World Cup DT update

Posted by Chook on 22/6/10 • Categorised as General

Just a quick reminder that the trade window is open in Virtual Sports’ World Cup fantasy game today before the final round of games in the group stage. Scratch your AFL partial lock-out itch by swinging the axe on your underperforming stars of the round-ball game.

The DT Talk league is one of the most-populated leagues in the game, with more than 500 teams taking part. Four of teams from the DT Talk league are currently ranked inside the top 100 overall, including my own Merv Gray Autos. Go you Autos! Well done to Scott’s Mad_5kills, who lead the DT Talk league with 331 points and an overall ranking of 46, (although I’ve sent him off with a red card for the anti-Australian selection of Philip Lahm).

If you’ve been playing the Virtual Sports game all along but haven’t entered the DT Talk league, you can still do so (if you’ve got a spare league left) by entering the code: 309981.

While I’m here, cheers to the DT Talk posters for their good wishes after my missus popped out our second kid last week. With the current dearth of decent rookie downgrades, I’m doing my bit to ensure there’ll be a few more to choose from in the 2028 AFL Dream Team season.

  Cheers, eeepobreci. He’s a solid little fella in the Luke Tapscott mould. Hopefully he’ll take over in Melbourne’s forward line after Tapscott has enjoyed a multi-Coleman, triple premiership career for the Demons.

Any hot tips for the Warne Dawgs this week Chook? I am struggling! Hope Alex is a millionaire after tonight!

  I’m bringing in a couple of Paraguayans, Dawg. Reckon they’ll burst the Kiwi bubble.
  
  Tough end to the group stage with Portugal/Brazil head-to-head and a few teams (Arg/Ned) likely to rest a couple of guns.
  
  Cheers for the pressies. Gamblevin will be proud.

Thanks Chook, I am itching to give Lahm the chop but he’ll have to wait until next lockout.

I might point out he is inside the top 5 most popular players on stat centre…

Your team is solid except Maicon can’t even grow his own hair!

  Ha, but he’s got goals in him!
  
  I’m only joking about the Lahm pick… he’s about as close to a Goddard/Hodge type as you’ll find in World Cup DT.
  
  Good luck for the rest of the tournie. Hopefully you can crack the top 10 or go all the way. I haven’t even checked if they offer prizes, but you’re on track to snag one if they do.

  Buffon is injured i think, also you dont “have” to stick to the 442 formation

Your 2nd doesn’t seem to be going that well Chook… you know?
The team you helped me pick!
“Kewellvinator” is certainly struggling and I’m glad you are going well, cause I think you deliberately made my team bad after you realised that I would smack you up in AFL DT finals. I’m after you bad now Chooka!

Sneijder as captain for me this week hoping he pulls out a nice 10 – 20 against the camaroons. 3-4-3 formation and three trades this week brining in pique,de rossi and fabiano for evra,ronaldo and kaka (because of the red card)

  Sneijder!! Gun player. I’ve gone him captain this week as well, wish I had the clear mind to do that last week…

  Great decision to get rid of Evra as well as they are knocked out, means you can trade based on form this week rather than whi is knocked out.

Thanks to Maquez and a few others i was up to 46 in the world, slipped back to 2000 ish, fought back into top 100 and now im back to 1000. Very up and down :S

Fabregas choice has absolutely killed me.

  Cant really judge position until each lockout stage. But fabregas doesn’t get much of a run for spain. In the lockout stages look for Iniesta or Xavi over Fabregas

  Too late for lockout but thats the formation I’m using this week too.
