Im on 88pts now, i cant believe how poorly several of my players have performed, if they've played at all.

I must've made 5 transfers already...

Can we start from now

Out of the 16 players i chose at the start, 11 have been injured at some point. Already had to transfer 3 out, including the latest crock; Jamie Carragher.

I'm obviously very pleased with Saturday's results. Transferring in two Pool players ultimately only one me one point since I went with Van Der Sar as captain (thinking Sunderland atleast would get a couple of loose, bad shots in), but it kinda assures me I'm getting better in that aspect. Had I chosen Torres I'd gotten seven more points, and in the end all those small points missed is the difference in success and mediocrity.

Here's hoping City kicks ass tomorrow.

I've just made a raft of transfers today. 12 points down for it, but hopefully they will pay for themselves. Got Hyypia and Harewood having got rid of the inactive Henchoz and Agbonlahor. Viduka out for Crouch.

"Too many players selected from Liverpool" Ahhh!

Reina out for Cech.

Crouch is a gamble. He doesn't even get in the squad for league games.

I'm gonna make more shrewd buys. My two keepers are Newcastles. When i heard Given was fit, i put him back in and he didn't even play him. Clean sheet as well. I should be sacked.

Bugger! Maybe, that wasn't such a good move then.

So let me get this straight: you junked the "inactive" Agbonlahor - who has played every minute of every match this season and scored against Chelsea today - for Harewood, who has played 14 minutes of football this season?

And then you ditched Reina - statistically the best keeper in the league over the last 2 seasons, with more clean sheets than anyone - so you could select Peter Crouch, who has played a grand total of 8 minutes in the league so far this season?

Are you trying to lose this game or what?

Yes, off the bottom, and top for the week by 6pts.

Just a bit more tweaking, then watchout.

Madness, I know. I was fed up with Agbonlahor not scoring so I ditched him, then he scored.

I had already signed Crouch, but wanted Hyypia so i had to ditch Reina because I had too many Liverpool players.

More changes to come as Dunne was sent off today - berk!

At least Ronaldo is back for the next game.

You kept Ronaldo even tho he was suspended for three games, and didn't transfer him out while he was banned?

I think you should call this season a learning curve

It's my first attempt at this.

I'll learn - eventually.

Me too. Ive just realised the importance of loosing 4pts in a transfer, worthwhile when a player could score or play 2 games in a week.

I used mine in the second week cos I only had about 5 players playing out of a squad of 15, due to European matches. Two of the players I transferred in were Elano and Petrov

Might as well just hand the title to me now guys
