And by football, I mean real football.
The English Premiere League has a fantasy league, and I decided to join this year. A little late. In Matchweek 5, but hey, better late than never. So, this is my lineup going into my first matchweek:
Goalkeeper: Cech (Chelsea)
Defender: Johnson (Liverpool), Upson (West Ham), Shorey (Aston Villa), Shawcross (Stoke City)
Midfielder: Lampard (Chelsea), Cattermole (Sunderland), Diaby (Arsenal), Bowyer (Birmingham)
Forward: Rooney (Manchester United), Drogba (Chelsea)
Subs:
Goalkeeper: Foster (Manchester United)
Defender: Bikey (Burnley)
Midfielder: Hunt (Hull City)
Forward: Keogh (Wolverhampton)
I hoped that this lineup was okay, except I noticed that Diaby scored an own goal in Matchweek 4. Still, I stuck with this lineup through the week. I didn't do too bad for not knowing who most of these players are. I scored 49 points this week. That has me at 11,864 out of 69,077 who signed up this week, and 1,907,607 overall out of 1,979,085.
My only concern this week is that Shorey didn't play this week, and looks like he has been relegated to the substitutes for Aston Villa. So I may transfer him before Matchweek 6. Looking at Ab Faye (Stoke City) to take his place. I think it would be a good trade, and actually save me some payroll to boot.
My club name? Blue Albatross FC. I even get to design my own kit. I chose solid blue shirt, with white sleeves, white shorts, and black socks. I'll have to do up a graphic to add here.
So let's have a cheer, shall we? AAAAAAAAAAL-batross!
