we got a league going here at work with SKY SPORTS
(also free - but we all chipped in a tenner)

i am currently leading by 20 points and i have just 1 transfer left.
(thanks to Torres last night)

bloke in 2nd has used all his up
3rd place is too far behind (i hope)

i have petrov (avl) and murphy (ful) in midfield as my 'cheapo-make-up-the number players'

was thinking of bringing in Osman (eve) in place of murphy, simply because Everton have 1 extra game to play (against chelsea tonight) and they get 1pt just for playing
Osman has 4 goals and 4 assists - 6 games to play
Murphy has 4 goals and 4 assists - 5 games to play

OR

i could bring in Matty Taylor (Bol) in place of Petrov
Taylor has 10 goals and 5 assists this year - 5 games to play
Petrov has 1 goal and 3 assists - 5 games to play

OR

Peter Crouch in place of Robbie Keane (2nd place fella also has Keane), again simply beacuse Portsmouth have 1 extra game (albeit against ManU tonight)
Crouch has 10 goals and 5 assists - 6 games to play
Keane has 8 goals and 7 assists - 5 games to play

i reckon to get full value from this final transfer, with 5 or 6 matches to go, now is about the right time to use it

FA Cup and ECL games do not count


any advice would be greatly appreciated......

I would take Osman, Taylor and Keane

But i can only do 1 of those......

i'm leaning towards Taylor, but thinking Bolton have ntg to play for

if i go with Osman, u know that Everton still have something to play for - or does it mnatter not if they come 5th or 6th ?

balls... so my cunning plan has fell at the first hurdle....

petrov - keep him. villa have a right shower of 5hit to play.
bolton. hull, fulham, boro and the (car)toon army

bring in osman.

crouch is a donkey. stick with keane. if second has keane you don't want him to see him banging the goals in. spurs have 2 easy home games with 3 tough away ones. pompey are plain 5hite

stoke got 4 points off villa.. .that's about all you need to know

getting crouch though... he never scored for about 3 months. there again i suppose he didn't give a 5hit as he had miss clancy to go home to!

petrov OUT - taylor IN
OR
murphy OUT - osman IN

too right. that's priceless!
petrov... you know it makes sense!
might be worth checking out the yellow card situation / injuries etc. don't want any suspensions!

good point - will do
i'm still not convinced about petrov
he hasnt got me many goals or assists...

Villa have been attrocious recently, second bottom of the form table over the last 8 weeks.

They have blown 4th but have qualified for Europe. Not sure how they will play over the next few games. I remember Spurs after the Carling Cup last season.

You got Ireland in your team? he has been on fire recently
