja Kezman
Jon Stead

well ruud will be out a couple of games and he will have saha and smith playing alongside him,2 seasons ago when he was on fire and won the golden boot in the epl he had to do it all on his own meaning saf played mostly with a single striker now ruud will have to share some opportunities with smith and saha you know what i mean


kezman sure his psv record looks great--and hes looked good in the champions world series but why dont you go and check out his stats in psv champions league games and his record for his national team
thats all i have to say about him
also i think kezman will be playing mostly when robben is starting since they understand each other but he isnt guaranteed a regular starting spot and mutu is back at chelsea again plus he has that 3 game suspension

stead he might give you 10 goals

conclusion i got a much better striker force
henry
cisse the next henry
and defoe the next big thing in england
wayne who defoe is talent
and the other young guy that should really step up to get called to the national team is wright phillips

I know you got a much better strike force. Your team is great. BUT how would you rate my strike force on a scale of 10?

[tomvandamn]

let me take a look at everyone else then i will rank it
