The Banterbury H2H Leagues are now in their second season and were originally formed to give a few of us seasoned FF managers a real challenge, and what started of as one H2H league soon turned into 4 leagues, due to its popularity
Based on the English league format we now have a Premier League, Championship, League 1, & League 2 with promotion & relegation (3 up, 3 down) with a knockout Cup run every 5 gameweeks. I also added a new competition this year “The Banterbury Shield” (where the top 4 teams in each league at Christmas qualify for a 2nd half of the season Champions League type format).
At the start of this season I had so many managers wanting to enter the leagues that we had to open a Qualification League with the top 3 teams at the end of the season earning a invite into the H2H Leagues for the next season.
Premier
It was a nightmare game-week for the top 4, as they all suffered defeat. Bottom of the table Killer Instincts pulled off the biggest shock by beating pace-setters Cookie’s Monsters 89-77, while defeats for Reubens Rioters, Where’s The Dosh? & Bocadillo Allstars have seen them all slip a couple of places to 4th, 5th& 6th. New boys to the Premier, Arsene’s Boys, move up to 2nd and reigning Champions, Park Bench Exports, now sit 3rd and both have joined Cookie Monsters at the top, albeit with a much inferior goal difference. Eddy Hitler XI lose a tight game to Buzz’s Bomb Squad 55-54 but stay 7th and wins for Gasco’s athletic, Horse FC, I LOVES THE CAKE & Pork n Cheese United keep them all in the hunt for a Shield place come Christmas, At the bottom two of the leagues big guns are now in the drop zone – THE MUTTS NUTS hit the bottom as they lose again, their 10th defeat in 12 outings, but the bigger shock is to see last season 3rd place Kop Warriors fall into the relegation spots zone. Wins for Kojak’s Fireball & Buzz’s Bomb Squad see them move 4 points clear of the bottom 5, who if they are not careful could become involved in their own mini league for survival

Championship
The top spot in this League seems to change hands every week, This week elleffcee has the honour, with WhoIsRonaldo dropping to 4th after a 69-66 defeat to FC Tom Tomsk. James 101 falls out of a Shield place to 5th losing 85-69 to Buzzilona, Gallowgators move up to 2nd, while Real Morbid climbs three places to 3rd after winning the derby in the Kirk household and leaving his dads team, Pathético Morbid, rock bottom. A win for Son of a Pitch sees them take 7th spot & will now see him eyeing a Shield place. Down at the bottom, The Gallant Pioneers lose again and drop back into trouble, Red Magic win but stay in the bottom 3, Mito’s Mercenaries lose 82-56 to Balotellibubbies, meaning they swap places and twitter maestro Mito is now sitting just one place above the drop,

League 1
Well what can we say about the Powerful Potty FC? Still breaking every Banterbury league record in the book with 11 wins & a draw from his 12 games, they are now just one win from almost certainly being the first team guaranteed a spot in the Banterbury Shield in the New Year. We love Manchester remain in 2nd and in pursuit of Potty, while Monty (CazDaz) & CFC (Awesome) swap places in 3rd & 4th. Bodene’s Army win again to stay 5th, wins also for Bradbury Park Avenue & DavesRedDevils see them move up to 6th & 7th. Elsewhere wins for Fergie’s Henchmen, Nosgoth, Slumdog Mignolet & Sporting Abeergut move them away from the danger zone. The five teams at the bottom all lost so there is no change, with poor Nifty’s Hotshots in 19th losing 9 in a row & The Special One remain in perilous position having lost 10 out of their last 11.

League 2
Norfulk-in-chance made up for last week’s defeat to win this game-week and still holds top position, while WhiteBoysDay lost to Wavey Squad & drop from 2nd to 5th with Wavey taking his place in 2nd. E For Idiot & CR win and they make up the top 4. Elsewhere, wins for Manlet FC & Denbow’s Degenerates move them to 6th & 7th. At the bottom, Prata manages to get off the foot for the first time this season and replacing him are destroyers, though all the bottom 5 are on 12 points so a few victories will see any of them climb into safety and away from relegation and the horror of losing their Banterbury Leagues status.

