Hmm, am I the only one using **** subs?
No I'm the same. I've got Foley? and someone called something like moyokolo 'cos that's all I could afford after my starting 11
Think they're both wolves.

Not a great idea. Did you play last season? You'll regularly need to use your subs, so much so I don't really see them as "subs". It really doesn't take long before injuries and random drops/rests make it hard to field a playing 11 when you've got cheap subs.
That's what the transfer's are all about
Having loads of talent on your bench just confuses things especially when you've got players on your bench that do better than those who are in you're team - worst form of torture that!
My bench consists of Parnaby & Ferguson of Birmingham, Foley of Wolves (2 defenders and a midfielder) and my sub keeper Carson of West Brom
That's the only clues you're getting about my team though

You only get 1 free a week, and you'll want to use those more tactically than just replacing injured/resting players. Plus you won't know if a player's being rested until it's too late
.Anyone who played last season will remember the winter freeze and how fielding even 5/6 players was a struggle, let alone if 3 of your squad are subs for their clubs.
You'll also want to keep your good players on the bench sometimes too. For example, why would you play a Man U defender when they're playing Chelsea, when your Stoke guy is playing West Brom. Good team doesn't guarantee a good result

^ Russ speaks the truth, there was a period where I had like maximum 8 players playingI cried. Twice.
Bite the bullet and dock yourself some points then, you look at the very highest scorers world wide every season and they can make 4/5 transfers a week and it pays off for them

Great, I'd dropped himThink that was me earlier but I read today (Metro), he is back at the training ground already (I presume light training).
.Having keeper re-thoughts. At the moment got Gomes and Robinson, opinions please ladies?
I've gone for Foster & Carson
Personally I dont see the point in spending loads of money on a keeper, it's almost always the cheapest ones that get the most points as well
06/07 David James
07/08 Mark Schwarzer
08/09 Thomas Sorensen
All 3 were great buys for me

Me too but you get unlimited free transfers until first GW closes. Got him back in for the moment until team news comes out a day of two before kick off.
