da doce： It’s remarkable how much of an influence selecting a fantasy football team can have on how you follow the rest of the weekend’s action besides from your own team, their rivals and teams battling around them in the league. Personally it ensures my natural instinct for supporting the underdog goes out the window to accommodate my Chelsea drenched fantasy football team.
Each Didier Drogba goal at Stamford Bridge against relegation candidates now leaves a bittersweet taste, as opposed to the traditional sense of mere dull inevitability. The smug joy of seeing the nouveau riche Manchester City fail to break down a stubborn team assembled for a fraction of the cost, such as last weekend against Birmingham, is now dampened by the knowledge that this inevitably means Carlos Tevez failed to find the back of the net. Sure assembling my team compiled of players from clubs I don’t hate is one way around this particular minefield. But who’d really be confident in a fantasy football team consisting of no Manchester United, City or Chelsea players? Especially when considered that this team has to compete in a league of about 20, with all the other fantasy football teams managed by friends or colleagues. And who wants to prop up that league given that at least five of these other managers have no knowledge or interest in football? No, I’d rather take on players from the big clubs in order to maintain the hope of being able to gloat down the pub or around the office that I am evidently the best fantasy football manger, out of those participating in that league. As in the end that’s what fantasy football is built on, the gloat. Unfortunately that dream is never realized as I am always unable to pull away from mid-table mediocrity.
Having a fantasy football team also makes you surprisingly invested in the form of other players that you would not normally be overly concerned with. Everton’s Mikel Arteta has always been a stalwart of my fantasy football teams. At the heartbeat of his team, he has an aura of class that in my mind puts him above team mate Tim Cahill. Although he never costs anywhere near as much as the more predictable names of Gerrard, Lampard of Fabregas he always amasses a high number of points at the end of the seasons after consistently high performances.
Yet so far this season Arteta has failed to reach his peak form shown in previous years. He seems to have epitomised Everton’s stuttering start to the season. And last weekend’s poor performance against Arsenal, which ended in him, being subbed off raised serious questions over his future in my team. But could I really drop him? He’s always been the rock that my team is built around. As his manger (of sorts) I feel a bit let down by his current form. And I’m sure if he was aware of the damage he was doing to countless fantasy managers up and down the country, he’d be able to raise his game back to its best. Needless to say With Moyes appearing unable to turn around his poor form I feel as one of his many fantasy football managers I’m as best placed as anyone to advice the Everton manager on how to best use one of his prize assets. Certainly that is one of the constant thoughts when managing a fantasy football team.
