Fantasy Football Disaster

Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Darren Fletcher, Ben Foster, Jermain Defoe, Layton Baines – All in my Squad, All very unlikely to play at all this weekend.. The problem stemmed from moving house and having no internet connection for the best part of 3 weeks. Being so busy at work, I do not have time to tinker with my side in work. Only a couple of days ago, I got internet at my new place – thank the lord!
So now it’s damage limitation time. Because I’ve not made any transfers the last 2 weeks, I get 2 free transfers this week – however, that’s not enough, I need a minimum of 3 I reckon, to at least have 11 valid players in my side. So I bit the bullet and made 3 transfers at a cost of 4 precious points – I’m not happy about that, but what can I do.. Because of the last 2 weeks, I’m currently lying in mid-table obscurity, and even Jeremy has overtaken me – dammit!.

Anyway, here’s my side for this weekends fixtures..

I’ve still kept in Fletcher, I doubt he’ll play but if he doesn’t Rodwell will slide into his place. Ben Foster and Jermain Defoe are relegated to the subs bench – I need to get rid of Foster though at some point, while Van Der Sar is fit, Foster won’t get a game (possibly).

Apart from Fantasy Football, there is one VERY BIG game on this weekend – Manchester United travel to Anfield for the Battle of the titans once again. Liverpool, having done the double on us last season and like my Fantasy Football team they are lying in mid-table obscurity right now, will once again have a point to prove against us, especially as we pipped them to the title last year – to equal their ancient history of 18 league titles – they have never won a title in the modern game.. What’s the only ship that hasn’t docked in Merseyside? The Premiership
