Not bad! I’m now ranked #70 in the list! That’s a jump of about 70 places in one gameweek despite the 16 penalty points that were docked for excess transfers. All this because of a whopping 70 points that I earned in the third gameweek. And I think, slowly I’ve started to understand how to play this game.
My key players are Drogba, Lampard and Rooney. I thought of getting Torres but I didn’t. it turned out to be a good move. Torres looks completely out of sorts on the pitch. If Liverpool continue this trend, I don’t see him to be the star point-grabber in fantasy league. Coming back to my key players, I have Drogba because I believe that he would win the golden boot this season. I have Lampard because he would be top scoring midfielder and also topping the assists charts. Rooney is there because he is now in a better role to score more goals. And this season, we all know that Fergie expects Rooney to score a million times. A good bet, from a fantasy league point of view, given that I don’t think Berbatov would outscore Rooney and there are no other big scorers in Man Utd.
I got no one from Liverpool or Arsenal. I ignored Liverpool because they’re bad. I ignored Arsenal because I hate them. If there is someone I’d pick from Arsenal it would obviously be Arshavin because he is so unlike the Arsenal players. In my 15-member team, I’ve got 2 players each from Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Stoke City and Man Utd, one each from Hull City, Fulham and Bolton.
I’ve made one transfer this weekend. I’ve brought in Assou-Ekotto for Pantsil. One tip is not to have players from teams which play the toughest opposition this weekend. I chose Pantsil from Fulham only for Chelsea to beat them 2-0 and inflict some damage onto my fantasy league team points. So, for this weekend, don’t have anyone from Burnley as Chelsea would maul them!
A word on the league leader. Samuel Seah continues to top the league. He’s got 205 points! Really surprising how he continues to stay on top. Whoever you are, wherever you are, Samuel Seah, come and take your compliments. Cheers!
hmmmm. transfers! i didn´t knew that. hehe thanks for the tips BC!
Champions League draw for the group stages coming up! For us west coast people in the States, it will be at 830am on FSC on Thursday.
And i am struggling in 164 position…with just 91 points!
That shameless lescott failed me…he was an ugly scene against arse-anal!
from 22—->30…i have a feeling drogba is going to get the golden boot if he stay fit.
hahaha i got from 54 to 19 place . i am so lucky and btw i also think drogba will win the golden boot mainly because his the best striker there is
Ohhhh and BC i forgot to mention Bluechampions league is ranked in 11 place out of 166,326

we are going for de guzman. he is good but i want to se a player like lika modric, sneijder etc. totenham wants joe cole, and i belive we should swap him for modric plus money? i love cole but i cant se him in this years starting 11.
i will rather have chelsea facing real or inter now to access our situation especially real as i dont recall chelsea facing real in recent memory

I think it’s incredible we’re so highly ranked. If I can’t top our league, I can still try to benefit the league’s overall rank. Let’s hope we can stay consistently on top.
By the way, is there a way to see all the private league rankings? I can’t seem to find a way…
I wish we get the toughest group so that we beat them all and win it. Having Real Madrid, Athletico and Wolfs burgh would be my ideal tough group for us. I also wish to meet Barca on route and thrash them with our style of football, because we truly deserve to win CL more than any other club as we are the most consistent Club in CL for last 5 years.
Luck and controversy have eluded us so far, our time is now & it begins today! (First Match day on 15/16 Sept)
Did u guys see Arsenal-Celtic yesterday? It was disgusting of Eduardo to drawn a penalty by diving. All the sympathy he gained in the footballing world because of his injury and to return this way to scoring is cheap. He knew Boruc was coming, and dived to make it look like a penalty.
Referee wasn’t too far he was at the edge of the penalty area & and I could see on T.V. and guess it right that he had dived because Boruc had no contact whatsoever! Just how many times are these Uefa’s favorite clubs like Barca, Man u, Arsenal etc. going to get away with it?
I hope we don’t become the victims & so we should rather try to put the game to finish before we suffer another heart break. Our players are most dedicated to the cause of the club and I think Carlo Ancellotti is the perfect manager to bring out the best in them. The Cup is finally going to be ours this time. KTBFFH !!!

Ohh I will be late for work tomorrow morning.
Gentlemen,
It would be super for Chelsea to play Real Madrid in the group stages but especially more so in the first knockout stage as maybe Chelsea are the only team that Real fear to go up against. A win over them would firmly put Chelsea in its rightful place as indisputably one of the top teams in the world and would be icing on the cake when we win the CL this year !
Man,that was so satisfying to write…….. arrogance exemplified as some fans of other teams would say….

Theres no actual table to see the rankings but when you go to bluechampions league go to table and on top of Evolutions team it says BlueChampions.Com Le (ranked 11 out of 167,252)
Breaking News: Robben has agreed to join Bayern Munich in a deal beleived to be in the region of £22M, Wesley Sneijder has also agreed to join Inter Milan for £13M. I would of loved for Sneijder to join Chelsea and at the price tag of £13M that is a bargain, Mourinho must be over the moon. Robben joining Bayern does make you speculate as to is Ribery really staying?? I guess onnly the next 5 days will tell. Huntelaar, Robben, Sneijder and soon VDV will all be out of Real and we funny enough we didnt even bother going for any of them,

Oh well only time will tell what our real intetions are at Chelsea.

