Excellent - 20 000 mugs bought him after last weekends games.

 

[Lock&Light]

Who else missed that this game week started last night?

I did too.

 

[starfish]

Just assumed it was a double week. Really need to sell Dzeko & Agbonlahor.

 

[big eejit]

I'm up to 4th.

League is very tight this year. Anyone of top 20 could probably still win it I reckon. Have to try and make a difference when the transfer window opens again in Jan.

 

[marty21]

79th

I should really sack myself

 

[marty21]

The top 2,097,152 scorers in Gameweek 17 will enter the first round. If there are more than 2,097,152 qualifiers then there will be a random draw amongst the lowest scorers to see who qualifies.
Hackney Angels didn't qualify for the cup with a rank of 2,235,631.

season goes from bad to worse - now not even the chance of cup glory to save the job

 

[poului]

having a good week so far.

am well on course for overtaking you soon, marty 21

[marty21]

slight improvement thanks to Bale - up to 76th!

 

[Puddy_Tat]

woo. now 60th in the big league. mid table obscurity beckons

but i have been knocked out of the cup

 

[purves grundy]

There've been a fair few low-scring weeks recently, this week including. Moved up to 42nd with a measly 36 pts.

The second wild card is available now, iirc...

I think the second wild card is available after this gameweek. Which starts today - team selection by 11.30 this morning. (Not 10.30!)

 

[marty21]

best week of the season, I've surged into the top 70! up 7 places!

 

[Puddy_Tat]

hmm.

not a great week so far, but the tottenham v everton game to come still...

and hmm at african cup of nations break for some players.

 

[butchersapron]

Wildcard #2 is go.

 

[marty21]

played my wild card now - when you are in the bottom reaches of the league - every point is precious - not doing too well in H2H, and didn't qualify for the cup, which is OK as we can now concentrate on the league

 

[big eejit]

Due to my cunning strategy of picking injured players from shit top teams who will be subbed for top scorers from great bottom teams I may end up with a reasonable score this week. Especially after Spurs have mauled Everton in the final game. Tho obviously I'd prefer if they didn't!

Who are people buying with their wildcards then?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

mid-table obscurity beckons - not a bad week to have 3 tottenham players...

although need to deal with african cup of nations losses to the team now.

i'm going to hang on to my wildcard and see what the transfer window brings.

 

[starfish]

Damn you Wayne Rooney & your missed penalty.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

my season of continues having transferred my African Cup of Nations player out and replaced him with one whose sole contribution to the weekend was getting red carded.

If you mean the Yak I doubt you were alone!

 

[butchersapron]

Thought i'd take a gamble on switching my cpt to one of the non-big names given that the rest of them were very likely to cancel each other out (largely did) - choice of Sessegnon or Strurridge and against my instincts i went with the latter. Twat.

 

[marty21]

strong showing this week, thanks to 5 goals from my midfield - back in the top 70!

 

[starfish]

Another bad week. Think i picked the wrong time to buy another Newcastle defender. Somehow still managed to win my H2H game though

Wildcard time soon i reckon.

I got rid of Sturridge, but instead brought in the not so aptly named Best of Newcastle, plus a Sunderland midfielder. Sadly I spent ages weighing up the merits of Larsson and Sessegnon before plumping for the former. Thankfully Dempsey's arrested my recent slight slump. Back up to 3rd, plus hanging on to the lead elsewhere.

 

[big eejit]

I'm 2nd - just 3 points off the leader!

I did my wildcard last week. I had Dempsey before deciding he was a bit expensive and buying Landon Donovan instead - there are all sorts of things wrong with that thinking.

I think you have to use the wildcard by this week don't you? Or next week. Or you lose it.

 

[butchersapron]

Only the 2nd one - first one stays until you use it.

Oh! I just read your post properly! So you do have to use the second one by week 23. I think most people will have used the first one by now.
