Being on the end of a 5-0 thrashing by Chelsea is not necessarily how you want to start your Premier League career, but for John Johnson (yes that is his real name), his arrival in Middlesbrough's defence could do nothing to prevent the top of the table side from scoring a few more goals on their way to victory.
Johnson was added to PlayTheGame at 14:50 BST on the 10th of October and is subject to the usual 48 hour notice period.

Now I have made by far the most amount of transfers in my league and am now happy with the team I have built. I'm currently sitting in third in the table, but expect to have the table wrapped up by xmas if I'm honest.
Here's my team.
-----------------James------------------
Arbeloa----Dunne----Toure------Cole
Walcott---Lampard---Diarra---Pederson
-------Drogba----Adebayor-------
Now I accept that this has little to do with John Johnson, but its pretty good int it?

Nicky Shorey was dropped last game and Gareth Barry played Left Back, does that give Barry LB eligibility? Thanks!
PTG - After re-examining the evidence we have decided to give Gareth Barry Left Back eligibility. Thanks to Phill who first raised this on Monday.
