The Top 3 have a clear breakaway from the bottom 3 with ilovecolumbia jumping up to tie FC Springfield for 4th place. Ajax Reserves, even with all the trades, is positioned in 6th place and is also looking to jump into the fight for 4th place and the final promotion spot.

Another huge week for TVD Phenomenons with 88 points. You had to drop to 58 points for this week's second highest weekly score as posted by Windsor Wanderers. Then came sporting-FC columbia's 57 and the 51 points posted by AS Saint-Lambert and Ajax Reserves.

All this talk of separation, along with the turn-around examples of Ajax Reserves and sporting FC columbia, have Chris and Brian revising their game plan for the second half of the season.

Almost a gold medal week for Jason's Nocturnal United, just being pipped by TVD's 88 points. Who awoke the bottom half of this table. If this trend continues, we'll have all 8 teams fighting for the promotion spots.

Changes: Only 7 new trades. TTV up 1.3 M; Total Roster Points Scored up 281; Total Pts. Scored per $M pounds up 36.5.

When I look at the weekly overall changes, the teams from the Very Small Rocks League have closed the TTV, Roster Points Scored and Pts/$ gap previously enjoyed by the senior league, the Small Rocks League. It only took 1/2 season for these managers to become fully acclimated to this fantasy soccer game. It's going to be a tight competition for the rest of the season.

[Hal]

remember that I personally didnt even pick my team

Whine of the Day!

You've long since had opportunities to remake your team. Let's file that whine with the I don't have Henry, Lampard, Terry, Robben, Cech, and Scholes statements.

This is an excuseless league!!! :rolleyes:

Brian revising their game plan for the second half of the season.


You damn right that I revising my plan. It would get better only if Ruud would stop being injured all the time!

[subbuteo]

just drop him then
may pay to do so depending on what transfers are made by the real clubs in January

No way. Ruud would come back and then burn me for selling him off. A fresh Ruud in Jan. is somrthing to look forward to. :D

[ibreak4coffee]

Always get hit with the injuries at the worst time. Since Reyes is set to miss at least four games... it pains me to do this.

OUT: Reyes, Arsenal, Striker, 10.3
IN: Kluivert, Newcastle, Striker, 9.3

Really incredible that the two leaders of our respective divisions are only separated by one point.

Winning Connection has a 1 point lead at the moment.

In an early morning attempted coup, Ajax Reserves tried to steal Hoult from AS Saint Lambert. The League Commissioner had to berate himself and immediately rescinded the trade, but not before Ajax Reserves had used up this week's free transfer.

To make matters worse, this is how Ajax finally settled the matter:

OUT:
Cech GK Chelsea 7.5 (#1 keeper folks, and I'm sure some other manager will grab him)
Ashdown GK Portsmouth 4.0
Granville Def Crystal Palace 4.1

IN:
Martyn GK Everton 6.1 (#2 keeper returns to the fold. Hard to believe no one else swooped for him.)
Robinson GK Tottenham 5.9 (#3 keeper) What's up with this league, no one wants to invest in keepers?
Robinson Def West Brom Albion 3.5
