Hot Tip: Cisse as striker, he's gonna score a lot this coming season. I feel it in my water...or I could just be needing the toilet...

Ok I signed up with Yahoo! with some friends and family. Now, I follow Serie A much more than the Premiership but most of the people I know follow Premiership more so we did a league in that. Just want people's opinions on my team.

Diouf - will get way too many yellow cards and won't score enough.

Drogba - can't be garenteed a first team place, but did score twice in the community shield

Ronaldo - Good choice

De La Cruz - ok

Carsley - Good, solid player

Carrick - Will get a few assists

Ferdinand - Good

Distin - Man City have a leaky defence some times - might not get clean sheet points!

Delaney - OK

Finnan - Is he first-choice now? If not, you might want to change him.

Friedel - Good, solid keeper!

So, IMO, overall your team is pretty good. The only one I would really want to change is Diouf!

BTW -

The Neowin league is looking a bit sparce atm. Could anyone who reads this please put a link in their sig to entice more to join.....Like me!!!

Took me about a 1/2 hour to sort out my team. Some good some bad. Hopefully I'll do ok.

[jiggling_john]

I'm going for the 'obviously doesn't have a clue' award :p

With Diouf I'm hoping he'll accumulate some early goals before getting into trouble and raise his value and then I'll sell him for someone who will be more likely to be on the pitch every week.

I was torn between Drogba and Crespo to be honest. But I know Drogba has had a wonderful showing in their exhibitions here in the U.S. and in the Community Shield so I'm hoping he'll win out.

Just found out Distin is out for the first two weeks so he's getting sold anyway, lol.

I filled in my defense last so I basically just got whoever I could afford. I'm going to look at them more carefully before this Saturday. Thanks for the input

[Martyn]

Good luck tomorrow everyone :)

[Crazysah]

I think my team actually did pretty well. Can anyone tell me when the updates happen???

[FaRSightxc2]

Woo, joint first after one game....

Bloody AGES to go yet though!

[Martyn]

Standings so far:

Ha Ha, ta!

I won't be counting my chickens yet though - absolutely ages left to go!!!

Edit

Actually, I am not sure if this is allowed on Neowin, but if any of the older members of Neowin who are legally allowed to bet want to put a couple of quid on them winning then post here or contact me... :shifty:

I appologise if posting this is against neowin rules...but since the league is outside Neowin's juristiction then I hope it's ok!!!

Thats a good team, all in all, although I would probably have replaced Shearer with Ellington, Camara or Harewood and used the money to buy a chelsea defender because they are more or less garenteed to keep clean sheets!

But yeah - a very good team, that!

Well 2nd round of Prem games almost done, whoever has Darren Bent and Jermaine Defoe are leading for sure, good shizzle!
