Welcome to my first Blog in many a month if not longer. As most of you know I love a good blog or 2. So Taking part in the popular COD 2v2 made me realise I needed the AG fantasy league back in my life, so I took the plunge bought the game and signed up for the forthcoming season.
Over the coming days the ever so generous banker released the details and the anticipation started to grow. As more news trickled through that buzz started to increase, and then the post we all wanted to see, the Squads.
Firstly I think everyone would agree that Big B 1970 has done some stellar work making the squads and the freshness of keeping some players from that franchise has also landed well. As soon as that post was put out everyone was furiously looking, scouting, trawling through sofifa or the game to pick the best players.
I had picked 4 maybe 5 top teams, one I wanted more than any other as they were well balanced and had the legs required to run all day. I had budgeted what I thought could spend to help with the rebuild once the window opened. I was sure about who, what and how much.
And then the auction happened, all that went out of the window when I seen the money being splashed and not only did I miss out on all the teams, like a madman I got sucked into a panic bid for a team I really hadn’t checked or sorted through and spanked my whole budget purely because I realised the 2 forwards were quick!! Not the best decision I’ve ever made, but hey ho it’s part of the fun of rebuilding a team. So who did I get,
Step forward Randers.
A relatively new team. They were only founded in 2003, have a capacity of roughly 10,000 and have won the Danish cup twice in that time. The squad has a spattering of youth and some older heads, the ethos I’m attempting is to have a squad of my favoured Bristol City players and mainly u23 with potential. What that looks like I don’t know and the formation that’s set at present may evolve, and that will take some time getting used to as I always liked to have my own custom setup, something which looks like it’s no longer in the game.
The squad
As far as squads go it’s not a 30M squad so I’ve dug myself into a bit of a hole there, but there are a couple of positives. Both Odey and Toure can run, that’s the first. Infantino is a CAM but he’s the best finisher so may be deployed further forward.
Coulibaly will be a key component to start with as he is a mobile, strong CM who has the ability to break play up.
And the 2 wonder kids that have been placed are ok but not world beaters just yet. Wurmband possesses good pace but at this stage that’s it, and Philips is a Spurs Loanee at Stoke who has good awareness for a young player, so he will be the no 1 CB to start.
Overspent Yes 
Unhappy with squad Yes
Happy to be back Yes
Let’s the games commence, the squad building to begin and the priority is to have a bit of fun and not take things too seriously and see where it takes us.
Thanks for reading and have a good season everyone.
As the Danes would say Held og Lykke
