    Isn't the aim of the opposition to NOT let him do anything?

    no, eriksson doesn't give him that much flexibility. He is the old defensive midfielder in England, not the "carry the weight of the team alone and strike a long range cannon to stage a miraculos come back" Gerrard of Liverpool.

    oh.. and the name is bang bang bang bang, not just bang bang bang.

    [​IMG] Riquelme is the official Man of the Match in a 6-0 game and how many fantasy points does he get? -0.5, he's credited with one foul committed and that's it. Negative points! :mad:

    The scoring system in this fantasy game is truly abysmal. :confused:

    well, if you well aware of the scoring system of this fantasy game, then you would know how to play by it.

    when i set up my team initially, i pick the players i like or the hardworking players. It is later i realize, the problem is, hardwokring doesn't transfer to score in this system.

    A few "keys" are missing from this scoring system. The easiest way to judge "involvement" of a player in a match is the pass and heading stats. This scoring system doesn't include this. It would be nice also if one can get extra score from the man of the match.

    Sure, I understood the scoring system when I created the Cuddly Kittens and I don't regret picking Riquelme as captain. He could just as well have ended up with several assists and shots on goal.
    Sour grapes for him not getting any points. :)

    My criticism stands though; the scoring system is weak and Riquelme being chosen Man of the Match and getting negative points highlights that.
    You mention a few stats that could easily have improved the game were they included. I agree with you.

    there goes zidane. maybe this is his international last match, ever.

    players like ronaldinho, young zidane etc, are famous for their technique, passing, creativity, all these matter nothing in the scoring system of this fantasy game.

    You can't measure creativity in a fantasy game. This is our fault for not choosing Ghana's goal scorers in our team.

    well, if you take passing and dribbling into consideration, a playmaker would have more chance to making passes and such and would get more points out of it.

    Why do you keep going on about "Buller"? That's a one horse town in the South Island that nobody ever visits. Are you planning on going there?

    Well, well. It seems I had a good day yesterday! :D
    Remember though, my "Slow Food Lovers" are not in competition anymore since I decided to go with the "Cuddly Kittens". Was that a bad decision?

    0 points... 0 points... Sound familiar? It seems we all suffer from having our players benched today.
