My two cents (you are invited to post your opinions!):

- Odd: Xavi is the only best player, but he is tied as best
midfielder.

- For the first time, the best player is not the best attacking player
in the UCL winning team. Nor the UCL top scorer (in the previous three
seasons these two definitions designed the same player). But this was
a WC season, and a player from the winning team won; not the top
scorer (Villa), though.

- As usual, silverware won: other than Xavi (who won La Liga as well),
Spain have Casillas. Maicon and Sneider won UCL and Serie A. Messi won
La Liga.

- In the first three seasons of the award, only one player won twice:
Vidic as defender (06-07, 07-08). This term, three players repeat
themselves: Casillas (07-08), Xavi as midfielder (08-09), Messi
(08-09).

Completely off-topic, but just because you're here: it seems I had my
best Fantasy Scout week to date. :-)

Tchau!

Yep! And I'm happy of it: you know, you are *the first scout*, and
above all without you Fantasy Scout would have aborted, there would be
no game now.

I've updated the data ( http://fantasyscout.altervista.org/ ) and of
course your rank is starting to improve (Pato+Neymar+Hernanes!), but
this round of friendlies seems to have been good for Daniele too, and
for the usual couple Enzo & MH... well, pretty much for everybody but
me!
