Hmmm maybe the 12pt hit to get the 'super' team wasn't worth it

Anyone tempted by Gyan or Beausejour?

Just dropped Rodallega and brought in Gyan. Part of his appeal is the fact he should be playing regularly for Sunderland. A bit hesitant about letting Rodallega go, though, particularly since my third striker is N'Gog.

Not yet - I'm guessing he'll be up soon - probably 8-8.5

It'll be interesting to see how he effects Bale's scoring.

Rodallega hasn't had a great start to the season (okay Wigan's start has been disasterous). I suspect wigan's season (and Rodallega's form) will improve as fixtures get easier.

Gyan could be a real bargain - Sunderland are shaping up to be a good team, and Bent has an excellent track record. If they work well together who knows - they've a decent defence and okay midfield... I worry a little about Gyan's finishing - he knows how to get to the goal, but seemed to suffer premature ejaculation - shooting too soon.

N'Gog I like - but until he gets much more gametime (unlikely unless Torres is injured) he'll remain a decent and inconsistent shooter rather than a truly good striker.

I can do 9 if I have to, without weakening my hugely succesful team too much.

If any of you have Dawson on your defence you might be wanting to look at transfers...

I'd really like to sign up but I've never done fantasy league sports before. Can someone put the basic MO into laymans terms for me?

Select 15 players from any premier league teams (max 3 per team), must have 2 goal keepers 5 defenders, can have 4 or 5 midfielders, can have 2 or 3 forwards. Total cost of players must not exceed 100 million. Prices fluctuate as more people buy or sell them. Choose which players of your 15 you wish to play each week in (goal) then 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 3-4-3 or 4-5-1. You get points awarded for players starting the game, playing 60mins or more, scoring goals, assists and bonus points for judges. Goalies, defenders and midfielders get points for clean sheets, goalies get them for penalty saves. Generally you can make 1 transfer per week without a loss of points.

There are additional rules and nuances, but that's the basics. If you're interested pm me.

If any of you were mad enough to pick Rooney as a forward be warned that he might be distracted for a while:

I think our tabloid press need to do a 'shock horror we've found a member of the England squad who doesn't cheat on their partner' story...
