I'm a bit surprised that Watford are last - they had the best defence in the Championship last year and they are cheap as chips!

The key word there being 'championship' more surprising i think is you picking Brighton as 4th picker

Zip must have picked one BHA and Nolan researched Watford?

Only 6 teams in the Prem conceded less than Brighton last season (each of the 'big 6')

[zipnolan]

I like to have fun with a cheap defence, and I'm told Brighton are better than we might think (very low xGA last season apparently - if I knew what that meant I'd be dangerous). As a Palace supporter living in Brighton, though, I may have have been fed some very dodgy scouting reports.

[topspur]

Went for Villa much to Hayesag's obvious annoyance but would have backed the Seagulls given the chance

how do you figure im annoyed by this At no point did aston villa enter my thoughts for a block defence. Bizarre statement to make but if you think im annoyed by your choosing of villa please do carry on

that was then. this is now. good luck

[Art Vandelay]

Oh. I was hoping I'd be left with Brenford, but Watford it is then. They would have been my last choice, mostly because I haven't got a clue what their back four is. Or even if it is a four.....

Only 16 teams in - haven't checked who the 4 slowcoaches are.

REMINDERS
- All teams MUST be in the league by 8pm Friday (no waiting on your team news - that is cheating and will be punished)
- All teams must be legal (no ringers in goal/defence - you can have 3, 4 or 5 of your own defenders (dependent on formation) but nobody else back there under any circumstances)
- All teams must be 'PUBLIC'

[Spinynorman]

Yikes!

I thought I was already in.

[Art Vandelay]

It wouldn't let me join any leagues for the last few days, just kept getting an error message, but I'm in now. So that's 18 in, 2 to go...........

[Geoffv]

Better late than never. Last in - full 20 are up

[murf]

Brilliant.

Shall we have a sweepstake on whose team isn't legal and public when they start to show in the league after 8pm?

[robot]

Murf - are you saying brentford/ arsenal blocks can't change the line up before 8pm, how will you know?

[murf]

They can, of course - a benefit in picking them I guess. Just as we can all tweak our attacking Arsenal and Brentford players. All 0 of them?

[raoul]

Well mine is Public, and I have gone for Wolves defenders who I have read have a good chance of starting after strong preseasons.

At what point does the "ringer" analysis occur? If one of my lot never seems to play, am I required to change them asap?

You can do what you, when you want - with the one simple rule - your goalie and ALL your defenders must come from your chosen team at all times (eg if you have Wolves you can't get a TAA for points or a Brentford defender as an enabler, just Wolves, Wolves, Wolves).

[blahblah]

Apparently Meslier, TAA, VvD and Shaw are strongly linked with moves to Newcastle, can I prempt their moves and start them?

[murf]

No, you are stuck with a 3rd choice keeper or an injured one or the one in hospital with covid

So I am OK with the Defenders

[blahblah]

Amateurs

If I can get it right, then you 4 must be useless

I thought I'd checked this originally. The web site is nothing like clear enough. I would say the icon on the right says "Here is the bit where you set your team to Private" and I'd say this is in the Off position.

[thebillfella]

Sorry only just seen this. Team now public.

[murf]

Topspur
Si Brown
Still need to make teams Public

In the table Robot's Brentford block got a whopping 42 to lead the way
Sportsmeister's Arsenal block are only in 3rd on 3
I wasted 2 front line spots on 2 pointers to sit 2nd in the table.

I had a quick glance at the 18 public teams and they all seem legal.

[Spinynorman]

Nice to start off with a Chelsea clean sheet.

Shame only 3 of my 5 picks started.

[S_sutton87]

Was looking so good for my burnley block at one point
