FFL Week 1.....what goes around comes around

So let the games begin.........

My first year as reigning champion (that phrase may well become a regular feature of my weekly blatherings) and my first year as scorer on the blog so bear with me and feel free to correct any scoring inaccuracies..........my opinions however you're lumbered with!!

Firstly, self-congratulation all round on the smoothest auction yet, done and dusted in less than 4 hours.

Secondly and hence title of my blog. Couldnt help but enjoy the irony of McGeady;s sending off for a BLATANT dive and this sentence from Mowbray......... "If we hadn't had the week we've had in the media, I would suggest the referee would never have made it a sending off," said the Celtic manager.......whose fault is that then Tony!

So the early scores done post-auction yesterday which I will check at my first audit after Internationals:

1. James 63


2. Nick Ath 57


3. Stathi 49


4. Rico 46


5. Mike 39


6. Don 35


7. Nick Ach 32


8. Theo 22


9. Sid 22

Useless stat of the week..........costliest team:

1. Cech 8m


2. Evra 13.1m


3. Bosingwa 13.5m


4. Vidic 11.2m


5. Terry 11.3m


6. Arsahvin 16.5m


7. Lampard 16.7m


8. Gerrard 15.2m


9. Fabregas 15.5m


10. Rooney 18.1m


11. Torres 16.5m

Total cost is 155.6m and unsurpisingly all players from the traditional Big 4 (4 CFC / 3 Man Utd / 2 Liverpool / 2 AFC). What a team...swap big Fat Frank for Essien for a bit of bite and you're unbeatable!! Only me and Nick PC don't have any of the most expensive players. 2 each for Rico, Nick (both CB) Stathi and Mike.

Bargain bucket team....my take on worst of <0.5m>

1. Gomes


2. Ferrira


3. Rafael


4. Agger


5. Davies


6. Geovanni


7. Huddlestone


8. Modric


9. Reid


10. Yakubu


11. Tevez

Probably irrelevant but 3 of those each for Theo, Sid and Rico and 1 each for Mike & Nick.........

We shall see.............
