The code to join the SR League is 5820-4158
So join on up, but let me know what your team name will be so I can post it in here and we'll actually know who's who this time. I'll win, obviously, because I can kick you out if you do better than me. Hohoho.
Oh, and by the way, I've called the league 'The League of Baros'. So if you've got any problems with that, don't join. Only kidding, I might change it. Simple stuff, really. I haven't got Baros in my team though - it pains me.

> 6 changes.
... but you'd already made 24 changes up to the 1st November!!
You shouldn't have sold Lampard :)
I try to keep my transfers down to one per week but had to make a couple this week to get Henry back. Flogged Murphy so Charlton will probably come good again which may help as I still have the Charlton goalie and I'd never sell Hreidarsson because he did good for me last year.
I made five one week, I think. Terrible week. I got Carvalho in, thinking his tiff with Mourinho had ended so he'd start to play again, get me points and rise in value. Instead, he fell in value and got injured, so I had to transfer him out again in the same week. And with the other transfers I carried out, the people I had to begin with did better in the next round of matches than the new people I got. I think I still did reasonably well as well, so I might have had a killer week if I'd have just left my team alone.
I'm limiting myself to one transfer a week now, it's not going too badly. It just requires planning in advance. I knew Henry was coming back, and to get him in and keep van Nistelrooy required me to swap Warnock for Chimbonda on week, Friedel for a 3.4 million keeper the next, and buy Henry the week after that. It worked well as Chimbonda scored in both weeks that I've had him, and Filan (the keeper I had beforehand as my reserve) kept clean sheets. Unfortunately I missed the boat on Shaka Hislop, he rose to 3.5, which meant I would have been 0.1 short to buy Henry. Got Kuszczsckak instead. At least he's playing at the moment. I will be living dangerously though, with a Wigan keeper and a West Brom reserve keeper. Wigan have a nightmare run of matches, and West Brom concede goals like it's going out of fashion. I really hope Filan isn't injured any time soon. At least I have a killer attack now though.
It's all Charlton's fault. I was kicking ass with Bent, Murphy and Rommedahl when they were scoring for fun. They've been crap the last few weeks, though. I'm going to despise watching them hump Man United this weekend now... meh, if it's all Murphy-orientated, then that's ok, as he's still in. Bet Bent gets a hat-trick, though. :-(
Carr and Barton were injured, and RVN was doing nothing for me. I can't rely on Given away at Stamford Bridge, so Yobo, Davis, Henry and Jussi are in for those 3. All of them apart from Henry are only temporary, mind, seeing as they're all playing against beatable opponents, and might not be next week.
!!!!!!!
Isnt that like -20 points before any of them have even played? You gotta have faith in the muppets you picked :)
> Who you bought in AJ?
- Henry, of course.
- Jaaskelainen, as Bolton are playing Birmingham, plus he's cheap.
- Yobo and McFadden (money savers, but also with the hope that Everton can win away at West Brom).
- Davis (so Villa had better do something away at Sunderland as well).
- Alnwick, as a reserve keeper. Cheapest on the list, so again that was a money saver.
Needed to trade down in a few instances so I could keep Lampard and Gallas as well as bringing in Henry.
But I did make 2 transfers the other day so whatever.
This team needs some damn points. We've been on a constant decline. Dropped from about 12th by about 20 positions in about a month.
