I picked Aguero! Damn it! I feel an early transfer coming on...

This isn't going so well for me this year. Early days, though.

I'm having a mare. Wildcard activated already, ffs.
You're doing better than me and I thought I was doing okay (especially since I only have partial understanding of the rules).
I've made it harder for myself by refusing to have any United or Chelsea players but buying f**king Song didn't help - and I also had aguero like Ricketts. Somehow I think I didn't do the transfer thing right as it cost me 8 pts.
The real question is how on earth is Dan doing so well...

Who are you Shaggy? In fact who the hell are all these people in the BCG league? Why didn't they use their forum names? I can only spot Gerry, Don, Dan and Steve.

I like your style

If you're planning on making a few changes, you can use your wildcard to avoid losing any points (you can make unlimited transfers that gameweek). You're probably better saving it until later in the season to take advantage of any double game weeks or such though, if you have the patience to wait that long.
Thanks Gerry. I only had a few minutes the other day to dump Song and Aguero - I also got rid of Albrighton but I don't think I needed to - is that right? He would have been subbed automatically.
Yep, if a player takes no part in a game, one of your subs comes in for him, but you're probably wise transferring Albrighton out, he faces another month on the treatment table:

These links of yours are quite useful... I see Odemwingie is suffering from a 'knock'. Must remember that next time I need a couple of weeks off work.
Out of interest can you put some forum names to the others in the BCG league? Are they lurkers or what?
I'm last. I think.

My team is Royston Vasey FC.

Yes, you're just under me, darling. 
I've made some panic transfers this week. No doubt they'll be disasters. Still waiting for Aguero to come back from injury and lift me above Shaggy.
Sorry Ben but you've got no chance with Jermain Defoe up front. And who the f**k is Dong-Won Ji?
Can't believe I spent 8pts getting rid of Song and Aguero and now Modric is gone too. F**king deadbeats.

I've been playing since Fantasy Football started way back in '95 (or something)
Plus I finished about 450th out of the whole 2 million players two or three years back.
Basically, you spend 10 years thinking about which players are the most important and fact is none of them are: it's the fixtures that week that are important

Transfer made, team picked.
now let's start climbing that table again

Good luck Steve. Great name by the way.

This confirms what I feared - that you have to understand football to do well. Oh well. 450th out of 2 million is fantastic BTW.

No answer on this. No-one put a name any of these f**ks? Don't see why they should play in the league if they can't be arsed to post or identify themselves.
