oh eck, got to weigh up the fact i'm going holiday actually so won't be able to adjust my team for next week

Dunno about the rest of you but I can't get into this site. First it's on a go-slow, then it tells me the email and password I copied direct from their confirmation mail are wrong.

Probably find I've got my reserve keeper down as captain...

[hucks]

Glad it's not just me, then. I want to make a few last minute changes. Keep the squad on their toes. Stop complacency from creeping in.

[Tentative Andy]

Yeah site has been bolloxed for me to, so fingers crossed and hoping for the best this afternoon.

Two injured and one suspension FFS


None of the points have been updated yet

[crackerjack]

Just managed to log on. Seems the site is playing its own game of fantasy football - Suarez is now an Arsenal player, Ashley Cole has moved to WBA, the City players are all lining up for Bolton etc etc

And Odemwinge is my skipper, which is ideal, as he's only up against Man U.

Send me your log-in Don Q, I'll change it for you. *Buys Joe Cole, Aquilani, Michael Essien...*

Where's good to get the starting 11s each week?

nowhere really - guardian does prjected line-ups, but is often wrong. bbc is more accurate with injury news, but does its preview pages around friday lunch and doesn't update until the team is announced

if you can be arsed, twitter feeds would probably be good (local journalists, fansites etc) tho that's way beyond my limit

[Tentative Andy]

Bolton looks like it could be a good result for me, fingers crossed.
My squad (footie experts feel free to mock):
Gkp - Foster
Def - Skrtel
Def - Evra
Def - Cahill
Def - Hughes
Mid - Yaya Toure
Mid - N'zogbia
Mid - Nasri
Mid - Modric
Fwd - Rodallega
Fwd - Odemwingie
Subs are Al-Habsi, Distin, Jarvis, Gyan

I think the site will tell you if you click on the little blue/red i box beside the player
