How the hell did Ronnie pick up the bonus points. It's shocking how thery dish these out. I took a chance with Lamps & even though he had an assist finished the same as Ronnie who also had 6...Crap. Hows a man supposed to catch anyone ahead of him. Took a chance changin captain and It still didn't prove beneficial!

Yep, Im the same. Took captaincy off Ronnie and trusted Bosingwa to get at least 12 points for me

Can't believe they gave Ronnie the 3 bonus, no way he was MOTM

Ya maybe to gain these bonus points you have to have a 'controversial moment.' Ronaldo will have them every week so - he had a kick out at someone at the weekend and they still deem to give him the bonus points! Mystifying to say the least

Made my changes early this week.Spent 8 points

Starting team for NEXT WEEK

Schwarzer

Arbeloa Laursen Boswinga Johnson

Marney Geovanni Reid Lampard

Defoe Agbonlahor


God willing,I hope that this team scores big next week.

Xavi6

Just the one enforced change to my squad this week. Ish Miller is gonski for the season so the only realistically decent option I could afford is Jeremie Aliadiere. That has eaten up all my available funds though. Haven't decided which keeper to go for yet.

Evra and Zaki out for Hangeland and Agbonlahor.

Leaves Rio and Ronaldo on the bench along with Sidibe, not too happy but going with

Cech
Hangeland Boswinga Laursen Arbeloa

Bent Agbonlahor.

This week will not be good, Ronaldo and evra on the bench, martins unlikely to play and a posibility of bent being out although he is on the subs bench for the game tonight.

Team for the weekend will be:
Cech
Bosingwa(c), Arbeloa, Laursen, Paintsil
Barmby, Geovanni, Lampard, Morrison
Bent, King

Bench - Schwarzer, Martins, Ronaldo, Evra

Not happy with having 3 hull players on the team, but not left with much of a choice, only hope is the fact they are playing Sunderland, come on the Tigers

Are you planning on leaving Evra on the bench for the remainder of his 5 match ban?

I probably shouldn't, I might try free up some cash and see about getting Vidic or Ferdinand, dont know if evra will back for Chelsea and their two matches in Gameweek 21?

IIRC Evra's suspension only covers two league matches, as well as one in the carling cup and one in the FA cup. I know for a fact he's back for the Chelsea game.

FutureGuy

I knew this week would be a battle. Ronaldo and VDS in Japan, McShane ineligable, Sidibe injured and Agger not getting a game, had to make 2 substitutions and rely on back-up players! In comes Young and Mendy and out goes Geovanni and Agger. This week...

==================Schwarzer==================

==Mendy=====Boswinga======Arbeloa=====Laursen===


===McCann=====Lampard======Ireland=====Young===


==============Anelka=======Harewood (!)========

Could be one of those weeks...I need big performances and a good captain haul (havent decided captain yet)

bUILDERtHEbOB

In possibly the stupidest move I've ever made on the fantasy league, Andy Johnson = captain.

Loco

Could be a disaster!

Schwarzer
Boswinga Arbeloa Bassong Paintsil
Lampard Geovanni Ireland
Anelka Davies King

Subs: Reina Marney L.Young Ronaldo

Jugs82

Had Martins and Robinho upfront and now both are out :mad:

Transferred in Santa Cruz for Martins because i have a sneaky feeling Hughes might play Robinho - its a very important match for him

going with:

turnbull,

Cole, Boswinga, Cahill,

Lennon; Lampard, Alonso, Young, Fellaini,

Robinho, Santa Cruz (c)

Subs: Pantsil, Zamora, Agger, Sorensen

Im not expecting much if im honest...

Mr. Incognito

God what a tough week.

Sidbhe and Miller getting injured was a real blow and now Marney might not start.

I swore that I wasn't taking a hit of 4 to bring in some crap replacement for sidbhe who would probably do feck all and leave me with a net of -2.

Now however, one option is looking tempting.

Young in for Lampard freeing up cash elsewhere,

But you know what, I couldn't do it.

It's 12 point hit.

