    Last weekend madness. Have taken a four point hit to make 3 transfers, get rid of two out of three injuried players, have 3 City players, and bring in Cisse for Newcastle.

    :D

    Must get back into the Boards top 700.

    Oh, and Yaya Toure as Captain.

    COM ON CITY!!!

    Torres as captain. I can see Chelsea stuffing Blackburn. 2000 points is my target. I'd need an epic week scoring-points wise to reach that target (80 points or so). 4 players in. Feck it. He who dares :pac: I have a feeling Bogdan will have a monster score this week :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    *yawn* So lads (and lad-ettes), are we ready?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭grohlisagod


    Gone balls to the wall with Rooney-Aguero-RVP up top and Maloney and Hoolahan in the middle.

    This is me right now.

    Good work Mr Mod


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Bale at left back. Could play havoc with his scores.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,936 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    40 points behind in money league so Lampard as captain and 4 point hit to get Bale in for Dempsey and now he's left back............fail...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Evans the f-er. Wasted my transfer getting W.Gallas in. Had to do it as i had 3 red flag defenders.

    Ah feck. 3rd choice sub with 2 Sunderland players ahead of him.

    :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,406 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    Johnny Evans starting is good news! Even though everyone has him a few in my league had him on the bench.

    Aguero as captain....let's go City!

    That's the second time in a row Yossi has scored in the first 5 minutes. And I get why you said Yossi now but I thought it read "Ade goal, Yossi assist".


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    Norwich and Wolves goals.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    Jarvis for Wolves and Holt for Norwich


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭FatRat


    Holt also got a yellow, he'll probably score 2 and be sent off again :pac:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    Long equalises for WBA

    Wigan goal now too Di Santo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine

    My Vermaelen transfer has been my worst ever I think.

    In cases such as this I always put the player in as one of the first eleven. If he starts, sweet, if not then your sub will come in automatically. Basically there is no downside to having him in the starting 11, and no reason whatsoever to have him as 3rd sub.

    Ah he might net one yet, wait til the end of the match to say that. :) Afterall, he is a goal machine.

    He'd want to get a few.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭FatRat


    Dorran for WBA, Boyce and Walters for Wigan and Stoke

    I would usally start the injuried players but made several changes that he didn't fit into. I have no excuse for him being third choice though.

    :D

    First 11 all started though so not end of world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭FatRat


    Pienaar :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    ....... Well **** me gently with a chainsaw


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Cech not playing (another epic fail with Chelsea keepers). Evans playing. Verm already conceded 2.

    Game over for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭FatRat


    Rooney, Jones assist


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    First shot for QPR! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,194 ✭✭✭FatRat


    Jackson for Norwich. QPR didn't score did they? :eek: Or do you literally mean, it was their first shot? :pac:

    No sign of the city and chelsea onslaught yet, could really do with torres having a 1 point cameo at the end


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell
