    Is there any way of kicking someone out of a league that has joined without you wanting them to? I see a suspend player option but will that remove them?

    There was an option last year. I got kicked out of my friends league because I was winning it by a lot :P. You're barred from joining up again until the administrator allows you.

    Email at the very start. Then you get to the page for your team and you put in your team name then.

    Team I threw together but most likely will change.

    Have 2.5m in bank to spend on Rooney in GW2/3

    Alright lads, great to have it back!
    Looking forward to the great and rubbish advice from here that I helped me out last year. :)

    That was the first, of my three years playing, that I took part in this section of boards and I got my highest points of all three as a result...so cheers in advance!

    Anyways, moving on...

    Naismith for Everton...I have a sneaky feeling he'll be a good choice.
    He's 6.5 and yes, as a Toffee myself, I know full well that our season starts are generally sh|t for the last few years. Last year when we got Jelavic, things started turning around for us. He's the first proper striker who wants to perform we've had for a while and teaming up with Naismith may prove to be a good pairing. Jelavic is priced too high even for me now but Naismith....
    Here's a guy that's coming out of the whole rangers debacle wanting to put it behind him and he's a proven asset so he's going in my team (as of now and before you guys talk me out of it :) )

    Ok I came up with these at the start of last season after Giggs was in the media but decided against using them. The names were cleared by fpl is being ok for use.

    Ian Harte netted Readings only goal from a free-kick in their last match. Typical of him. I hope to god Shorey doesn't start ahead of him, it'd be an outrage, FF-wise.

    Looks like Lucas Moura is going to United!!! To anyone who doesn't know him, he's an unbelievable dribbler/player. He'd fit nicely in behind Rooney..... Now what problems could that cause????? Hmmmmm... Oh wait..... don't United already have a new player for that position called Kagawa? :pac:

    From what i could see on youtube clips, he spends most of his time on the right wing

    What i also found out from research was that the reliable source that is the Daily Mirror broke this story... so i'll be holding on to my hat, just for now

    Boy, can he dribble though

    So even more rotation in United Midfield...and another winger:confused:
    Scholes will have to retire at some point Fergie

    I have both Mata and Hazard in my team at the moment. No Utd wingers because of rotation, same as City strikers, even though Tevez looks good value at 9m.

    Is Rooney worth 12m do you think?

    Even though he is costly I think just get him because I said the same thing last season and what happened? 2 hatricks in 3 games

    I think I have money to spare anyway.
    I have Kagawa also but depending on his pre season I may ship him out.

    Valencia won't be rotated too much after his performances last season(named as our player of the year). Rooney is worth the 12m, but I'm going with Torres at the start.

    As for names, I've went with Sungs of Praise, dedicated to QPR's new star.

    Think Park is worth it at 6m.
    I have Pilkington at that price at the moment and I think he represents good value.

    It could be a different story if we got Moura.

    if anyones interested in stoke defenders.......

    Begovic, Wilson, Shawcross, Huth, Ness was the starting back 4 but switched to Sorensen, Wilkinson, Higginbotham, Upson, Delap in the second half

    pretty crap game, but Walters scored as per usual and stoke lost 2-1!

    villa and spurs games are on soon......tom hanks is at portland to watch the mighty villa!

    villa:
    Guzan, Lowton, Collins, Clark, Warnock, Ireland, El Ahmadi, Bannan, Holman, Weimann, Delfouneso

    spurs:
    Cudicini; Walker, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Bassong; Livermore, Sigurdsson; Townsend, van der Vaart, Bale; Defoe.

    Bale scored a fantastic looping header off a good in-swinging ball from Sigurdsson but LA scored a great team goalthemselves. Sarvas with a deft diagonal chip through to DeLaGarza who squares to a wide open Lopes behind the defense 1-1 Bale wears no9 now :eek:

    btw VDV pulled a hammy in the 1st half and walker damaged his ankle in the 2nd lets hope there not series.........

    in the villa match Bannans cracking strike was brilliantly tipped over by Troy Perkins. from the resulting inswinging Bannan corner, Ciaran Clark is left unmarked at the far post to score with a simple header. timber equalised (i missed it but saw Timber Joey cut a giant log with a chainsaw) 1-1
    2-2 villa scored first, lawton taps in from a corner. Timber equalises with a strike from the edge of the area, with the aid of a massive deflection (dunno who scored...some black guy)

    villa are mad for the quick passing game but they where actually decent enough at it but have no end product when it matters....the squads has to many average young players!

    two good game tho...

    timbers bizarre club celebration (i know wrong match but you get the idea)

    Looks like VDV was behind Defoe, so Sigurdson was playing in a central midfield role, with Townsend the defensive midfielder and himself the attacking. But It doesn't look like he played in behind the striker...... not when VDV was on the pitch anyway.



    I'm contemplating getting a big player from Spurs. They kind of slipped my mind when picking my team.
