    Sold Silva on my cup team,reckoned it was a risk worth taking,got Walcott in for him....

    VORM
    SIMPSON-EVANS-SKRTEL

    VALENCIA--BALE--SIGGY--WALCOTT

    CISSE--ROONEY--RVP

    Unsure who to captain just yet.......also have Taylor on bench so may gamble on Swansea clean sheet and play him as well as Vorm

    Winner of the inaugural fpl cup wooden spoon prize. I'm lost for words :)

    I'd like to thank Pavel Progrebnyak, my captain, for a useless 2 points, Stephen Kelly, for some horrendous defending, and Jonathan Evans, for failing to come off the bench when I asked him too. I apologize if I've left anyone out. I'm feeling a bit emotional :)

    Haha, just looked at my opponent. Has McClean and Holt, and captained Young. I'm conceding defeat and cheering them on, because if Young shines tomorrow and Rooney doesn't do much, then I'm gonna storm ahead in the Boards league and my money league.

    May the odds be in your favour, rosskind!

    In my game I have a 3 point lead. Both of us have Evans and Rooney left. It's just a shoot out between Young for me and Valencia for him. It could all be wrapped up around 7.30 when the team is announced. I hope to god that Young starts this week.

    Balls. Think I'm finally out of the main FF Cup. He's got 36 vs my 29

    Me: Rooney, Valencia + Evans
    Him: Dempsey, Evra

    Is another Evans goal too much to ask for!

    I still think you'll go through, a goal from Rooney or Valencia and you'll be laughing!! I can't see Dempsey getting more than 2 & Evans and Evra cancel each other out (pretty much), so that leaves you with Rooney and Valencia to destroy an off form Fulham tonight :)

    Well seeing as a lot of rivals (including 4th place in boards league) have Rooney as captain, I'd prefer to see the points coming from Valencia! A single goal from him and everyone else having a quiet game should be enough to see me through...

    Will accept a Rooney goal though if it gets me a win :)

    Going out due to Rooney (C) bonus points. Its a tie if he gets none. Highly unlikely! Fair play froog.

    Neck and neck between myself and Sasquatch. Both on 52 points atm. I have 1 point to come off the bench and potential bonus to come for Rooney, Jevans or Valencia. He has potential bonus to come from (c) Rooney but no other players. If it's a draw, I'll go through cause my captain got less than his. 2 BPs between Jevans and Val and I'm through!

    Thank you J. Evans...

    Wow, forgot I signed up to this :D Have been staying consistent these last couple of weeks and was up to 12th in Ireland there before the United game (I dropped 5 places after despite having Rooney and Evans which sucked but leaves me in a good position for next week.

    I'm coming for ye :) (not really, most of my players are away next week and I'll probably be KOed.)

    Didn't expect to get through again considering I had a poor enough weekend but delighted to be through to the next round.

    Didn't someone mention at the start that this was twenty a head? ;)

    Would only have beaten 4 of the other 15 players so can't really complain about coming up against the person with the top score for the week!

    That's the nature of H2H competition. I got very lucky though.

    I've grown to hate H2H leagues with a passion. I'm doing the boards one and I'm coming 25th out of 50 entries.

    If it was points based then I'd be second to Carlcon. There's one guy ahead of me that is 300 points behind me usually. Somehow he has one more win than me.

    I can't see myself moving from this position. I lost my last game by one point. If I'd gotten him the week before I'd have beaten him handily.

    Too much luck involved imo. I definitely wouldn't be paying to enter one anyway.

    Having said all that I'm looking forward to the draw tomorrow morning for the FSA Cup. Hopefully I get a good match-up with a few of the big names already knocked out.
