Transfers.....

Some transfers had to be voided this week due to managers sending them in too late. I'm not going to name them before you ask!

A reminder about the weekly transfer window (taken from the first page of the spreadsheet):

"The transfer week runs from Monday to Monday. This means that transfers made at any time during the week do not come into play until the first game of the week (usually Monday night at 8pm) kicks off. It therefore makes sense to make the transfer as near as possible to 8pm on Monday night because you won't be able to pick up points any earlier. The reason I've highlighted the first game of the week is to account for bank holiday fixtures which can kickoff as early as midday. In such cases, the transfer deadline moves forward to that early kickoff. The reason for this rule is to eliminate picking up cheeky mid-week points."

Last week's window ended at 1pm - the kick-off time for Chelsea's match against Fulham so any transfer after this time is for the NEXT window.

I ahve sent emails to the relevant mamnagers advising them of this.

One transfer that did go through was mine - benefit of being on this bloody blog practically every day:

Tried to get Cleverley for Cabaye as his twitter states he is back in training (I know I'm sad) but he is Sid's player so this activated my second choice which is Valencia. (who will no doubt stay at right back as Smalling joins a growing injury list of defenders FFS)
