@Dixie: Stekelemburg?! He's an atrocious goalkeeper, very insecure and don't stop (catch?) a single shot...
here in Italy has made a bad bad impression...don't you have better goalkeepers in England? C'mon! [;)]

Cohimbra - you know about football - I trust you will join?
I'm tempted, unfortunately I don't know the players of the Premier League...
I also know the minimum on the Serie A, I only follow my team that last year was in
Serie B and...oh, my god! now we're in Serie A and the 25th August we play against
Roma! (I think that we'll lose 0-14 or something like that...).

Near the top?

I'm a Burnley fan remember!

Cheers for the welcome, and I hope my midfield do the job for me this season

Look out for Jay Rodriguez (ex Burnley player, now at Southampton) this season as he is quality

Don't worry about a lack of knowledge, most of us don't follow teams in the English premier league. I'm happy to provide advice and Warspite has been as well. We might not be right, but we'll try! [:)]

If there's enough interest then we can probably set up similar games for the European competitions and upcoming World Cup, if the lack of knowledge about the English league is putting people off.
I chose the English league as I've already got a team set up in this game and it was free. If there are other free games based on other nations I'll happily give them a go as well.

I have been pretty disappointed lately with my team Liverpool FC. [:D]

Well, Mignolet aside, you've got to be happy with that first half. Liverpool look unrecognisable - very fluid with Coutinho, Sturridge and Aspas.

I've just looked at my team on the website and I have a point already!!

1 point marked against Lucas - who is one of my subs???? I think I need to read the rules!

Great start to the Premier League - only 1-0 but a very good game. Mignolet more than made up for his dodgy start with a double-save from a penalty.

Well that was a good start for anyone with Liverpool defenders in their team. 6 points for Johnson already, but any who picked Mignolet gets a big 12 points, a clean sheet, five saves and a penalty save means he's a good candidate for some bonus points as well...

Oh my, i have decided to take Mignolet 2 days ago to the detriment of Szczesny. [:D]
Aye Caramba !

The fact he can't even get into the West Ham starting XI says it all really.

That was my final line-up ; With no 12M Bale, i had plenty of possibilities, maybe too much

Doubling up on Liverpool defenders was a good move - although I think you may lose some for Agger giving away the penalty*.

Snodgrass apparently is not even in the Norwich squad today - may be that is why I got a point for Lucas (one of my subs).

* EDIT - not so.

Too bad Riise and Snodgrass weren't playing today. Every teams seems to study each other right now; no one would appreciate an 4-0 at the block.
