Mr. Incognito

Yipee, here's hoping he scores.

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

This three forward thing never ceases to amaze me.

Robbie Keane costs 8.6 and has 45 ponts.

Have a look at the defenders. You have to go nearly to the bottom of the page to find someone who has 45 points or less. Even Cahill, halfway down from the leaders at 4.6 destroys him with 63 points.

Anelka, the top scorer costs 10.2 and has 90 points. Bosingwa, the top defender costs 7.3 and has 91 points.

Moral of the story, stop wasting money on forwards. Attacking defenders will pay dividends every time.

Loco

Still don't know who to use my transfer on!

Was thinking

McShane->L.Young
or
McShane->Bassong
or
Davies->King

Any suggestions?

God Knows. Havn't been able to guess one of Fergusons line ups in 2 years.

Steinsson at Bolton has been a little gem for me lately, although they are playing Chelsea at home this weekend. But at 4.8 mill he is joint 5th with Vidic in the defender league.

Nalz

Surely Tevez will start on Saturday against Yorkies Black Cats?

Yes he is doing very well. Slightly out of my range though.

Think I'll go for King. Davies is rubbish. They beat Sunderland 4-1 and he didn't even get an assist!

I'm going to have a look at Lampard over the couple of weeks. If he hasn't performed by Christmas, i'll ditch him and use the cash to improve the rest of the squad!

As much as I like Tevez I hope he doesn't - as I have Berbatov in my team!!

Soby

Gonna stick with Ronaldo as Captain for this week.Dispite last week..His suspension was "used up" the League Cup right???Also might go with McShane and Turner at the back..fancy hull to keep a clean sheet

I think that is slightly dodgy.I see both teams scoring tomorrow.I would play Turner (if only for his head)but not McShane.Who else do you have in defence?

pwd

anyone think it is at all likely ronaldo will be rested for the sunderland game?

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

You must be quite light at the back with that list of players. Who are the rest of the Team / Squad ???

Mr. Incognito

4 match ban for evra after the tottenham game- so after this weekend he's out till Jan 11th.

Robinho is out.

Agger doesn't start.:(

Mr. Incognito

No start for Keane either. hmmm.

Zaki is on the bench too.

My head to head opponent has anelka as captain and i have ronaldo so it's a shoot out and chelsea are two nil up already

Charlie

This could potentially be an epic week.

- Owen
- Spiederman
- Anelka
- Deco
- Bosingwa

All have me sitting on 31 pts already. Still have a host of players to play, including Rooney as captain.

I fcuking love this game.

Boswinga assist
Elk goal
Geovanni assist
29 points with five more players to play including Ronnie as captain.

38 with Ronaldo(c) Defoe and Laursen to play. Could have been worse

Yeah I have Myhill as well so was laughin at 0-0. Bastards.

20 points with Ronny (C), A. Young, Laursen, Ish Miller and Cahill to go.

Mr.Nice Guy

Bit of a mixed bag for me so far. Van Persie, Ireland and Delap only picking up 1 pt each but Bosingwa and Cech did the business and have helped me up to 22.

Evra, Ronaldo, Jenas, Laursen, Agbonlahor and Crouch still to come.

Davey Devil

My trigger finger is getting itchy over Lamps. He doesn't seem to score well when Deco and Ballack play. Might get rid and free up some funds.

Frisbee

39 points so far with Green, Belhadj, Traore, A. Young and Gabby to play.

JPA

Cronaldo going off injured, goddamn.

Mr. Incognito

what is that gimp doing!

Charlie

Ronaldo off, with sod all pts. I can breathe a sigh of relief.

G'wan Wazza bag a brace!!!

Sherifu

Had Ronaldo on the bench. Phew! Anelka as captain = accidental good fortune.

Mr. Incognito

what a petulant little ****, the sooner real madrid come in for his moping arse the better.

Apparently he doesn't like life in Manchester if news reports are to be believed.

Mr. Incognito

VIDIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!

Puts me into the 50's and my 50 yo yo accumulator on the big 4 all winning comes in.

Oh Joy!

sionnach

So much for that man united goalfest we were all expecting Poor week for me, will be lucky to break 50

genericgoon

Just 21 points before bonus points. Defoe (C), Howard and Laursen to play.

Mr.Nice Guy

31 points with four to come. My midfield looks very weak.

Heisenberg.

OPENROAD

Only 39 points, two left to play

Charlie

63 pt.s with Bentley left to play. Had Rooney (my captain) done anything decent, it could have been a whopper week.

Still, some much needed ground made on the Ronaldo heads.

genericgoon

Disaster of a week.

JPA

Yep, about to lose 1st place in my league for the first time in months.
Guy in 2nd having a dream week, Crouch, Lescott, Anelka, Owen as captain, Boswinga. He's currently on 82 points.
I have 30.



Edit: Least I have A. Young!!!!!

Davey Devil

Haha thanks Jags. 5 easy points for Young. Will Jags get an assist for the through ball?

Heisenberg.

Mr. Incognito

The guy in my head to head has Lescott and comes from 15 down to beat me by two.

I hate this game sometimes.

Only going to be 12 points clear in my head to head league now

Frankie Lee

My opponent in my head to head had A Young and Lescott in his team and is beating me by 4,
Young is my second sub with alonso getting into the team ahead of Keane, my only hope now is either corluka doesn't play tomorrow night or scores a goal/ clean sheet. Also had Arteta in the team ahead of him.

How did Gerrard get 3 bonus points yesterday, he was absolutely rubbish.

Frisbee

Ah I love you Ashley Young...

Frankie Lee wrote: »

Because he's Stephen Gerrard.

Mr.Nice Guy

Things are looking a bit more decent for me after today. Agbonlahor provided an assist and Crouch got a goal. I'm up to 47 points with Jenas hopefully still to come.

My target was 55 points though so unless Spurs run riot it's not happening.

Xavi6

A solid 50 thanks to Bosingwa and A. Young. The Elk and Cahill did their bit too.

Ace2007

thinking of getting rid of Ronaldo - anyone else think i'm mad,
reason he seems to be off form atm, he's going to miss the week after next and just feel some other players would be better at this moment and time....

I don't think you're mad. I've been contemplating the same myself. His temperament is very questionable at the minute. It doesn't seem like his heart is in it this season and by picking up cards and getting subbed early it makes you wonder if he's worth the price he carries. Also, I think it was Dunphy who pointed out that in away matches he's been pretty poor.

I reckon I'll stick with him for the immediate future but if he doesnt do the business in his next 2-3 appearances then I might cash in on him.
