APL Round 7 - Already sick of Internationals!!

[CrowsFan]

Yep another international week has passed us by and so we are back with what is important... The APL! ;D  This is the last round of the first set and so after this we will have all played each other once. Then it will be in to the first round of the cup over the next 2 weeks. I bet everyone is excited :D

The big question however this week is will MTTY name a squad? He missed out last round, which ended up with him suffering a 22 point loss, and has also gone missing over in the BXV competition. Do we need to start searching for a replacement if he continues to be AWOL?

Round 7 Fixtures
Scaling Saints vs The Flippin' Pancakes @ The Dental Clinic
KKS United vs The Brown Trumpets @ Spin-Kick Arena
YNWA Warriors vs The Casserole Kids @ YNWA Park
Goodfellas vs Blue Mountain State @ Old Trafford


Trade Cut Off Point
For players to be eligible for round 2 they mus be traded in to your team before midnight Thursday 18th October. Trades after this wont be eligible until the following round.

Team Submission
Your team sheet must be submitted in this thread no later than midnight Friday 19th October. If your team is not submitted then your team from last week will be used. Team structure is identical to the official game and must be adhered to. This means:
•   The starting 11 must have ONLY 1 keeper named
•   The starting 11 must have AT LEAST 3 defenders named
•   The starting 11 must have AT LEAST 1 forward named
•   The bench must be named in order of your preferred replacements, starting with your reserve keeper, and followed by the remaining 3 players.

Good luck everyone :)

Thank God for this. I was having APL withdrawals hahah!

Here we go:

The Flippin' Pancakes (monstrum & elephants)

GK: Pepe Reina
DEF: David Luiz, John Arne Riise, Kieran Gibbs
MID: Clint Dempsey, Theo Walcott, Gervinho, Steven Pienaar
FWD: Fernando Torres, Demba Ba (VC), Nikica Jelavic (C)

Mark Schwarzer, Steven Taylor, Gaston Ramirez (inj.), John Terry (susp.)

[elephants]

John Terry has to decide whether he is challenging his racial abuse charge or accepting it by 6pm tomorrow. That puts it past the deadline... Come on John, make up your mind now!

[CrowsFan]

He shouldn't challenge. He was lucky to just get 4 games ::)

He shouldn't challenge. He was lucky to just get 4 games ::)

I know, said the to my mate as well. Means he misses matches against Spurs, Manure (x2) and Swansea. If he challenges and loses he only misses another match which is against Liverpool.

If Gary Cahill wasn't such quality back-up then I wouldn't be surprised if he did contest.

[BoredSaint]

GK: Ben Foster
DEF: Kyle Walker (vc), Joleon Lescott, Martin Skrtel, Ryan Shawcross,
MID: David Silva, Frank Lampard (c), Stephane Sessegnon, Wayne Routledge
FWD: Danny Welbeck, Danny Graham
Bench: Ali Al-Habsi, James Morisson, Ashley Williams, Steven Naismith

Really need to fix this team up :-\

[Jukes]

My showerty team that are all flowering useless Goodfellas
Vorm
Evra, Mertesacker, Rangel, Hangeland
Kagawa, Felliani, Johnson
Aguero, Van Persie, Fletcher

Subs: Krul; 1. Kompany, 2. Cabaye, 3. Walters

Captain is RVP (which means he'll start on the bench obviously), vice-captain is Stevie Fletcher.

WHAT THE flower.

Gaston Ramirez now out for six weeks and Kieran Gibbs likely to miss. BS in well and truly in with a chance and I would argue he goes in favourite...

In comes Theo for Ramirez and I think I will leave Gibbsy on the ground JIC and make Steven Taylor 1st emg.

Will Berba play?

No MTTY or DG. Not happy >:(

Not going to keep running the game if people don't enter teams each week, it really doesn't feel worth it... :(

[elephants]

DG was on the day after you posted this thread.

MTTY hasn't been on for 10 days.

It's slightly concerning...

:(

Maybe we should bring in a rule of sacking if you don't enter a team 3 weeks in a row?
