    Li Yanfeng for Teddy Tamgho, please.

    This round you do all your swaps in one. I think you are forgetting a few injuries;)

    Eee, I've toyed with replacing Hooker with Walker in the PV but I'll go with Steve - what a competitor.

    So - four throwers, two vaulters, two MD runners, one each of HJ, LJ, high hurdler and multi-eventer. Team Jersey raring to go.

    Would do my brain in to start going over more picks so I won't be changing anyone on my team

    If it's not too late I'd like to make one change, just after reading that LJ Van Zyle was suffering from fatigue last month after a long season. While he is still probably a medal contender, I'd worry about him.

    I'll shove in Jamal Maryam Yusuf instead.

    Considering someone skipped my turn I declare his null and void so I will let you change :D

    Ill make one switch Mokeana out and ill shove in Brian Clay now that he is actually competing (hopefully do better than US Nationals:D)

    I've been out of touch with what has been going on the last few weeks so I'm not sure if any of my athletes have had injuries or not made their team or whatever. It would wreck my head spending ages doing google searches so I'm going to make one sub, for the athlete I know for sure wont be in Daegu.

    I'll make a direct sub. Same event, same nationality.

    Ezekiel Kemboi for Paul Kipsiele Koech please. How did that one slip through the net. 7.55 in Monaco.

    Hey Guys

    Just back from holidays and it seems my team has taken a bit of a bashing. Anyone mind me making subs at such a late stage?

    Welcome back ecoli. I'd say no one will mind, as Powell and Clay are out from injuries. Go ahead and swap.

    Go ahead yeah. In the interests of fairness only replace non runners though (Powell for you is it?). Huge benefit having the odds and previews for most events now.

    And best of luck to everyone!

    I have no problem with that ecoli, competition hasn't started yet and you have been unfortunate in terms of injury withdrawals.

    I've already used up one of my discard scores with Ozaki scoring me a big fat zero in the marathon. Not to worry, 11 more to go.
