No, it wasn't directly from the free-kick. From what I read, Petrov picked the ball up after Young hit the wall and crossed it to Carew.

Ronaldo you beauty! 38 provisional points with Fabregas, Clichy, SWP, Kompany, Ireland, Zaki and Defoe still to play.

Jaysus!!

Third_Echelon

Have Boswinga in there...

Surely he'll get an assist for the second chelsea goal?

Certainly seems that it was from a few reports. He is proving to be a bit more effective than Ashley Cole.

Solid week so far! Captaining Ronaldo was my master stroke!! :P

So I had Bent captain last week, and last night I changed it to Downing, well, I thought I did, but I must not have saved it or something because Bent is still my captain, good times.:rolleyes:

SantryRed

38 points so far.

5 players left to play:D

Masterstoke me hole. You'd swear nobody else in the game even considered doing the same.

No thanks

Necronomicon

43 with Dunne, SWP and Defoe to play (as well as Denilson to finish the Arsenal game).

Hoping bonus points haven't been added and Ronaldo & Young get a few.

Vokes

Dammit.

There goes the Clichy cleansheet bonus

SantryRed

2-1 now:eek:

There goes Gallas getting me points.

Now for Adebayor to get a game winning brace please.

jesus_thats_gre

Stupid Arsenal!!!

genericgoon

Despite having Denilson, I can only be delighted by the turn of events of event so far. I wonder how many people have an Arsenal captain?

S.M.B.

Quite a few would have Ade as captain. Arsenal losing means Cesc isn't guaranteed his weekly 3 bonus points though.

jesus_thats_gre

I have Denilson as captain. I intended on changing it to Young or Carew but forgot

Earthhorse

Fucking hell. Adebayor as captain, Geovanni on bench. So far Owen is the only one to get me points this week.

genericgoon

Moral of the Story: Never doubt Ronaldo in FF.

Hence the ":P" after there captain serious.



Geovanni on the bench...denilson starting......b0ll0x

My opponet in the head to head is ahead of me 7 points.He has two more players to play.I have 4.I need a Man City clean sheet.Is it likely Xavi6?

Xavi6

Ehhh I really couldn't tell you. We'll either win 4-0 or lose 1-0. That's why I never bet on City!

Ditto. Have Gallas and Fabergas too. What was I thinking with Denilson captain though? Dropping Fab for Lampard now.

Then I'll have:

Howard
Gallas Boswinga Kompany
Arteta Denilson SWP Ronaldo Lampard
Zaki Robinho

Schwarzer Cole Figueroa Ricketts

Bonus points are in and I am two behind him now.If Defoe gets a goal.I should be safe.Only thing is he has got Ireland and W Phillips to play.I have W Phillips,Kompany,Defoe and Zaki to play.Can Ireland outscore Kompany,Defoe and Zaki?:eek:

Not that renegade of a decision in fairness.. He has been getting the points that Fabregas would typically be getting.. Has to end eventually like but today was just a freak result.

What is the Head to Head thing about? Is it just random users in a league?

Yeah.Its against random users but it is done in a league format.You play the other 19 teams twice.If you score more ff points you get three points,if ye draw,ye get one each.

SantryRed

We should set up a seperate one of these for Boards.

Using the same teams.

First twenty get in.

Are you able to do that?

Its random.I am afraid!:(

Would be a good idea.

genericgoon

To all those people with Ade, you'll be gald to know he got an assist for the Mc Shane goal. lol

Dave!

Noyce one, Laursen got 3 bonus points!

37 provo points

James, Defoe, WrightPhil, Ireland, and Zaki still to go!

Berbatov no bonus points this week, but 3 last week??? He didn't light the world on fire tonight, but he was certainly better than against Chelsea IMO. Those bonus points must be random as f*ck

Charlie

53 pts so far, with Zaki, Ireland, and Kirkland left to play.

Just saw that. And I brought him in this week for Torres. Was kicking myself a bit but the assist helps.

32 with Ireland, SWP, Defoe and Zaki to play tomorrow.

Frankie Lee

Poor enough week, changed captain to fabregas from young, am sick.
43 points with kompany, zaki and jo still to play.

S.M.B.

I was expecting a decent week with most of my players at home and it delivered.

65 points with Zaki, Defoe and Johnson left to play.

Looking like I'm going to be 18/18 points in the head to head league unless Valencia somehow manages to score about 4 goals.

That side comes to 105.1.

Trampas

fcuk u rob styles. he has got an awful of teams back in it cos most teams behind got ronaldo in.

at least the leader hasn't got him

Not if you bought them at the right time. Currently at 103.3m
I'm not saying how many transfers Ive made but I hope to be done with a Dream Team before Christmas

Edit: just noticed, I swapped Howard for Hart yesterday. Forgot I did that.

Keano

Many play their wildcard yet?

Very tempted as my team is just struggling every week.

~Rebel~

played my wildcard after about 3 weeks. hadn't put in enough effort day one and it cost me. happier now, though i didn't really leave myself much of an option to bring in Ronaldo.

FutureGuy

Had 36 from 5 players today, right before Denilson, Clichy and Adebayor decided to screw up.

49 points with SWP, Zaki and Hart to play. Will be delighted to reach 60-Hart v Zaki is unfortunate.

OPENROAD

56 Points so far but in reality it is really 44 points as I took a 12 point hit to get Ronaldo in, still happy with that, still have James, Dunne, Ireland and Zaki to play.

Yeah, just spotted that. Getting rewarded for stuff like that seems to work on a pretty random basis.

Damn straight. It's the only thing keeps me in this God damn game. I think they reward them to popular players i.e. players that a lot of managers have selected whenever they possibly can e.g. Laursen will get 3 if Villa win, Fabregas if Arsenal win etc.

Ditto. A lot of my team regulars were injured or overpriced at the start of the season and I left some money aside for bringing Ronaldo in. Then I panicked and reshuffled (ending up with Given as keeper, what?) and it's helped a little but I still need to bring Ronaldo back. Am thinking of ditching Adebayor so I can swap Arteta out for him but he's been my biggest source of points so far.

With that side,you should get a lot of points then

They are given to the 3 best players on the pitch....3 for the best,2 for the next and 1 for the last one!

I realise that! It's the random way that seems to be decided that I'm talking about. Players can have a poor game and get 3 points. Others play a blinder and get nothing. Think they've gone back to asking journalists to vote on this.

I know a lot of people complained when they used the Actim Index to apportion bonus points but I thought it mostly worked with only occasionally bizarre results.

Necronomicon

Sweet, more points from Defoe. Hopefully a couple of bonus too.

Apart from Diarra, Defoe stood out the most in the game so I'd be hoping to see him pick up all 3 bonus points after Diarra's moment of madness.

Mr. Incognito

Bosingwa, Ronaldo, Defoe, all brought in on this weeks wildcard.

Delicious!

53 Points before Defoe, Zaki, and SWP (Captain play)

If SWP bags a goal I'll be in the 70+ bracket.
