Fantasy Team: Why the fuck do I have Michael Owen.
Now, let me explain that this is the stupidest fantasy league among the 3 I pay attention to (I have a premierleague.com team that's middling and a yahoo team that's like 90th percentile--don't hate). It is also the highest stakes because it's the one that my local does and you win shit--I mean stuff. 
Anyway, you get 55 million pounds and only 20 transfers a year (which is why I'm riding out the RVP injury). You get 3 points for an goal 2 points for an assist and a complicated system with defenders (1 point for 60 minutes on and 2 points for a clean sheet and minus 1 point for the second goal conceded and every goal thereafter). Pick a captain and their points are doubled.
There are no points for tackles or balls won or anything else, so it's really hard to get a good team because obviously the goal scorers are expensive. You hope for some dark horses like Petrov (MC) or Elano. Of course they've done SFA since I put them on.
I had a really good week this week because of fucking Cristiano Ronaldo my captain--from three people. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU WIN. I mean I'm still doing really well locally and I'm also winning the Philly Scouse Contingent mini league, but I'm really ashamed of my team. If I could get more than 20 transfers I'd put Almunia in goal and get rid of Owen and Geremi. I think I put them in after a bad injury week and Newcastle must have had a decent week--but I'm not sure when that is.
I'm sorry I subjected you to my shitty team.
