Rooney yellow. Of course he's still allowed berate officials afterwards...

Pen watford

Peno Watford
UTD defence hopeless

KevIRL

Zuniga fouled

LightningBlue

Penalty Watford. Zuniga fouled

dsmythy

Poor Capoue missing out on all the points.

KevIRL

Deeney to take. Scores

machiavellianme

Can't believe I've got a double utd defence. They're truly awful. Valencia out. Possibly shaw too.

LightningBlue

Zuniga could end up with 3 BP's yet.

stephenl15

Might sell Zlatan instead of Costa

Ziegler1988

Zuniga 10 pointer off the bench :pac:

Rooney still whinging. Can you get a yellow after the whistle?

You can, but there's no chance they'd give it to Rooney.

Double united defence here.

Rage WC incoming!

There hasn't been any concrete alternative for defensive points.
There's a few teams with 2 clean sheets out of 5. (Everton, Spurs, Leicester, Man Utd, West Brom)

Ignoring Utd, Everton look the best of those at the minute but their fixtures get tricky in a couple of games. Leicester are solid at home. Spurs rotate a good bit with the CL, West Broms fixtures are horrible from now on.

Of the rest:

City should improve now that Pep has got his first choice keeper. They've been relatively unlucky not to keep more clean sheets so far.
Watford have some very cushy fixtures incoming.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal look like disaster areas at the back so far.

Same. Gonna axe both of them. Utd seem as shambolic as Chelsea were last season

Wish I had another wildcard to use after last weeks one.

Happy for the Zlat captainers, solid display

That's true I suppose. And they do have Stoke next who have the lowest shots on target in the league.

Need Redmond to do something today!!

At least Valencia was off for the 2 extra goals.

And at least Capoue won't get 3 bonus.

At least Ibra got an assist. My main rivals captained him, so that's perfect really.

km79

I desperately need that Ibra assist to stick
And goals from benteke and Defoe

Capoue should still get the three

patmac

68 (-4) all out if Capoue gets the bonus points glad I played him over Milner now lesson learnt from last week.

Damn.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

45 + Siggy, Forster, Dann and VVD to go.

Still raging at the points swing between that lukaku "goal" and bolaise being credited with it. Sickened looking at scores of 60+ all around me with lukaku captainers. Absolutely sickening.

manual_man

Capoue is absolutely killing me. Mahrez MkII. 46pts all in. Take it on the chin and move on

Manutd_4life

On 36 with Redmond and Lameka left.

I smell a WC

jamesbere

Have forster so a nice cs will do nicely here
