Vidic is not crossed out in the above team after the points hit.

The formatting is actually there but it won't strikeout for some reason

Anyway, tis gonna be a bad week.

Iago

fcuk moyes anyway.

First he rests lescott just in case he picks up a booking to miss an fa cup game, then when a defender gets injured he brings on a half fit midfielder for him instead of lescott.


yes lescott is my captain this week :mad:

titan18

Ya, I hate Moyes after this.What's he playin at?

Mezcita

Nah Moyes is a legend. Assist by bargain Baines. Goal by captain Cahill.

Marvellous.

Lescott was about to come on.I hate Saha.

MementoMori

Cahill as captain has worked out nicely - as he's surely a shoe in for some bonus points - just a shame about the disallowed goal.

Silver-Tiger

have cahill with the armband aswell. Hopefully him and jagielka pick up a few bonus aswell.

Xavi6

Good oul Bainesy pickin up 9 points

From what I've read/heard those two and Baines have to be favourites for the bonus points - my prediction/hope is Cahill 3, Baines 2 and Jagielka 1, although trying to predict bonus points is a mugs game

Mr.Nice Guy

Lescott doesn't play, Cech concedes late on, not looking forward to this week's points tally.

Xavi6

Mark Scwarzer is a clean sheet merchant!

Could have went with him but thought he'd have a miserable afternoon against Van Persie and co.!

KevIRL

35 points pre bonus

Trippie

My defense has not conceded a goal in four games now

titan18

33 points with 6 to play.I wish Lescott has played though.

Amen, he's great at the moment. Just as well cause i've no proper replacement.

I have 18 from 4 players.

48 with 4 to play. Decent return given the number of changes everyone had tomake this week. Captain Cahill did well as did Jagielka, Lampard and Baines. Should get some decent bonus points..if anyone other than Cahill gets the 3 this week it will be a disgrace.

Ireland, Bellamy, Mendy and Davies to play. Hoping for 16-20 from those 4.

RVP has been in the last chance saloon for 2 weeks. If it was anyone other than WBA next week, he'd be gone. Anelka dropped back to the wing today-he would have been my replacement.

KevIRL

46 points after the bonus, with 6 left to play.

Jagielka 3 points, Baines 2 points, Cahill 1 point. Cahill was captain so hoping for more for him. 3 more on Shwarzer so I'm now on 61.

Sherifu

Up to 24 now.

10 from Schwarz, 10 from Lamps, 4 from Jo and Bos was suspened.

Xavi6

31 so far. 5 including the skipper to go.

tribulus

Schwarzer is a god amongst men.

38 with 4 to play. Only have 9 players to get points this week.

titan18

Up to 45 after the bonus points.

Mr.Nice Guy

A disappointing 11 points with 6 still to play. Gutted I left Schwarzer on the bench.

Iago

should have made jagielka captain :mad:

35 points with 4 left to play and Lescott scoring 0 as captain is disappointing.

With Vidic, Ronaldo & berbatov on the bench there'll be no help from there.

Kev_ps3

45 pts, nearly half coming from my captain Lamps. 3 more to play:pac:

Frisbee

Looking through one of my private leagues there and it amazes me that pople still have RVP in their team, and as captain...

Mezcita

3rd best striker (by points) in the league.

Agree that he is on a poor run at the moment though.

Aye, but it's madness to leave him in when we haven't even scored in four games...

Mezcita

Ah yeah, they've been poor this season.

Does a lot though, assuming he gets the ball. Good for the odd bonus as well. Not sure who to dump him for.

Not another Arsenal Player

roryc

Finally having Keith Andrews in my team paid off!

Brought in Warnock aswell cos Blackburn have a double gameweek coming up, he scores and assists Andrews for 13 points! Would have been 18 only that he got a yellow card and hull scored late...

56 points this week, not bad....

Mr.Nice Guy

My worst week of the season. A paltry 19 points which plunges me down to 67th in the Boards League.

The fact I transferred in Gamst-Pedersen and the wally went and got sent off pretty much capped off the weekend really!

Bring on the next round...

+1

titan18

67 points this week, happy with that.I finished 1st in the league for February, now pushing for a top 100 place.

Lescott not playing worked out well as Collision came on for him.

Rikand

After a triple injury blow I burnt my wildcard last week and dropped some dead weight aswell. 58 points for this week, not bad and back to moving up inside the top 200 of the boards league aswell as being top of a couple of my other smaller leagues

I almost transferred him earlier today. But decided to hold off just in case.

Phew!

60 points this week

Xavi6

An average enough 42 has me 152nd in the Boards league.

Mezcita

64 for me. The decision to drop Schwarzer for Duke now looks like complete and utter madness.

The thing I've found with Schwarzer is that even if Fulham get battered he still always picks up bonus points and save points which makes up for the lack of clean sheet bonus.

Wouldn't dream of dropping him any week.

Mr. Incognito

A Monster 65 and I'm up to 355th in the world and 6th in Boards.

Schwartzer 10
Lamps 10
Jagielka 9

Beattie with an assist, Ashbee comes off the bench to score.:P

The only thing that mucked it was having Lescott and with Ronaldo, Vidic and Bosingwa benched nothing to come in.

I have a secret weapon captain this week!

The only problem I have is who to drop, C. Cole, Beattie or Ireland. Man C are home to Villa, Stoke home to in-form Bolton and West Ham away, so Ireland is the percentage call drop but I just can't. I think Cole may warm the bench this week.

Will Lescott start or are they going to wrap him in cotton wool until after the FA cup quarter final?

Sherifu

51

Warnock proved an inspired transfer this week and Cole bless his heart came in with 3 bonus points.

Kev_ps3

Thinking of dropping Agbonlahor soon, only scored 1 in his last 10 games. Anyone got any suggestions? (same value or less btw).. Nice 54 pts this week aswell..

I've had him in since the beginning of the season and he's been a great buy. I have Green also and at the beginning of the season I just rotated them and it generally got me a good return.

Why anybody would pay an extra 2m for the likes of Cech or Reina I'll never understand.

eirebhoy

It's depressing reading this thread every week as it only seems to be people that are doing well that reply.

Beattie looks a steal at £5.6m. Highest points average in the game at the moment. I'm losing patience with expensive strikers who don't score enough goals.

51 points which is good seeming as Lescott(C) didn't even start.I was watching a stream and he was about to come on when that stupid sicknote Saha scored!:mad:

OPENROAD

67 points this week, very happy with that, made two transfers this week that worked out very well,got rid of Rio Ferdinand for Baines and got rid of Dempsey for Cahill, could have been an event better week,but chose to give the captaincy to RVP rather than Lampard.

FutureGuy

Hit the big 70 this week thanks to Lampard (10), Baines (11) Schwarzer (10) and captain Cahill (18). Had 4 playing yesterday who brought in total of 9 points

Ireland isn't doing a tap points-wise, but he's definately feast or famine...I'll drip him and he'll score 15

So up 100 places on boards and have made good ground in other leagues.
