+1 Drog seems the obvious choice his first champs league start this campaign should be chomping at the bit and at home against weaker opposition.

subbed bale again in my best team

will i ever learn?

Obviously i won't learn.

7.30pm cut off?????? Not first kick off???????

Ridiculous but i should read the deadlines more closely.

Two teams in the top 130 with over 20 transfers left. Theres my chances gone now. I've got about 5 players in each playing with the wrong captains.

Worst thing is i made transfers in my worst two teams

gotta love matchday 6 in the CL, my captains consist of Bastos and Messi over my teams, both on the bench, I like you should have paid a little more attention, eff it

Sensible, consistent rules would help though.

Its first kick off when theres a 5.30 game. Would make sense that it was the same all the way through.

I would be surprised if Drogba played, with Chelsea already group winners.

You never know though, Ive been surprised a few times this round already . Hope he does could do with the Sun points.

Rick, message to self, check the date of the post before quoting

if anyone wants a team in a mini give me a pm, until tonight i had 1 in 78th not sure where it will be after tomorrow, but messed it up the other night using a few transfers (i was bored during the lunch break in the cricket) instead of waiting till team news today, though with this game if i never used a few at the moment id of still had over 20.

Yes that makes more sense.

I see Drogba starts against his old team. Maybe he was the one to star this week after all .

I see that the Pustkowski family have 11 teams in the top 53.

I would be most intersted in the METRO conducting a mid term interview with Naomi Pustkowski, so she can share her extensive knowlege of European Club football to show us lessor mortals how to climb to the top of the Leadership listing.

7pm transfer cutoff!?

I made some transfers just before 7.30 and my team is showing without these players (e.g. Milito) but some transfers I made some after 7.00 have gone through, hence I'd say they cut off slightly early or my watch and computer are slower than I think.

I could never understand the rules about this on their website but assumed that the cut off was 7.30 (provided no early kick offs) as stated by others. A clear 15 minutes before teh advertised first kick off time would be a whole lot clearer.

Your watch and PC must've been slow.
'Round 1: 7:30pm Tue 14/09/10 Round 7: 7pm Tue 15/02/11
Round 2: 5:30pm Tue 28/09/10 Round 8: 7pm Tue 08/03/11

Then again they probably waited a couple of minutes after 7pm and then pressed the transfer cutoff button.
