I had a hard time picking a team and a team name...so I went for something cheesy! I also hate how you have to pick your favourite team, I don't support an English Club (But now it looks like I support Everton

).

Here is the table for anyone who cannot be bothered to log in:
1) 0 40 = Woodhouse Wanderers (Dan Woodhouse) 2)
0 32 = Red Elite FC (
Jaime Jan)
3)
0 24 = Warrington Wolves (
Matt Lister)
4)
0 19 = Reebok Rangers (
Sean Wilkins)
4)
0 19 = Rob FC (
Rob Lord)
6)
0 15 = The Niners (
Christopher Ince)
7) 0 14 = Brilliant Barr's (Scott Barr)
?)
0 00 = Choppa's Champions (
Laura Linfoot) [Hasn't played yet]
So Dan has 40 points at the top

. The best in the UK has 68 at the moment. Sean and I are tied in fourth place at the moment. I will be quite happy to update this post every week if you want. The first number shown is the positions. The numbers with the strikes through them are that persons score for the previous week and the bold number is their current score.

Click on the My Team link along the right hand side, then there are yellow icons with a down arrows on them next to each of your players.
Click on one or more of those and then your subs will have green up arrows which you then can click on, when you've chosen the player(s) you want to place into your team a click button will be displayed to confirm your team changes.

And it's the points you've accrued so far that game week, ie so far this week I've got 45 points for Gameweek 3!
