Cheers Paul, appreciate it and top to see you on here again. Would be fab if it's more than a cameo appearance
We're still waiting for it to happen, due date was yesterday so can't be far away and enjoying a bit of calm before the storm at the mo! Gone for a surprise contrary to last time, so no idea what we're having which we're really excited about.
Been playing a very straight bat over the festive period in case I get called away, but has it's advantages as 4 starred Rooneys tonight meant all my sides got in 30's and 40's. Will need some luck at the weekend, should be ok to find someone in the main flange but the other 3 standalones involving the big 4 may be a bit sparce! Finally got a side in top 100 before the year's out with my ISO side in 63rd this morning, a couple of others just outside with a lot more subs left which are probably better bets. Definitely encouraged by how much they've gained over the last few weeks though and seem to be catching teams which looked miles ahead only recently.
Gutted about the Glenn Johnson news as he features in all my teams, now gotta decide what (if anything) to do with him. The full backs are hardly racking up the points and if he's only out a couple of months tempted to just leave him be
Happy new year everyone
of 2009 I scored: Lowest 26 pts, average 36 pts and highest 44 pts.

Back in 1700th with that mob, so not too perplexed. Should of just named them Worms Experiment in hindsight

Insua swap Worm to free up some cash, a bit risky but he seems to be holding down his place and I'll probably do in a couple of sides where I could do with the money. Can't argue with a regular top (cough) 4 full back for £3.0m can you. Where subs are a bit thinner just weighing up if it's worth it come the end of the season, very rarely star a full back and been trying to save my subs for tinkering strikers especially with the FA Cup coming up. All depends what news comes out about Johnson as their fixtures this month are decent but Feb's are a bit rubbish anyway. If he's expected back by say the end of Feb then he'd still have 11 or so games left and only 2 of which are against the current top 8, Johnson could still score big come the end of the season compared with most replacements. 
Also did not realise that Valencia was only awarded 1 assist so I went from 53 to 43 for the night. Dissapointing, but we live to fight another day. (Glad it wasn't my ISO team)
