Manager: Ben M (Cumbria)
Twitter name: @BenMarcangelo
Since: Debut
Trophy cabinet: Empty
Sympathies: Liverpool
Darts music: The Beverly Hills Cop theme
Outlook: Picked up the auction’s bargain Sergio Aguero for £12m, although devastating capabilities of the front two may be curtailed by casual racism. Very creative in midfield, but yet to be seen if Charles N’Somnia wakes up this term. No Brambles.
