[The Old TomCat]

I'm in.
So far 41 managers have entered this mini-league so it should be very competitive.
The winner will not only have to know his football but have a fair bit of luck during the season.
I never get that luck or am any good with my football knowledge, but I can guarantee that I will not be in bottom place. (Near it but not last)

[The Old TomCat]

Start of Gameweek 2 and The Old TomCat is top of table.
But don't worry I always start off well and go down the table week by week.
But it's fun to be there for even for the single week.
Good luck to all my fellow managers.
Tom

[Shade]

As long as you refer to yourself in the third person as often as possible I will love it. I'm not joking. It was one of the highlights of last season. Shade said it so it's true.

[The Old TomCat]

The Old TomCat has dropped down to 6th with one of the leagues poorer results.
His only consolation is that his team remains near the top out of a huge 62 player mini-league.

Shade, Regret not joined your Dream Team league but I'm in so many different competitions that I've got to concentrate on them.
Not sure which is your team? but I look forward to the personal competition with you after the fun we had last year on The Golden Parrot.

[The Old TomCat]

The Old TomCat continues his decline down The Robin's Nest mini-league despite obtaining a creditable above average score of 52 points.
The average score for the entire league this week was 44 points yet those pussycats dropped two places.
In fact there was only two teams in the top 20 that failed to achieve this total. And one of them is a late gatecrasher.
So I'm not too unhappy with my teams current position. I had three Chelsea players in my 15 so could not afford any major slip-ups.
Fortunately Williams (Swansea) was forecast as doubtful to play but I was forced to use him and he gained me the most individual points.
