FFL 2012/13





Gentlemen welcome to the 17th edition of the Dwight Yorke Cup

After another successful auction evening on the morning after the (long) night before, how does everyone feel?

Will Harry's United strikeforce strike gold for the Lord of Chingford?

Will an Arsenal striker actually score a goal or will the Pieri brothers rue the moment they splashed out 100K each on Podolski and Giroud?

This year's moneybags purchase was Hazard into Team Marneros. Will it be money well spent for a playmaking midfielder classed as a forward?

When will Smalling and Richards play for Donald?

When is Aguero back for Sid and will Nani start another game for United?

If Ferguson really is going to go 4-2-3-1 then some managers will not be happy. Four forward positions to accommodate Kagawa, Young, Nani, Valencia, RvP, Rooney, Wellbeck.

How many games will Ferdinand play this year for Nick as his creaking body struggles to play two games a week?

Can Bent rediscover his scoring touch? If he does, TC has a lethal strikeforce with Tevez.

Will the carthorse (Carroll) start scoring again for  McNick as he again built his team from the back.

Shrewed signings? How about:

Fletcher for 0.5m?
Enrique for 0.1m?
Sahin for 3.2m?
Sessegnon for 1.8m?
Evans for 0.2m?
Berbatov for 4m?

and so on...........................

Plenty of questions but also plenty of transfer opportunities.

Remember the week runs from Monday to Monday so transfer deadline is before the first game that week, usually an 8pm KO on Monday. Be aware of earlier Monday kick-offs.

Here is the first table of the new season. McNick leads from TC thanks largely to 11 points from Michu. Sid is the early front (back?) runner for the wooden spoon with a a total of 6 due to -5 points from his defence. But it is of course early days.
