Am i doing something wrong[&:]

Are you copying and pasting?

iirc that's what I did and couldn't get through. When I put in manually it worked.

[Dixie]

I'm tempted to put Loic Remy into my team. Can he compete for a full season though? Six months does not a striker make, for further reference I present exhibit A: Amr Zaki.


There's also the chance that Remt will be turning out for HMP Belmarsh F.C. instead.


What I'm hoping for is that Dimi Berbatov has a stormer and that Adel Taarabt learns how to pass to other players (i.e. the rather good Bulgarian striker).

Come on guys, don't be shy! We've got five so far and none of us are football genius level [:D]

I am still not sure if I am going to join or not.

I am sure it is all for fun but if I sign up I am pretty sure that I am going to get annoyed about how the points gets awarded. Even though I know the system favours players who score goals and I can pick players accordingly. Even writing this gets me annoyed. Go figure. [:D]

[Dixie]

Do it Orm!

It is easier for attacking players to score points according to their goals etc, but defensive players often score big bonus points. So picking a good defender in an average team can often result in much bonus if they have a good game, even if they concede 2-3 goals.

[warspite1]

Okay we are up to 5 peeps

An Aussie, A Portuguese, A German and two Englishmen. If its anything like real football my bet for the win is anyone but the English [:D]

JeffK what's with the support for Cardiff - are your family originally from Wales or some other reason? How do you feel about the change of colours and badge?

[Admiral Stricker]

ok i'll check for the copy and paste

And we've been joined by a Liverpool supporting Canadian - Welcome aboard Admiral!

[Admiral Stricker]

Clearly it was the copy and paste[&o]

+1 Canadian Pea soup in the team [:'(]

[warspite1]

Come on chaps and chapesses - it would be good to get to double figures

[warspite1]

So red is the most successful colour in English football but no one has chosen a red strip - lots of greens and yellows on show though [X(]

[Orm]

When is the last date to sign up without losing any points?

I guess Friday?? The season starts the next day.

[VPaulus]

I'll have to sell Diarra...I've just read that he is troublesome and I bet he will spent a lot of time in the bench.
He was a good player, but some of these guys don't age well.

Thank you for clarifying.

I will make a effort to make a team then.

Mum's side is from Abergavenny, Dad's lot jumped ship to join the Gold Rush and started in Beith, Scotland 300 years back.

I really follow Liverpool but like to follow the newbies.

Its interesting how shortlived FA Teams are, Carfiff is only 110 years or so when compared to many of the Australian Rules teams are 150-160 yeards old.

Probably close for which discipline has the older team. Perhaps you may know. Sheffield FC is the worlds oldest Football Club - 1857. I didn't realise Aussie rules football went back so far! wow.

[JeffroK]

The Melbourne Football Club was founded in May 1859, and Australian rules codified in the next year, Association Football did not have a set of rules for another 10 years.

Just got rid of Sterling for the same reason.....

[Dixie]

We've got six teams signed up so far. The latest date for signing up without losing any potential points is (AFAIK) 1130 BST on Sat 17th August. That's the point at which your team is locked for the opening weekend games.