I agree its sad that we missed out on at least two of those players. makes me wonder if chelsea plan to replace them .. …
John Terry … Defender of the year!!!!!!!!!!!
FCUK ! FCUK ! We got Athletico in our Group so far. Damn Red nose is lucky as always
Well Well group A & C seems to be entirely messed up ! BM, Juve, Bordeaux so far. But I believe the dark group is ourselves, D. so far
Group A: Bayern Munich, Juventus, Bordeaux
Group B: Manchester United, CSKA Moscow, Besiktas
Group C: AC Milan, Real Madrid, Marseille
Group D: Chelsea, Porto, Atletico Madrid
Group E: Liverpool, Lyon, Fiorentina
Group F: Barcelona, Inter, Dynamo Kyiv
Group G: Sevilla, Rangers, Stuttgart
Group H: Arsenal, AZ, Olympiacos
Group A: Bayern Munich, Juventus, Bordeaux, Maccabi Haifa
Group B: Manchester United, CSKA Moscow, Besiktas, Wolfsburg
Group C: AC Milan, Real Madrid, Marseille, Zurich
Group D: Chelsea, Porto, Atletico Madrid, APOEL
Group E: Liverpool, Lyon, Fiorentina, Debrecen
Group F: Barcelona, Inter, Dynamo Kyiv, Rubin Kazan
Group G: Sevilla, Rangers, Stuttgart, Unirea Urziceni
Group H: Arsenal, AZ, Olympiacos, Standard Liege
There it goes, We got a pretty descent opposition. FCP is the dark horse in our group. Arse and Red nose got it easy and I think Benitez will not make it to next stage, hopefully !!!! any predictions for A and G ???
Im glad we drew the likes of Porto and Atletico, thou I would loved for us to draw Real and Inter but oh well, we also drew some next club from Greece I beleive. Anyway all these teams will provide a good challenge, the only worrying thing is no Drogba for first 3 matches and no Bosingwa for first 2 matches, now that will prove to be a pain in the ass, specially against the likes of Porto and Atletico!!
Porto, Athletico and APEOL complete our group D. Well I had hoped for better teams in our group, but anyways we’ll meet them in the knockouts. Arsenal and Man U have relatively easy ones. Liverpool might lose to Lyon. They have this new player Bastos who is very good.
Jose gets Barca. Kaka to play against Milan. Bayern/Juve another good clash. This season will surely be exciting. CL crown is surely ours this year. KTBFFH !!!
Arsenal have the easiest group possible those jerks
I wish we got Group C
Chelsea must beat athletico by 5 goals to kick aguero ass.Terry got what he deserved.
I would’ve preferred being in group G, but oh well. We had tougher groups before (Barca and Werder) so I’m sure we’ll make it through.
Group D: Chelsea, Porto, Atletico Madrid, Apoel
this is our group. I don’t who Apoel are but I will eventually lol
but to go to the promise land we have to beat every 1.
and Porto aren’t as good as last year. Atletico are a touch team but this is a decent group.
I rather have a good opponents already in the groupstage then to play weaker teams and then get blown away by the big guns.
what u think guys???
@CFCIR what are you hating on Atletico??? they are a good and fun team to watch?!!
oh how nice that Inter got BarKa
I will be dieing to see the Barka´s get their ass whooped and that eto shines in those games!!!
pizarro score twice today , 5 goals in 3 macths …!!

sure will be a pain!! and the management did do anything to counter this…. i said it before.. anelka cant lead the line as well.. i i heard that Carlo wont have sheva in his Cl list of players
kuhulai :Aguero is my faviorate player and their bastard chief put 56m price tag on him.That mean i will never see anything like messi at chelsea.

I thought the only reason we were keeping sheva was for the first champions league games; african cup and while we’re at it the carling cup???
The first three games are crucial in CL are crucial . We play Porto and Athetico Madrid at home without Drogba.. I think we got the toughest draw among english clubs ( comparable with Liverpool). Arsenal would be laughing their way out..
Hope joe cole is fit by the CL games. Ancellotti can play christmas tree with deco and joe behind Anelka.

yea they are from cyprus.
Thanks mate. It’s going to get tougher as every weeks go by.
Don’t know about you guys, but it looks like a pretty safe and boring group for Chelsea. I would’ve liked Real Madrid in our group instead. I know that AM and Porto are great teams, but honestly they don’t stack up to our team in any department. They’ll need everything to go their way on match day for them to win.
I wish the boys luck and justice (they need both considering past few years)
Office:Snejider to Inter Milan
[Never] 
Office:Robben to Bayern Munich
Office:Ribery to Chelsea
Bayern signing Robben is a definite hint that Ribery may leave. I hope there is a last minute surprise present for Chelsea fans. Remeber Robinho !!!!!!!!!

