That's Defoe's goal, tis over the line.:eek:

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh for f*ck's sake Downing's only gone and missed a penalty. :rolleyes:

I am so screwed this week.

Your joking me.:eek: Ballsy, well done on a good call.

Needed to start making some bold moves, and I reckoned they would knock a few past Hull. Goal and assit is trumps indeed.

Charlie

Boo-urns Tony Cottae. The way he described Heskey's goal, it sounded like Kirkland got the assit. That would have capped off a great haul fro me from that fixture.

Aye.....I had the clown as my captain. Him not scoring cost me the guts of 12 points.


EDIT* Stoke just scored. There goes my clean sheet bonus for Turnbull and Wheater. Gutted.

OPENROAD

Brilliant Ashton taken off after 68 mins:rolleyes::mad:

Charlie

Zaki as captain, get in there my son. That's what you call a roll of the dice.

Scored two goals now.

And an assist. A hat-trick would do wonders for my rejuvenated side.

Mr.Nice Guy

Honest to God yesterday I decided I was going to either a) swap Evra for Clichy or b) swap Tevez for Zaki.

As usual, I went with the wrong bloody option. :mad:

Xavi6

Ooooh Steven Reid got me an assist. Nice one! Rob Green's peno save helps as well.

Handsome Bob

Fantastic day for Defoe, too bad Wheater couldn't keep a clean sheet. Ah well at least I've got Nasri to play.

genericgoon

Hmmmm a bad day all round. At least O'Brien got me a clean sheet but Arteta as captain didnt work out. 16 points(barring some bonus points) with Collins, Laursen, Young, Deco and Torres to play.

Mr.Nice Guy

Well that was a day to forget. Only two players on show, one of whom is a striker who gets taken off in the 68th minute, the other a midfielder who makes a mess of his penalty. Grand total - 2 pts.

Bah, I hate this game.

FutureGuy

Its days like today I feckin hate this game. 3 players, 4 points.

All week, I thought to myself, I need to bring in Zaki and take out Everton players. And this morning, I convinced myself Cisse would be a better option than Zaki. Combine that with Evertons dismal performance and I'm rightly chuffed.

And what was to be the cherry on top, I felt WBA would keep Bolton scoreless and I put on Meite instead of L. Young. And he lasts 45 minutes!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Charlie

34 pts (not including bonus) with Fabregas, Torres, Owen, A. Young, Spiderman, Bossingwa, Dossena, Clichy left to play. This might just be the week to get me back into the mix.

bohsman

1 point with only Lescott having played so far but Im sure theyll notice he got booked fairly soon... Green would go and have a stormer the second I sell him, rigged.

One-Day-Juande

Defoe and Johnson on the bench:mad: Having Yakubu and Santa Cruz with arteta as captain didn't help either. Only consolation from today is Green got some good points. Still got seven to go and hopefully two of them don't play so I can get the portsmouth points.

Xavi6

20 points from 6 players. Yakubu shafted me big time.

He wasn't booked, only Baines was in the whole game.

bohsman

ok, though I saw him being booked near the end after going through someone.

OPENROAD

19 Points so far from 5 players although will have an 8 point reduction for transfers.

Xavi6

Yeah that was when Baines got booked. Baines chopped someone and the ref blew for a free just as Lescott followed up with another bad tackle. Only the initial Baines one was punished.

amacachi

Downing and Yak both missing a penalty. Fan-****ing-tastic:rolleyes:

Dave!

F*ck... toyed with the idea of having James or Distin as el capitan. Decided f*ck it, I'll give it to Ashton :rolleyes: 4 - 1 rout and he doesn't even get a bloody assist (think they got most of their goals after he came off actually).

23 points from James, Distin, Ashton, and Downing (c*nt). Not too bad really.

Sh*t, in my haste this morning I forgot to take off a Villa defender or 2 :mad:

Still to play: Dunne, Laursen, L Young; Bentley, A Young, Petrov; Keane

Handsome Bob

15 pts from Defoe and Wheater; still to play Nasri, Mascherano, A.Young, Deco (c), Carragher, Bosingwa, Cech, Torres & Agbonlahor. I'm praying that Villa/ Pool is not a 0-0 snoozefest.

