Hull City boss Steve Bruce added to his forward options late last week by acquiring Danny Graham on a season-long loan deal from Sunderland. The former Swansea man is the club’s seventh signing of the summer and follows the likes of Allan McGregor, Curtis Davies, Maynor Figueroa and Ahmed Elmohamady to the KC Stadium as The Tigers prepare for life back in the Premier League.
Having fallen out of favour under Paolo Di Canio after just six months at Sunderland, Graham’s security of game time looks set for a significant increase in the season ahead. Judging by his new manager’s comments, it’s clear that Bruce – who has an option to make the deal permanent at the end of 2013/14 – is a huge fan of the 27-year-old:

So here is my strategy for the early part of the season...
I plan to go straight for the top of my league (main league). First week I plan on loading heavy with City and Chelsea and all the big boys I can get from the big teams with great opening fixtures. MCFC, Chel, Arse, Lfc etc. (most of which you will want all season anyway).
Once I am in the lead, I can spend money and take hits to ensure I get great returns each and every week. It is basically the same strategy I used two years ago when I finished my highest place and won my main league (my most important thing).
Making money this year is a biggy. I have learnt from all of you that have been playing this a lot longer than me, that, making money, and making money early is very important. I found out last year the hard way when I was actually LOSING money from getting rid of players who ended up getting bandwagons right after I did so!
So, besides liking the sound of my own voice, and boring you lot to death, my question is...
What is your strategy for this season?
I really don't care about where in the world I finish, as chances of winning are what, 1 in 3 million really? I just want to have fun AND beat all my mates and win my leagues!!!
