Deadline is Saturday 18th August 23:00 GMT (midnight BST)

Same rules as last season. I'm posting this now so no-one has an excuse for missing the first game of the season. If any one does join in later I will use their last pick of last season as a carry-over to this season.

Major change from last season? One player drops out (Solano) and it's lop-sided left, rather than lop-sided right!

Actually, I'd come to the same conclusion as Geordie but think that Hughes may end up in midfield to replace Speed and O'Brien will then take Aaron's place.

I don't suppose they had net access in the hospital did they Geordie? or were you too busy looking at the nurses?
