Dave!

37 points...

SWP, Geovanni and Defoe were my only saving graces....

JPA

Ok, so I didn't see the Portsmouth match but Defoe seemed to be the stand out player and no bonus points. BS!

Juan Pablo

LMAO! I think you got the wrong Traore! I know Djimi is a legend and all that, but this is ridic!



So thats two more boni to Aramand once they realise the errors of their ways. Which will put me at 52 for the week. Not great but a lot would have struggled this week I guees.

Haha magic, that'll give me 69 (hey hey) when they accredit those to Armand.

JPA

^^^ That's a good one.

2 extra points for me once they realise.

OPENROAD

52 Points happy enough with that.

Don't forget a full premiership schedule midweek, deadline Tuesday.

Mr.Nice Guy

Alright, 27th in the Boards league. My highest position so far. Hopefully I can break into the top 20. :cool:

Xavi6

Arteta and C. Cole out, Robinho and Geremi in.

Rooney, Ronaldo and Robinho to fire me to glory.

doonothing

63, wahey!

Sherifu

60 points.

Snap!

Despite having a pretty good gameweek I've moved down in my work league. Up in boards and another league though and still top of my head to head - by a goal difference of one. Only two of us on 21 points now though so I suppose the field is narrowing but there are 5 players behind us on 18 points and it's still anyone's really.

Word of warning Xavi, I would be wary of Geremi getting the start now that Barton and Spiderman are back in the fold.

Feckin rank week for me. 32 pts total, with Rooney and Berba doing sweet FA. To compund things, I transferred Carew out, and had Bentley on the bench. :mad:

I'm thinking I might go on a little points splurge and get my team setup the way I want it.

Iago

57 for my regular team and 81 for my SSF team. If not for Green going walkabout in injury time I'd of jumped up in a lot of leagues but Adebayor came to the rescue for quite a few this weekend.

The charity team is outscoring my regular team every bloody week!!

Mr. Incognito

52.

Nothing on fire but solid. This five defenders is working a treat.

Still undefeated in my head to head on 27 points and the nearest rival is 21 so I've quite a cushion there already. back up to 7th in Boards.

Mr. Incognito

Hey did anyone notice that the scores of the leagues and the actual gameweek scores are not matching.

For example this individual in my league scored 56 points but has been credited with 62

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=270552

In addition this league my team Kerry has not been updated to take account of the bonus points

Here:

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/table.mc?id=265437

and here:

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/table.mc?id=37912

I've emailed the contact in fantasy football but this is very disappointing.


EDIT:

I see they are re-calculating the tables. Well that's a pretty decent response time. Fair play.

Earthhorse

Wright-Phillips has had his assist taken away from him too. Doesn't affect me too much but just robs me of that nice round 60 feeling.

They don't appear to be recalculating the Head to Heads. Yet.

joe123

I didnt get to see the goals from last night but whats the reason behind swps assist taken away?? He was my captain and the only bit of good I had from this week.

27 points now this year is a severe contrast to the dizzy heights of last year being 6th in the world from gamesweek 3 people.

Carlton bloody Cole out now aswell....

I see that Denilson s going to go down in value tonight.He is only worth 6.4 to me as I got him early.

He s worth 6.6 m.Will his drop cause my 6.4m to drop?

pwd

depends whether you got him for 6.2 or 6.3 - selling price will decrease if you got him for 6.2

I dont really get the whole selling thing? Can someone fill me in on this?!

I think Robinho is going to go on a bit of a run its just a sneaky feeling I habe!

token56

Past few weeks have been pretty average really need to start making some headway. So this week I have brought in Deco for Denilson with some money I have been accumulating over the past few weeks. I think he might have a big week next week, and Chelsea have a few nice fixtures coming there way.

Not sure if I should get rid of Adebayor next week and bring in Agbonlahor or Carew and use the extra cash to strenghting my defense or mid field which are both a bit weak at the moment.

Team for tomorrow

Cech

A.Traore Turner Laursen

Delap Ronaldo Ireland Lampard

Zaki Defoe Rooney


What do you guys think?

Have Marney,Zayette and Figueroa on the bench.

Portsmouth playing Liverpool and Hull facing Chelsea, better to have Figueroa in the team as Wigan have a decent chance against Fulham.

Frankie Lee

Disaster of a weekend for me, only had 34 points mainly due to the blunder of making jo captain, I knew man city would hammer stoke.

I dropped fellaini as I couldn't see Everton scoring and I also dropped corluka for the first time too, and i had the wrong sunderland sub keeper deputising for craig gordon.

I transferred agbonlahor for carew last week which cost me another five pointsm, down to 26th on boards now.

My team now.

Gordon / Myhill

Rio Ferdinand
Kompany
Vidic
Bosingwa

Fabregas
Arteta
Fellaini
Young

Carew
Zaki

Jo
Corluka
Gera

Mr. Incognito

I HAD 52, my head to head opponent had 47.

Enter SWP deduction of an assist and Traoure getting two bonus points and I've lost my first head to head by one point.

However they do not seem to have updated the head to heads yet and I'm still credited with the win.

Gameweek 10 starts at 19.30 tonight- if they haven't updated it by then I wonder what happens.

Earthhorse

Your opponent in the head to head made 3 transfers for the last gameweek. 8 points were deducted from his total score. I think everything's been updated on the site correctly now.

NabyLadistheman

Im getting absolutely screwd with my bench scoring. Had 20 points on the bench last week and with Zayette again this week! so frustrating!

Loco

28 points. shocking.

transfered adebayor(11pts) out, for rooney(1pt) :-(

team for next gw -

cech
agger evra boswinga figueroa
ronaldo fabregas ireland
davies zaki rooney

bench: schwarzer / delap / paintsil / marney

would you make any changes? not confident of rooney now with his rubbish display at the weekend.