I think that in the long term they'll both be sitting on similar points totals at the end of the season and Lampard is defo not as prolific this season as the free kick duties and corners aren't as frequent however I think he's due a good week and Young has had two crackers and may be due a quiet one.

It would give me a more balanced squad but I simply can't do it.

It's the difference between 4th and 12th in Boards for me.

If Marney doesn't start I only have 9 players this week.

AAARRRGH.

When Drogba plays, he brings the midfiled into the game way more than Anelka who sis more direct. I'm keeping Lamps because when Drogba regains his place, Lamps will get way more points. That's my reckoning anyways.

Thinking of making Young captain this week.

thewools

Transferred King in for the "sick" Bent... couldnt take the risk that he might not be playing!

Leaving Lamps as captain again this week - he is due a good game and a penalty or two

santa cruz teaked his calf- ouch.

Marney didn't start so I only have 9 active players.

Laursen picks up two bonus points for nothing again, thank you stupid press association, glad I have him.

Lamps as captain, and two other chelsea so roll on Monday.

Young and Villa did nothing, so glad i didn't press the button on him now

FFS, the excitement of Fulham having won 3-0 and then bam, he did nothing at all, the waster.

20 points from Young, Laursen, Paintsil and Fuller.

Not too bad. How didn't Young get an assist for Milner's goal?

Third time I've had Schwarzer on the bench when he's kept a clean sheet.

Who is your keeper?

I have had James all season but brought in Schwarzer last week, two clean sheets now

Xavi6

Every week it's a shootout between Schwarzer and this week's choice Myhill. I fancied them at home

Milner got the assist.

Mr.Nice Guy

33 points with 5 players still to come. My target was 48 so a few clean sheets and I might make it.

Given an own goal? That's stupid. The ball was on target when it hit him:D

Mr. Incognito

Vidic received a straight red in Japan- will this ban be served in the premiership?

SantryRed

European Competition.

FutureGuy

26 with most of my big guns to play (Ireland, Bosingwa, Lampard, Anelka and Arbeloa)

Could have been alot worse.

You sure? It's a world competition.

Big Chief

first season i must admit that ive tried and i thought i would be better but i learned the hard way how much points transfers will strip against you when your trying to find that "perfect team".. not the way i should have played :-(

DmanDmythDledge

Where the fuck is Arbeloa's points for his assist?

Macker1

Agger got the assist.

It's a continental competition. So is the Champions League.

3 points for MOTM, 2 points and 1 point for second and third best respectively. Also a keeper gets a bonus point for every three saves.

:mad::mad::mad:

Absolutely shocking week.
Ade as captain gets sent off.
Then Belhadj doesn't play and my next sub is Ricketts who conceded 4 and got sent off, disaster...

on that page it says:

Mr.Nice Guy

Up to 45 points thanks to super Van Persie. I still have Bosingwa and Cech to come. I look like I'll make my weekly target anyway. :cool:

Mr. Incognito

Everyone is having a shocking week.

I only have 9 players playing any my 21 so far is up there with anyone in my leagues.

I've Bosingwa, Lampard (captain) and A. Cole to play tonight so here's hoping for a Chelsea landslide.

helimachoptor

Lads I need serious help!!

Made some changes to my team and was deducted about 10 points which is fine.

Then got rid of some of the new players I brought in and they had really good weeks and lost about 30,

Then made some more changes and moved out the newest new guys and lost another 30! so I'm down about 70 odd points when i should only be down 10!!!

WTF is going on!

You're only allowed one free transfer a week you know?!
Any more cost 4 points each unless you use the wildcard which you can only do once a season.

Those points are gone!

ah f**k i was for the first time in about 4 years mounting a serious title challenge, is there anyway of me undoing it, maybe a snotty email to the fantasy football gods :eek::eek:

Shurwhynot

Brutal week for me so far. 17 flipping points from 7 players, marney didnt play and i had no sub to come in. A Cole, Lampard (c), and Anelka tonight so i'm hoping to save a bit of face with those 3.
