Ahem...
RVP has not been on my team all season. He has been a Fightin' Shroom the last 4 years. When he left the Arsenal on my birthday this year, he left my Shrooms as well.
I currently sit in 5th place in the League. Looks as though the majority of the top 10 teams have RVP.
I'm just sayin' (bragging).
Don't worry, didn't had him until 2-3 GW ago, and frankly, am not so sure if it was a move worth all the effort (and point deductions). I did better without him before. 13.5 or whatever he's worth now, I generally prefer a more balanced team instead (not saying I'm a bad manager here, though - competitors do notice every slight hint of weakness here at MR, although they all appear pretty neat and tidy....).
Pretty sure my Bale transaction will result in a hefty bag of hurt though.
