Evening chaps!
Evra benched has killed me! Anyone know why?
jamesimmo
Not sure… either way, you’d best hope he misses the City clash too, so then you’ll have Cahill come on!
B-Bash
My thought too mate! Can guarantee he’ll make an appearance for a point!! :cuss:

Could be worse – 92 isn’t a bad score at all!!
TJ
There will be people who have scored some ridiculous amount better than me as always, but I have 93 before bonuses with Adrian, Coleman, Chester, Zabaleta, Toure, Nolan, Gerrard, Suarez (c), Sturridge and Lukaku all to play again. I’d be happy with 150 at this rate. Can guarantee you someone will get above 200.
chins and bellies
Good work TJ, 93 is a nice score.

I mean, it’s no 94, but it’s not bad.
Now let’s all feel good about ourselves for a while, until some bright spark pops up with a 140 with their entire team set to play again!

I got 126 in UFPL Chins!!! If only I hadnt forgotten to confirm my changes last sat night(ended with Hazard as cappo and not Suarez as planned!!!!)

I will settle for 150 in regular FF though after midweek games!!
jamesimmo
108 after bonuses (+9 to play again) so far for me
TJ
I would have had 109 if I hadn’t had Ruddy, Olsson, Azpilicueta, and Snodgrass all on the bench haha
B-Bash
Tj, I sold Snoddy for Johnson for a hit!
chins and bellies
TJ, if ‘ifs and buts were pots and pans, the world would be a clutter’.
Just saying. 😉
jamesimmo
I like that saying.
chins and bellies
Peaky, awesome stuff mate.
Just the 122 for me, with all 11 to play again.
Bit of a wierd gameweek in UFPL. No real option to change the team with subs.
I’ll be well pleased with 150 in regular!
Fingers crossed for another load of crazy games in the week, but with Sterling starting and Coleman doing something. I want every player on double figures!
peakydave(winner of one of Pottys many illustrious competitions)
I know crazy scoring!!!
NZ Alex (Owls Rule/Pottys prize winner!!!)
C and B, did you make any changes to OUR team? 😉
chins and bellies
Hi Alex,
Sorry for not running it by you first mate, but when i tried reading your thoughts you must have been thinking about something else. (Why was that fat bird chasing a cake on legs whilst wearing a thong?)
I swapped out Lallana and Cahill for Silva and Chester.
A pretty good week so far. (Not as good as you though damn it!).
Thinking i’ll leave the team as it is for a week now, so you have time to bring your team back in line
NZ Alex (Owls Rule/Pottys prize winner!!!)
Well C and B, the bird had stollen my thong, I had to get them back some how didn’t I?! Good calls and funnily enough I look at something similar but resisted! Will be interesting to see our final totals. Did you go Suarez as cap?
chins and bellies
Alex, oh yes to goofy as captain. I’ve been burned to many times when i’ve ignored him.

Lets compare notes on Wednesday when the totals are in!
jamesimmo
Great stuff TJ. Similar here. We’re in a good position!
peakydave(winner of one of Pottys many illustrious competitions)
I just realised I got mannone v Liverpool in the week??? How many goals conceeded and how many saves will he get??? Could be double figures for both?!?!?!? 😉
jamesimmo
I think so!
kinda annoyed he didn’t keep a CS vs Norwich, as only a saved penalty or a tonne of saves can save him now, surely?!
He should still outscore Boruc though..?
theswirly
My other keeper is Ruddy and so I’ll need Mannone to score three points or more to have made it the right choice. Not impossible – may even save a Gerrard penalty! 😛
jamesimmo
Haha yeah! All his saves should see him past 6
NZ Alex (Owls Rule/Pottys prize winner!!!)
Morning all, what a high scoring week this is going to be! 96 before BP’s and 10 to play again. Can anyone explain why Hazard hasn’t been given assist for the penalty? Wasn’t that the drama last week with Suarez getting it?
jamesimmo
Hazard scored the penalty. So no assist. So greedy… 😉
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
NZ, if i remember right, you cannot get the assist + the goal together, so haz got the goal, last week it was 2 players, goofy + stevie.
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
NZ, the panel may look at barkleys goal, assist went to mirallas from the corner, but some are saying lukaku flicked it on to barkley so it should be him with the assist.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule/Pottys prize winner!!!)
EC and James, thank you boys, that makes sense now but James, yes I am a greedy northern; come on a Luk assist, i’ll take that instead!!!! Hows everyone shaping this week? Who has the highest score so far, anyone plus 125?
jamesimmo
I’m a reddy Northerner too but I have Mirallas and Lukaku so either way is fine by me! Haha nah, 108 for me, 125 is possible though.
Jeet Top 4
GW 31 with bonus points according to the BPS. Expected overall average is 59 points. Average score in the top 10K is 92.4 points (89.7 with point hits).
theswirly
Nice! It’s about time my team did well (so far, admittedly) after four consecutive weeks of red arrows.
jamesimmo
59! Wow. The top 10k average of 90ish reflects the nature of some shite ghost teams though I guess… still, 108 should see me rise, beer:
The B
Nice score James
jamesimmo
Cheers mate
serendipity
James I agree some of those ghost teams will have low scores, there are a few in my mini league – lowest scored 16! A few in the 20’s too. Good score, should be a green arrow for you I would think
NIN
Thanks Jeet, helpful as always.

Lol, my 81 points is looking like not so great a score line!
Can’t say I’m disappointed, but it’s a shame Oscar chose the week I sold him to score a double, and that my main rival is currently beating my by 20 points for this weeks tally, purely by haveing skertle and yaya!!
Really hope Gerard pays me back in the next fixture :/
I’d love to hit the 100 mark!!
Really would be cool!!!
Ox kina let me down though…
Poor guy, felt really sorry for him with the incident and all.
The B
Why feel sorry for Ox when suddenly he thinks he is playing keeper in cricket and tries to catch the ball?
You should score 100+ though so relax

I saw the match on tv, and you could tell it was really getting to him.
I think he was trying a diving header and sort of flung his hand to the ball by accident.
It was going wide anyway though and he barely touched it!
What I mean is he’ll feel like it was his fault the team lost so badly on such a big day for wenger…
And yeah I hope I score 100!!!!
Need my differentials Gerard, ox and silva to do something to make up ground though…
