    Siggy ain't coming on by the looks of things :(

    Ah, didn't realise you only had three defenders so Bruce is your autosub.

    Since we both have Terry and Fabregas it looks like I need Costa to score to steal the win.

    I'll see you in GW19 for the rematch. I wonder what our squads will look like then!

    Ramsey moves Monkey Business back into the lead. Both have three Chelsea left so it's down to Coutinho to save the tie for me.

    So I'm basically screwed....

    Thanks for that Couts old buddy.

    Unless John Terry scores an OG and gets sent of I shall start the season pointless.

    Third lowest score of the gang so far. Early favourite for the drop I fear.

    Sterling just got me off to a wining start as we both have fab and costa remaining.

    Congrats, good win. Had to make a call between Sterling and Coutinho and obviously chose the wrong one!

    I guess that would mean that i would finish top :)

    I always say though that's it's a marathon not a sprint so anything could happen yet.

    Probably a good sign that we don't all have exactly the same teams!

    Not true, i have noted that Rory has the exact same team as me apart from Isgrove. He scored higher though due to not benching sig. Even with similiar teams benching and captaincy will be a differentiator so i imagine draws will be very rare. I could be wrong though as i have never done H2H leagues before.

    Was touch and go for a while last night against Syria Ah (dathijjj) but thanks to a BP from Costa got my season off to an expected but nervous start.
    Watch out for Syria Ah though, serious title contenders and will be there or there abouts in the run in.
    Next for my Erzgebirge Scrooge is FriendsInLoewPlaces (fhfc), who will be hurting I'm sure form this weeks loss but will probably be in the hunt come prize giving time.

    Whats the craic with points hits in these head to head leagues? Would they take 4 points away from your score if you make 2 transfers this week. I'm not actually planning on doing it this week but I'm sure I will sooner or later.

    You must be the clear favorite now, much rather be the underdog myself.

    One game is a bit much to declare a "clear favourite". It is a bit like celebrating someone for leading at the first 1km point of a marathon :eek:

    I'm second from bottom (thanks to los pollos hermanos:o) so i'm putting week 1 behind me, it's a marathon blah, blah, blah.
    Playing Iago this week coming, he's done a lot better this week but hopefully i'll get the win, wouldn't like to be on 0 points after two weeks.

    I wonder what the equivalent of the proverbial 40 points = safety will be in this league? There will be a lot less draws in this so the target would presumably be higher. 50 maybe even 60 points?

    Was thinking that myself it certainly won't be 60 pts as that's 20 wins. 14 wins 42 pts maybe.

    Yeah I didn't enter the paid H2H as it's too distracting. This league is good for a bit of fun but it won't have any affect on my transfers or captain. I learned from previous seasons once you start changing your team to beat each new rival it will negatively affect your overall score as you start playing week to week instead of looking ahead.

    I'm up against Syria Ah in this weeks PL H2H - he has no Costa!
