Neath boy - your team is set to PRIVATE.

[Neath boy]

Is it? No idea how that is . I will change it now

[happyhoppy]

[Mystery]

RVP to Aguero for me. Was one of Aguero, Rooney or Giroud. Picked wrong based on today alone but time will tell.

[Neath boy]

This team is having a 'mare this season. Dropped Rooney back to Kane last Sunday. He misses penalty (ok scores rebound). Rooney then gets 2 yesterday. I fear the drop. Other teams are doing ok but every decision in this one goes wrong!

[happyhoppy]

Yeah I dumped Rooney just about everywhere only keeping him where I had no spare cash to "upgrade". Annoying.

Gone Fabregas Cazorla for the 4-1. Trying to do everything on my iPad, which isn't ideal, so will do fuller picture when home and on laptop.

Reasons for Transfers: Even though they came in for the cup, even though Rooney scored twice, even though sitting tight with the cup next weekend makes sense out go Rooney and Dear Maria and in comes Aguero and Silva.

I've taken the inadvertent "1" from in front of the "9".

[happyhoppy]

[happyhoppy]

Looking at the top 2 teams The Saint has this in the bag, not much I can do with just 6 transfers other than tread water and hope Silva keeps me in it and I can differentiate late on.

Week 30

Temporarily at the top by a solitary point. Looks to be The Saint's to lose with transfers in hand and a fair gap now to 3rd. The relegation battle is hotting up with only 68 points covering 3rd to 10th and Jester hanging in there a further 34 back.

Aguero>Costa

I don't know why I persevere with Sergio. I've long thought he's both injury prone and streaky, yet still I can't help shoving him into my teams from time to time, because there is always just THAT chance he'll score three or four. Costa similar but not as injury prone...

Reasons for Transfers :-
Finally bought in the VFM Kane sacrificing the underperforming Sanchez. Was going to use the cash for Downing to Silva but as City were awful yesterday and Spurs have a bonus game (albeit v United) and some good ones coming up I jumped on Eriksen instead, sacrificing the rubbish PVA after they shipped 4 yesterday (which couldn't quite afford me Silva).