Could you guys tell me where your from just wanna know where your writing from
am from Manchester/old Trafford
Jeet top 4, go get the books out again, old trafford is in salford not manchester, only one team in manchester, citeh. :thumbup:
Please rate my team:
Boruc (Myhill)
Clyne; Coleman; Zabaletta (Collins, Turner (Car))
Oezil, Hazard; Townsend, Brady (Whittingham)
Aguero, Suarez, Lukaku
(£0.1 in bank)
I think my transfer should be of Townsend, maybe for Morrison or Kasami.
What do others think?
Redmecca,
Pretty good squad mate, though I think your midfield is a bit light. I would take Morrison over Kasami and if you did that transfer would it make you any money ?
I would then look to shippit Zabaleta for a cheap(ish) defender and then work on that midfield – may take 3/4 moves but you’re not far away from a really top squad.
For example:
GW13 sell Townsend for Morrison
GW14 sell Zab for Gabiddon
GW15 sell Ozil for Walcott
GW16 sell Brady for …..?? Depends on your money but you should be able to afford a proper mid….have a play with it
Hi Cookie,
Thanks for your expert feedback.
I’ve copied and pasted your suggestions into my “Notes” section on FFL.
Best regards!
Red, I wouldn’t call it expert, but maybe it’s a way to beef it up a bit. Just have a play with the possibilities, while checking the fixtures (and form) at the same time.
Let us know how you go, but I would defo do the Morrison one this week – Hammers have a few decent games coming up and they still haven’t got a proper striker, so much will depend on him and Nolan.
Ok, will do,
I bought Oezil a few weeks after he joined Arsenal and kind of viewed having him all season because he was bound to bag loads of assists.
You don’t see him as a permanent fixture then?
Morning Red, sorry didn’t see this last night – I don’t consider anyone a season keeper – fitness, form and rotation play such a big part now that no-one is guaranteed to stay in my team all season…but Suarez is as close as you’re going to get!!
I would take a fit Walcott to Ozil personally, but I need to see him prove his fitness first.
Great attacking team go for Morrison against poor Fulham team
Might even get goal or assist up to u redmecca
Thanks, Morrison it is then.
Hey guys, just logged in, and I am shocked at the amount of arguing and insults being thrown around. If you want a site to talk shit to each other on, this is not it! So please, to all those involved, sort it out because it seems to have gone past the usual banter, and that is not what we want.
Cheers,
PvR
Evening PvR, most of it is just banter mate, don’t worry. Anyway, back to footie – what transfers have you made this week mate ?
Most of it? 😉
I have gone Ozil to Walcott, so that I could upgrade Eto’o to Negredo. This is for a -4 hit. I wanted some City coverage upfront but didn’t want to downgrade so much to be able to bring in Kun…
I like both those moves, shame about the hit, but then one do your strikers being injured is a bummer.
You talking about Eto’o, or is there Suarez or Sturridge injured…
I actually got Eto’o out b4 he was injured, he wasn’t going very well at all and having a 8.3 striker that isn’t performing in your team is a recipe for disaster…
Was talking Eto’o mate, but an injury for Sturridge is never far away!
Lol, arguing and insults? You’ve seen nothing ! I think it’s past your bedtime mate 😉
:big-lol:
haha past my bedtime? Makes sense I suppose, if it wasn’t only 9 am. Anyway chopper, how is our CL team coming along?
Plenty of time for that. PS> I WAS hung over. Now gonna sweat it out playing footy
wow 12 hrs difference, its 9:20 pm here. i suppose i am 12hrs ahead of you
Nope 12 hours behind mate, its the 29th here…
PVR-dont worry. This is like old times. (they secretly ‘wrestle’ each other after)
You forgot to mention we oil up first chopper :big-lol:
Oil? Thats a bit posh for you lot up there I thought you use peas pudding!
i wanted to say the same but i did not want to interfere and its good i did bcos it turned out to be nothing and the victim was very mature.
people take insults differently, some take it as a joke,while some get pissed. no point insulting someone cos of something we are not even paid for. its just football, we should not take this serious
People also need to know that not everything they see is serious. I know some people on here for over a year and they know that I’m not serious in the things I say, except towards the pact 😉

That is a bit harsh aguerooo, but very true. And please don’t call your phone stupid, is not like it has much to work with. 😉
Funny guy agueroooo, Good news then that your phone isn’t the only stupid thing in the house 😉
Please don’t be too hard on me or else I’ll quit the site for good or actually I’ll just change my name 😉

anyway its either me or the phone thats stupid and i am not prepared to take the blame for that
and suarez, dont worry, its common sense that boys should take it easy on the girls
Wow, what a pathetic comeback … Zzzz Zzzz

Thats right HAZARD!
It’s banter, nothing more nothing less, chill out!!!
