It's surprising, isn't it? Somehow, I picked a team without knowing the players. Ok, I know who Quinn, Di Canio, Lennon, Scholes, and Izzet are. Still, I'm holding steady in 5th place with 14 points. Two other teams are right behind me with 13, though. Big Big day for transfers for my team. As you can see, I sold Pistone, Desailly, Nyarko, and Dodd; and bought in their place Ziege, Hyppia, Eustace, and Sharpe. Pistone was very doubtful, which means he'll probably get two goals, an assist, and a clean-sheet. Desailly. I never really liked him as a player, but thought at first why not. He's so far netted -2 points for the team. The midfield was already steady, if so far unproductive. But if Nyarko was going to languish on the bench indefinitely, why not transfer him out to get a cheaper player? Finally, Dodd plays for Southampton. Not good.
And now, after last weekend's shopping spree, the team netted but six points, if you take away Di Canio's goal since he was on my bench. Ziege is expected to start this week.

Brief Reason |
| 29.Aug |
Ferdinand | Sub | Atherton |
Atherton faces Man. U. this week away. Don't like the looks of it. |
| 29.Aug | Ziege | Sub | Sharpe |
Sharpe faces Man. U. this week away. Been waiting for Ziege. |
| 26.Aug | Di Canio | Sub | Roussel |
Should have stuck with Di Canio in the first place. So, why do I have a 5.9 million pound striker on the bench? |
| 26.Aug | Hyypia | $ | Desailly |
Don't like Chelsea or Desailly. How could Liverpool give up 3 goals? |
| 26.Aug | Sharpe | Sub | Ziege |
Ziege was not starting. |
| 26.Aug | Sharpe | $ | Dodd |
Which is why I traded for Sharpe. |
| 26.Aug | Ziege | $ | Pistone |
Pistone was injured, Ziege moved to Liverpool. Only found out he wasn't starting till later. |
| 26.Aug | Eustace | $ | Nyarko |
Needed money to buy Ziege. Eustace is 0.5 million cheaper and has positive points early in season. |
| 25.Aug | Atherton | Sub | Ferdinand |
West Ham was playing Man. U. and WHU don't look good. They drew, 2-2. |
| 25.Aug | Roussel | Sub | Di Canio |
Worst mistake I've made. Di Canio scored against Man. U. He's back starting. |
| 22.Aug | Hutchison | Sub | Nyarko |
Hutchison was back from injury. Better player. |
| 18.Aug | Atherton | $ | Lauren |
I was right. Atherton looked better. |
| 17.Aug | Lauren | $ | Batty |
Needed to replace Batty, out for season. Impetuous deal. |
| 17.Aug | Roussel | $ | Windass |
Can't remember why. Like Windass a lot, but also Roussel. |
| 17.Aug | A. Wright | $ | P. Neville |
Wright now has 5 points; Neville none. Good choice. |
