      Redkenny's got about 15 strikers in his team.

      And probably about three goals between them all season - excluding Kuyt of course...

      I think I've probably got the best collection of forwards but can't bear to be needing Fat Head and Andriy to bag any goals.

      And as for Venison's team...

      It's a fix. Reckon you know someone who works on that paper sunshine. (Mind you not too many strikers)

      (6 places left - not sure if people can still join - but if you want to the password for our league is 'copper20')

      Ah great one!

      Got joint top in pts for club in defence with CF Kopstars, 13.5. Funnily enough joint second bottom of pts for club in attack with CF Kopstars too!

      Point system is not transparent so will make a good talking point this season. My next football blog post will tie up the first weekends games with my Fantasy Football thoughts on the scoring system etc.

      My released players have taken effect too!!

      Anyone else release/add players from the out of contract pool?

      Yup... loads :)

      In
      Paul McShane - Sunderland
      Vedran Corluka - Man C
      Stephen Ireland - Man C
      Martin Petrov - Man C
      Geovanni - Man C

      Out
      Owen Hargearves - Man U (Good riddance!)
      Ledley King - Tot (Injured - and not keen on him)
      Lucas Neil - West Ham (Injured, and not from the best defence in the league ;) )
      Darius Vassell - Man C (Like he's ever going to play!)
      Gilberto Silve - Arsenal (See above)

      When I can find someone decent to swap Nani for, then he'll be going too.

      Bottom of the league! Bottom of the league!!  :giveup:

      Just tried tinkering a bit - Dirk Kuyt right midfield??????? Wouldn't let me do it. Looks like this Play The Game is going to take up more time than I anticipated. Don't think i can be arsed. I'll have a good luck through the week though.

      I feel cheated. My team is made up of Mancs and Blue scum. I've got a lot of red as well though, if although it's all of the wrong kind!

      Can we still sign up for the premierleague.com league?

      I'm pretty sure you can sign up anytime, you just forfeit the points already scored.

      I have emailed the Times FF customer support as I believe we are missing a player from the Man City ranks...he scored last night ;)

      EDIT: after a few emails back & forth the missing player is in the game ;D

      Can't seem to see transfer listed to vote on...I take it Eddie wasn't interested?! ;)

      Elano for Man City seems to missing from game & have emailed the Times about it...I am getting a little fed up with the player omissions from this game already >:(

      I take it no-one's really bothering with this anymore?

      It seemed like a good idea, but ultimately I got a sh*t team so couldn't be arsed.
