Final Week of The Season |
There are a few notable dates , the prime one being the transfer window evening on Saturday 11th February at the Judes Ferry . All managers will be given an additional £50 million to revamp their squads , in order to do this I shall need to know which players you are getting rid of by the 7th February at the very latest , this shall allow time to compile a new list of available players , also please indicate whether you will be attending . Anyone not attending will be able to pick up new players on a first come first served basis over the next few days following the transfer evening . It will be presumed that anyone not advising of which players they wish to dump by 7th February are happy with their team and wish it stay unchanged . You can let me know which players you wish to get rid of , via Facebook message , email paulbutcher66@aol.com , text 07402073452 , or if you are really in touch with modern technology you can always write a list and give it to me .
If you are looking for guidance on who to buy and who to get rid of , don’t ask me , but please remember it is not just about new players entering the market , you may be interested to know that out of the 165 players that we picked between us , in the region of 20% were unavailable in last weekends games due to injury .
Eight of the new sides first action will be in the knock out cup quarter final a week after the transfer window . The draw for the quarter final shall take place on the evening of the transfers .
Following last weeks games things have become much clearer as we approach the final weekend of phase three .
In the Elite League Stalker is definitely safe , and it is highly unlikely that Boz shall face the drop into the Premier . Rob is relegated having not won a game yet in this phase , and he shall be joined by Rick . That is unless Rick can record a big win over Stalker .
The Premiership as per usual is much less clear cut , albeit Nick and Buger are both relegated to the Chumpionship . As far as promotion goes Bruce Richardson shall definitely be playing in the Elite next time around , as things stand at the moment Callum is in the second spot , however he could be overtaken if Dicko can manage a draw against the league leader .
Big Jim shall be playing Premier next time following his promotion , who goes up with him , it could be any one of Ady , Nini and Rich .
LAST WEEK’S RESULTS
The strangest thing about last week’s results was the effect a ‘bye’ week can have on a side . The Elite saw Stalker scoring forty-one points which would have afforded him four goals , thus getting a minimum of a draw had he played , likewise Dicko recorded forty points in the Premiership and would have beaten anyone else in his league . On the other hand Nini in the Chumpionship recorded four points and would therefore have lost against any opposition .
