As I said in my first GW1 article I think its important to front up and show the performance of the various fantasy football geek teams in the various fomats good or bad. Im confident having finished 4880 last year and 5936 the year before that in barclays fantasy premier league over the year I can repeat these good finishes but its a game of patience and holding your nerve when all you really want to do is take 8 point hits every week.
Its not been a great start and the Rooney transfer in GW2 didnt work out and has effected the scores. So here’s the second of the weekly round ups of performance of our various teams in the various formats. Ill be reporting on a Fantasy Football Geek league basis and an overall basis. Ill also try and say where our league is if that information is available

Summary
So a pretty ordinary start overall made worse by the Rooney transfer. Good performances in the telegraph only at the moment and a very bad performance in Sky thanks to my adoption of the passing bonus as the paramount factor.
Heres moving forward to GW3!
