He is going back to Villa beside poor defenders who are set up poorly and will leak goals. I can't see him scoring very high. Also will Long even be first choice i am not so sure.

It's now some time later, I've got a headache, I'm pretty sure it looks worse and I'm way more confused than when I started. Reminds me a little of Father Ted and the dent in the car :pac:

Mr. Incognito wrote: » Only having one team makes you think more, you only have one chance. You become obsessive over your transfers. If there is a choice of four players you have to pick one, REALLY pick one. Not put one in each of your teams and declare yourself a genius when one comes off. Having the balls to punt on a player and it coming off is the thing that I respect the most around here. It is not boring to have one team. It is the reason that we come here to chat and debate and become attached to our choices. Having more than one team gives you scope to cheat on those choices and the other players. You can post whatever rule you want but in the end you are only cheating on your own enjoyment of the game. I would suggest that you try having one team and doing it properly and I guarantee you will enjoy it more than having four teams.

roryc wrote: » Villa got 9 clean sheets last year, which is basically 25% of their games. Vlaar is captain so will play every week. If you bench him against the top 6 clubs and tough away games you will probably be left with about a 40% chance of a clean sheet (and bonus points) when you do play him. Can't beat that for £4.5m. I would likely have him in my team regardless of his World Cup performance
