Morning quizzlings,
Shall we try something a little different? For the next 4 weeks, I'm going to give you clues to former County players - one clue per day, one guess each per day. Sounds the same as lots of my previous quizzes so far, huh?
Here's where it gets interesting (hopefully). You won't be scoring points depending on what DAY you get the player correct, it's simply a race to see who gets it right the quickest. On Saturday of Week 1, I'll announce the ORDER in which you got the player, so the sooner you take your guess each day, the more chance of doing well. I will tell you when you have it right, but won't reveal where you've come in the pecking order until Saturday.
The first person to get the player right, then has first pick of a Premier League football team for the fixtures taking place on Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th February.
Here's how you then score points:
1. As is customary, you get 3 points if your team wins their match, 1 point if they draw and none if they lose; 2. You will also get a point for every goal your team scores (regardless of the result). So, a team on the end of a 2-1 loss (one point), will do just as well as a team involved in a 0-0 draw. Make sense?
It goes without saying that you need to try and select those teams who you think will win, but also those teams who have goals in them!
The following week, you'll all get to choose teams from the Championship, then League One in week 3 and League 2 in Week 4 (as a result, the quiz actually spans 5 weeks, even though there will be no player to guess in the final week).
It will make sense as we go along, promise!
All answers via PM or e-mail to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk as usual please.
Let's get started with Player 1....

That's right, it was David Frain!
Here is the order you all got it right this week:
Sir Roger BBLW Gazza Hatter in Macc Archie Calliope Epworth Market Harborough Big Fudge
Special mention to Rog who managed to guess Frainy from just Monday's clue!
If you could all now respond to this thread in that order with your choice of Premier League team for the fixtures taking place this Tuesday and Wednesday - remember, you get 3 points if they win, 1 if they draw and none if they lose, but you also get a point for every goal scored!
Here are the fixtures to help you make your choices:
Tuesday
Cardiff v Aston Villa Hull v Southampton West Ham v Norwich West Brom v Chelsea
Wednesday
Arsenal v Man Utd Everton v Crystal Palace Man City v Sunderland Newcastle v Tottenham Stoke v Swansea Fulham v Liverpool
I'll announce the first league table on Thursday morning and Week 2 will start on Monday.
Ok Rog, you first....
