31 with Carragher to go.

12 points sitting on the bench in the form of Schwarzer and Ish Miller :mad:

joe123

22 with agger and reina to play. I had ronaldo but took the risk of captaining geovanni...it kinda paid off I suppose. Though I bought him for pienaar who ends up scoring!

Frankie Lee

32 points with keane and alonso to play, forgot to make changes this week so my subs bench had 19 points while Bosingwa was captain.

Back up to 461 in the boards league after a disasterous November where at one stage earlier in the season I was 3rd.

My team for next week:
Myhill
Ferdinand, Corluka, Vidic, Kompany, Bosingwa
Arteta, Fletcher
Van Persie (c), Crouch, Keane
subs: Gordon, Alonso, A. Young, Fellaini

I'd be confident of Utd keeping a clean sheet so considering making vidic captain but there is the possibility of fergie starting J. Evans, also the clash of Everton and Villa leaves a tough choice between Arteta and A.Young and there is also the possibility of Fellaini playing as a Striker for them too.

Defoe's early return has left me with a dilemma. Do I transfer him back in or keep hold of Crouch...

I am bringing him in fr Agbonlahor.

Which game will Ronaldo miss, Sunderland or Tottenham? I played my wildcard this week and have transferred out Ronaldo out at least until Friday as it looks like he'll drop in value.

You transferred out ronaldo?? He'd need to drop .4 in value for transferring him out to make financial sense (presuming you got him at the start at 14m). He's never going to drop that much, i'd be very surprised if he lost even .2 in value.

OTliddy

Well he's missing two of the next 3 game weeks, he's on bad form, I got him at 14.5mil and it's not inconceivable he'll get injured at some point in the season and will need to be retransferred in. But if he's playing against Sunderland he'll probably knock in a couple.

He only missing the Carling cup on Wednesday.Red card offences ocur immediatly,no waiting for 7 day like for 5 yellow cards.

FutureGuy

25 with Agger and Arbeloa to play tonight. Had Anelka as captain, and it would have made a massive diffence to my league position if he had scored a few.

Hopefully one of the A-Team above will get a goal. Head to Head guy is beaing me even though he hasnt played since GW1 :rolleyes:

oh god.... very very very bad week. on 18 with only 3 left to play. Really need clean sheet for liverpool and a hat trick from Kuyt :rolleyes:

Dingatron

24 with Pepe, Cara and Keane (C) :eek: to play. My cunning plan of refusing to get the "greasy one" may still work. Would have maybe if Zaki, Alex, Malouda and Reo-Coker had of shown up anyway.

Mr. Incognito

Fantasy Football has Ronaldo marked as suspended until the 7th with United playing Sunderland on the 6th............

Interesting.

Why is that "Interesting"? He got a red card so he gets a 1 match ban.

Who to believe?

Frisbee

The FF people have lost the plot this year with their willy-nilly allocation of bonus points and now this.
He's only suspended for the Carling Cup, he's available for next Saturday.

Mr.Nice Guy

The guy I'm up against in my head to head is 14 points ahead of me. He has Van Persie.

I think that's me f*cked for this week.

I refuse to live in the past!

A player who is dismissed from the field of play for receiving a second caution in the same match will be suspended automatically from all approved first team matches commencing forthwith, until such time as his club’s first team has completed its next match in an approved competition.”

from the FA.

Frankie Lee

Agger does not play tonight which is excellent news as it means I win my head to head as long as keane and alonso don't both get sent off.

Or possibly more plausable Agger comes off the bench and scores.

FutureGuy

Benitez, you muppet. Agger on bench. Compounds my dreadful week.

Mr. Incognito

44 points. with bonus points to be allocated.

Thank feck Liverpool kept a clean sheet.

Feels massive looking about.

Disaster of a week

Mr.Nice Guy

Keane underperforms yet again. I end up with 31 overall. Time for a big rethink of things.

Necronomicon

Well, a potentially disasterous week was just mediocre. 39 points isn't bad considering I had Ronaldo as captain.

My Santa Strike Force team got 59. Who needs the top 4 eh?

Mr. Incognito

It takes me inside the top 100 though...

In the world or boards?

Mr. Incognito

gameweek completed but they did not allocate bonus points for the lverpool game? seems to be frozen on 78 minutes

Seems fine. All the Bonus Points went to West Ham players with Green getting 2. Was worried that he might not get a clean sheet cos I had Schwarzer on the bench. I'm doing ok at the moment with those two keepers, it's just changing them around at the right times that gets a bit tricky.

Mr. Incognito

Well, it's taken me 9 weeks to get back in the top 5 but I'm 5th in Boards and up to 512th in the world. The fact that everyone's forwards are doing crap lately has allowed my 5 defenders to sneak up the ranks. Considering Ronaldo should be good for a huge score against Sunderland and Lampard should finally break his poor run against Bolton I'm forseeing another tasty gameweek ahead. Hopefully Zaki is mended and will repay my faith in the little greasy bugger.

Gameweek 18 with no United and Wigan, is manageable with half decent subs and my team is up to 105.5

I'm 13 points clear in the hed to head and playing the chap in 2nd this week who doesn't have Rondaldo so the timing couldn't be better. Overall- very happy month for me.

tribulus

When does Ronaldos suspension kick in?

Mr. Incognito

When does Ronaldos suspension kick in?

Tomorrow's Carling cup game against Blackburn. One game ban.

Im back up a wee bit this week to 42, Had a look at your team there - very defensive minded! But I like it...

This last month has made me seriously look at boosting my feeble defence... So last week I brought in Bosingwa and Djourou this week. Previous to that I brought in Agger but has to see if he will start this wkend before he is getting the chop.

Any word on Zaki anyone?

Heisenberg.

Zaki's back 6th december according to that, which is the date of Wigan's next fixture

Mr. Incognito

Aye, that had him back three weeks ago three weeks ago too.

They just put down the next fixture.

As I understand it's a small tear and he was playing thorugh it so they're just resting him for a few weeks to let it heal to keep him fresh for all the close games over christmas.

But really no-one knows.

Mr. Incognito

Torres out for another 5 weeks.

MUHAHA HAHA

What is with these glass-limbed players! RVP / Torres / Saha / Owen / Hargreaves

Forget ankle/knee supports, they should make some sort of full-body support for these players, and wrap them in bubble-wrap when they are not playing!

Mr. Incognito

Takes a week to take effect. His available this weekend but not next.

Shurwhynot

I think Utd players are the way to go at the minute so im gona bring in Vidic and Rooney for the weekend...i normally dont waste 4 points but i think that these two will make them back no hassle against sunderland. I refuse to bring in the ladyboy as a matter of principle and i've been top of the league i have with my mates (28 of us at 20 quid a man!) for 14 of the 15 weeks. Currently on 808 points.

My team for the weekend coming:

Reina

L Young (everton have literally no strikers left!)
Agger
Vidic

Lampard
Bentley
Marney
Ireland

Agbonlahor
Rooney
Anelka

Subs: Delap, Pogatetz, N Hunt

jimbling

anyone reckon fergie might play teves instead of rooney this weekend... given the 4 goals and great performance against blackburn??

Mr. Incognito

I think Utd players are the way to go at the minute so im gona bring in Vidic and Rooney for the weekend...

Just be careful. They don't play gameweek 18 with wigan.

Ace2007

ugh my team is beginning to struggle.. need the top players to start scoring

midfiled: lamps, ronaldo, Geovanni, Delap and Kuyt... now come on just one good week

up front: Keane - sooner or later he has to come good right?, Bent and Anelka...
