Mr. Incognito

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

Oh wow- ouch.

But in fairness it does say before you hit the confirm button how many points it will deduct.

roryc

19 points so far

I have L Young (6) and Andrews (3) coming off the bench, and Anelka, Bosingwa and Lampard to play tonight . Will hopefully break 40

I must have been drunker than I thought on Friday night because at some point between stumbling in at 4am and going to sleep I made Ireland my captain :mad:

JPA

Anelka off at half time.

Well Ireland didn't seem the worst candidate on paper since when West Brom do badly, they do very badly.

55 points this week which was not too bad, I brought Matty Taylor in for darren fletcher and that worked a treat, however I took the captaincy away from Van Persie as I had lost patience with him.

Hoping Fellaini gets bonus points, Cech is a cert for them unfortunatly.

Anyway my team for friday:

Schwarzer

Ferdinand
Vidic
Corluka
Kompany
Bosingwa

Young

Crouch

Myhill, Fellaini, Matty Taylor, Agbonlahor

Tricky gameweek ahead with Villa and Arsenal at it.

55 points for the week with one player not playing so not too bad, Barmby was a good sub for the week.
Unfortunately looks like Laursen might miss next game but will Ronnie back.

32 points, a poor week, Cissé is replacing Johnson both in my team and as captain.

OPENROAD

42 points, lost my head to head for third week in a row still, have qualified for the cup.

The question on everyones mind at work this morning...is it time to offload Anelka? Was thinking of bringing in Cisse instead which would free up some much needed money.

Possibly... the choice is YOURS!!

Drogba done laright last night when he came on I thought, he brings a different dimension to the Chelsea attack thats for sure!

Mr. Incognito

Hmmmmmmmmmmm,

Ronaldo is down to 23% selected. I was having a quick look and though I dropped three places in Boards down to 7th only two people above me have him. Considering he has not one but two double games weeks I think that I have a decent chance in the turn into the new year being there-abouts at this stage.

The last two weeks were dire but the saving grace was that EVERYONE had a useless week this week and consolidating will do me just fine coming into the christmas season.

I was considering downgrading Reina for Turnbull and upgrading Ireland for Young but a few things stopped me, Villa have Arsenal and I think Arsenal will beat them. Laursen being out for this game would be a bonus tbh, can't see him picking up anything and a return 4 days later against Hull should see him pick up a clean sheet.

The second consideration is Man City are playing Hull on friday- a fixture that saw Ireland bag two and Giovanni one and the bonus points in the start of the season.

The last one, though I agree with the rotating keeper policy but am a bit lazy to effect is is that the same week Fulham play United, Middlesborough and Turnbull have Chelsea. There'll be no mercy there. by the time the Villa Hull game rolls aroung Youngs value will not allow this move and tbh It 's not worth a 8 point hit.

The thing I think about this game is patience. People chase the form players, which is well and good but you can cut your throat on transfer deductions. I only had 9 players this week refusing to take a transfer hit and still managed to be up there in my league and win my head to head. I've held on to Zaki for the double game-week coming and on value alone. Camara has come in this week as back up and with a view to that Wigan double game week too.

I sincerly hope Lampard will come good sooner rather than later but Ballack seem to cancel him out as they are like for like and neither seem to perform in each others shadow.

My team:

1.Reina

2.Bosingwa
3: Carragher
4: Vidic
5: Laursen
6: Cole A

7: Ronaldo(C)
8: Ireland
9: Geovanni
10: Lampard

11: Zaki

Subs:
12: Schwarzer
Goalkeeper
13: Moore
Forward
14: Camara
Forward
15: Marney
Midfielder

Fabregas is out for 4 month.

KevIRL

Wow the cutoff point for the cup must have been low. I made it in with 35 points

Frankie Lee

I have a tough 1st round opponent, he has 969 points and a good team for the matches on friday so it's looking like a first round exit for me.

Ronaldo transfered back in. Took the risk and put Anelka as captain. West Brom should ship goals away from home.

It's more than likely Ryan Taylor(Wigan), as Matt is classed as a midfielder,Charlie.:)

Those of you who don't have him are completely insane.

Why the fuck was Bosingwa taken off? Bastards.

Clean sheet yet again for Schwarzer.

S.M.B.

Bosingwa is my captain.

Hope you played him this week.

Fecking Ronaldo as captain, hope he can get some Bonus points.

S.M.B.

I think I'll quit the game if Ronaldo gets any bonus points.

OPENROAD

What is the story with Arbeloa

S.M.B.

He's injured.

Average-Ro

Shouldn't Boswinga still get points for a clean sheet?

Mezcita

Nah, players need to play for 60 minutes or more to get clean sheet bonus.

Xavi6

3 assists for Ireland and a goal for Robinho

Damn, that sucks. I have Arbeloa and Laursen in my backline as well....

Davies and Stiensson will come in for them. Here's hoping Bolton do something aginst Liverpool (and I'm aware they're one down already:(....)
