Dzeko might get swapped out for a starter??

I reckon you can get good value for money for defenders, especially those that can get forward and assist or score.

Looks like you may need to swap Bale for someone else shortly

Yes with the "special one" back at the Bridge, I think at least one Chelsea player is a must.

Always a problem here keeping up with transfers and injuries, I can alway swap him for Suarez

EDIT: Also just double check that there are no spaces at either end of the code. If I copy the code from your post then there's a space at the end, which could throw the website off I guess.

Are you copying and pasting?

iirc that's what I did and couldn't get through. When I put in manually it worked.

Status: offline 		I'm tempted to put Loic Remy into my team. Can he compete for a full season though? Six months does not a striker make, for further reference I present exhibit A: Amr Zaki.


There's also the chance that Remt will be turning out for HMP Belmarsh F.C. instead.


What I'm hoping for is that Dimi Berbatov has a stormer and that Adel Taarabt learns how to pass to other players (i.e. the rather good Bulgarian striker).

I am still not sure if I am going to join or not.

I am sure it is all for fun but if I sign up I am pretty sure that I am going to get annoyed about how the points gets awarded. Even though I know the system favours players who score goals and I can pick players accordingly. Even writing this gets me annoyed. Go figure.

It is easier for attacking players to score points according to their goals etc, but defensive players often score big bonus points. So picking a good defender in an average team can often result in much bonus if they have a good game, even if they concede 2-3 goals.

JeffK what's with the support for Cardiff - are your family originally from Wales or some other reason? How do you feel about the change of colours and badge?

He was a good player, but some of these guys don't age well.

Thank you for clarifying.

I will make a effort to make a team then.

JeffK what's with the support for Cardiff - are your family originally from Wales or some other reason? How do you feel about the change of colours and badge?

Mum's side is from Abergavenny, Dad's lot jumped ship to join the Gold Rush and started in Beith, Scotland 300 years back.

I really follow Liverpool but like to follow the newbies.

Its interesting how shortlived FA Teams are, Carfiff is only 110 years or so when compared to many of the Australian Rules teams are 150-160 yeards old.

Probably close for which discipline has the older team. Perhaps you may know. Sheffield FC is the worlds oldest Football Club - 1857. I didn't realise Aussie rules football went back so far! wow.
