I'm out too but am not really in it....

[Latic]

No Harry Kane in my team. I am amazed to still be in contention tbh.

[Latic]

I think you should chisel the 16 off that medal Murf.

[morganb]

I'm out of transfers and will declare my players for the final if the others are out of transfers too.......

I've not got Kane either and am stunned to be top still.

Being a tortoise, I'm not out of transfers so please don't post your team yet. Wait until after kick off on Saturday!

[Latic]

So. I am in 2nd. 6pts behind MorganB. 3 pts ahead of TBF.

I have Holding, Sanchez, Hazard, Fabregas, Costa.

I had a few transfers left so have a team featuring:

Cahill, Holding, Alonso, Hazard, Pedro, Sanchez, Ox, Costa, Welbeck

[Spinynorman]

Costa, Pedro, Sanchez, Hazard, Alonso, Cahill and Courtois reporting here.

Got Gibbs as well and for some unknown reason thought he was playing.

[Latic]

Looks like I need a few yellow cards and a brace from Fabregas off the bench then

Here he comes

[morganb]

Scores are up

[Latic]

Congrats. Wow TBF was close!

[murf]

Congratulations morganb. PM me you address if you want your medal once it has been chiselled.

We did drop out of the top 100 superleagues last week but shot up to 86th today.

[morganb]

Congrats. Wow TBF was close!

Just noticed that! He wasn't playing 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours'

[thebillfella]

To be honest I didn't think to check in to do that! Congrats morganb.

[morganb]

To be honest I didn't think to check in to do that! Congrats morganb.

I only noticed by accident! I think I was lulled into a false sense of security...

[Spinynorman]

Well done Mr B.

Sheepy, are we doing a 2018 league?

[murf]

Sheepy, are we doing a 2018 league?

Yes, definitely. Same rules as last year I guess (assuming no change in superleague deadline??) and I'll put a team together nearer the time but player suggestions always welcome. Mainly solid blokes who aren'y made of biscuits and should play every week through the season.

morganb - as champion do you want the honour of selecting the team???

Everyone keen - save a team for this one! Stick it in by the deadline then just forget it for four and a half months before looking at it again during the dull bits of the Hootenanny.

Wow! That is an honour... Thanks. Will have a play around and see what I can come up with over the weekend.

[murf]

Honour? Nah, just saving me the hassle

[morganb]

That didn't take long... Used last year's team as a template:

442 like last season

GK
de Gea, David MUN £3.9m - Solid GK in a team with a decent defence

DEF
Trippier, Kieran TOT £3.8m - First choice RB now Walker has gone
McAuley, Gareth WBA £3.2m - Pulis knows how to keep clean sheets
Ward, Stephen BUR £2.3m - a defensive enabler. This year's Cook?
Alonso, Marcos CHE £4.3m - Class defender. Good points scorer last season

MID
Eriksen, Christian TOT £5.5m - A bit cheaper than Alli but similar points scored last season
Mane, Sadio LIV £5.2m - Should be fit and back to his best by the New Year
Pedro CHE £4.9m - Midfielder playing for the reigning Champions
Ritchie, Matt NEW £3.2m - midfielder enabler for a promoted team but with Prem experience

FWD
Kane, Harry TOT £7.0m - slow starter but should have warmed up by Christmas and settled into Wembley
Lukaku, Romelu MUN £6.6m - Has always scored goals and now in a better team

Total Value £49.9m

[murf]

Not studied the player lists but that looks a better team than I would have expected to be able to pick.

Think I read Burnley have nought someone in Ward's position and will Spurs replace Walker and rotate Trippier???

Still ages to settle this team.

[murf]

PS If I get time this weekend I'll start a new thread and copy these bits across.

Actually the team is a bit too Spurs-y (3) with no Man City or Arsenal 'coverage' and McAuley could become Dawson to save a few £s

[Spinynorman]

Although I can't remember where or even if when I did it was reliable but I think someone some where said that Eriksen might be an injury doubt for the first couple of games.

Edit: Just checked again and I think I'm talking rubbish.

2018 league is go! (ish):
