ROUND 1
Szczesny
Vertonghen - Ivanovic - Rafael
Hazard (VC) - Valencia - Toure - Michu (C)
Bent - Lambert - Defoe

Subs: Given, Nolan, Fox, Johnson

Probably should go with Hazard as captain, but I can't go past Michu playing at home against West Ham, he could put on another clinic! Although more likely is he will be subbed after 45 minutes without doing anything... Hoping Vertonghen and Rafael get games this week, will be disappointed if they don't. Apart from that the team looks pretty strong, and I'm very happy with how I drafted :)

Flippin' Pancakes

Mark Schwarzer

John Terry, David Luiz, Kieran Gibbs, John Arne Riise

Theo Walcott(C), Steven Pienaar, Matt Jarvis

Fernando Torres(VC), Demba Ba, Nikica Jelavic

Subs: Pepe Reina, Steven Taylor, Lucas Leiva and Clint Dempsey (someone find this douche a home!!)

Ok so a couple of issues from this first round of team submission.

1. MTTY - You didn't name a captain or vice captain. Because of this they have been automatically allocated to be Bale as captain, Podolski as VC.

2. BS - You have the same problem as MTTY, very disappointing considering you played this last season. Your captain is Silva and your VC is Lampard.

3. LE/monstrum - Your team was submitted after midnight, so it is ineligible. Your team has been automatically selected and it looks like this...

Reina
Terry - Luiz - Taylor
Dempsey (VC) - Walcott - Lucas - Pienaar
Torres (C) - Ba - Jelavic

Subs: Schwarzer, Riise, Gibbs, Song

Also your trade of Song to Jarvis was not completed before the deadline, so that trade is not eligible until next round, meaning Song is still in your team for this round.

Everything is now sorted. Please remember guys to submit your teams correctly in the future :)

I reckon you should give le and mons a break, it's only the first week.

[CrowsFan]

They've had since monday to post a team. I'm not changing rules because it was the first week. It was clearly explained what would happen if they didn't post a team

[Jukes]

Fair enough I tried :3

[MTTY]

Ah sorry CF, thought i named a C and VC. I'll make sure to do it next time.  :)

[CrowsFan]

Fair enough I tried :3

Very gallant of you ;)

[elephants]

flower. Had the most intense week and wasn't sure how to get this trading thing started... Mons is away so I forgot it was up to me...

Rules are rules though so there is nothing I can do ::)

Score updates after Saturdays games...

Scaling Saints - 22/6. Silva (C), Lescott, Skrtel, Downing and Shawcross to play.
vs
The Brown Trumpets - 29/8. Tevez (C), Hart and Cazorla to play.
Could come down to how the captains perform, but DG has the slight edge at the moment...

The Flippin' Pancakes - 50/7. Reina, Walcott, Lucas and Gibbs to play.
vs
The Casserole Kids - 15/7. Enrique, Zabaleta, Gerrard and Carroll to play.
MC has had a shocking round. LE picks up the first win for the Pancakes.

KKS United - 19/6. Suarez (C), Vermaelen, Agger, Nasri and Adam to play.
vs
Blue Mountain State - 57/9. Szczesny and Toure to play.
Can't see KKS United catching BMS now. Strong performances by Michu and Hazard set up the win.

YNWA Warriors - 32/9. Podolski and Giroud to play.
vs
Goodfellas - 62/9. Aguero and Kompany to play.
Looks like Jukes can mark this down as a win, unless Podolski and Giroud can both notch up hattricks...

[Jukes]

Aguero obviously not playing, so basically it's 63 and Kompany vs 32 and Podolski/Giroud /\

I had sessegnon on the field who isn't playing this week which means Naismith will come on. And he got an assist.
