Does this fantasything do automatic subs when a player doesn't play?
for example... Dyer didn't play so will he be replaced with Fernandez from my subs bench?

Absolutely. Also notice that you get to organize the ORDER in which your subs will enter the game, which is key.
In other news, Di Canio's measly 2 pts still gets me up to 50 for the week for the first time this season.
From 8th place, we've climbed to 5th in 2 weeks...
Watch out Kopite!!!!!

Oh I am watching.
I am sure my good run must end soon. Looking for Djorkaeff to give me a late boost tomorrow.

With Niell's 5 pts coming off the bench to replace Harte (thank god he didn't play), Jones Cracked Wheat will produce their fourth consecutive "season high" point total:
Weeks 1-5, so far...
31 pts.....35 pts.....41 pts.....47 pts......48 pts (+ anything Di Canio does today)
I sense that the 50 point barrier will be broken for the first time!
In less optimistic news, Beckham continues to be the most overpaid, biggest bust in the Very Small Rocks universe, and now has to sit out next weeks' game due to Yellow Card accumulation. Anyone have someone else in the running for "Underperformer of the Year" so far? Methinks Spice Boy and his 9.0 salary is running away with it.
I think Eidur gudjohnsen has him beat.
And to think that his agent wanted..nay, demanded, a pay raise for him in the off season.
he is a good stone or more overweight and a permanent fixture on the bench.
His double digit worth is a joke.
He's got to be the most expensive player on the bench in the (fantasy) league.

Cape Tribulation had a major stroke of luck with the subs...... to make for a wicked back five....
Unsworth (9) -- sub for Duff
Silvestre (5)
Southgate (6)
Sun (11) -- sub for McAteer
Gallas (6)
Also had
Kiely for Jones
Jenas for Zenden
But no more subs for Davis or Cole....
______________
Hal is the most active in the transfer market.... with 15 so far.

Congratulations to Jones Cracked Wheat..... for the week's top score..... 50

yes, ladies and gentlemen, last week's total was the lowest I've gotten in 3 years playing this fantasy league. Jay, you may have the most underachieving PLAYER, but my TEAM has got to be the most underperforming I've ever seen. On paper they should be strong but in fact they are too busy doing promotional book tours and such to play...
And thrilled as I am with my high dollar, point-a-week players, I can't get into the premiership site to make any changes. Fill in swear words here...

While most of us have tried to keep our benches full moderately priced full time players, thus limiting the cash we spend on our field players, I've noticed that Kopite has put almost all of his money on the field so far. It seems to be paying off.

It's a good tactic---as is bloody obvious---so long as his injuries stay a one player.
Any more and it's trouble.
Especially in the drafted league as all the decent players are gone.

The 2'nd yellow was deserved, but the first was a complete joke. The ref had a terrible match and Middlesbrough deserved to win.

Major late night shakeup last night in the Jones Cracked Wheat lineup...we'll see how it plays out, I guess.
