Revised Champs' League Matchday1 Squad

When I logged in to check my squad again this noon, I saw that one of my players was injured. Kalinichenko. So I had to replace him with somebody else. Because I always don't have enough time figuring out the satisfactory squad in the afternoon, I decided to tinker with it tonight. Everytime I look at my squad, chances are, I will be making dozens of changes, transfer after transfer. Even if it costs me points. Just look at my EPL Fantasy Football. In the 4 weeks that EPL's been on, I've already made 12 transfers while everybody else had only 3 or 4 at the most. Imagine that, 8 more transfers than everybody else, which means I've already lost 32 points just from constantly changing players. Talk about point greediness.

Anyway, it's not an issue with the Champions' League Fantasy Football. At least not yet. It became even more amazing when I discovered from the drop-down menu 'Teams selected by %' which I could only take to mean % of Fantasy players who selected the particular player. Of course, I came to my own rescue of picking the most selected players. So no surprises: I've changed more than half of the players from the squad. So now, it looks like this:

The following have been removed, with their corresponding replacements:

GK- Valdes replaced with Ricardo from Sporting.
I can remember this guy. The fucking good GK which cost England the WC.

Defenders- Both Sorin and Mathijsen of Hamburg were replaced by Belgium's Anderlecht's Van Damme and Chelski's Captain Terry. Dynamo Kyiv's Nesmachniy also left to give way to Ricardo's teammate, Veloso.
Finally, I got someone from Chelsea. Good choice people. At least I wouldn't feel so bad if he doesn't do well, knowing he's been selected by quite a lot of you. But I doubt he's gonna screw up. He plays well.

Midfielder- The injured Kalinichenko and Shakhtar's Tymoschuk were replaced by the cheaper Galatasaray's Inamoto and Benfica's Simao.

While Inamoto's cheaper, I just hope he's just as good or even better than the other.

Finally for the strikers, due to gossips that Klose might not be fit enough to play tonight, I replaced him with David Villa. Another player caught my attention, Eto'o from Barca. So I ditched Ronaldo for him.
This guy's honestly quite one of the best from Spain in the last World Cup. I hope that he gives me the points. In retrospect, this guy's close to being one of my favorites.

After all the tranfers, I still got .5M euros left. Nice.

Who are playing tonight:
Ricardo
Puyol, Terry and Veloso
Xabi Alonso, Schweinsteiger, and Inamoto
All my forwards

Who are playing tomorrow:
Van der Sar
Van Damme and Captain FABIOOO
Gattusso and Simao
None of my forwards

Good luck to me on Matchday1!
