I used to watch much more football than nowadays

When I first read the news I thought they were talking about Sol Campbell (a fine player I liked). I don't know this Dj guy.

The other five arrested are Nigerian scammers too?

warspite1

I have no idea who they are apart from Sodje and at least one Englishman - DJ Campbell. I was simply playing along with your little wheeze.

Came to realize that very few teams "hold the 0", so a goalie is not that big a deal anymore it seems. Same with defence (apart from those that score the occasional goal), so focus on forwards and midfields, and then just fill in the empty spaces...

EDIT: What The....? Make that nine goals - and finally one of my boys scored!!

Not too good a round here either (until Suarez scores 5 tomorrow that is ), goalie - 1 pt, 3 defenders 12 points, 3 out of 4 mifielders - 14 pts, 2 out of 3 strikers - 4 pts...

Only Yaya Toure and Coleman did well. My goalie just played 45 mins

For the second time the Spurs got hammered at home. I only hope Warspite didn´t watched this disaster live. Only good thing, I benched Dawson...

Was watching it on TV...well until they scored. We are really dire. Two flattering wins against Premiership strugglers and the 6-0 against Man City is forgotten? I don't think so....

Putting Soldado back in proved to be a bit useful as well

I have not modified my team for a month or so. But I still like the idea and think that I should enter and do something each week but, alas, it slips my mind.

With that said I am not happy with the rules they have and how they distribute points. I do not understand how they can give one player more points than several other players together. I would dearly like to see one player that good against 5 and I would bet that the 5 would win even if they are as bad as I am. I do not understand why offence rewards individual points but defence reward the points on a position basis. Not happy at all!

With that said I think it is great fun overall.

The only two things I am unhappy about are a) I'm not winning and b) the captain rule. I suppose it keeps the interest alive through unpredictiblility, but its too powerful...

I am unhappy with the fact that the best defender in the world would always get less points than a bad defender in the same team that has the same play time but occasionally scores. One could argue that the good defender would get more extra points but so far I have not seen that happen. They seem to distribute the extra points for offence and the offence already gets to much points.

Edit: I agree with you on the captain rule.

She's fine thanks, a bit of jaundice but the hospital have said they don't need to see her any more. Big brother is keen so far, but there's still novelty value attached...

The lack of a PC makes it hard for me to make any changes to my team, so I still conisder myself in the competition, do not expect any huge changes in my team :P
