There's a lot of dead space on the player rows, probably due to having the (cosmetic only?) photo in there, that makes the page painful to read, and doesn't help the user. I can only see three player rows on my laptop screen at normal resolution, and six or seven at the highest resolution I can get (the data column doesn't expand widthways to compensate, either). There doesn't seem to be a way to see my whole team at once, and instead I have to scroll up and down the list to see who I've put in where, and try and remember how much I paid for each player as I scroll about. There's plenty of space to fit a full team on a single page without those photos, which add nothing, for me. I either know what the players look like already, or I don't care because they were the only £80k prop I could find to fill up my team of expensive kickers.
The same issue applies on the page for each position when choosing players, only it's worse because there are more of them, and all the biographical info (available elsewhere, for the interested) expands the row in some cases - see Wade McKinnon's entry as an example. I may be alone in not wanting to read the bio for every player each time I go to that page, but I do want to see who's available and for what price - and preferably enough players so I can make a comparison. There are about 80 props, and only being able to see around six at once is a pain for selection. That's 10 or more vertical screens' worth of information to scan (and to remember as you're scrolling through - if you're looking for a player in a particular price bracket from a small set of clubs), for useful data that could probably be fit on two. It would be better if we could sort on a property, like price, club or name, but that's not implemented yet. Even if it was, there's a lot of unnecessary information getting in the way of the actual game, for me.

I agree that the size and layout made it hard to select players. Maybe have a link to the players photo and bio instead of having them on the selection page would be a better way?
I also think it would be easier having the players in order by cost, therefore your not scrolling through looking for the players to fit your budget. Maybe giving the choice of order, ie price, club etc, to the user if the coding isn't too hard?
Good job so far though, I've seen a lot less user friendly ones about.

It's all meant constructively.
