During the previous years of playing I was working regular hours (or not at all) so had the time to do those last minute transfers after seeing the team sheets, and had set up a pretty comprehensive Excel document to deal with all the info so I knew exactly what players were in each of the 20 teams I'd picked etc.
A bit of luck involved obviously but that level of attention is needed to get your teams into the top 10% as there are a lot of serious players around.
This year I'm winging it just using the web site as I never seem to have the time to set up the Excel spreadsheet and having to use this crap laptop is a pain :)
This years teams are doing reasonable with the top team in around 2,500th place with no transfers made (there are around 250,000 teams in the competition).
I've gone heavy on Man U and City players so that's worked out well so far although most teams have either Rooney or Agruero I don't think I've got both in any team :(
My worst team has Fernando Torres as the striker?? proving that taking chances doesn't always work :)
I think I might drop a few places this week as I missed the transfer deadline again, there was a chance to dump a few under performers before the big teams played today :(
Best Team so far -
Top points - Rooney, Nani, Young.
Worst - Malouda, Brunt, Kompany
Worst team so far -
Top points - Bent, Collins, Hart, Arshavin.
Worst - Surman, Torres, Riise
