jesus_thats_gre

So so, 48 with Gerrard, Torres (c), Arteta and Baines to play.

Hughes is my first sub and Wilkinson my second.

Xavi6

72 thanks to captain Carlos and young Johnson. Honourable mention to Etherington as well.

Have Torres, Arteta and Baines still to go.

Smegball

56 with Insua,Distin,Arteta and Torres to play.

Hoping Arteta and either one of Insua/Distin don't play, have Etherington with 9 and Collins with 8 sitting on the bench

Probably my favourite .gif in the world.

f**k what a disaster bringing him in last week was :mad:

I decided to sub him out for Pienaar as he was doubtful. Glad he misses out completely otherwise he would probably have outscored Pienaar!

Bah, I was looking at my transfers for next few weeks, I'm 0.1 away from having the team I want. Hate it when that happens.

I have Dunne sitting on my bench with 8 or 9 points

Jigga

Fair dues to all who kept faith in Gerrard! Just hope Torres gets the finger out now

Disaster!

Liam Ridgewill got me a goal though so not a complete catastrophe today

Everything working out good.. Two lads above in private league hav torres captain nd I went for teves.. I have Baines who's on a clean sheet and I got kranjcar instead of arteta..

v3ttel

Why was Torres subbed, did he pick up a knock? Nearly everyone seems to have him now. Thankfully most of my rivals went with Torres as Capt and I went with Tevez.

Made up for the general rubbishness of my team this week.

Seems so, had an ice pack on his knee after he came off

Lex Luthor

luckily with Arteta not playing I got my 9pts for Young. All is not lost. Gained about 8pts on the leader. Still 33 behind. Gaining momentum with 5 weeks left. At one stage was over 100 behind. Still how good it could have been if Bent hadn't fcuked up.

Also thanks to Ridgewell. Hopefully he'll get a bonus pt or 2

Mars Bar

Finish with 64 before today's bonus points. Don't think I'll be getting anything out of the bonuses but stranger things have happened.

Robbed today

First Bent misses 2 penalties :mad: and loses out on 2 extra bonus points so instead of 21 he gets me 7 :mad:

Instead of 42 he got me 14.

Bent missed two penalties? Didn't know that...
75 points after bonus nd very happy. Got a 100 point gap down to 21 points in the last month or two..

Mint Sauce

60, happy out, might need to take another 4pt + hit again though next week

didn't finish on a clean sheet though, might have even got bonus points only for that

Johner

65 for me.

JPA

78 but spent 4 on a transfer. Gera got 8 points, nice when you get points from your cheapo superstars.

karma_

77 for me, was hoping for more from the 4 players I had playing today but they only scored 2 points each. Still happy enough with teh 77 in fairness.

Hmmmm, interesting. I wonder if he is a doubt for next week? His price went up last night.

Johner

Fabregas and Modric out - Lampard and A.Johnson in. Probably jinxed it making the subs this early though.

It's a fairly silly thing to do in fairness.. I know the logic off players getting more expensive but it's still not worth doing it early.

Juan Pablo

Bit of a disaster this week, 48 after taking a 4 point hit. Down to 3rd in the boards league and the chasing pack got some points back in my mini leagues. Pineaar as drunken Good Friday captain choice not so wise now

Meh, I'll usually just forget though tbh.

77 with a 4 point hit, had gera myself very happy with this week

Johnson's next five are Birmingham, Utd, Arsenal, Villa, Spurs.

I know he's still cheap and Villa and Spurs is a DGW but I get the feeling that if you haven't had him for the last few weeks, you've missed the boat on this one

At this stage Bullard, Ethrington, Dunn seem better options.

Xavi6

Finished on 84 so quite happy.

Cuellar and his 6 points came in for Arteta.

Johner

Johnson is only for next week against Birmingham at home.

Zabaleta for Zubar
Bendtner for Bent

Opened up safari there to see and it's working fine for me.

Although Safari has been freezing and messing up the past week, well my sister uses safari on my mac, I use Google Chrome.

oh right, thanks.
but i think i know what is wrong it could be that i restored my mac last week, and there is over 1GB of updates to be done. Am going to have to wait until next week to do them in the college though as only getting a MB connection here and could take forever.

Ah yes, the good old college connection. I do the same thing too!

KevIRL

73 points this week, 21st on Boards and about the 3500 mark overall

Zabaleta? As in the suspended Zabaleta who is pretty much a guaranteed yellow card?

I'd look somewhere else.

Keano

71 this week. Very happy as made lots of ground it my leagues.

Whoops, I meant Zubar for Zabaleta, Zab's gone either way so it's the second sub I'm pondering

TheChrisD

Made up four places in my most closely contested private league this week, jumping from 8th to 4th

Fourth place to eleventh place are covered by only 27 points. 46 point gap from 3rd to 4th...

Frisbee

A nice 70.

Ridgewell came in with 8 points for Arteta.

If Bent hadn't contrived to miss two peno's it could have been a much better week.

Vokes

Fulham vs Stoke game has been moved from next gameweek back to May.

Really? That changes things.

* stuff Duff back on bench *

Although I still think Sorenson will do better (vs Wolves) than Hart (vs Man City) this week.

Double C

Hart wont play against City will he? Parent club and all that?

If that Fulham game isnt on this week that means buying Dempsey last week wasnt the best of moves!
