cech

eboue
agger
terry out, r. ferdinand in

6. The leagues will be open so that everyone can see everyone else's teams.

7. Your team name must include your FISO name and the word eggcup.

9. The winner of each league wins a bespoke egg cup and a cash prize

Premiership £100
Division 1 £75

Arteta
Ballack J. Cole

Transfers Remaining: 0
Current Cost: £48.6m

Reason for Transfer(s):
Ballack out for the season.
Berb 3 for 1 over Adebayor

11. There will be a cup competition which runs automatically alongside the league competition. I will announce the weeks for the cup competition when all the leagues have been finalised. There may also be a Champions League and UEFA Cup competition.

12. Further details can be found on the egg cup admin thread.

13. Above all, enjoy yourselves, have a bit of banter and may the best man (or woman) win.

albionjulie has kindly agreed to be league chairman and she will set up the league in due course and send out the password to all of you.

Once she has done that, I would appreciate if you could all get your teams in as quickly as possible please.

You don't have to have made your changes at this stage.

I have just PM'd everyone listed in the post above with the league password. Please enter your team as soon as possible.

If anyone else is interested in entering, I think (subject to thelip's approval) that we have a few spare places down here in the Egg Cup basement. Let me know if you want to join in.

Otherwise let the fun begin!

OK, I'll get the ball rolling.

VDS
Ferdinand Melchiot
Vidic
Evra
Hutton
Gerrard
Cahill
Modric
Bullard
Torres
Camara Alves

Camara just had to go. He's not going to start and is therefore wasting an important position. I've also tried to free up some funds for future transfers by switching Ferdinand to Melchiot. I think Wigan will be good for some clean sheets this season and he's as cheap as chips.

Thanks for that Mad, could you please rename the thread to Division 5 though as it's very confusing.

thought i managed to rename it before someone spotted

Thanks to Madchester for restoring at least some of the previous thread. As most of our team changes seem to be missing though, here is a summary of them so we know where we were all up to:

TheCharltonFan:
Ferdinand Terry
Cahill Young

Adidasandahalf:
Ferdinand Cole
Cahill Young

MBoy:
Ferdinand Clichy
Cahill Young

The Drogs Ballacks:
Ferdinand Upson
Cahill Barry

Sportsmeister:
Ferdinand Eboue
Camara Bent

ChrisHarry12345:
Modric Ballack
Camara Sears

Albionjulie:
Evra Shorey
Camara Zamora

Rust:
Ferdinand Melchiot
Camara Alves

Knulpuk:
Ferdinand Jagielka
Camara Bent

Ianovich:
Ferdinand Clichy
Torres Van Persie

Here's the first table of the new season with TCF, Adidas and MBoy all leading the way with 33 points.

Pos Team Manager Points Overall
1 TCFS EGGCUPCAKES Mr Sam Robertson 33 73054
2 Adidas Eggcup Mr Glyn Petrie 33 74873
3 Mboy EggCup Mr Mark McKean 33 76803
4 The Drogs Egg Cup Mr Richard Stiles 31 86870
5 SPORTSM'TER EGGCUP Mr Chris Pike 30 96067

7 Eggcup Albion Mrs Julie Steele* 24 140341
8 Rusty egg cup Mr Justin Merritt 24 140557
9 HANSEN'S XI Mr Alan Hansen 23 144639
10 Knulpuk Eggcup Mr Julian Clements 23 147665
11 Ianovich Eggcup Mr Ian Brookings 22 156759

that's odd - this is all that was available to restore... i'll take another look and will report back if there's anything else.

I had the same issue with a couple of threads to restore Mad..

I think possibly most of what's missing was posted in the period between the database corruption (when one of the thread's first went funny) and when this, and other, threads disappeared completely so presumably we were posting into a black hole, it's just a shame that it was probably the busiest day this thread might be all season!

im just posting now so i get emails for when new posts are added incase i forget about this one

Who's going to be the first to hit the transfer button?

