Word on the street (Jabroni Drive, Viridian City), is that Mak is secretly a Team Rocket supporter - replica shirts, scarves 'n' all.

Team Rocket.

Team Rocket's manager Jesse James Hunter is forced to alter the team's line-up this week following the immediate suspension of striker Luis Suarez due to misconduct. Manager Hunter is still very confident in securing a successful week for Team Rocket, through well thought out, and strategic choices for the new starting eleven - he's even went on record as saying that "this could very well be one of the most uplifting performances of Team Rocket's season thus far".

Team Rocket Gameweek 19 Starting 11:

Pepe Reina

Martin Skrtel
Marc Wilson
Philippe Senderos
John Arne Riise

Joey Barton
Chris Brunt
Luka Modric
Maxi Rodriguez

Grant Holt
Danny Graham

this is week 19's starting 11 just to let you know.

**Hunter** · 31-12-2011, 00:15

Fixed. Not sure where my numbers have muddled up along the way, but no worries!

I've had a bit of a hiccup tonight - thanks to Agger putting it into his own net, ultimately damaging the clean sheets that Reina and Skrtel may have kept. If I could have achieved two clean sheets right off the bat for this gameweek, it would have been a tremendous start.

At least neither of your defenders scored the own goal

That gave me a nice little chuckle, so thanks brother.

I'm a little disappointed that Maxi just isn't being given opportunities - despite scoring whenever he plays. He can't do a great deal more, I mean he's playing well when on the pitch, as well as scoring.

Some really tough choices this week. I've decided to drop both Pepe Reina and Martin Skrtel. I'm putting my faith in Sorensen to keep a clean sheet this week, along with the Fulham boys at the back to perform well. Team Rocket has certainly been adjusted for these post-Christmas fixtures. Fingers crossed the changes pay off.

Team Rocket Gameweek 20 Starting 11:

Thomas Sorensen

John Arne Riise
Philippe Senderos
Marc Wilson
David Luiz
Sylvain Distin

Joey Barton
Adel Taarabt
Luka Modric

Danny Graham
Luis Suarez

As it turns out, I made the best of a bad week it seems - defensively.

I opted to drop both Pepe Reina and Martin Skrtel this gameweek, of which has only happened on one or two occasions all season. Instead, I fielded Sorensen in goal, and Sylvain Distin outfield. A shrewd decision, and one I'm a little pleased with, given that Liverpool conceded 3 goals tonight, whilst Stoke (Sorensen) only let 1 goal slip past. Skrtel's replacement in Distin will hopefully get first team action tomorrow, and if he does, I can see a positive outcome with his opposition being Bolton with all due respect.

Team Rocket may not really have earned many points for these alternative defensive decisions, but they've effectively 'saved' me points. Overall, despite looking poor on the surface this week, I'm somewhat happy with my judgement, and I feel I'm learning more about my squad as the season progresses.

Dale C. · 04-01-2012, 00:14

I support Team Rocket.

This may or may not be damaging to your reputation

Cesc Fabregas · 04-01-2012, 03:23

Lucky you, you have a squad to rotate between. I have 11 players who I have to play and maybe 1 or 2 defenders who I can rotate in.

**IronCity** · 14-01-2012, 03:06

Interesting to see who has the most new players. I had six but that is because my entire defense needed replaced.
