[BlueStorm]

Have to say the A League website has improved this year and are first with the teams:

I am off to read...

[BlueStorm]

As usual, light on for actual info as to who will actually be playing this weekend, but a few points to note:

To all those looking at Broadfoot as the bench striker, pick again - Chris BROADFOOT (ankle injury â€" 6 weeks)

Colosimo & Bolton expected to miss the next 2.
Fat Cat (Hernandez) misses this week with Costa Rican duty, and may struggle to get back in the starting line up depending on the Victory performance this weekend.

22. Mustafa AMINI (Groin â€" 4 weeks)

Major - Nigel BOOGAARD (ankle â€" 4 weeks) Lucky you have yourself a back-up plan  ;)

[McRooster]

No sign of Minniecon either???

I'm going to take into the season Taggart from Perth Glory instead as my 100k fwd - at least he's named (albeit with 5 to come out)  :P

Wait and see on Minnie the Moocher (not listed as injured either), could be a nice downgrade target if Taggs gets a run  :-\

[BlueStorm]

Wouldn't stress it too much Rooster. You are not planning on playing your 3rd forward anyway. Minniecon will get a run at sometime, which is more than I see for Taggart.

I probably waited too long to make a team so will now! I know nothing about the A-League so will have to look at the previews for teams and lists and whatnots!

Roost reminded me :P.

[MajorLazer]

Thanks BS. Lucky lockout hasn't happened yet.

[Justin Bieber]

Well my first crack at a team with no knowledge on who will be playing :P.

GK: Ryan
DEF: Wilkinson, Vargas, Stefanutto, Hamill
MID: Hernandez (C), Caravella, McGlinchey, Dodd
FWD: Williams, Allsopp
Bench: Necevski, Mitchell, Broadfoot, Slory

Read through the thread and picked up some hints. Threw in some of my Favs in Vargas and Williams (Fave A-League Player :-*). Might check up on that blog suggested earlier (http://www.fantasyhal.com.au).

[MajorLazer]

David Williams is AWESOME! :P

My favourite A league player as well.

[Justin Bieber]

Well, Williams is now relegated to shortlist :(.

Made a new team thanks to some tips from Fantasyhal (AWESOME Blog).

GK: Ryan
DEF: Rose, D Mullen, Franjic, Rozic
MID: Fred, Meyer, Broich (C), McGlinchey
FWD: Cazarine, van Dijk
Bench: Gould, Hamill, Slory, Broadfoot

Broich and van Dijk in cause some reliance on cheap players. 25k left over.

[MajorLazer]

My team now

Necevski (Will be Covic)
Rose, Mullen, Traore
McGlinchey, Slory, Paartalu, Fred, Dodd
Williams, Smeltz

Thomas, Minniecon, Antonis, Hingert

Better or worse?

[MajorLazer]

Covic is in the game and is worth 150k. That's a good price for him.

[Jake8]

BS and others this is my final team. Yay or Nay
Covic(Tyson)
Traore,I Franjic,Rose,Mullen(Hamill)
Nichols,Fred,Kewell(Haliti,Slory)
A Thompson,Djite,Williams
Just did Ryan to Covic,Mcglinchey to Nichols,Allsopp to Thompson and Vargas to Rose.

[BlueStorm]

Like it Jake! All those changes make perfect sense to me and strengthen the team considerably.

Alsopp not likely to start for Victory so anyone holding him might want to think again.

And apologies Voldemort - your man Germano from Heart looks like starting tomorrow night, so may as well stick with him.  ::)

[Jake8]

BS do u have a link of all the line ups for this week?

[MajorLazer]

I've changed my team around way too much, but here it is, hopefully my final team.

Covic (Zois)
Rose, Marrone, Traore (Antonis, Hingert)
Miller, Slory, Broich, Fred, Meyer
van Dijk, Smeltz (Ibini-Isei)
