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.
Well let me first say this... GET YOU WITH YOUR NEW BLOG TEMPLATE!!! Lol... :-)
Secondly...
There are some good players in your team, like Van der Sar, Fabregas, Ronaldo - even Finnan and Lescott.
Sadly for you though, Van Persie's early form has dried up and Owen, as we know, has only been scoring on the odd occasion this season.
You might be alright in the end and I wish you well, but I'd say 'get rid of Geremi and quick!' That'd be my first priority!

haha I need to work on my template a bit. it's all very squished.
It's all gone a bit wrong... I have two (possibly 3) people I need to switch out and I can't afford anyone better haha
