I registered.

Also its cool they have a random head to head league. Great thing is I'm in a group with someone whose team is called 'It's Our Year'. You guessed it, he's a Liverpool fan

eh-hem Chuck...

You had to be different, huh?

The Cafe 08-09?


If you get ahead of the pack, next year... please indicate The (((RED))) Cafe.

For all we know Norwich could have a site named the Yellow Cafe... We wouldn't care to be mistaken with something like that, now would we?


Anyhow, I'm locked and loaded for the new season. N' ya boys and girls that got a 13 week lead in the predictions league will not have that luxury, this year.

agreed with the name, is there no way to change it?

My strikers are currently a bit crap since I spent the rest on the rest of the team. So far I have Sturridge, Campbell and Owen.
Sturridge looks promising but now they've just bought Jo and are after Santa Cruz. Owen is always crippled, and as for Campbell i'm counting on him going back to Hull on loan, but doubt they'll score much

Anderson criminally underpriced!! Rest of United's midfield (Ronaldo aside) also cheap as fuck. Scholesy, Carrick and Hargreaves all cost less than Shaun Wright Phillips, and Anderson costs less than Lucas!

Most appalling difference: Scholes £7.0 - Dirk Kuyt - £8.5

Work may interrupt a week, here or there, but I am confident in our collective effort to beat out Red Issue, once again.

Have a good season.

All the high point scorers are so expensive this time round. And they got rid of those 3m defenders as well.

Brad Friedel is a good cheap keeper, was tempted to stick with my normal choice of Reina. I might yet depends if Ince brings in any good replacements

I'm in - Eleven Monkeys, will be some chopping & changing over the next few weeks.

Reading through the Ronaldo thread, I've taken him out & put him back in almost every other post.

I didn't find it too difficult actually, but then I did save a load of money by not picking Ronaldo.

Yes but he suffers because of the dodgy defenders that surround him. I lost many points last season thinking the same thing.

I think this is my 7th or 8th year at this...

As long as I'm above the 50% mark within our league, I'm having a good time.

I am tempted to take him out my team, could probably buy two other good players in his place

I had 0.5 money left when I had bought what I wanted. Others sat for hours trying to make a decent team. Lucky me.
The name is the best one in the league. Oh, and we have the tallest floodlights too

You can select a team now and join the league and then make as many changes as you want up until the first match of the season.

A big factor in Anderson and Scholes being underpriced is that you're not often going to be sure who starts. There was a lot of juggling last season. The United players i tended to have in my team last season were virtually guaranteed starters like Rio, Ronaldo, Wes and Tevez.

I suppose that makes sense. It took me a while to realise why mascherano was so cheap as well.

I am in United 4ever.

Wanted to keep the team, I ended last season with but the total price was a lot more than 100 million.

Some of the top players are really expensive this season.
