Average start - a few tweaks costing me points but I think It'll do well.

Got to really get to grips with the point scoring of the game - especially midfielders.

I don't normally want Man Utd to win but I'm hoping for a Valencia mastershow tonight. A 5-0 win with Valencia getting a hatrick and 2 assists, that should do the job.

Oh dear - I hope you haven't looked at any minileague tables... You can clearly tell those who have had Drogba for Captain and those who haven't :(

Meh, had large Frank as Captain. To be fair on that game he is a regular points grabber.

Me too. Went for Defoe, Doyle and Tevez upfront. Have swapped this for Drogba, Defoe and Harewood now. Had to make about 4 transfers :evil:

Quite worried as I foolishly have Upson in defence and I think West Ham are gunna give a load of goals away this season!

Does anybody know, if I keep my free transfer, will it mean I have 2 free transfers next week?

You can keep up to 2 transfers - but keeping 2 transfers into Week 3 doesn't give you 3 transfers. i.e. it's not cumulative.

Don't forget players, any team changes must be done by 11am tomorrow.

My team will have to stay the same for this week and next as I'm in deepest darkest Wales for the week with no internet access so I fear my gonads will drop even further...

Often, i have picked goalkeepers i know will not play. Therefore they cant lose you any points.

Mine needs tweaking... For now, I am cack.

I think a top half finish would be a good go for me at the minute.
