Teams of some personality and some with tons of personality

Most people have 3 players from the same club in their squad. It is not in the Premier League FL rules and so I am delighted that we nevertheless have teams of personality.

The 3-player idea has been used in two ways. First, to satisfy those of us with definite favourite clubs like Nick and myself with Chelsea. Second, to use a less fashionable team as the source of the 3 players because the players are cheaper, leaving more to spend on the rest of the squad. I had not foreseen the second  approach to the 'rule'. But is an intelligent way of using the 3-player theme.

Toni's and Barbara's use of Crystal Palace is an example of this. They recognised the drive of Tony Pulis in getting this team to play beyond the level of its previous two seasons in the Premier League. Steve's use of Southampton players (and maybe Mike at one time, anyone else?) is the same.

James' team has a theme I admire: he has 3 Sunderland players AND 3 Man City AND 3 Liverpool. His team BowWow delivered 65 points, 2nd highest score in Week 34. I suspect that Sunderland is his favourite team. Richard, Mike, Jeremy and Jo also have double 3s and all include Liverpool but have very different teams overall. Tons of personality!

Are there closet Newcastle fans amongst us who really should be using 3 Magpies in their FL squads?  The top scoring Newcastle defender is Williamson (in my FL squad) with 78 points against Everton's Coleman leading the pack with 160+. The top scoring Newcastle midfielder is Sissoko with 100 points against Man City's Yaya Touré with 200+. So you can see the problem with Newcastle choices!

Peter's El Fandi has an unusual character with 3 Chelsea defenders. You can see why - Chelsea have conceded only 24 goals so far, easily the lowest with Man City next with 10 more conceded.
