Alex Straight

Alex Straight has been a long standing League Of... member who has always performed solidly in League competition.

A huge Man City fan, Alex's favourite player is Steven Gerrard although he models himself personally on Chelsea star Ashley Cole. He likens his managerial style to that of Arsene Wenger, and is quoted as saying 'we play exciting attacking football - not like that dump you see over at Old Trafford'.

He has not selected any players from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Man City during his managerial career. However, for 2009/10 he has sold out, and is now actually going to try to win, rather than insulting the aforementioned teams for the majority of the season.

In the first year of the copycat Fantasy Cup, he appealled a defeat to the FPL to reinstate him as he thought his opponent was multi-accounting. Ironically this is something that Straight has done for the last year.

"I narrowly lost in a high scoring cup game, who judging by his  is one of many teams by the same person. I would therefore like to appeal the result with the    Football Association."

This appeal was successful and he subsequently went out 1 week later in the next round. Such petty competitiveness has lead to Al Straight being the first port of call for complaints to the FPL website. His next appeal of Vidic being substituted at 59:30 therefore it being the 60th minute was unsuccesful, even though it was mathematically correct as a player on for 10 seconds has 1 min listed on the game. It therefore appears that the same people who hand out the bonus points also deals with timekeeping.
