Great write up Mark and a good month for Portsmouth. Won every game. Happy, very happy with that.

Yeah, I'm disappointed to lose top spot already to you as it'll be ridiculously tough to keep up with your German stars. The two draws may prove costly come the end of the season, had conceded late and then had my GK sent off in the other!

A tough challenge, turning Leamington Football Club from the smallest club in the English game to a worldwide name, all by building a squad of just one player from any nation!
5th? 5th! Im gonna soak it in for a bit. Two seasons ago i was struggling in the championship. Now 5th!
Gomez is on fire.
Lovely write up Mark and nice touch adding some screenies in between
Solid enough month for Swans - no losses which is great. Dissapointing draw to Janis's Man Utd but - given how I would usually never say that and sounds like I had 2 men sent off then I should probably be delighted!
Table looks a bit odd with everyone playing few/more games but happy enough with 5 games played and 0 losses. In a fine position to climb
CL progress looking good as well so far!
Busting to see the save!![]()
just getting a decent enough team together this season. Hopefully will be able to compete with some fellow members in the championship next season.
going very well so far. 9 out of 9. but then with a team like i have it is only to be expected.
Played more games than any other managed side, less points than any other managed side. Sounds about right!!

Great write up, I like this style as it is easy to see how other teams are doing as well without needing to read each persons section.
Our league will be a very tough group but we should all go up I hope.
Are we good to go?
Dream Team League - Season 10 - October
It will come as no surprise to most that vinjwoods has been given a third strike of the season, meaning that he has now been forcibly resigned as Aston Villa manager without ever actually setting foot in the dugout at Villa Park. For the rest of the managers though, we have a full house with no strikes dished out as ebfatz returns for this month after missing out in August. Meanwhile, none other than Pep Guardiola has taken over at Aston Villa!

All good apart from the Derby result, I feared the worst when the picture was of Hull![]()
Èven though we hit the top briefly a disappointing month really. 2 losses to big rivals in Man Utd and Swansea. Dumped out of league cup by Newcastle. We did however beat them in a humdinger 5-3 and I'll take league points over a league cup run
Good month. Unbeaten, 4 wins and two draws. Ramsey and Lacazette both bag three, sweet.
Cherry this month must be the away victory against rivals Man Utd. Gotta love that.
Newcastle in 3rd position![]()
Think I have a game in hand😁
Hahaha!!
Unbeaten month.
Two wins and a draw in the league
And still only 12th![]()
Rough start in the league. Doing well in the CL![]()
Very happy to continue our winning run. Didn't expect to beat Wimbledon, but them having a keeper sent off in the 8th minute might have had something to do with it!
Horrendous start to the month - clawed a bit back but 2 league defeats with sending offs was a killer
At least Europe went well!
Just seen the save
Lucky to get an away draw v AJ who were the better team
P!ss-take of a sending off lost the game for us v Villa
Next month just 1 game v a manager so really need to rack up some points![]()

Average month by the look of it. A loss to Tottenham and a draw in the league against Burnley means that Middlesborough have caught up. Still...top of the league and unbeaten is not to be sniffed at.
Yup, finally caught up with you and got my best players returning for next month! Here's hoping I can finally overtake!
