Awesome. Kinda a shame that the transfer window is still open while the competition will soon be starting though.

Also too bad Huntelaar hasn't moved to th Premier League, but went to the sucky Italian League (AC Milan) instead...

Lets set up a BnB League

[Blaizeyboy]

So are we setting up a league for this season?

[grim_tales]

I thought we were, no one has yet.

All 7 active memebers, half of which hate football

[Yi-Long]

Yi's Sexy Lemmons are also back. Gawd it's such a major pain to form a team.

Anyway:

-Gomes (GK)

Defenders:
- Vermaelen (Ars)
- Alex (Che)
- Johnson (Liv)
- Evra (Man Utd)

Midfield:
- Kuyt (Liv)
- Arshavin (Ars) (c)
- Park (Man Utd)

Forwards:
- Cole (WHU)
- Tevez (MC)
- Eduardo (Ars)

Subs: Boateng, de Jong, Zayatte.


Not REALLY happy with my team, cause taking a gamble with some players.

Really would have liked Kalou in there, as I think he's one of the best players in the Premier League, but most managers seem to disagree with me cause he's often benched.
Really hope Arshavin will play alot more than last season, cause he's a great player.
Have to wait and see what Tevez will do for City. Eduardo is a gamble as well, as is Cole...


Subs: Boateng, de Jong, Zayatte.

Your team is more balanced than mine - I may wait see how Vermalen does, cos no one knows him, if Hangeland goes to Arsenal I'll have to sell him, I have Alex and Torres too, once I got Torres, Arshavin, Fabregas I didnt have much left
Has anyone set up a BnB league?

[grim_tales]

Hey,
I created a Private League (BnB League 2009 or something), I thought that was the right sort of league but now theres no code for the rest of you to join it

Vermaelen is OK, but I think Wenger will play him alot. He played for Ajax so it's a bit hard to judge him, cause Ajax defense wasn't that great, but he was pretty decent.

Alex, for me, is one of the greatest center-backs in the world today, but occasionally managers think he's 'slow' (he's not) and they would rather field a guy like Carvalho who seems to be better on the ball.

That's the 'problem' with this game: I would field a different team if I knew their coaches would also field them. Kalou is the prime example of a great great player who in MY mind should always be on the field... but almost every Chelsea manager seems to disagree.

...and as far as Wenger's decisions: don't get me started.
He's great at making young talented players better, and I admire him for always putting good quality attacking football before 'results', but tactically I think he can be quite a 'douche'...

[grim_tales]

I didnt know how to do it Yi, can you set up a BnB League?

[Yi-Long]

The game is curently in the process of being 'updated', so I can't log in. We'll set up a BNB league after this weekend. Don't worry about it.

[grim_tales]

Thanks

[grim_tales]

I got 86 points this week woooooo
Would of been even more if I'd made Fabregas my captain - doh!

[degeneration]

I only got 48... GK and defence was good. Arshavin aside, the rest of my team was crap. Now trying to figure out why I picked Arshavin over Fabregas...

Interesting week 2 coming up... only 6 matches.

[degeneration]

Ok, renewed the league from last season. In case you aren't automatically put in code is: 57704-296772

The league will be updated and made proper after the next points update.
