[Mystery]

It's not clicking somehow in this league is it. Is it that the fixture opportunities haven't showed themselves yet? Or the form players not called Salah have gone a bit cold?

[murf]

Catching up (my catch ups of the league are as slow as my catch up of the leaders of the league and our league's catch up of everyone else)

Latic doing OK
2nd to 8th doing so-so
9th & 10th doing poorly
11th-14th just appalling chaps!

[Spinynorman]

This all seems to be a lot harder than last time.

[1albert]

Now I remember why I should not have returned to the Telegraph game!!!
Position 13 out of 14 is pretty dreadful. Well, that's got it out of my system for the foreseeable future.
Many congratulations to the top 12 managers (lol).

[robot]

Well done Latic, 13k from over 100k start is pretty good.

Not so well done Murf who seems to have forgotten the season has finished.

[Latic]

Cheers Robot, maybe Murf's distracted this week?

[tenpinterry]

Well done Latic

Another week and I (or Mystery) might have caught you

[Latic]

Defo. Was out/low on transfers before most at the top. I think I won as some the obvious late season transfers that we were all doing didn't pay off.

[Spinynorman]

Well done everyone. See you all next season.

[murf]

Sorry, been a bit rubbish this (half) season at both playing this league and updating it. My team just never seemed to catch a break or get rolling. Should have gone for a Liverpool block....

I'll put the final table up later.

Well played Latic - think I have the winning medal (assuming that was what my unopened parcels were this morning) so let me know your address for the carrier pigeon if you want it.

[Latic]

Cheers Murf. It's ok about the medal ta. I had two arrive in the post today if anyone wants a spare.

[Mystery]

Close finish in the end. Well played Latic and thank you for murf for setting it up

[morganb]

Assuming there will be a 2019 version?

[murf]

Assuming there will be a 2019 version?

Not sure yet. Haven't sorted my teams yet but am aiming on cutting down and not sure if this will make the cut.

Feel free to set one up yourself and I may join.

Feel free to set one up yourself and I may join.

Think I will have to pass on running this one as I've at least half a dozen other comps that I look after (including resurrecting Sharp Shooters) plus chit chat so perhaps someone else could look after this one? Sorry, I'd hate to see an enjoyable league fall by the way side but you have to draw the line somewhere!

[robot]

Does it really need a proper organiser, just an agreement on the team and the league set up?
Perhaps someone to keep the chit chat going new year.
Haven't looked at players yet,so first time attempt here's a starter disect this.

Dubravka

Trippier
Douglas
Valencia

Sanchez
Sane
Salah
Jota
Maddison

Kane
Aubamiyang

[Latic]

The starting XI is fairly irrelevant really. I'll be in, and I'll go for whatever starting XI-wise.

[tenpinterry]

ditto

[robot]

Agree its not that relevant but nice to start the year in a reasonable position and climb as high as possible.
Perhaps chance our luck with a block or semi block from the big teams?

[murf]

Best not to have risky players. Want to keep as many transfers as possible for sprinting rather than replacing the long forgotten.

[morganb]

The following is a hybrid between robot's suggested team and the current most popular picks (4-4-2). It lacks any Utd coverage though and has a couple of Wolves enablers:

3.7 Alisson

3.7 Trippier
3 Ward (Burnley)
2.7 Douglas
4.3 Alonso

6 Salah
4.9 Sane
4.7 Mkhitaryan
3.2 Jota

7 Kane
6.6 Aubameyang
49.8

[Spinynorman]

I think that team is well on the way.

[morganb]

Looks like we would need a replacement for Douglas who is off to Leeds (apparently) Think Schlupp is 2.9 and has played OOP in pre season

[morganb]

So, is this running this season? If so, what's the feeling for the team I've posted and do you want me to set up a league for this? Just trying to work out how many teams I need for this season...

[Spinynorman]

A hybrid Morgan and Mystery team would good for me. Lots of folks posting on here are already running loads of stuff so I can always set a league up and monitor/update if no one else is.

Douglas needs to go.

Give Murf a day or two I'd say.

[Spinynorman]

Fair enough.

[murf]

Happy to run with any team you lot collude on.. and to let anyone else set up.

Can set it up Weds or Thurs if not.

[Latic]

I'm happy to set it up if you're busy, don't want to piss on yer chips though.

[morganb]

So, are we happy with this template team? - Douglas gone, Schlupp in. No spare budget. Some players might be missing for the first week or two but we're in it for the long game...

3.7 Alisson

3.7 Trippier
3 Ward (Burnley)
2.9 Schlupp
4.3 Alonso

6 Salah
4.9 Sane
4.7 Mkhitaryan
3.2 Jota

7 Kane
6.6 Aubameyang
50.0

If so, who is going to set up the league?

If not, who should be changed?
