Like the look of that, I'm hoping Negredo pushes out Dzeko eventually! Your defence is going to score very well.

feck, I just heard that Aly Cissokho has signed for Liverpool on a year's deal. Competition for Enrique now.

It's fairly likely that Bale and Cabaye will be sold abroad, if they aren't then you've got a fantastic team.

I remember arguing why Koscielny is not "far better" than Mertesacker, who I picked ahead of Koscielny.

By the way, what's with all the edits to the rules? I'm getting all sorts of email notifications. Why has the deadline to set the lineup been modified from 5 minutes before gameweek to 7 hours? I think you should set it at an hour before kickoff, because I'm sure many of us will only bother modifying our team on Saturday mornings.

I'm still getting to grips with the logistics of it, leave it to me. I thought it would be better to have a set time every week, which will be 12:00 every Saturday (which is 7am EDT).

Sure, of course. Just curious. Set time every week is also fine, and 12:00 Saturday is a good time to set.

I did, I could unlock it after the transfer window closes and then the bidding war for various players might be fun. Or alternatively we could just leave it as it is. Any thoughts?

I reckon it should be unlocked, now or at the end of the transfer window. I do get your initial worry though and if by some miracle Ronaldo does end up signing for United this year I think he should be off limits.
