8 Benteke > Giroud - short term injury

Reason for Transfer(s)

Extra games

[The Woolster]

I just went to check the update, and went into my team, and it seems I bought in Lukaku instead of Giroud.

Apologies for the misinformation, especially as my team is private, I was out with the kids and I was bringing in Lukaku to some other teams, and must have got distracted.

Its worked out ok for now, but Giroud was meant to have been brought in for their next 2.

Week 34



So the Egg panel are meeting this morning to decide whether our new leader should be expelled or docked points for the unforgiveable crime of mis reporting a successful transfer. The race for the title looks a 2 horse race but as it has been this week for me across my teams it only takes one bad week for things to change dramatically.

The relegation battle continues to be tight with Des still looking doomed and BFM starting to drift, the last place is separated by 17 points across 4 teams.

I must be doing well - I'm not even mentioned in dispatches re relegation now

Murf = Saints. Mid table obscuity.

[murf]

I'd gladly have taken that a month or two back. I'm really more of a Stoke or West Ham though having had to claw my way up there after a bad start rather than just being steady and boring.

Lucky more like, didn't even know what he looked like, let alone that he had never scored for 5 years!

Reason for Transfer(s): Yaya and Sturridge have annoying fiddly injuries and time is running out. Gambling on a fit again, but dodgily coiffeured, Aguero and going for a Citeh semi-block to take advantage of their bonus home games (McAuley is a sacrifice/rubbish, keeping faith in the Southampton deckchair dwellers for some reason, got to gamble to climb)
