Unfortunately, I’m not too good about technology to have a facebook. So I’ll put it here. The team is 1-4-4-2 (Clarin asks you to form like that) So here it is: Bossio; Gandolfi, Hoyos, Danelón and Cristian Diaz; Garnier, Raymonda, Moreno y Fabianesi and Scotti; Sand and Boselli. In the bench: Taborda (goalkeeper), Nico Sanchez, Mercier, Andres Rios.
I think it’s a pretty good squad, and since I had to replace Palermo, I had more money to buy another kind of players for other positions. Just for you to know, it’s doesn’t matter if all those player play in the same position. Clarin just asks for 2 goalies, 5 defenders, 5 midfilders, and 3 strikers.
I imagine you wanted to register (I bet Sam wanted too!!) Sadly it’s only for us ‘cos you have a prize in Argie pesos . There’s no point you win that, haha.

Noe, what is your Gran DT squad? You could post it here or on the Facebook group, just curious to see who you’ve picked.
I wanted to register. I would definitely have wanted Civelli and Erviti, they’re gonna get so many goals and assists this season.

To set the record straight, Viatri is only 21, so I am probably wrong in stating he has been at Boca for 9 years ! In addition, he has played in Venezuela and Ecuador. Looks like Ischia might decide to go with Palacio and Noir up front at times. It will probably be a work in progress.

Thank God “El Gran DT” let me change Palermo from my fantasy team!!! I spent 13 million on him and he won’t score any goal in this tournament! I hope Sand replece him good (in my team of course) And we’ll see who will replace him in Boca, Noir maybe?

Viatri looked quite good, but Lanus were, as often, unlucky. They play nice football, and will be in the title race till the end, I feel.
Great results for the Gimnasias. What do I keep saying? Gimnasia La Plata to stay up, Huracan to go down. Huracan have nothing to offer but the big boot and the long ball. When Piatti came on for GELP, he took the game into another dimension this Huracan side just don’t have. And Hugo Barrientos seems pretty p***ed off to still be playing for them.

On a related matter, gutted that only Argentine citizens can register for the Gran DT fantasy game in Clarin. Tried registering, but it was drop down menus and there wasn’t an option for ‘Manchester’. They also wanted my national identity number, and Jaqui Smith wasn’t available to tell me what it might be… ah well. Couldn’t be bothered with any of the Prem fantasy games, I hardly know who anyone from outside the Big Four is anymore…

Ouch ! Tough break for Boca and Palermo. Too bad they can’t helicopter Boselli back from Estudiantes right now. It will be interesting to see what changes in strategy Ischia comes up with. Big chance for Viatri. I read he is been at Boca for 9 years.
