I had Zamora as my 2nd substitute and he scored 2 goals. Heinze was injured and I was hoping someone else from my team wouldn't play but it wasn't to be.

I stuck Berbatov as my captain for this gameweek and he has a goal and assist already so its not all bad.

Lemlin

Great stuff for me. After a disappointing first week with 35 points, I got 64 this week to propel me up to 36th. The Commandos are on their way back to the top!

chump

I used the wildcard already, better to get your team sorted out sooner than later! Had a lot of dead wood on the original team

GuanYin

I'm happy enough with my position. Unlucky 13th (or joint 12th )! Should be more, I actually subbed in Rooney at one stage. My brain wasn't working that day.

Necronomicon

Any Arsenal fans know if Rosicky will be fit for the weekend?

wardie

He's very doubtful according to the physioroom website. I'd say he'll rest him as he has Theo to come on and he will hae a 2 week break after Saturday (if he isn't playing an international ?)

Necronomicon

Cheers, my dilemma is sorted by the return of Carrick, Tonge had been filling in for him. He can fill in for Rosicky now.
My midfield is a tad light in depth!

ah I'm feelin the love already O Dáiligh!

42nd out of 196 isnt too bad this early I suppose, but bein nearly 50 points behind leader is!! I'l lcatch u Jumpa though

If you had to pick your team again today who would you pick, try and look at the entire season and ignore recent form which is unlikely to be maintained through season.Thinking henry might not have as good a season as in previous years, he has played so much for arsenal and france in past few seasons that i think he's a bit burnt out.

Nalz

I'm happy with mine, if Henry gets into form. Maybe Saha and Alonso instead of Cahill and Shevchenko.

My team 4-3-3

VDS
Bridge (Tonge to replace when dropped)
Terry
Rio
Hyypia

Francis (scored yday, left him on bench :mad: - hopeful Ameobi doesnt play)
Cahill
Neville P

Henry [C]
Ameobi
Shevshenko

With rio out injured united look like conceding more goals this season, with carragher out liverpool look less tight at back too.

besty

Lying in 10th, have to be happy with that so far.

thank God Ameobi didnt play, 7 more points for me. All I need now is for Rio to be fit for Spurs game and Henry to start scoring

Lads Saha has to be the tip of the season. He is guaranteed to start 80 - 90 % of Uniteds games this year and looks likely to bag more than a few goals.

Well in fairness, is there anybody at this stage that doesn't have him in their team?

Mossy Monk

Tut Tut! Ya gotta be getting the on form players!

GuanYin

Well lads, the irishgamers league is 7th overall in the competition standings. Well done!


I'm happy enough with my team now. Bullard has really capitalised on malbranque's banishment. I should be 5th after today

evad_lhorg

county

Fuzzy_Dunlop

What happens now that Kavanagh has left the premiership?, because i have him in my team

he'll act just like a player that didnt play, until you replace him.I honestly think all that were sold after transfer deadline should be free transfers then. But it cant be perfect I suppose!

Not all new players in yet. interesting as to what Tevez and Mascherano price will be at West Ham...

wardie

A good few players will now find themselves on the bench..

Bridge for chelsea as cole is there
Lee for Spurs as they have chimbonda
Berbatov will share time with Mido
Zamore with Tevez coming in
Djourou for the gunners as I'd say Gallas will play centre half

Changes needed to most teams I'd say.

Its grand i was able to transfer him without it costing me any points

Rikand

the only mover in my team was zinedine and he just went to another premiership club, so no real changes for me, thankfully

Necronomicon

Guys how do you use your wild card? I know it's early, but I need some big changes.

Pick the players you want to change and select there replacements and when you have done this click confirm and it should say as 1 of 3/4 options use wildcard select that and your away. i used mine on gameweek 5.
By the way just in case nobody knows you get 1 free transfer every week. (I am so nice:D )
How is everybody doing.

Cheers for that. I did terribly yesterday, that's why I was asking about the wild card. However I really picked up the pieces today, did fairly well for myself. So now I'm not so sure again

I think I'll sleep on it

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Ah yes!, i'm finally getting a bit of momentum going and am 7th for September, if only i had'nt had such an awful August:rolleyes:

Lemlin

Same as myself so. The Commandos are steadily rising up the table after a few weeks of midtable obscurity.

Necronomicon

I decided to use my wildcard in the end. My team didn't perform terrifically over the weekend, but I'm confident in my boys

Pighead

Pigheads team are beautifully poised in 62nd place at the moment. Exactly where I hoped to be at this early stage of the season. The stage i snow set for my legendary October Charge.

eirebhoy

I should be privileged to be tied on points with the might Pighead.

You're doing good buddy. Now do yourself a favour and cling on to my coattails and let them all watch us as we soar up the table.

Rikand

as usual im setting a good strong early pace!

hurry up february and kill me so i can get back down to my usual 50th finishing place!

gandalf

Well my good September continues up to 36th place

shepthedog

Gotta get rid of Berbatov, cant wait any longer for him to get fit.. Not sure who to get in.. Have Saha and Johnson as other strikers..

Shep, here boy. Pigheads got advice for you buddy. Get Rob Hulse in. The lads a legend and I've got a feeling in me waters he's gonna go on a streak pretty soon. Good dog. Now heel.

Ah now piggy, don't be giving shep a bum steer. We all know that when it comes to Fantasy Football it's the form players that you need to be selecting rather than going with your pig-gut feelings.......

What are you talking about Baz, that was a piece of genuine advice designed to help out a struggling rival. Now I'm not saying Hulse will definitely score but what I am saying is he's a quality striker and he'll damn well play his heart out for you.

Pighead

SHEFFIELD UNITED 1 BORO 0
Goal by Rob Hulse (Sheff Utd) left-footed (low centre of goal) from centre of penalty area (12 yards).Sheff Utd 1-0 Middlesbrough. Assist (pass) by Colin Kazim-Richards (Sheff Utd) from right channel.

Well whaddya know.

BaZmO*

I'll eh, get back in my box then.......

eirebhoy

I have Andy Johnson in my team since the start of the season when he cost 8.5m. He now costs 9.3m. Why would I only get 8.9m for "selling" him?

ecksor

Check the rules, they only give you half the "profit" as a sort of handling fee.

Necronomicon

Damn, I made Saha my captain this week cause I fancied him against a dodgy Newcastle defence, but he's been rested:(
Although I'm relieved his not injured.

Why would you consider selling him full stop !!!!

If only Thierry and Kevin Doyle were as consistant as him I would be much better placed at the moment!!

I'm not selling him. I just find it strange that I wouldn't get the full 9.3m for him. I should get a bigger advantage for having him in my team since day 1.
