Will finish on 63. My mates lead cut from 79 to 30 in a couple of weeks and I feel I have the better team going into the final 3 weeks.

Exciting!

Xavi6

Bonus points for Benayou + Baines = 71 points now. Great week.

39 pts, worst week yet.. Captain Torres and Ronaldo were my big letdown.. :

I know the feeling, thought Ronaldo wouldn't play but was expecting big things from Torres against Newcastle, its a pity.

OPENROAD

55 points for the week, not enough to win my top of the table clash in my head to head league but I still lead by one point, continue to move up the boards league, into the top 60 now.

Have still to use my wildcard, anyone in the same situation, reckon I will use before the end of the season.

thewools

55 points this week myself - now 25th in the Boards League!!

I can still win this thing

Sherifu

52, happy enough with that considering i had 3 fulham guys in defence and my captain didn't play.

Frisbee

Finished on 69

Rikand

Is it worth putting a Wigan defender into the team this week, I know they have WBA, but they also have United.

eirebhoy

Wigan then have Stoke and Portsmouth so definitely worth sticking one of their players in. I'm going with N'Zogbia since he's listed as a defender.

Ronaldo will be a popular captain this week no doubt.

Mezcita

Big week. Five goals for Ronaldo please.

Schwarzer

Hangeland Carragher Evra Baines


Lampard Taylor Ronaldo (C) Carrick


Arshavin Zaki


Subs: Duke, Upson, Ireland, Sibide (fecked)

Zaki is a bit risky as he may not start. Can see Carrick only playing one game as well.

Looks like Arshavin will miss the Chelsea match through the Flu. Might be a good time to swap to Rooney given the double gameweek.

Osman was rested last week so hopefully will play. If not then I have a double game weeker to come in for him. The two Bolton lads get in with a home game against an awful Sunderland.

Robinho has 3 in 3 so might do something against United and Ronaldo as captain is a no brainer. Rooney in for Arshavin too.

I might be in for a rough week, have vidic in for captain though. two clean sheets would be nice

Soby

Best buy ever..Chris Brunt...cant stop scoring

pwd

second goal for fortune.
He is my first sub. I don't think he'll get into my team though, unless zaki stays on the bench for this and the next game...
edit: yeah zaki's on now already.

He missed a damn penalty though.

JPA

Gerrard misses a penalty but scores the follow up but still loses 2 points.
Very harsh.

Nuri Sahin

61 points with Vidic and Alex to play.

token56

Can someone explain to me why Melchiot has been given 4 saves. A mistake surely?

Mr. Incognito

Chelsea are playing arsenal next week and United have a double game week.

Shifted Lampard Out for Gerrard right now before Gerrard's price rises. No champions league for the pool and he looked dangerous today- should have had two goals at least.

Liverpool have West Ham. West Brom and Tottenham left.

Arsenal have Man Utd and Chelsea to Play in their next two.

Captaincy will be Ronnie then Gerrard for me for the next two weeks- here's hoping for a decent run in.

Tasty Tasty Stevie G.

35 With Evra, A. Vidic and Ronaldo (c) playing twice. A Cole. And Ardshavan left- here's hoping he recovers.

Think defenders can get bonuses for blocks. Very unusual though

KevIRL

45 points with 10 more coming off the bench from Lawrence

Still have Ronaldo (c) Rooney and Ryan Taylor to play as well

Nuri Sahin

78 points with Vidic to play again.

titan18

46 points with Ronaldo(C),Evra,Berbatov and Figuerora to play

thewools

58 points so far with Ronaldo (C), Vidic and Evra still to play again...

Up to 22nd in the league... Getting there!! :rolleyes:

I think that must be a mistake though. If you going into the Defenders section and filter it for "Saves" Melchiot has been given 4 saves from the match the other day, the only other player that has any is Cuellar how is on 1 from a few weeks back.

Surely they can't be the only defenders to save a ball off the line this season?

FutureGuy

59 with Ronaldo (c), VDS, Rooney and Figueroa to play. Close to the boards top 100 and reduced an 80 point lead by my rival to just 8.

joe123

48 with 2 to come from beattie and ron,evra and vds to play again. Finally broke into the worlds top 1000 club yay!

