I ditched Berbatov too...
I was a bit shocked when I checked the state of my team Saturday morning. I hadn't even read the results of last Wednesday's English games yet and found out that I couldn't even field 11 active players for this weekend's matches! My team had 2 red card suspensions(!), 1 leg injury, 1 groin injury, 1 hamstring injury and 1 ankle injury. On top of that I had 1 player who hadn't played at all in the first 2 weeks and 1 who had only played 17 minutes. I figured I'd better play my wild card on the transfer market already. A bit of a waste this early in the season, but OK. I only had about 15-20 minutes left before the deadline though, so I didn't think too much about my new transfers and just did some panic buys. I ended up with no less than 8 transfers. It was worth it still because I had 46 points this week against... I don't know, maybe just 15(?) during the last week.
It was silly of me to already start the season with two injured and one doubtful player. I figured as long they're on the bench then it doesn't matter, but I should've read the rules beforehand. I didn't know you got a free transfer every week and hadn't read about the automatic substitutions part... so injured players potentially will cost you points, even when they're just on the bench.
Anyway, the most important thing is that Feyenoord won yesterday.
