Do they let you look up past choices for that captain poll?

I'd love to see its record, and see how many top choices it has when you remove RVP from the equation.

I always watch it myself and its been fairly consistent throughout the season for decent captain returns. The leading choice mightn't always get the top return but they're normally up there.

Just got a text from my friend there saying he has taken another 8 point hit this week. He took a 12 point one last week. It's pure desperation from him. I have a 57 point lead at this stage. That has stretched to 65 with this news now.

He says he has an unreal team now. Somehow I doubt it.

Anytime I thought that, my team does sub average. Its often the weeks that you just hope to survive so you can make changes the next are the ones that you do nicely.

Trying to catch someone in a league leads to risks and mistakes. All you have to do give yourself the best chance of scoring points without taking points hits and you'll do better than you think. Even RVP is prone to scoring 2 in a GW

Especially when you are forced to put in a player who then plays great.

I think I'm going to stick to my plan of no points hits. My friend has taken around 50 this season, and that's the amount pretty much that separates us at the moment.

Good point about RVP. I just checked. He has as many 2 pointers as he does double digit scores.

Of course he is capable of getting 12, 11, 19, 11 and 13 in consecutive weeks and basically ****ing you completely over if you don't have him on your team.

Kompany just tweeted to say he's out of the City game tomorrow

The_Kew_Tour · 23-03-2012 7:11pm

Glad I got Valencia at 7.5mil now

Got him in straight after the Wolves game,going to play a 3-5-2 formation for the first time,am I mad to leave Ba on the bench? The only midfielder I could consider dropping for him is McLean.

keano_afc · 24-03-2012 1:40am

Yeah I'm unsure what formation to play tomorrow, at the moment its 3-4-3 with Siggy, Valencia, Bale and Silva behind Cisse, RvP and Rooney. I'm unsure whether to go 3-5-2 and bring McLean in for Cisse.

Thoughts?

Fizman · 24-03-2012 4:19am

All 11 starters are at home this GW, all of which look nice on paper. I'm expecting (and badly in need of) a big score!

Jax Teller · 24-03-2012 11:56am

Apparently Silvas first 100 points came in the first 16 weeks and in his last 13 weeks he's only scored 50 .

The key thing with Silva is that he hasn't looked like he's going to hit form anytime soon. There have been absolutely no signs of a pick up in fortunes for him.

There's an excellent chance he'll be rested for the game today btw.

carlcon · 24-03-2012 12:32pm

I hate having a striker on my bench. I only remember willingly doing it once, when I figured Stoke at home to Newcastle would be fairly strong at the back. Up steps Ba with his hat-trick to make me look like a right idiot.

Cue Pogrebnyak stormer in Old Trafford.

carlcon · 24-03-2012 1:15pm

3 of the Boards top 5 have RVP as captain, 2 have Rooney. Makes things that much more interesting!

dublinhead · 24-03-2012 1:30pm

I'm 3rd in boards league. Played the wildcard 7 changes. (Time to push on to the top!!)
First 11 all playing at home. Will see what happens!!! Hoping bale does nothing as I have him benched.

carlcon · 26-03-2012 12:39am

This is weird... just saw the score updates. I only have 27 points but still managed to get all green arrows. I presume if Rooney bags a couple, they'll quickly turn red.

But for now, back in the top 100! 14th in Ireland isn't hurting either.

DazzlerIE · 26-03-2012 1:33am

I have 24 with 5 to come off the bench in the shape of BAE

also Rooney, Valencia and Evans to play, so should end up above you carlcon

Young -v- Valencia it is!

DazzlerIE · 26-03-2012 2:39am

ah didn't realise you had Young

could go either way so

Thanos · 26-03-2012 7:58am

Come on Young!!
After the no shop of RVP (3 goals for them and he does not even get an assist, what are the odds???) need an no show for Rooney as most others have him as captain.
If Young can do all the scoring AND keep Valencia from chipping in, all the better (not asking much :rolleyes: )

roryc · 26-03-2012 9:15am

All aboard the Valencia train... CHOO CHOO

I know the BP debate has been done to death, but, seriously..Taiwo??

kennyb3 · 26-03-2012 9:45am

Three for taiwo and only 2 for mclean is a f'ucking joke no two ways about it. Mcclean scored, had an assist, produced a great bit of skill to set up the 3rd goal and generally played super. Taiwo took a nice free kick and was part of a back four that conceded three goals. Getting beyond a joke

GetWithIt · 26-03-2012 9:45am

Disappointed I didn't have the courage of my convictions re: Silva > Toure. 7 points would make a huge difference this GW.

Lemlin · 26-03-2012 10:49am

16 points I had yesterday with BAE to come in with six. I was still 8th in the league Saturday evening but not sure how yesterday/bonus points have now effected that.

Transfer was a fail with Yakubu in for Suarez. I had to do the move to get Rooney in for Ade though and I do think the Yak will come good. It was just the worst time imaginable to play a highly motivated Bolton team.

FutureGuy · 26-03-2012 10:57am

My advice for this morning regarding FF.

"Breattttthhhheeeeeeeeeeeee....."

roryc · 26-03-2012 11:04am

A bad score isn't really that bad this week. If you are sitting on <20 then you'll probably only lose 10-15 max on your opponents, if even that. Its nowhere near as bad as not having the right players in a 'big' week, where you could end up 30-40 points behind.

The guy with the best score this week doesn't have Rooney, Van Persie, Bale or Silva

Cantona's Collars · 26-03-2012 11:39am

The brother in law set up a team around GW 3,he still has Arshavin,Agger (injured) and Delph:eek:

He has 45 points so far with 14 to come off his bench,his captain is Holohan.Weird how the sun shines on a dogs arse sometimes.:pac:

Here's us with our 'super teams' scrambling around on half that score this week.

Anyhow,c'mon United tonight.3 points with goals,assists & clean sheets from Rooney,Valencia & Evans.

thunderdog · 26-03-2012 11:47am

I see Walcott has managed to squeeze himself into the overall dream team. First time this season I think