i would have been nice to have mariid.. IF we would have had the service of DROGBA …
guys please remember that we will be without 2 key players for some vital matches.
Now i here that sheva will be sold…. and kenyon keeps saying we wont buy anyone.,.. WTF….lets take a closer look, because it seems these guys are setting us up to fail, we got the hardest group of the English team, we will be without Drogda and Jose…. we will only have 4 strikers.. for the season after sheva leaves… we missed out on KUN who we now have to face in the group stage with out Mr. Drog our top striker…. our backs are against the wall guys…..
kenyon better fix this .. ned a striker…because anelka and kalou and sturridge cant do it be them selves….
We need someone that can play as a striker…. yeah we could go 4-4-1-1…. but we need more quality.. we are always short on strikers…at chelsea fc
damn it man .. they knew they were not gonna keep sheva.. why the hell sell Pizarro then … the man is banging in the goals!!!…. they better be after a good striker.. we all forgot about.. but hey if we forgot about that striker.. is he any good….
guys if u didnt notice we currently have 4 strikers if shevchenko leaves:
Anelka
Drogba
Strurridge
Kalou
and during the african nations drogba and kalou will be gone right?
so that leaves us with anelka and sturrdige for 1 whole month. We usually play the diamond so that means we will be playing both of them every game for 90 minutes?
But if we play the tree formation we will have one striker and 2 attacking mids, so we could still have one striker on the bench, its not enough i think. What if one of them gets injured?

we dont need to have 2 strikers on the bench, and we especially dont need to spend huge amounts of money for the second sub. i think that we can take our chances that neither will be injured, its only for one month…
what’s this isteria going on?
Cool off! The board will think of smth.
Di Santo will be back in January, and that means we will have 3 strikers. If we can’t replace two strikers, then chelsea is no good team, which i doubt it.
We will be good, i personally don’t want to sign any strikers. Let’s see how our bench and reserves will do.
But i personally think the board will sign someone if not this transfer then on january. We can not always buy and buy.
Chelsitos! My internet connection is out. So no preview post this weekend! Hope it’s fixed by tonight! Chelsea 4-0 Burnley.
Ahem my 2 cents about the striker ” dilemma ‘ at Chelsea come January…
Anelka’s still around and Lamps , Joe Cole and Sturridge even Zirkov could all step up to be second strikers ….
Might seem like shit my idea but hey could work u know … without buying all the time… Dont need to overpay grotesquely like Citeh and Real Crazy Madrid have…
I don’t really think we need another striker for January. 3 strikers would do the job. We should stop madly going after just buying and buying and buying!
We should give more chances to sturridge/di santo and kakuta/woods/hutchinson in our first team line-ups, otherwise we’ll have to keep on buying and there’s no use whatsoever of our academy and reserve team. Think that its really time sturridge plays today as its better he gets playing time and be in a better shape incase someone gets injured (i hope not).
3-0 win for us today (Yes a clean sheet again)! Also hope that Man U-Arsenal draw their match and somehow Birmingham allow only 1 goal against Tottenham (difficult) so that we go top. KTBFFH !!!
WoW! Great win today! We’re gonna win the title. Arsenal are losing.
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/stats.mc?stat=bestleagues check this out were ranked 11 out of a lot probably 100,000
sunbears 2-1 arse. man oh man they got off pretty lucky there, arsenal played much better. that penalty happens nearly every game, ive hardly ever seen it called, and the diaby og… nice goal by arshavin though
great game by chelsea, anelka played a half hour longer than he should have. not quite sure why drogba was subbed, or why beletti came in, he played poorly. anyway, a win is a win. good 3 points.
BC! Where’s the postgame article? And your thoughts on the CL draw?! Let’s get that internet fixed! =)
Chelsea are looking really good, I just don’t want to wait 2 weeks for our next fixture @ Stoke. Must be qualifiers coming up this weekend, but it’s nice to see us top of the league for the time being.
ManU does play beautiful and quality football, not to mention imaginary ..while Burnley has more chances of winning the title based on quality, nothing can out-power Manu-***-licking referees :X
Arsenal should have won the tie ! I was really frustrated by ManU’s so-called-beautiful game, not even a single good move.
Also, can’t imagine how ManU couldn’t score against Burnley, again with their beautiful game. Chelsea just stormed through !
The way that Liverfool , Arse-up-ended and ManUre sunbears played yesterday was very encouraging for us, in terms that they were were all utter shite……. bandy-legged and
ManUre needed the obligatory refs help and a ridiculous OG by Diarra to win
Arse- up-ended-nal ran around like headless chickens for the last 30 min of the game and showed they were pretty but shite
Liverfool were huffing puffing away like old athsmatic ladies and couldn’t defend ……. Gerrard doing good only in the end..
All Chelsea gotta do is make sure to win title is that : when we lose or draw a few games …. and they will inevitably arrive…is not to think its the end of the world…. but just shove off the blips… pull the sleeves up and get on with the winning…..
