I did RvP to vdV, and dumped Ade for him....

Do we have an update on this?

VDV Santon
Adebayor RVP

Getting back my main man and, for the first time I think, getting a 4 man defence. May as well go all eggs in the defensive basket while they have a stable line up.

Still got 20 transfers left. Got cash, do I blow it on Aguerro tomorrow????

Closing the gap. My geordie boys are showing good bouncebackability

I blame the absence of Smalling and Jones

I bet the old get brings de Gea back as well

League contenders falling like flies today

Ex-contenders

Dear oh dear blah.....

fancy Kuszczak as Ben Amos aint listed?

A quick look at keeper/team cleansheets reveals.....

(positions determined on number of cleansheets, if drawn then single keepers placed higher than double keepers due to transfers needed to gain cleansheets)


Pos - Team - CS - Keeper(s) - League Pos - Gain/Loss
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Man United - (11) - Lindegaard 6 De Gea 5 - 2nd (-1)
2. Tottenham - (10) - Friedel 8 Cudicini 2 - 11th (-9)
3. Man City - (9) - Hart 9 - 9th (-6)
=. Swansea - (9) - Vorm 9 - 10th (-7)
5. Arsenal - (8) - Szczesny 8 - 19th (-14)
=. Chelsea - (8) - Cech 8 - 1st (+4)
=. Liverpool - (8) - Reina 8 - 5th (0)
=. Newcastle - (8) - Krul 8 - 3rd (+2)
9. Fulham - (8) - Schwarzer 6 Stockdale 2 - 12th (-3)
10. Stoke - (7) - Begovic 5 Sorenson 2 - 13th (-3)
=. Sunderland - (7) - Mignolet 6 Westwood 1 - 14th (-4)
12. Everton - (5) - Howard 5 - 7th (+5)
=. QPR - (5) - Kenny 5 - 15th (+3)
14. Aston Villa - (5) - Given 4 Guzan 1 - 4th (+10)
15. West Brom - (4) - Foster 4 - 8th (+7)
16. Wigan - (3) - Al-Habsi 3 - 6th (+10)
17. Bolton - (3) - Jaaskelainen 2 Bogdan 1 - 20th (-3)
=. Wolves - (3) - Hennessey 2 De Vries 1 - 17th (0)
19. Norwich - (1) - Ruddy 1 - 18th (+1)
20. Blackburn - (0) - Robinson 0 - 16th (+4)

So it appears Villa's and Wigan's managers have performed best thus far in comparision to the number of cleansheets gained (+10 places)
Arsenal's manager has performed the worst (-14)

It is quite a pain having hopped on to Lindthang a while back - at least he is less cash getting 0 points

Back on top I see blahblah ...

There must be a scarcity of Bales here?

Only 2 of my 4-player bloc played, but that is about par for the season

I did vdV out for MacClean, so one less transfer and a shed load of cash.............

All transfers (as you can tell) smell of desperation. (13 transfers left, please don't tell the sheep)

Had to get RVP and only sensible way was for Aguero. Risky I know but I have to have RVP.

Much prefer Chuck's way of calculating the league table

Murfs Geordie Mob (3rd) v Rb's Block Party Xi (4th)

RB's Block Party XI

Collins
Dunne
Warnock

Mata
Dempsey
Silva Ba
Bale
Van Der Vaart

Van Persie
Aguero

Total Cost £49.7m
Transfers Remaining 14

It's fair to say that I've pretty much given (no pun intended) up on this team's defence so I'm not going to bother replacing the injured Collins and will just use this team's remaining transfers on rotating it's midfielders & strikers.

With that in mind, I've decided to take advantage of the 2 for 0 between Newcastle & Manchester City so in comes Ba for Silva...

This is starting to go well

Up to 2nd in Division 4

Stockdale Schwartzer
Milner Chamberline
Reason to keep mid table mediocrity and forgot about stockdale not playing

Done lots of transfers in this team to little effect

Got 17 left though

Geordie back 5
Silva
Bale
Sessegnon
Ba
Aguerro
Ade (in today for RVP 3 for 0)

Silva out for Saha
RVp for Rooney
Sinclair for Sigurddson
16 left.

I've gone to 4-4-2. Distin back in.

Thanks Moyesy for dropping Heitinga

Transfers left = 16.

Come on Everton - tights as a gnats chuffty at the back, please

Top 5 still on the cards for the Wigan block!
