Looks like I've got 3 home games in hand over Fab and Jack so hopefully my title challenge isn't quite over yet. Having said that my away form (av 2pts per game) is better than my home (about 1.5). Still need fab's machine to break down though!

Cheers mate.

Also just wondering what the deal is with new signings in the January transfer market? Are they added straight to the game or all added when the window closes?

I usually add player at the start of each week. So it'll usually be Sunday or Monday they will appear. It might be worth PMing me though if there is a player who I haven't added as I might've forgotten or missed them. I'll post any that I do add, in the thread.

Ha. Yeah. I think the only thing that you can really gage from the Home and Away form tables is I didn't distribute the fixtures very evenly. Lesson for next year. Also, it doesn't seem that playing away is much of a disadvantage, so might make the difference in targets a little more significant next year.

I had no idea I'd played so many home fixtures, 12 of my first 19 matches!

Also season, can you add the excess cash and update the players just out of contract please.

5 days after I was on the verge of swapping Walcott it's announced that he'll miss the rest of the season.

My luck seems to somehow get worst?

Also I'm looking for a swap for Santon (regular for Newcastle and good record) right about now and also Boruc, who is back from injury in the next week or two I think and should be back to regular for Southampton, he was brilliant before the injury and had a fantastic record. PM on the site if interested.

Peter Crouch up for sale or swap this week.

Sorry I'm a bit late on this. I've been really busy last few days. Just sorting it.

Can't believe how cheaply I got Berbatov

Especially after the money spent on Fernandinho and Henderson the other week!

Ahh crap. I was going to outbid you just to stop that happening, but I just assumed someone else would be interested.

Looking to sort out deals for Zabaleta and Lukaku tonight. PM me with any offers.

Me too, I was expecting it to go into double figures at the very least.

Only had a few players play so far but what a start to the week!

My whole team are just on fire at the moment

Defences are definitely on top this week. I really need to buy a few more midfielders.

Just when I lose patience with Valencia, he pops up with a goal

I can't believe this one. It's less than 48 hours after I signed him. Again like Michu and RVP he was carrying an injury, but that's just silly for him to be out for that long. I'll be lucky to hold on to top half at this rate.

If it makes you feel better if you'd managed to make your Hernandez offer last week as planned I'd of picked up Adam Johnson for free.

I'd rather that have happened than Barkley get injured 2 days after I sign him. I might have to release him as well. It's going to be a long one surely.

I'm not around tonight, so the site will not be updated till tomorrow for tonight's game or players being released or new players being added.

Tough run of fixtures this. Yakutz twice, Bally, Charlie, Season and now a huge match against Jack next week. That's the top 6 all in succession!

Thanks for including me in the tough list. Hopefully I'll have more than 4 attacking players by then.

Anyone putting in a bid for Relegation Roger

Just so people know how the contracts will work at the end of the season. Currently the average wage for a player is set for 13 weeks, but when we get to 12 weeks it will reduce to 12 weeks, 11 weeks to 11 weeks, etc. It's a few weeks till this happens, but essentially at the end of the season all contracts will run to 11 May and cost the same as a 13 week contract now. It's to stop everyone getting players really cheap with say a few weeks to go. I think I explained this at the start of the year, but cannot remember.
