Anyone got this week's password?

Can't find it in the usual places and I've not got a copy of the Telegraph to hand.

Is it too late to set up a mini league?
Balotelli, Falcao, Cavani...

I'll be shocked if it's anyone other Etoo. Etoo or no-one. Simples.

In fact, I'll do you all a favor and ban myself from the January transfer window forum if we get anyone other than Etoo.

If I live to be a hundred and Liverpool bring in genius managers who win Quadruples and Quintuples for the club, I'll always point to Rafa as the one who meant the most to me.

Anyone else having problems getting into the transfers bit today? Had the "try again" button since first thing. . .

Word of advice. Do your transfers on a saturday morning.

Another word of advice...
As long as you get your transfers in before the first game on that day they count. So if one of your players is playing on the saturday, you could swap him sunday morning for someone playing that evening. This works best when...

Saturday
PLAYER 1 plays
Sunday
*transfer*
PLAYER 2 plays
Midweek
PLAYER 2 plays
Saturday
PLAYER 2 plays
Sunday
*transfer*
PLAYER 1

I am trying something similar with Ronaldo as he is out for the next 2 games. Swapped Ronaldo for Doyle who plays 4 times with Ronaldo only playing 1 game.

There should be a site (other than the telegraph one) that gives an update on the scores/scorers/assists/MOMs and things. That'd be handy. In work we use the Telegraph as a scoring system, but we run it ourselves and thus I have to wait for whenever they bother doing the updates to see where I am in the league. Might be nice to work out who got credited with what...



http://www.atjd97.dsl.pipex.com/     This was posted on RAWK two seasons ago. I think know you can check the league table everynight when there has been a game. Is good because you can suss out what players others have.

If I'm in/around the money come the end of the season, I become unbearable! :D


Me too. I was 4th last year out of 26 but things fucked up when I was travelling. I ended up finishing 7th.

Only got 64 points so far which is shite but only had 11 after 3 til the weekend gone.

Seems interesting, and similar to what we do at work. We've got a main table which is purely points, and then cup competitions where you 'play' another player. Nice innovation from TFL.



Would be boss if we got paired eh?

175 and still 4th in the big league. But then we have the whole limited transfers thing so can't change them too much (hence the lower points).

Excuses. Squad rotation is bad, so the limited transfers should have you top ;)

I have 173 anyway so shouldn't really be ribbing you.
