Bundesliga

Schalke 13 +11
Berlin 12 +10

Schalke looking stronger than ever but not a good week for the Davies twins with both Stuttgart and Gladbach losing, both managers will need to improve quickly to stay above the relegation zone.

some very important and interesting results today, but still a long way to go.

okay, transfers for me now...

Handshakes all round for a good win.

My European group is Watford (1st in the Prem), Arsenal (2nd in the Prem) and Schalke (apparently own Germany).

Take from this what you will but it's not getting easier.

I have a tactical solution for you......

The biggest private deal of the week sees Fabian Delph making the move from Villa to Plymouth.

Delph : 'I'm looking forward to a new challenge and to play for a team I can have an influence in games for. Watching the ball fly over my head is all well and good but I like to use my feet once in a while'

Literally ....... word for word.

I'll do the training & finances in the morning...

He might be seeing more of the same at Plymouth, there again you never can tell with the manager these days. He doesn't know what he is doing week in week out...

Thanks Paul. Comedy day with some interesting results. The Prem looks like Europes best League by a mile but some big guns flexing their muscles elsewhere too. Probably the most competitive I remember.

Lots of very good teams around this year, especially Watford, but some that haven't started very well like Plymouth and Bayern and very surprising that Barcelona are also under performing. Would be interesting to know if Barcelona were suffering because Flamengo are doing so well. The quality of opposition now means there are very few easy games and you need all 25 players.

As far as ISF goes I really enjoy reading the match reports games are certainly exciting but some games are on the raged edge and could go either way. Not sure I could ever play long ball

Hi P,

Any ETA on the email turns?

I'm chomping at the bit.....

email turns all sent out

Just want one week where one of my DYs doesn't get injured or suspended!!

Only Real next up so doesn't really matter that Yaya is out for 6 weeks
