My Fantasy Football Teams

My teams currently lie in 20th and 23rd positions respectively, in a league of 100 teams. The league's run by a friend of a friend and is based on the Telegraph Fantasy Football game. As usual, no Man Utd players in either of my teams...don't need them, don't want them...no, I'm not bitter at all...
I can't do any transfers until January, but most of my players are doing ok (highlighed players are where I have them in both teams):

Team 1:
GK - E Van der Sar - 7 points
DEF - J Terry - 43 points
DEF - Ashley Cole - 25 points
DEF - JA Riise - 19 points
DEF - M Melchiot - 11 points
MID - M Izzet - 16 points
MID - I Biscan - 3 points
MID - R Parlour - 9 points
STR - T Henry - 72 points
STR - JF Hasselbaink - 38 points
STR - Kanu - 26 points
Total: 269 points

Team 2:
GK - J Lehmann - 25 points
DEF - J Terry - 43 points
DEF - JA Riise - 19 points
DEF - G LeSaux - 8 points
DEF - M Reiziger - (3) points
MID - R Pires - 30 points
MID - S Gerrard - 21 points
MID - N Butt - 20 points
STR - T Henry - 72 points
STR - D Cisse - 23 points
STR - L Ferdinand - 14 points
Total: 272 points

As you can see, team 2 has a much stronger midfield - this is because I originally had Michael Owen in team one and had to hastily exchange him for Kanu when he abandoned Liverpool and headed for sunny Spain. Was only allowed to replace him, so was left with a cheap and cheerful midfield, who thankfully have a few points.

I'll be chuffed if either of the teams finish in the top ten, though am already over 60 points behind the leader.