Smegball

So far for me, Arteta 2, Warnock -1. LOL
Walcott on bench aswell, what a disaster rofl

jesus_thats_gre

Got 2 points today from:

Reina
Wheater, Vidic, Laursen, Bosingwa, Clichy
Bentley, Young, Downing
Keane, Agbonlahor

I am expecting this to be a very bad week tbh..

Poxy Downing too!

SantryRed

I took two POmpey defenders out oof my team for this weekend:pac:

Chelsea better keep a clean sheet tomorrow.

Damn in it, they had Defoe down as probably wont play this morning (the yello i under his name) so I stuck him on the bench and now he's after going and scoring. So irritating as if I thought he was going to play he would definately have stayed.:mad:

Edit: and I just see santa cruz is after being taken off!!!

if a player is down as yello, I usually put him in my first 11. If he doesn't play then at least I gave him a chance especially if he's good for a goal

bUILDERtHEbOB

Downing ruined my whole week and probably the next few too, Alves would have got the double assist and Downing would have 6 points instead of 0, so he's cost me 14 points, delighted.

Lex Luthor

FFS, Downing thats the last time I'll make ya capt.

He should have got me 7pts x 2 and then Alves would have got the assist. Thats 17pts the pr1ck cost me and its not like I'm flush with them at the moment.

I love this game...:rolleyes:

I hope SCruz is out now for a while although he might get fit in time after the intl break...I could spend his worth on a player who actually scores. Defoe for me is now going in as when this fella scores one, he scores every week after that

PHB

Van Persie as captain of one of my teams is gona pay off
That said, where are Fabregas's assists. He's been outstanding though, how about 3 b onus points

Mr.Nice Guy

Arsenal have helped me out a lot. I had Adebayor as captain and his two assists helped me bag 16 pts. Clichy's clean sheet gets me 6 pts.

24 pts in total with 7 players still to play.

amacachi

Two clean sheets from the Arsenal helped me there, still only 23 points with 4 to play tomorrow though:rolleyes:

madds

28 pts from 4 players today - 14 from James, 12 from Johnson, 1 from Lescott, and 2 from Delap. Have Lampard as my captain tomorrow.

ibh

worst week ever.. Yak and Downing both missing peno's. If it wasn't for Johnson, i would have been seriously embarassed today..

OPENROAD

Sometimes I really hate this game I think I know now how the real managers feel.

At least they can make subs during the game

tribulus

13 points from 6 players.

Relying on a Chelsea clean sheet and another big performance from Deco to bump up my total.

Laursen, Ireland and Nosworthy to play as well.

Handsome Bob

I'm praying to jebus that Villa/ Liva is not a borefest that ends in 0-0 or 1-1, I've got a grand total of 5 players taking part in that game. I had a great start yesterday, I'd hate to see it undone in one devastating swoop.

SantryRed

Fcuking Adebayor. Put him as captain. THought he'd score. But noooooooo.

I need a reliable captain. Thinking of getting Deco.

token56

4 points, but only 2 players used, god dam santa cruz as captain and he went off injured, I really need a high scoring game from villa/pool and chelsea to keep a clean sheet

PHB

That's why I'm thinking of bringing back Ronaldo the second he's fit. His price is huge, but as a captain, he ensures a goal/assist a week, and as such it doubles up.

Dave!

Will Berbatov's price jump if he joins United? I've had him since the start and he's been on the bench for most of it Keane has let me down big-time...

Is Zaki any use? Only 6.1 and has 3 goals and an assist

Was thinking of getting rid of Bentley for Deco and Keane for Zaki


Still can't get over Ashton not scoring yesterday....

PHB

Not only that, but Berbatovs price has dropped by .2 which is bloody annoying.

To be fair 2 assists is not the worst haul I've ever seen.

Didn't know that:D:p

Hoping for a Ashley Young assist or two today.

As a Liverpool fan but someone who also has Young in his team, I hope he does well just once we score more goals than Villa!:p:pac:

SantryRed

Villa 3-4 Liverpool?

Young hat trick and Torres with four.

Now that'll do me:D
