As I said last week, textbook Suarez. Will hit the post multiple times and break your heart. He must have hit the post a dozen times this season. It's rediculous at this stage! He's up there with Defoe and Bent on my "List of Enemies"

Lee Dixon even commented about how he loves that post.

'Fluked' as in got awarded them due to his late assist, which is the most likely. Doesn't matter how well he played, if Stoke had won he'd have no chance, the new BP system massively favours the winning team.

Its annoying enough when someone you don't want to perform well is looking set for a 2 pointer, then gets an injury time assist. Its even more annoying when this assist alone then propels him into the BP's too. Not saying its undeserved, just frustrating.

I think 'fluked' is entirely the wrong word then to be honest.

Fluke means:

1. A stroke of good luck.
2. A chance occurrence; an accident.

Bale providing an assist was by no means a stroke of good luck, accident or chance occurence. It was a fantastic cross and, as a player, he deserved alot more from the game. Spurs did as well. As I said above, I'm annoyed he didn't at least have a goal or another assist given his display.

I'll be honest, I'm getting very nervy about the ff website. No sign of activity, dots below Bolton/Villa players, no autosubs made.

Maybe if I stop refreshing the page every minute...

Nah...... you need to redouble your efforts, refresh every 20 seconds... :P

Don't forget to keep those who didn't get Siggy to sub in a thought in your prayers or whatever you do yourself lol

Siggy transferring into 90% of the teams with his 16 point haul is causing havoc amongst the league tables for the week and has caused a system overload

GET OFF MY BENCH, SIGURDSSON.

If he doesn't start warming up, he's never playing for my team again (or at least until I lose a huge lead and end up a point behind my rivals)

I'm surprised. Happy, but surprised! By the sounds of it Bale deserved something.

And Walcott gets another 2, glad I held onto him now!

Jimmy Iovine · 22-03-2012 02:51PM

Strange RVP didn't get one for his assist. The same for Bale.

That sums it up right there. Walcott was absolutely shocking last night. Look at the ratings from the papers and he barely registers.

It all evens out over the course of the season, but it does show what a cr@p system it is.

carlcon · 22-03-2012 03:06PM

Now I know why we've been waiting so long... they were busy trying to find my team and figuring out who to avoid giving BPs to.

I stopped getting annoyed about them a while ago.

C'est la vie.

I may have missed out this week but I'm sure I'll gain from some shocking BP decision next week or at some stage

Dempsey · 22-03-2012 03:38PM

I'm sure the reasons will be explained in the scout review!

Bale & RVP had weak claims to BP's anyways considering the stats involved in determining what gets them. Im not too bothered

POKERKING · 22-03-2012 03:54PM

K toure for city game? Must be a mistake had to be yaya! Kolo would of been one of the last people to get bps based on both the stupid system and by normal rationale!

YaYa is incredibly lucky as it is not to have an own goal to his name this morning. Shocking lack of consistency! Cahill would have hit the corner flag with that "shot".

shadowcomplex · 22-03-2012 05:06PM

anyone have any idea whats keeping them from completing the week?

roryc · 22-03-2012 05:19PM

Somebody lost the remote.

carlcon · 22-03-2012 06:26PM

Subs are in. Hopefully the scores will be updated soon enough.

iroced · 22-03-2012 08:50PM

I guess the big delay in the updates today was due to some changes on the site... unless it's another big bug on it

Anyway I remember some people complained about the fact we could see how many and which transfers your opponent made (only the current GW transfers couldn't be seen although we could know how many were being made). That's gone... for now !