Delap for Figueroa? Sunderland could struggle away to Stoke with Delaps long throws....

Boggles

Fabregas is starting to give me ball ache. Gona give him one match and swap him out maybe for Barry.

Richardson and Delap are ahead of him on points and are quite a few millions cheaper. :eek:

Frisbee

Was on 69.
Lost SWP Assist and Gained Traore's Bonus.
Now on 66...

Anyway made a few changes this week.
Denilson and Fuller out
Carew and De Ridder in

So team is now:

Green

Kompany
Bosingwa
Traore

Fabregas
Deco
SWP
A. Young

Adebayor
Agbonlahor
Carew


I know kind of a big reliance on Villa up front but think they're gonna do very well this year. Happiest I've been with my team so far this year. Will probably ditch Kompany next week

FutureGuy

I spent hours last week checking form, injuries etc and made the correct decision that Rooney (on form, scoring goals, playing off-form team) would be an ideal replacement for Adebayor. And of course that cost me a ton of points.

So feck that, I said and just brought in Lampard for SWP and Robinho for Rooney. If it works, it works :P

So my team is currently,

1 Van Der Sar
2 A. Traore
3 Bosingwa
4 Agger
5 Meite (maybe Delap)
6 Ronaldo (c)
7 Ireland
8 Lampard
9 Arteta
10 Robinho
11 Zaki

Wondering about Delap v Meite and Ronaldo as Captain. I fancy United to keep a clean sheet so VDS may not be a bad choice as captain.

I don't think it makes sense to captain VDS.
Lets say he keeps a clean sheet you're looking at 12pts cause lets face it, it's not like West Ham are going to be peppering the UTD goal... If you're looking for 12pts max from your captain then it might not be a bad move but I like to take a risk(calculated) on the captain in order to reap the rewards.
The likes of Robinho, Ronaldo, Lampard & Zaki must be better value for captain than VDS.

Would agree strongly. Ideally you're hoping to have someone like Ronaldo/Robinho as captain who scores a hat-trick - with this you would potentially be looking for 30 points plus. Also even if Ronaldo does absolutely nothing and assuming Utd keep a clean sheet he going to get you six points. While not very impressive - this is the worst case scenario and there is always the possibility/likelihood of Ronaldo scoring much higher.

Mr. Incognito

Ronaldo was poor on Saturday- I cannot rememeber an occasion when he was poor two games in a row.

Plus with the dropped points Utd have to win this game- he'll start. Rooney might be rested though.

FutureGuy

Goods points about VDS as captain guys. I'm just reeling from my captains doing pretty poor recently :rolleyes:

So Ronaldo, Lampard or Robinho as captain?

I would be surprised if Rooney was rested given how early he was subbed on Sat and with Fergie saying the reason he subbed him was that he was afraid he would be sent off and his form prior to Saturday's game.

God damn it. Captained him so worth 6 points to me. Stupid ****ers running the thing don't know what they're doing.

tribulus

I had an abysmal 37 points this week.

Two quick questions (well before 7:30 :pac:);

Who to pick as captain - Ronaldo, Zaki, Ireland, Lampard, Carew?
And sub out Turner? If so for Nosworthy or Butt?

I think Barton is due to be starting for Newcastle tonight and I know that Butt had to get an injection during the game at the weekend so I'd be surprised if he played - might want to do some research

According to the BBC website - Barton will be replacing Butt who is injured

Jugs82

Had a good week - Robinho as captain helped my cause

In two minds about this Gameweek - im on the verge of transferring Ronaldo out to be able to bring Lampard in and also free up funds to make a 2nd sub and bring in Agger in for Meite

That would leave me with:

Hart
Boswinga; Evra; Rio; Agger
SWP - Fabergas - Lampard (c)
Zaki - Robinho - Zamora

Subs: Pantsil, Noble, O'Brien

Another good week and hopefully ill overtake the leader in my league

Im_No_Superman

Considering dropping Ronaldo for Lampard myself for this gameweek. Decisions decisons!

Loco

Fabregas for Lampard,
Rooney for Robinho?

My team would then be

Cech
Boswinga Evra Figeuroa Agger Paintsil
Delap Marney Ronaldo Lampard Ireland
Zaki Robinho Davies

with 1.1mill to spare.

Any thoughts? Abismal week of 28 points, is it worth taking a 4 point hit for this or will i upgrade defense a little?

A Traore, or Turner before a price rise?

Xavi6

The heart says Robinho as captain, the head says we're gonna lose 1-0 and he'll be shite.

Robinho as captain it is *sigh*

Sherifu

I'm gonna leave my team alone at this stage, i've already used my sub for this week so i'll leave Lampard till next week.
I think maybe Hull will keep him quiet, maybe I give them too much credit. We'll see.

Think i'll go with:

---

Carson

---

Bosingwa----Laursen----Carragher----Turner----Figueroa

---

Ireland

---

Wright-Phillips

---

----Adebayor (C)

---

Defoe

---

Zaki

Turner went up last night already. Traore may go up this evening but still a bit away from whats needed

NabyLadistheman

Im thinkin of taken defoe out and puttin in Agbonlhor - not sure if it's the way to go...maybe just my gereral frustration with the whole thing!

Kev_ps3

Whats the story with Denilson? Didnt even make the bench on sunday. Is he injured or what? Hasnt been getting me much points recently so will probably change him if he doesnt get me at least 2 points tomorrow.

I got him at 4.6 about two weeks ago. He's at 4.9 already.

"Denilson will return to the Arsenal squad after a back injury for Wednesday's north London derby at home to Tottenham"

Might stick him in myself now, glad you asked
