What, how and why

I will send out another copy of the rules with week 1's scores but the following is the transfer rule.

You get 12 transfers to make during the season, no restriction on how many players from each Premiership team. Just stick to the GBP 50 million limit and either a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formation plus a 'keeper. The deadline is Tuesday at 5pm. Email me to make a change at:

I will email back with confirmation.

The links on the right hand side are there to help you and / or pass away the insurance day. The first one of course is my blog about life in Bermuda. Below that are numerous websites that should help you with transfers. Whose injured, whose good, whose rubbish, news of any transfer activity, odds and which games are coming up live on the television. No excuses.

The next section will give you all the latest news from a number of websites, even from those clubs like mine who are insignificent! Plus the FIFA website keeps you up to date of the 2010 world cup qualifying.

Then there is a selection of websites that I like, take a look there is some good reading. And finally the Road to Wembley started last Saturday with the Extra Preliminary Round. For the newbies we pick a team from this round and follow them throughout the 16 rounds of the most famous cup competition in the world. If our boys lose, we then inherit the winners in the next round and so on.

After previous years plumping for teams such as Cadbury, Newport Pagnell, Romford, Odd Down and most famously Dunston Federation Brewery, who were our most successful first pick, this season I have plumped for Oxhey Jets, who are based in Herts. Some of you may know them. They are in the Spartan South East Midlands Premier League in the 5th rung of the football league pyramid. They won on Saturday and we'll be back with more on them shortly.
