This needs a big rethink because there's no other name you can insert for Henry.

Ronaldo - IF he remains as a midfielder for 6 million, or less.

Is Ronaldo ready for a commandment...? He's had one blinding season. Henry consistently did the business year after year so I'm not too sure.

Having said that, if I had to pick an individual it would currently be him...

How many good seasons did Henry have before the Commandments were done and so made him an obvious pick? I can't remember.

Laugh all you like (especially Dot) but surely Lampard would have to be considered.
The Ref's love him, the Sun reporters love him, Scores goals & get's plenty of clean sheets (great for those games that reward midfielders with clean sheets).
Personally I think he is over rated, but his record speaks for itself.
Hard not to pick him, especially if playing The Sun's Dream Team.
He also takes penalties, & the way Drogba,Robben & Joe Cole dive there is always going to be a few easy goals from the spot.
In The Sun he scored 61 more than Ronaldo & 133 more than Gerard.
With Ronaldo a dead set cert to be valued the same as Lampard next season, Lampard has got to be the 1st player picked.

I don't think you can just replace Thierry Henry with another name as no other player has proven himself to be a must pick yet. Ronaldo might, Rooney might but they would have to consistently do the business.

Perhaps a totally new commandment needs to be created?

Commandment 8 is in fact two entirely unrelated comandments:

8. Thou shalt have no other forums but FISO (and thou shalt not enter thy team earlier than reasonably required).

One of these - say the FISO one - should become Commandment 4, and it's job done.

FS Record: A few grand over the years,
In a thread that has disappeared off the radar, Flyman and I concluded that No 4 could be replaced by something like:

'Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon'

with a possible extra clause such as:

'Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon, once it is manifest'

Or 'Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon, however late ye be'

Or 'Thou shalt board the One True Bandwagon, and abhor shiny imitations'

http://fantasyfootballuk.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=25420

Any thoughts on this, or how to improve the wording?

Exactly, I'd been meaning to point this out as well.

When we designed the Commandments, Commandment 8 was "Thou shalt have no other forums but FISO". Number One, in his humility, and when publishing the list amended No 8 to "Thou shalt not enter thy team earlier than reasonably required". Hence the inclusion of both.

Shrews wrote:

This is how the Henry Commandment was designed, it was a time when Henry had just overtaken Shearer as the player you had to have. In my opinion, that may now be Rooney, but Shrews point covers it better. (IMHO).

Just come across this thread; very good.

This would be my candidate if ever there was a free slot:

Thou shalt beware the false Gods Wenger/Benitez/Ferguson and their sin of Rotation

2, flexability = K Jones not ott in teams, but everyone he is in too tight on budget to improve, and the games i can take him out only Newcastle strikers can replace him :oops: :evil:

though im very good at rule 10 :mrgreen:

5. Thou shalt not worship 'Carlos Kickaball' until he has proven himself in the EPL.
6. Thou shalt remember that Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent.
7. Thou shalt covet thy transfers and shalt not Tinker; Fantasy Football is a Marathon, not a Sprint!
8. Thou shalt not let thy heart rule thy head, nor make any judgements after drinking!
