Manchester City 6-0 Tottenham
Manchester City might have their troubles when on the road, however when they play at the Etihad, they certainly turn it on. The Spurs defence has been very tight of late and so no one would have predicted the massacre that was to occur. After only 14 seconds City had their first as Jesus Navas started the rot and it was all downhill from then on for Spurs. Alvaro Negredo got involved in the action as he got City’s second and then Sergio Aguero got the goal he deserved to make it 3 after converting a pass from Navas. A neat interchange between Negredo and Yaya Toure allowed the powerful Ivorian to power his way through the Spurs defence and his pass across goal gave Aguero his second of the game and justified all fantasy managers that captained the prolific striker. Negredo then showed his class again as he made a fool of Michael Dawson. A clever ball through the middle of the park from Fernandinho was directed at Negredo who collected and spun past Dawson and cooly finished past Lloris. There was still time for another as the man who started everything then finished it off. A long pass from James Milner was misjudged by Jan Vertonghen which then allowed Navas through on goal and he neatly nestled the ball in the back of the net as Spurs suffered a humiliating defeat. To be fair, not many would have been able to handle Navas, Aguero and company but the Spurs defence was also very poor.
Bonus Points: Navas (3); Aguero (2); Negredo (1)
Cardiff 2-2 Manchester United
On the face of it this was a fantastic opportunity for United to carry on from their victory over the league leaders Arsenal last time out, but in the end this would seem more like a victory for Cardiff and 2 more points dropped for United. Wayne Rooney carried on with his impressive form after he opened the scoring for United with Javier Hernandez providing the assist. This may well have left Cardiff fans with a sour taste in their mouth though as Rooney was a touch lucky that he wasn’t already back in the dressing room for an early shower. After kicking Jordon Mutch off the ball, he was fortunate to escape with only a yellow card. It was Mutch who provided the assist for Fraizer Campbell to equalise for Cardiff but just short of half-time a Rooney cross was headed in superbly by Patrice Evra to give United a vital lead at half time. The drama was not to end there though as Cardiff carried on fighting valiantly and were rewarded deep into injury time. A free kick from Pete Whittingham was turned in by Kim Bo-Kyung to send the Cardiff fans crazy and bring despair to David Moyes’s side.
Bonus Points: Rooney (3); Evra (2); Whittingham (2) Campbell (2)

Looks like my FPL form has followed me to the cricket!!!
Kop, did you enter to Cricket League?
Smart arse!!!
Lol. Sorry kop. I hadn’t looked that far down the table!
: )
Nice one.That true about Trott ?? Knew he was running scared of the aussie quickies but thats a bit extreme !!!
Its true brookboy, he has had a stress related disorder for a while now apparently, england were aware about it and hes managed it but obviously the stresses of touring have got to him. i dont think it has anything to do with what warner said or MJ’s hostile bowling.
Really ? Well i wish him well and hope he gets better soon.The commentators did say his head seemed scrambled.Don’t think Johnsons missiles will have helped though !!
Novice?! I was born to play fantasy Cricket!
:hippo:
Need to get rid of Paulinho but for who 0.0 bank
Need someone to bring me some PTS
Link your team Jeet, makes it easier to help out mate……..
I will later mate for now here my midfield
Yaya Toure – whittingham – Januzaj – Ramsey – PAULINHO
I’m also on the same issue, getting rid of Paulinho but I have 2.4 itb and thinking on Wally, Gerrard or Oscar.
In your case, I’d say Barkley, Sessegnon or Cabaye maybe.
If I was u albertini I would get GERRARD he take corners – free kicks – penalty
A lot of PTS still to come from him
I will decide later in this week, would like to have more details on Wallys game time, maybe tomorrows game will help.
JEET, what can you sell Paulinho for, is it 6.8m?
Jeet, you need some Chelsea cover in m/f mate imo, might need to take a hit. link you tream later and someone will help you out pal
Sessegnon,cabaye,bacuna,morrison.I’d go for Sess.
Have to think about it I would go for sessegnon as well
Thank for the advice mate might take a hit
I’ve got all my questions answered, except the one about the code for the H2H league starting next week!
Who would you guy choose
Lallana or Wilshere
Typical isnt it? I think I’m having a good game week of 76 points and I find out I’m losing in 3 of my 4 H2H leagues. I’m sure I’m not the only one hoping Benteke bags a goal or two.
Or 3… I accidentally left him as my captain
