Happy Monday to you all! Not really, I hate Mondays. 

If you’ve just joined us me and my brother are doing a head to head to see who can do the best in one season with our own 97/98 Team GB squads in Serie A. 

I’m currently ahead of Darren at the halfway stage, but that can all change. 

My boys are currently doing okay. 2nd in the league and into the CL Quarters. We’re out of the Coppa Italia though. 

We kick off the New Year with a gift from Sampdoria. The game was won in the first half and we made a load of changes which let them back into the game.

Greetings and welcome to the final top 10 at 10. You’ve all done a great job of celebrating 10 years of this place so thank you for your interaction with these lists but also over the previous 10 years.

For my final list, I’ve put together a list of players who I think are my SOS players. Mostly these will be signings for lower league sides but some of them can do a job elsewhere, which we’ll get onto. Also the prices of contracted players can of course change, so this is just an “in my experience” type deal. Anyway, shall we?

Bom Dia! and welcome to season six with Nick and his squad of Portuguese Wolves. After getting to the Premiership at the third time of asking, they’ve finished 4th and 11th and got to the UEFA Cup semis, so what will this season hold in store? Over to Nick…

Here’s our Graham with a quick reminder of the squad before we get into the action. After the disappointment of last season, I bought some fullbacks over the summer in the hope that a change in formation might mean a change in fortunes. So, let’s get started…

For an explanation of sorts, please see part 1.

Right, let’s get into it. 

Tactics. I’m not 100% married to the players in these positions, will see how it goes. But these are the tactics I will employ for Team GB. They usually do me well, and as it’s only a one season challenge, I don’t have the time to experiment……go with what you know eh.

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 19: Tokyo João | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and happy Friday to you. Capping another full week of Blog Squad adventures is Nick with his Portuguese Wolves, who are in with a sniff of European football with just five games of the season remaining, so how will it all unravel? Over to Nick…

Here’s how things stand. After last season’s 4th place finish, I was quietly confident going into this campaign, but it’s been a bit of a topsy-turvy season, and we’ve never really properly got going, so if we do manage to sneak a European place, I’ll be over the bloody moon.

Here’s the table after 13 games:
