[Mystery]

I'm in.

[thebillfella]

I'm flying Saturday morning so can I ask that all finalise their entries and make their teams public so I (or possibly one other on Saturday morning) can check compliance prior to first kick off?

Looks like 17 in with 3 to go; of the 17 it looks like only Maldini needs to make his team public.

[Mintman]

Mints Burnley Bums are in!!

[wizardoffire]

been super busy the last week or so
Will have my team in by the end of tomorrow

[thebillfella]

Just about to get on a long haul flight - can somebody do a quick sweep of the teams to spot any last minute blips?

[Maldini]

I'll have a quick skim through at midday but we still seem to be a team light?

Manchester City - Hayesag


Didn't enter his egg cup team either so doesn't look good.

Will PM him.

[Maldini]

Just checked through and all teams have valid defences.

And Hayesag has reported for duty.

Good luck!

Back in the land of the living so here's the first update:

GW3 update

Happy to say my Utd block has got off to a good start along with Maldini's Everton block, Mintman's Burnley block and Alchemist's West Brom block (14th and 15th draft) teams sitting at the top of the table.

At the bottom sit's Wizardoffire's Watford block, Mystery's (2nd draft ) Palace block, Workie-Ticket's West Ham block and The Dude Abides' Liverpool block teams.

First draft nffc's Spurs' block currently sits in 5th place while last draft Topspurs' Hull block currently sits in 10th.

All teams are currently valid.

[workie-ticket]

Blimey, west ham's defence looks terrible! Doesn't help that personnel keeps chopping and changing... Maybe they'll bring back fat Sam to sort it out...!

[thebillfella]

GW6 update

Reality bites with my Utd block and Maldini's Everton block after bad weeks, monopolised upon by Mintman's Burnley block who races ahead with Zipnolan's Bournemouth block and nffc's Spurs block making good ground.

As Workie has already testified, his West Ham block is having a mare with Wizardoffire's Watford block and The Dude Abides' Liverpool block not fairing much better. Not many would have had Ashers' Arsenal block and Spinynorman's Chelsea block in their current precarious positions of 15th and 16th places.

Mystery will be please to see his Palace block recover after a poor start while Topspur will be satisfied that his last draft Hull block has moved up to 7th.

GW9 update

While my Utd block spirals into freefall, Mintman's Burnley block stretches his lead with Zipnolan's Bournemouth block and nffc's Spurs block in hot pursuit opening up a small gap to 4th placed Maldini's Everton block.

At the other end, Wizardoffire's Watford block drops to the foot of the table with Workie's West Ham block and The Dude Abides' Liverpool block still occupying the other relegation spots.

After an unexpected start to the season, Topspur's last draft Hull block is starting to drop down the table alongside the more unexpected Ashers' Arsenal block, while Spinynorman's Chelsea block start to recover after a poor start along with Jag's Stoke block who makes large gains in the last month as Stoke recover from a shocking start to the season.

[Mystery]

Not sure how much good it's doing him but WOF has a Baggie in his defence (Nyom)

[thebillfella]

Thanks Mystery, well spotted.

Reference to rule 4. Penalty's for Illegal players:

A. A player transfers in real life from Your adopted block to another block in the premiership: penalty = points scored by player whilst still in your team plus effective ten man team.

Currently Wizard, Nyom has scored 7 points for you so a 7 point deduction. Please can you make a transfer to a different Watford defender as soon as possible please?

[Alchemist]

Bloody Hell - A Baggie defender scores points, and I don't have him.......... FFS!!!!!

[thebillfella]

GW15 update

Mintman's Burnley block stays top with Zipnolan's Bournemouth block 2nd, while a relentless set of clean sheets sees Spinynorman's Chelsea block make the biggest move of the month climbing up to third and Robot's Middlesbrough block also making moves.

My Utd block has plummeted and nffc's Spurs block hasn't done much better after both had good starts to the season. Hayesag's City block, Ashers' Arsenal block, and Neath Boy's Leicester block all languish just above the relegation zone indicating there are no guarantees for the big boys in this format of the game.

At the other end, Wizardoffire's Watford still sits at the foot of the table plus to add insult to injury he still has an illegal player (Nyom) at the back who has scored 23 points for his team so these points need deducting (and will continue to do so Wizard until you replace him with a Watford defender). Workie's West Ham block and The Dude Abides' Liverpool block continue to occupy the other relegation spots.

Surely this rule should be modified such that the points penalized for having selected this ineligible player should be awarded to the team that is inconvenienced by not being able to pick him for their block?

There's nothing to stop the "right" team having him though?

[thebillfella]

I think Alchemist may just be rueing the fact that he doesn't have one of his own better scoring defenders in his team!
