The wife scored 57!

I too have a wife who is becoming disturbingly good at this.

From asking if she could have Ronaldo in her team before the season started to wondering if Pellé was a son or grandson of Pelé to telling me today that she'll never again take my captain advice after Diego Costa's one pointer. She's been bitten by the bug...

44 brings me to 37k. If Aguero Captain was to do his thing tomorrow I could hit the top 20k.

Mint Sauce

Need Aguero to have a very quiet day tomorrow.

I was as bad. I never really watched/followed football at alllll and then two of my brothers and a couple of their good friends emigrated and they made a private league with friends/family from home. Seemed a nice way to stay in touch so I made a team as well. I think I just auto-filled my first ever team...but I have learned.

Currently leading the private league having won it last year and with nearly 2000 posts in this forum about fecking fantasy football approaching, well, I'm pretty addicted too.

Bounced up to 35k, with three to play.

Up to ~2.8k overall from ~4.5k.

Fair play, That's a pretty massive jump considering you were already at the business end of things. You must be similar to me in terms of total score, i'm at 3,041st place with 753 points. What is your total, out of interest?

Me, i'm just happy that I've finally overtaken the last person on my "wall of shame". For the past 6 or 7 gameweeks there has been a difference of 1 place between my GW1 rank and my overall rank, meaning that some fcuker who joined on GW2 had overtaken me, despite me scoring 67 pts in the first round.

I've finally overtaken him, and it feels gooooooood!

754 points altogether mate. It's crazy that one point can seperate so many places!

FutureGuy

Just inside the top 20k

skippy15

34 up few places to 3.5k
6 to come from bench with aguero baines and chadli to go so hopefully break the 3k barrier.

wonski

75 places up - 194 OR. 20th in Ireland.

37 points with Aguero and possibly Baines.

I hate these nothing weeks, that's two in a row now where everybody has basically stood still. Hopefully the midweek games can shake things up a bit, at least the situation with Costa and DiMaria suggests that it might.

I'm thankful that they've been nothing weeks, a GW rank of 3m and 1.4m so far this week and I've only dropped from 10k to 36k.

Chesty08

32(-4) with 2 to come from bench & Aguero (c) + Forster to play.

Dropped again from 2.2k to 3.3k

Need Aguero to fire today or it could be 3 weeks in a row in the red and a 7digit GW rank!

I need to halt this slide How?

Mr.Prodston

30 points with Clyne, Tadic and Aguero (c) to go. Dropped about 300 places to 9k which looks a hell of a lot better than yesterday at 4:30.

Still raging that Jedinak and Terry were very much part of my plans in a -8 that I didn't commit to.

However my backline now reads: Clyne - Yun - Colo - Duff - Moore plus I've got my excuse to ditch Costa.

Wildcard time baby

Chatter on FFS is that Baines hasn't travelled for today's game

Would suit me down to the ground. Opponent in the FSA Premier has him to play and Chester subbing in with 0 if he doesn't play.

Don't care. Just need him to play midweek...

I have him, but I'd gladly take Chambers' 6 off the bench as long as he plays at home to Hull in midweek.

internet_user

Hoping pelle does nothing today, which would make my -8 not look as bad a decision

OneColdHand

Ugh, Baines not playing means I'll only have 10 playing this week. Have some defenders to sort out.

pollocks

32 with 4 to play, captained bony but I will withhold judgement until after city play. also have Aguero so won't be too disappointed if he goes nuts

Swiper the fox

There's not many will have big defensive points on their benches so Baines out will likely suit those of us currently without him.
I'd like to see a couple of goals from Lukaku in a Spurs win, preferably without Chadli getting involved.

I'd love to see Milner getting the start, will find out in a few minutes

I would have thought we might well see a good few having chambers come in.

Away to West Brom it'd be surprising if many had the defensive options to leave Chambers on the bench

Looking at ffs a good few have him coming in. I have him coming in for duff.

is that not on later?

eh i dunno

Was away all day and just logged in to see a miserable 35 points with only 2 to play

Mr.Prodston

Even a half decent showing from Captain Aguero today could really turn this GW around. Tadic could do with repaying me today too.

An interesting game ahead