Frisbee

38 with 6 to come off the bench and then Evra, Evans and Rooney (C) to play again

mcw92

58 with evra, vidic, ronaldo(c) and melchiot to play.
gona be a good week.

Apparently and I didnt see the game so I'm not sure, but when Kirkland went off, he was in goal for a few minutes and made the saves.I saw that on another forum.

Mezcita

That doesn't make any sense.

Kirkland went off about ten minutes into that game so Wigan obviously had subs available to stick in their spare keeper.

Seems to be a mistake.

Edit: 500 posts! Scorchio!

Mr.Nice Guy

Crap week. Just 36. :mad:

Rikand

40 points. If I didnt have vidic as Captain, I would have been ruined!

Panthro

finished on 82 points.
now im 301 in the boards league, reckon im still in there!:D
my team for the week:

jaaskelainen

o shea
alex
carragher

fletcher
murphy
lampard
benayoun
gerrard(c)

anelka
tevez

Mr.Nice Guy

Better luck for me this week. I sold Van Persie and brought in Defoe. Whacked the captaincy on Keano as well. Happy days as they've helped me to 40 provisional points with 3 still to come.

Mr. Incognito

89!

Sweet- Stevie G as captain does the business brought in anelka for ardshavan too.

Think I'm 365th in world now and kicking ass for may 66, 74 and 89 last three game weeks!

Sherifu

66 finishing strong

Frisbee

62
Bringing in Malouda and Anelka (C) was awesome :D:D

Im_No_Superman

71 this week. Transfering in Captain Gerrard for Lampard worked out a treat.

pwd

Think ronaldo will be rested for the last league match? They've already won the league and all.

Mr.Nice Guy

I ended up with 57 points. Lost my head-to-head by a point.

I reckon he'll actually play due to the fact he's currently tied with Anelka on 18 goals in the race to win the Premiership's golden boot. Gerrard's on 16 as well and could be a dark horse for it. I bet Ronaldo's asked Fergie to let him start. It wouldn't surprise me if the likes of Gibson come in for Carrick and other changes like that but I wouldn't give up on Ronaldo just yet.

Was thinking the same thing myself. When he was interviewed on the pitch after the match on Saturday the guy interviewing him ask him about being top goalscorer and he seemed adamant enough that he wanted to play next week.

It's a tricky one though, will Fergie risk him just before the final? He might let him play the first half, but who knows.

thewools

52 points this week... bit mehhhh :mad:

Was going to transfer Saha in too but talked myself out of it!! In one of my other leagues I've just passed out the leader so hopefully I can get another decent week this weekend!!

FutureGuy

Pulled back a 78 point deficit 4 weeks ago to just a single point as of this week.

My transfers bit me in the arse this week. Brought in Lampard and Calciedo (sub) for Crouch and Kuyt. Bacause of that, I put the captaincy on Lamard and not Gerrard.

Id be 20 points ahead

OPENROAD

57 points this week sees me win my head to head match and so win the league , I have a six point gap. I'm top in a couple more of my private leagues with a good lead as for the boards league, I'm just in the top 50. I have yet to use my wildcard this season but will use it for the last gameweek.

thewools

This weekend could be a disaster for me - I have 3 Utd players: Vidic, Evra, and Ronaldo. Chances are Fergie could rest them all if he wanted :rolleyes:

I reckon Ronaldo would want to play to secure his Golden boot again but the gaffer calls the shots...

thewools

Looking at my team just there...

Schwarzer

Paintsil, Alex, Lescott

Ireland, Lampard, Brunt, A.Young

Bendtner, Beattie, Elmander

Bench: Turnbull, Vidic, Ronaldo, Evra

Have a possible 11 that might all start. But wouldnt be too confident on scoring too highly with that bunch...

Was thinking on making drastic changes to ensure I stay on top of my personal league! Only 2 points clear though!!!

If I sell Ronaldo, Vidic and Elmander and bring in Gerrard, Arshavin, and maybe an Arsenal defnder would it be worth taking the 8 points hit??

That would leave me 6 points down going into the final week :rolleyes:
