  4. If you search "Tank" in YFF Lampard will be one of the results.

  7. So, a search for 'Tank' gets you Lampard, but a search for 'Santos' does NOT get you André Santos. It brings up D. Santon (who?) and G. dos Santos.

    Hmm...time to adjust the search algorithms...

  8. D.Santon is a left back...came from inter

  11. i would suggest keeping an eye out for Ruiz, heard nothing but good things about him.

    Shame Yahoo seem to be on the ball this year and have listed him as a forward and not an attacking midfield or winger. Can't see him getting in my team this week ahead of Rooney, Kun and dzeko.

    Briggs, Gibbs or Brown is my final choice - leaning towards the man with orange hair

  12. where's Chu Young Park ?

    ReplyDelete
  13. DDG
    Rangel Bosingwa Santos
    Silva Young Walcott SWP Nasri
    Mata Dzeko

    Dropped Agureo and Suarez and i am loving this team, only problem is i don't have any Man City defender, but with Richards seeminlgy out i cannot do anything about that.

  14. DDG
    Rangel Bosingwa Santo
    Silva Nasri Young Walcott SWP
    Mata Dzeko

    Dropped Aguero and Suarez but besides not having a Man City defender i am loving this team.

  15. right now i am going with

    de gea
    smalling, stearman, andre santos
    taarabt, young, nasri, c herd
    dzeko, aguero, roooney

    i am really excited about the stearman pick, as i thought that wolves would keep a clean sheet hosting spurs coming to town, before van der vaart was announced as out. now i am even more confident. picking between andre santos and mertesacker is difficult. i will, ultimately pick the wrong one and be forced to barn door the other.

    i missed out on 200 points, because i dropped young for van der vaart. since, i brought young back in that means, i will get 200 points, this week, right!!!

  16. My 4 defenders are Larry, Moe, Curley, and Shemp.

  17. @Fleeties:

    Baines is now injured.

    ReplyDelete
  18. What are your thoughts on Nasri this week guys. I think that he had a good debut last week, but I will have to make quite a few changes to fit him in my team.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I have Nasri in my revised team

    De Gea
    Mertesacker/ Santos/ Grygera
    Silva/ Nasri/ Walcott/ (Dempsey OR Bale?)
    Aguero/ Mata/ Ruiz

    What is this about Aguero being unlikely to play the next match?

    ReplyDelete
  20. My team so far is as follows

    De Gea
    Brown, Santos/Mertersacker, Kompany
    Silva, Young, SWP, Benayoun
    Aguero, RVP, Hernandez

    I really like this team.
    What do you think?

    Thanks
