Haha was only winding you up Don't mind Lemlin though, he'll thank every single post where someone has a go at me haha, like pathetic clockwork.

So who you got left playing this GW mm? Can't remember which team is yours, think we're close enough overall though (9,000th)

I like thanking the posts where you have an attempted go at me too, just to acknowledge your attempt

Any quarrel now usually ends rather quickly though now when I point towards our histories in the game.

Santi101

Bah, 35 pts overall. Decent enough but didnt captain Mata like everyone else here. Had him vice with RVP captain so fingers crossed he does it today. Also have Suarez and Gibbs.

I see Fletcher got me 8 pts, is that right? Seen someone mention that he might get an assist taken away? Havent been able to see any highlights there.

Southampton in their last 11 games have only conceded more than 1 goal once and now have 3 cs in these 11 games. Clyne has a better points per game than Rio ferdinand, distin, hangelaand, Santon to name a few. Add into that Villas poor run and the fact that Southampton had 2 games (even though he will probably only get 1 point against Chelsea) it made sense to play Clyne. Most people that played Clyne had a choice of the likes of Demel, Harte, Nelsen he was a better choice pre kick off than those players this week.

A lot of people will have played Clyne simply because Southampton have a DGW though. Not saying it was a bad choice, if I had any DGW player's I would have played them this week.

Also to elaborate on my original comment I meant some people got lucky with both Southampton and Norwich clean sheets, which was unlikely.

Newcastle have lost Ba but showed no signs of stopping scoring, think they've scored in their last 10 in all competitions.

SlickRic

also, without my wildcard, I'd have been a bit screwed.

knowing I had it coming, my defence and strikeforce was in a jock, even though I was high in the world.

roryc

Haha nice. I still have Gibbs too actually, Arsenal clean sheet please!

I never said it didn't make sense to pick him. I was pointing out that it could be argued that people got lucky with the clean sheet from him based on how the game went. Villa dominated it and were very unlucky not to score 2 or 3. So therefore I think the guy that said people got lucky had a point. Only on that game. Not on the Norwich vs Newcastle one.

up to 87 worldwide now.

Captain Mata, Clyne and Cole doing the business so far for my 45 points.

RVP, Suarez, Walcott and 4 DGWs to go.

prettyboy81

38pts with nearly half from Captain Lampard. Still have Suarez, RVP, Walcott to play & then Puncheon, Shaw (who is a doubt), Cahill hopefully plays midweek & Lampard.

Went green in every league so far so good stuff

16 shots from Villa, 10 on target, 9 corners, 6 free kicks around the box and 56% possession. Clear sign that Southampton weathered some kind of storm. One could say Southampton were lucky to hold on for the clean sheet. Not to mention it was Southampton's first clean sheet away from home all season. I thought Villa would have ended their run today by at least scoring.

Norwich at home are strong and against a weakened Newcastle team the stats added up. No surprise there.

39 points, not fantastic but it seems my decision to WC has saved me from a disastrous week, Luiz and captain Mata have kept me in the mix. Happy enough with Ba although he may not play next game.

RVP, Suarez and Gibbs still to play tomorrow, and the three Chelsea DGW's again. A lot of people got lucky this week with Southampton/Norwich clean sheets. Great to see Marveaux get the 90, hopefully it stays this way.

Manual_man got burned as expected!

I'm hearing the ref has apparently said that it was for Puncheon that Southampton got the penalty not for Rodriguez' dive..

Very late whistle if that was the case, watching motd last night I've already mentally taken off the three points for Fletchers second assist so that would make up.

Disd I read that Puncheon hit the crossbar yesterday? It wasn't shown if he did.

42 with RVP, Suarez today and hopefully Ba, Mata (C) and Puncheon during the week. Happy enough.

Wow how can you say Norwich and Southampton cleanies were lucky??? Villa have been atrocious and Norwich were widely predicted to keep a cleanie given newcastles injuries. Neither cleanie surprised me in the slightest tbh. Most pundits had Norwich and Southampton players in defense too.

I'd have to agree. The missus even doubled up on Russell Martin and Bunn following advice from her father. She has 57 points for the week.

keano_afc

Happy with 52 but having seen Defoe, Michu and Russel Martin all hit the post, it wasn't far off being a whole lot better.

Hope Ba continues to do little here. Mata's form has dipped too.

commentators curse Im sure all of us who captained Mata would like to say a big thank you. Ive got burned so many times slagging off my utd supporting mates best to wait till the final whistle.

Dont think the norwich and southampton clean sheets were that lucky. Both Aston Villa and Newcastle have been on shocking runs and are form wise the worst 2 teams in the league.

8-10

Up to top 12k, very happy.

Still have Sagna, Suarez, RVP, Walcott, Luiz, Ramirez and Mata (c) to go.

manual_man

Up to 8k for now, have Suarez and Rvp tomorrow, so happy enough with that, and Walcott also. Captain Mata and Ba and Luiz to go again hopefully so confident enough i'll get above the average

Anyone any idea why Noble didn't play today? Has he lost his place?
