Bring this on! :-)

I won't be joining this, but what do you reckon of this team?

Good back 4.
Midfield only 1 out of 5 has played in Premier League before. I believe particularly Kagawa will blend in perfectly well tho. Michu might be a better option than De Guzman.
Steady attack.
Yeah that's the risk really. That those four will bed in well. Michu is a good shout.
Swansea's openers are appealing and I think Laudrup is favouring an attacking lineup, so Graham could be good.
Is Zamora nailed on? I'm not completely confident. The others are all steady and I think Agbonlahor will have a better time under Lambert, albeit perhaps from the wing.
I'd go for Rodallega over Pogrebnyak, I think. The latter's record (other than his start at Fulham) doesn't particularly point to him being prolific.
Why not enter?
Regarding your team, neither Rafael and Clichy are guaranteed starters due to rotation, but are eating into your defensive budget.
De Guzman, Cazorla, Kagawa and Hazard - that's four unproven PL punts in your midfield. I'd maybe think about one, two max.
I'd also spend more money up top, one forward is an unusual tactic.
Who is on your bench?
Krul
Fabio-Shawcross-Kosclieny-Baines
Michu-Ramires-Kagawa-Johnson
Rooney-Aguero
What you guys think of my team.
Bench is Rafael, Jay Rodriguez, El-Ahmadi and Rudd.
My team's name is KM25.
Good back 5 except Koscielny is out for now with an injury.
Ramires & Johnson not at all sure starters while Kagawa probably will blend in like nothing else. Michu will probably come good, might be in for signing of the season?
Roo+Aguero will do their job & bench looks good.
I don't understand the fuzz about Pogrebnyak.
After some research I'd go for one out of Rodallega, Petric, Graham, Di Santo. West Brom will probably rotate a bit as they now have Odemwingie, S Long, Rosenberg AND Lukaku.
Pogrebnyak is wank he's more of a nuisance half the time rodallega is a sneaky little fecker. He's great at snatching you a few points when nobody else seems to
Lads I wouldn't mind entering. Do I just post here and wait for the PM?
Also My Manager name is Steven Baxter, does that comply with the rules?
Team name - ShinjiXI

Regardning the RedCafe league, many seem to have posted here (including me) without getting included in the private league?
Is there actually a RedCafe league?? If nothing happens, I'll start a new private league and just post the code here and then everybody can join :-)

Changed my team.

Gutierez - Kagawa - Yaya - Cazorla - Michu
Rooney - Torres

Rooney - Torres
Yeah I've gone for Torres too. Got a tasty looking double header in the first gameweek. Will sub him out after that if he looks like shit Torres. Also think Tevez is a great shout at 9.0.
Vermaelen seems a bit too expensive.
3 completely new PL players in midfield is a bit of a risk.
There are better midfielders than Gutierez for those 6 M £ or just 0.5 more:
Osman, Pienaar, Larsson, Song, Walters, N'Zogbia
Allen, Dyer, Pilkington, Taarabt
or if you want to take a chance
Mulumbu (WBA), Beausejour (WIG), Miyiachi (WIG), Ireland, Frei (FUL)
Anyone know what Arsenal's front six are going to look like? This is my guess -
Song - Arteta
Santi
Walcott- Giroud - Podolski
What happens to Gervinho and Ramsey?
Song - Arteta
Santi
Walcott- Giroud - Podolski
What happens to Gervinho and Ramsey?
Song if he stays. Gervinho doesn't seem to have the confidence nor the trust to deliver the goods and Ramsey is a bit hit or miss.
You also missed Rosicky, Chamberlain and Wilshere. Particularly Rosicky who was great when he returned last season.
4-3-3 probably with only Song's place up for competition as of now?
So do I swap Rooney for RvP then?
I need to economise £1M, which will be difficult, also I'm not sure that RvP will play as many games as Rooney.
What do you reckon?

I think they will split the points so will probably not have either.
Who is on penalties. Both of them would be too expensive if don't take penalties.
If you are paying £12m+ the player should take all pens, free kicks and the whole team should be is geared around them to get the best out of them.

I'll do it this year
Have you PM'd JakeC? He's in charge of the league... make sure you ask for Riona when you do.
After a late change of heart I will now enter
Team name is Randall F
Please send me the code

Hang on, it says I am already in it?
I missed the stuff where you had to PM JakeC. Thanks! Unofficial league deleted.
Everybody: PM JakeC to get an invite.
Nah, it was just the unofficial league I created, and that was a mistake. PM JakeC for an invite code!
Yeah I seen your one and joined it but it also says I am in the other one too. IT must just carry over from last season I guess?
I've PM'd Jake.
PM'd Jake, looking forward to this actually, although for some reason it is rather hard to put a decent team together for me this year.
What do we think of Kagawa as a fantasy football prospect? I assume he will be first choice in our team, but perhaps he will miss out now and again for rotation purposes?

He'd be a shoe in if we hadnt signed Van Persie, playing as a No.10 mostly would be shitloads of assists and goals. Now i'm not so sure, could be deployed deeper or even wide occassionally. I might leave him out for now and wait an see.

I was thinking along the same lines myself, I still think Kagawa is capable of scoring big if played out wide though.
Can I join the league if I add "stretford" to my real name?
Is there no head to head this year?
PJ's XI signing in.
You are in the Real Caftards league, so go to that leagues Forum on the FPL game and JakeC who is administrating the league has started a topic H2H League Code. The code is in there.
I joined the head to head league, how does it actually work?
I'll take the code please.