By all rights it should be me

Noone till the end of the month, but I'd guess when we can all of us with Camara still in will be getting rid sharpish?

Your not wrong..

Why can't the telegraph allow you to see what team changes you might wanna make,without allowing you to submit??

Its silly really but you can get round it by clicking select team in the office menu, then just pick the same players and voila

cheers,forgot about that..

I think I need to make some transfers

This is so difficult. I'm naturally in the "hug that tortoise" mode, but I could easily make 4/5/6 transfers, but so many them seem like tinkers, but are probably necessary I think I've just realised that I'm not going to do too well at this.

TCFS EGGCUPCAKES

VDS
Sagna

1: Ferdinand Sagna - Man U missing out on a game this week. Sagna time. 26/8/08
2: Hutton Bosingwa - Chelsea are on fire, spurs aren't. 26/8/08
3: Modric Deco - Couldn't stand Modric. 26/8/08
4: Camara Zaki - Camara is crap, Zaki isn't. 26/8/08

Early transfers for me.

You like doing loads of early transfers don't ya

Week 3 transfers
Van Der Sar
Evra
Jagielka
Vidic
Hutton Boswinga
Cahill Deco
Bullard
Gerrard Young
Modric
Torres
Bent

Ok I am still not overly joyed but I would rather stick forks in my eyes than stick with an injured spurs defender. Gerrard out as a knee jerk reaction but I am happy with Young and Cahill is injured too and Deco CK though he is appears to be a mustard cutter.

Gives me a bit of cash too.

27/30 left

Team Name: Adidas Eggcup

Van Der Sar

Vidic Sagna
Evra
A Cole
Hutton

Gerrard Lampard
A Young
Modric
Bullard

Torres
Camara Cisse

Transfers Remaining: 27
Current Cost: £50.0m

Vidic Sagna as a season long,and also needed the funds.
Gerrard Lampard,wanted Fat Frank and Gerrard is injured.
Camara Cisse as Camara is absolute pony,and hopfully The Dribble can score a few.

Van der Sar
Hutton Bosingwa
Ferdinand
Vidic
Shorey
Bullard
Gerrard
Modric
Cahill Deco
Torres
Zamora Zaki

Total: £49.9m
Transfers left: 27

Hutton and Cahill had to go with being injured, Bosingwa has looked good so far and seems like Deco will get a few points (though everyone else also seems to be picking him). Not decided on who I want up front yet, will probably change this around again yet in the next few weeks.

Rusty Eggcup

VDS
Bosingwa
Traore
Evra
Melchiot
Fab
Modric
Bullard
Ade
Torres
Alves

Team Value: 50.0
Transfers Remaining: 26

1: Vidic Traore , wanted to split up the United block and free up funds, feels a bit risky
2: Hutton Bosingwa, Spurs defender and injured, Bos playing well
and lots of clean sheets.
3: Cahill Fab, Cahill injured, Fab has nice games coming up.
4: Gerrard Ade , Gerrard injured and more easily facilitates a Ron move later
5:

Hope you don't mind, TCF, but I liked the look of your format and decided to use it for my transfers.

Van Der Sar
Evra
Ferdinand
Vidic
Hutton C Davies
Cahill A Young
Bullard
Gerrard Alves
Ballack Elano
Torres
Sears Zaki

Transfers Remaining: 25
Budget Remaining: 0.3m

I felt the need for drastic transfer burning changes.. Im a bit annoyed that out of the 5 transfers, two of the players im bringing out were the two i picked

VDS
Evra
Vidic
Upson
Hutton A Traore
Gerrard Fabregas
Modric
Barry
Bullard
Camara
Torres

Hutton had to go cos he's injured and a Spurs defender and Traore is a cheapy and playing left mid.

Gerrard injured so Fabregas seemed a good option.

Left Camara in for now, as thought he might get a bit of a run out against Hull, but Wigan are 4-0 up and he hasnt even come off the bench yet! Ohh now 5 Zaki, again
