That's what I get for picking up Torres rather than Adebayor, trying to keep from having all my eggs in one basket. Does Torres ever play?
Got a tip for us?

I had a so-so weekend, made my Transfer for this week already with the broken Agger going out, and the slightly less broken Carragher coming in.
38 Points from this week, with only 10 from Saturdays games I didn't do so bad.

Another terrible week for the Bristol Tigers, only 18 points! Oh dear oh dear. The main problems:
Torres didn't play a whole game and score
Lampard and Drogba are injured and I forgot to substitute them
Bugger, ah well next weeks fixtures look kind to me.

Don't get me started on Torres...I would have picked him originally but ran out of money...now I'm happy I didn't, because he spends all his time on the bench. Benitez, wtf are you thinking?
Kuyt is even more frustrating, since he IS playing but not scoring.

Another good week for me, again no thanks to my strikers...either Kuyt or Crouch must go and be replaced with someone who starts every week.
Yep, a respectable performance from my team too, and hopefully Barry will provide me with a few more points in tomorrow's fixture.
I'm just a bit alarmed at the minute by my defenders' recent tendencies to pick up nasty knocks Carragher, Agger and now Terry have all been taken out of action through injury in recent weeks, meaning that my transfers have been made out of necessity rather than for tactical reasons.
On the plus side, at least I don't have Drogba in my team.

I'm glad I got rid of him when I did. Of course, I picked up Torres.
Barry is playing for me tomorrow also, so there are still some points out there. Sitting on 33 right now, which would be my worst week so far. Guess I should have started some Portsmouth strikers.
Ah, the benefits of hindsight...I'm glad I got rid of him when I did. Of course, I picked up Torres.
Excellent week for me, 56 points. With two more games to play I had the best week of everyone. I won't get any points from those fixtures however, and now lost John Terry to a broken cheek.
Elano scoring helped, shame I picked Ashton over Santa Cruz though, quite annoyed about that.
I just hope no one had Reading defenders in, and thank god David James saved a penalty.

Hi guys, just searched the MR site on the off chance and I see we have a league.
My team is the blue nephews (its a cocktail I invented, its not great tbh) I seem to have arrived just in time to spoil gauchogolfer's manager of the month party.
What do I win? powerbook G5 I hope.

The eventual champion wins nothing more than the respect and admiration of his peers. You can't put a price on that.

worthless then? only joking, what could be better?
do I get a fraction of the respect and admiration of my peers for my September champion-ness?
15 points from Lescott was an unanticipated bonus. Up to a much more respectable 48 points with Barry yet to play.
Shouldn't you have to actually be in the league during the whole month in order to win it?
I want my G5!
Sure enough, I bring Wes Brown into my squad to cover my injured defenders and what happens? Apparently he's had to sit out training with some injury or other.
It seems whichever player I bring in is cursed to be stricken down with some malady. With this in mind, I'm going to do us all a favour and make a move for Robbie Savage.

You know, I just realized that the Portsmouth 7-4 Reading game set the record for highest-scoring premier league game ever...and wouldn't you know, but I had the one Pompey striker that was hurt and scored a grand total of zero goals.
So out goes Crouch and in comes Benjani this week. I'll dump Kanu next week and get another striker to round out my strikeforce.
I just hope Kuyt starts scoring goals.

You dont know how good you had it. Three pompey midfielders on the dream team this week, and I manage to pick the one who not only doesn't play, but also manages to get a yellow card for dissent. FROM THE BENCH! So he manages to get -1 point for the yellow and 0 appearance points making a grand total of -1.
You couldn't make it up.
Wow, that sucks!
An average week this this time. My patience for Dirk Kuyt has finally run out, and I swapped him for Robin Van Persie - and made money in the deal. Now I just need to get rid of Kanu...
EDIT: picked up a couple bonus points, making it a good week in the end. David James had a good day, which helped.

Not too bad a week for me, I think I'll have to wait and see if any of my players pick up any bonus points to help boost my tally further.
It looks like Healy's going to have to go though, seeing as how he's been neither use nor ornament since I signed him...

Thank the lord for Elano.
54 points from a week I didn't think I was going to do too well in. Dropped Anelka to the bench because I thought he was never going to score against Chelsea, and he didn't. Shame Ashton didn't either though.
Happy.
