I would like to make a small change to the rules regarding the SPL. I had not realised how dominant Rangers and Celtic were in this league and those that have chosen both these teams will obviously do well. Can those players who have chosen Rangers AND Celtic, drop one and choose another SPL team please to make the league more interesting. Change to be made by Friday 12th please. Thanks.
I have to admit to an error on my part I picked Forest as one of my Championship teams so I will have to replace them with an actual championship team. Would Cardiff City be acceptable to everyone? Do I have to suffer a 10 point deduction for mis management....
Actually I did consider Luton as part of my original choice as they were quite free scoring last season. If others concur I can change it!
Now that all teams have played the same number of games here is the first score sheet of the league. Apologies for not doing one earlier but I was away. A fair range of scores, some embarrasing! Ties are ties, no alphabetical preference. Charlie is leading the way overall whilst NZ and I are causes for concern. It's good to have doubled our participants, all you have to do is sit back check how you are doing each week and let me know if you find any errors please.

As this is the first week I am posting my calculation of the scores. Please check your scores to see if I have constructed my spreadsheet correctly. Hope you can make sense of it as it does not copy well from Excell. Last line of your scores is your overall total.

Our new friend Musty is leading the way over all due to consistent performance in all leagues although he is being chased by Mark and Yorkie. The rest of us could do better, but early days (I hope). Sorry about no results last week but I was away again.

Mark has leapfrogged Musty to go top this week. A few other movements around the leagues with me propping up most of them. Quite a few of our teams lost this week which meant GD suffered in terms of overall points.
