no zaki so another (at best) 10-player week for me thanks to having bosingwa, zaki, ireland and hamann in the squad. 56 points with ronaldo and davies to play though so it could be worse.

make that 9. I had o'brien too. Got 72 points though which is my best score since week 13.

Zaki's doomed. Bruce described him as "the most unprofessional player I have ever worked with" this week. Zaki and Mido also not getting on. I'd be surprised if he played for Wigan again.

yeah...i think i might have been incorrect in my prediction of zaki making a big return to form with the improved weather. A definite candidate for transfer at this point.

83 for me. Say ill be close to breaking into the top 10 on boards this week and the top 1000 in the world.

Out of curiosity how many of the top 10 in the boards league actually post here??

I post here, I'm in 4th at the moment. A few of the top teams are late entrants though. I'm not sure if they are even posters on boards.

thewools

Up to 24th now - only 90points behind the leader... EASY!!! :P

83 points this weekend - mainly due to my midfield trio of Ronaldo, Lamps and Gerrard...

Mr. Incognito

I've been in the top ten all year. Although dropped to 12th last week on the back of my worst week in years. After taking a 12 point hit this week I still managed to climb to 11th.

My squad now has 2 everton defenders, on united, one pool, one chelsea and swartzer with lamps, gerrard and ronaldo so I've a bit of climbing left to do

Sounds very similar to my team - without the 2nd Everton defender however!!

Good team then

Why would you want to?

will1977

Just to see how I compare against the rest of you's !

BaZmO*

Well how many points are you on at the moment?

will1977

It's a simple question really.

You asked......

Now, if you want to know where you stand within the Boards League all you have to do is say how many points you're on.

The current leader is on 1799pts. and the guy in 50th is on 1667pts., and personally I'm on 1617pts.

will1977

So your answer is "it depends on how many points I have ?? "
I have 1614 points. So now can I enter

Thinking of a double transfer this week.Getting rid of Arshavin for Crouch and transferring in Fabregas for Cahill.

1mcampo1

Does anyone know if gerrard is playing or is he out for sure?

Have no 9dea.This is rafa we are talking about.

1mcampo1

True! Not sure who to put captain now, lampard, torres, beattie?!

He'll be automatically substituted but the captaincy won't be.

Macker1

your first sub comes in providing you maintian a valid formation but the captaincy is forfeit.

cheers..looks like its gona be a slow week for me this week so, unless milner plays an absolute stormer of a game!

Mr.Nice Guy

I put the captaincy on Ashley Cole. Andy O'Brien just cost me a sh*tload of points. :mad:

Edit: And Chelski just conceded two more. Can't believe this game sometimes!

KevIRL

38 points with 5 to play. Talk about a tricky week!

1mcampo1

52 with 6 players to play and bonus points to come. Everton keeping a clean sheet wouldn't go astray!!

Xavi6

Horrendous. No Gerrard, no Nasri, Ronaldo as captain....

At least Kevin Davies did me proud.

18 points.This sucks!

Mr.Nice Guy

Nightmare. 22 points with 3 still to play.

jesus_thats_gre

51 with 5 to play. Not a bad week

tribulus

Thank god for Frank Lampard and the splendid form of Davies.

37 with four to play, though I've two Fulham players and one Man City player.

KevIRL

Bonus points in.

44 points now with 4 to play. Cant see them scoring all that much though tbh

jesus_thats_gre

Boom, up to 64 points with 4 to play!!

1mcampo1

60 with Matty Taylor to come in and still 4 to play, looking a good enough week!

Panthro

52 points and waiting for the captained gerrard to be substituted for milner..not terrible i suppose..if zamora or murphy get a goal happy days

Mr.Nice Guy

Didn't think today could be as bad as yesterday but I ended up with 33 points and Clint Dempsey (15 pts) on my bench.

F*cking game! :mad:

Frisbee

Dempsey on my bench for the sake of Adebayor getting 23 fcuking minutes.

Absolute disaster...

OPENROAD

66 points, won my head to head by 1 point so remain top of my head to head league and also just outside the top 80 in boards league,very happy with that.

Nuri Sahin

60 and 84 points

Dempsey, Torres(C), Taylor and Reina.... thank you

Xavi6

My main team got a measly 32 while my SSF team bagged 63.

titan18

Shocking week for me.38 points after making 3 transfers, transferred out Arshavin, Taylor on the bench, Ronaldo as captain.

KevIRL

Ended up on 67 points. Mainly down to Lampard and Clint Dempsey

will1977

Another good week. Finished up on 75. Bit worried about this weekend though !

Rikand

Whats the story with Agbonlahor ? Is he gonna be out for a long time?

O'Neill is "hopeful" he'll play again this season so I'd get him out.

thewools

After last weeks disaster - looking at a few changes...

Seen Caicedo last night and was kind of impressed, will be starting in the league now?? Xavi you might know better

Think Evans will have to go now as Rio and Vidic are back.

Also last week Gerrard, Skrtel (Pool) and Alex (Chelsea) didnt play last week for me so anyone think they will come back in to start now??

CRISIS :mad:

Xavi6

Hard to know if Caicedo will play. He SHOULD on last night's performance, plus Benjani and Bellamy aren't fit.

However we're at home to West Brom so I expect another lacklustre struggle.

Thinking I should stay clear but still tempted - there's Sturridge, Evans, Robinho & Bojinov all possible contenders too for starting up front...

wigan are not playing this week. portsmouth are paying twice

Bit reluctant to bring in any Pompey players this year though - dont think I had one this year...
