lol too true i think i may have rushed the formation bit. and Ronaldo and J Cole are interchangable aswell.

Galvasean

Bungalow Bill.
Play3's is pretty good too.

Bounty Hunter

if he had selected a RB i would have voted for Genericgoon instead its Bungalow Bill and his Villa connection Laursen and Young FTW

Genericgoon by a nose from Bungalow Bill. Playa3 has the most brittle lineup I've ever seen!

genericgoon played a clever game by tapping into the man utd and liverpool fans market by having Ronaldo and Torres

Yeah i know, went for all the injury prone players as i figured people wouldnt go for them:D Still its all about the quality of the team, not if they can ever play a match:p

Pepe LeFrits

genericgoon's 4-5-1

Have a sympathy vote playa3!

To be fair, that team would zipp the ball about the park beautifully, the back five is well solid and the strike pairing, if fit, would be lethal.

Melion

genericgoon's 4-5-1

I went for playa3

Vokes

Assuming no injuries, and every player is playing well, and taking into account the systems used...then Bungalow Bill's and playa3's teams look to be the frontrunners.

genericgoon hands down.

Necronomicon

In fairness, genericgoon whipped us. I can't believe he sneaked in Ronaldo at the last minute! Good game.

Melion's 4-2-3-1

genericgoon by a long margin, as the poll shows, I like playa3's squad aswell

I dont understand though, how was the game played?

Mad_Max

genericgoon for me too, although honorable mention to playa3! Carragher is the only pick i dont like in genericgoon's.

I think Bungalow bills would be great if Ronaldo was on the Right and Young on the left with Rooney being the support striker or Torres.

edit: lol didnt see the rules.

Wooo third place!:D
I'm just glad i got some votes, although in all honesty genericgoon definitely has the best team, how the feck he managed to get Ronaldo and Torres i don't know.

genericgoon

Melion's 4-2-3-1

Well I was going for the 4-5-1 (of the Liverpool/conservative Man United mould) from the start, so I decided to go for Torres upfront as hes probably the best lone CF in the PL on this seasons form. So I went for him first round Ronaldo was a cheeky punt at the end. I actually want Essien instead of Makelele but people kept bidding for him.

Genericgoon is defo the best. Bills team was close tho,Fact that he got torres n roni is rather shocking. Kinda weird how each team reflects the bias ppl have towards there own supported team though.

Yeah me neither! I didn't put in particularly great players at the start because I thought they'd all be taken.

Ugh I've 3 City players, perish the thought!

Good game though, I'd like to see it maybe as a weekly thing or something on a larger scale.

It needs a bit of refinement, I think limiting people to one bid per player (so you can't repeatedly try and get the same players) would make it a bit more tactical, and make it a bit more difficult to forge a strong team.
