Imagine Shearer in a Venky's advert. Hope Shelby Singh continues to be influential in the boardroom and transfers. That guy's a joke on the same level as Kean and the owners. Appointing him as manager would be great fun.

Is that face to the right part of the logo or graffiti? Genuine question.

He's on the team with the bids, with Colo and Tiote Personally won't give an arse about Xisco leaving but I hope Colo's and Tiote's heads won't be turned.

Paid off for you, this gamble. Could easily have been Harper on the field. Guess Ms Bimpy brings you luck.

Courtois was the one that totally caught me. I mean, I can understand outfield players being rested but a GK? Seems they find a trip to Israel unnecessary even for their first choice keeper. It's like the smaller the opponent/match. the less chances of those heavily favoured players featuring. Might as well go for regulars in lesser teams.

Yup, the subs will take place although it seems that the process is taking longer than usual. Manual subs is an option in the CL as the matches are played over 2 matchdays. So many teams resting their players, it's hard to figure out who will start regularly. Including subs, I only have 9 players who played some part in matches. Courtois (GK!!!), Maggio, Sneijder, Krasic, Cavani all didn't start. Newcastle not taking the competition as seriously as other teams?

Falcao not in today's squad btw so it might be good to reshuffle the team. 8 more hrs til deadline.

Darn. *Transfer Falcao out of FF team*

Unlike the CL fantasy, Europa is played on a single matchday per round, meaning manual subs are out. Might make sense to go for a really cheap backup GK so you can invest in other positions. Some 24 hrs til transfer deadline.

I'm from Singapore though.

Fucking hell, $10k monthly to drive a truck and $20/hr to flip burgers? I should go work there!

They have just changed the UI for this season. Agree that it causes a fair bit of confusion. Hopefully they will sort it out as it goes. Falcao vs Obertan. Of course you'll choose Obertan ftw!

Didn't know there's one for the Europa League so you've got slightly over a day left til matchday 1! http://en.uelfantasy.uefa.com/UEFA/15805/clienthome.do Join Code: 566844-454339 Howay The Lads!

Cos he has found his role within the team - 20, 30 mins towards the end where he can be an impact sub and where it doesn't kill his body. A lot of the frustration came when he was a regular in the side, pushing his limited fitness and not having much contribution most of the time. There's no target man similar to him that we have on our books so he can be an effective Plan B when he comes on. Oh, and the mackem-slaying too.

The transfer talk won't stop any time soon. His contract is up in 2 years so they have to either get him to sign an extension or sell him off by the summer. Wonder what his agent will make of that.

AYe, first thing that strikes me for that goal was the two offering different options and not going for the same ball. Was it them two ahead of Ben Arfa when Jones stupidly didn't give the advantage on the breakaway? That was just magnificent thinking - Benny in the middle and the two in wider positions.

Class celebration for the 2nd goal. Reminds me of the newscaster 'Yeah! f*** Yeah!' gif. Someone should do similar for Pardew's.

The bonus system is mental and I have pretty much given up choosing players based on potential bonuses. Shots missed counts as a disadvantage for Defoe, not surprising considering his 'shoot on sight' policy.

Nobody doesn't give 2 shits about Spur's new training ground. Maybe somebody will.

That Everton game was effectively over in the early minutes after Arsenal and Spurs scored quick goals. In hindsight, glad that we didn't get that 4th spot. Would be absolutely gutted waiting so long only to see Chelsea win the CL.

Heard Shelvey got called up as replacement due to Gerrard's resultant injury.

Hodgson sure loves his Liverpool players. Livermore prob got called up cause his name starts with Liver- and has more in it.

Totally unprofessional that. Moyes should bench him for the next match!

Everton bought him for 15m. Considering his long contract, proven PL ability, and the dross that goes for big bucks nowadays, good chance of enticing a Man U/Man City/Chelsea to go for him.
