    Here is a major flyer and classic knee jerk selection. Of course it's not hard to give up one suspended striker for one whose been so out of favor. This will either be an early Christmas gift or a January blow out sale!

    I think I need to get really busy at work again. This having a little spare time is resulting in far too many transfers :eek:

    OUT: Vidic ( now watch him play 23 games straight)
    OUT: Flanagan (had his game of his life last week... he won't do it again)
    OUT: Livermore (had the game of his life this week... " " " " " " ")

    IN: Chambers D SOU (I like the look of this guy.. hope he sticks around)
    IN: Whittaker D NOR (number 3 on my bench might as well be worth 3.9)
    IN: Eriksen M TOT ( I have done all this just to get this fella back, fingers crossed he has a good Christmas period)

    Mmmmmm, you kind of think you have made an error in judgement when the 2 players you drop are immediately grabbed by two other managers :cautious:

    And edit it again, to change some punctuation.

    With Aguerro and Sturridge injuries, Aviators have be on a rapid slide down the table.

    We've had to make a drastic overhaul to try and arrest the slide until the Big Dawgs return, hopefully this month.

    As the first VSR Team to use the January wildcard, here's a summary of the trades I've made (SO FAR!):

    Team........Player Out....Player In..Pos..Team..Salary
    Aviators Robles Lioris G TOT 5.8
    Aviators Flanagan Santon D NEW 5.0
    Aviators Debuchy Coloccini D NEW 4.9
    Aviators Shaw Davies D HUL 4.7
    Aviators Redmond Dempsey M FUL 7.4
    Aviators Lambert Chamakh F CRY 4.8
    On The Road Mirallas Lennon M TOT 7.3
    Aviators Dempsey Mirallas M EVE 7.2

    Thanks for the best wishes. I'll last as long as I can. I've had a good run of luck with Walcott's return and the ADE pick up.

    I see you are close to the return of Aguero and Sturridge. I'll be looking over my shoulder:cautious::).

    Hal, what was the result of your 'available balance of the VSR teams' research?

    I went to do some looking as well.

    Sorted by League Position (with financial change this week)

    On The Road - In The Bank 2.6 + Team Value 100.9 = 103.5 (Down 0.2)
    Glorydaze - In The Bank 2.4 + Team Value 98.1 = 100.5 (Up 0.5)
    Top Shelf - In The Bank 0.1 + Team Value 99.5 = 99.6 (Up 0.2)
    Aviators - In The Bank 2.4 + Team Value 97.3 = 99.7 (Up 0.4)
    Pittsadelphia - In The Bank 3.2 + Team Value 96.4 = 99.6 (Up 0.4)
    BiggerBoat - In The Bank 0.4 + Team Value 98.7 = 99.1 (Up 0.1)
    Kopite Juniors - In The Bank 7.3 + Team Value 94.5 = 101.8 (Down 0.7)
    FC Weymouth - In The Bank 2.2 + Team Value 94.5 = 96.7 (No Change)

    Perhaps Kopite Juniors needs to spend some of that banked money to upgrade his team?

    With no financial change, FC Weymouth could have transfered a player before looking in the Fantasy Forum, saw that his 'chosen one' was taken and promptly changed back; hoping no-one would notice his (in)activity.

    :oops:

    All will be revealed in a few hours.

    I posted these two trades that FC Weymouth made on 1/14 in the Pre-GW22 thread with a proposal.

    I checked to confirm that neither of these players was on another VSR team when selected.

    No other VSR team tried to claim either of these players since.

    I welcome back FC Weymouth to actively managing his team and proposed that we accept the trade, even though they were not posted in the FPL Forum. I know I'm being a little lax since FC Weymouth is currently in the last position in the VSR Table. I am just taking the no harm, no foul approach.

    This would mean that Ward-Prowse SOU Mid 4.2 and Demel WHU Def 4.6 are back in the talent pool available for other managers to pick-up.

    Fine by me.... I went to sign AJ about midway through Sunderland game and checked all rosters first and saw FC Weymouth had him so left him alone. As you say, no harm no foul so happy to let it stand.
