I present to you...SURREAL MADRID.

However, when I get a spare 20 minutes I will sort out my midfield.

GK- Thomas Sorensen- A. Villa

DEF- Gary Neville- United.
DEF- John Terry- Chelsea.
DEF- Olaf Mellberg- A. Villa

MID- Jonathan Greening- W.B.A
MID- Kieron Dyer- Newcastle
MID- Danny Murphy- Liverpool
MID- Stelios Giannakopoulos- Bolton

FOR- Mikael Forssell- Blues
FOR- Luis Boa Morte- Fulham
FOR- Juan Antonio Reyes- A*se.
I hope some day, for some reason, David Duchovny is investigated by the FBI. Because that would make a great story.

I've managed to purchase my starting eleven for a handsome, 66.82 - leaving me a cap of just under 1/3 of my allowance to expand my team as the weeks progress.

On paper, I think my starting 11 looks pretty f**king sweet and as far as I know, none of them are injured or on olympic duty. However, whether they will all start or feature is another thing, and as a fair few of them are pretty much new on the scene..only time will tell if this gamble will pay off.

..Fingers crossed on that one, then.

A couple of the teams look good guys..some looked doomed..so we look like we're in for a great season this time around.

Less than a week now, ppl

It'll probably all go tits up, but it's worth a gamble.
Team looks good Adam..let's just hope you can keep up the challenge for the whole season this time..lol

Joe Cole may be a risk..but saying that he'll probably net a shed load on saturday now.

Umm..still debating whether to post my team-up. However, I will post my goalie and most expensive player as a taster of what's to come..hopefully.

GK Brad Friedel (Blackburn) 8.49

Scary stuff.

Seeing as one of my forwards is now in prison, perhaps I should tweak it all a little?

So many good players injured and it's so hard to predict who Wenger and Mourinho will start. Too much quality, too little places and a couple of the players haven't come up to pick yet.

Well, just over 24 hours 'til the start of the new premiership season with 21 teams registered at the minute. It's going to be a much better season this time around.

I've spent out on a few modifications, but they're going to remain under the hat until the teams are announced.

Good luck again, ppl.

The players that are new to the league always start off ridiculously cheap. In a couple of weeks they'll all have risen considerably. If I remember rightly Cristiano Ronaldo's price trebled in the first week after he scored on his debut.

git, I thought I'd get an advantage by getting Henry, and that everyone would overlook him...

bummer.

My team isn't finalised yet, so I'm not posting.

Saying that, Reyes will probably get a hat trick now
In two minds whether to go for Drogba or Smith up front, but other than that I'm pretty happy with the way things are looking for Rovers this season.

Much better set up this year, with team rosters being locked up when the points are being calculated. Means you can't put all the day's top scorers in your line-up on a saturday night anymore and reap the cash rewards on a sunday afternoon, but that can only be a positive thing.

Some players are still missing, and others aren't playing in the premiership anymore, but it's a definate improvement on last season. There is a pretty significant bug in the game which allows you not to lose any money on your star defender, who's value has fallen from 11 to 1m after scoring in the wrong net , but I'm sure Yahoo will have this fixed pretty sharpish.

Other than that, much better..great start by the Mushrooms..Chris and Andy, but still a long way to go yet.

I'm keeping the same line-up for the time-being, because I know if I get rid of anyone they'll score. The exception being Mark Viduka who appears to be AWOL - is he at the Olympics?

In that case, he's been replaced with James Beattie, who's apparently 'doubtful', but everyone else around him is definately out. Damn this new transfer system.
