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)

For the Attention of……
VEER…
sorry that nobody has responded to you.

213412 – 312124
:potty:
Potty
Thanks bro! I really appreciate it!
Veer – Delete the spaces between the numbers and the hyphen,should work then mate.
Sorry to disturb you again, but it’s saying its not a valid league code. Could you please check? Thanks
Try it again, sometimes they take a few attempts to work. No idea why but I had the same issue last year.
I’ve tried all of that, still not working… Does anybody else know the code? The B? Mito?
Veer, Sorry don’t know it. We will have to find Bench for you. Although he might be hard to find,after England got demolished in Cricket he has not been seen. He will turn up soon, I hope.
I have been following cricket quite a lot this year, saw Sachin’s farewell match live, but not too caught up with the ashes… Is there a way I can email bench? I remember someone saying something about his email, do you have it?
Veer, email bench at banterburyleagues@gmail.com
remember to include your user name and team name and credit card details
Veer did you get into our fantasy cricket league? I hear an American is dominating that league, go figure.
Thanks bro, I’ll do that. Are you joking about the credit card details lol?
Mito,
No, I have never played Fantasy Cricket. I made my team for fantasy ipl 2013, but never went on it again. I definetly prefer fantasy football
Veer, yes pal don’t send your CC details to Bench………… send them to me if you want!
you want to enter the ashes cricket league mate?
Thanks for the offer Eddy, but no thanks. I already spend way too much time on fantasy football, and I have to get serious about my studies, my exams (mock IGCSEs) are at the end of the year and my report card wasn’t that good. Haha, had a good laugh about the credit card thing, although I don’t have a credit card yet!
Potty – Haha,you swine!
Does anybody know which injured defender Baker of Villa is playing in place of ??
brookyboy – As far as i know Luna has missed the last few games so probably him.
Ok cheers Nin.Sure i read somewhere he was playing instead of Okore and would be getting an extended run in the team but if thats the case ill stay clear.
I had forgotten about Okore to be honest,think he’s been out since early in the season,GW 3 or 4 or something like that..
Hi guys, great effort getting this site running. Quick bit of advice please – Oscar or Hazard? Leaning towards Hazard, but have owned both already this season and got no returns from either so not sure!
Calvin Clyne – As shaky as Chelsea have been so far,i think Oscar has been the most consistent performer from the Chelski mid’s,Hazard has the potential for huge weeks but i think a lot of his points this season have been very lucky,simple chances that have fallen his way or a standard pass that has ended up being drilled home from distance by his team mate(Like Oscar at the weekend for example), so Oscar for me.
Calvin, first of all welcome to the site. Make sure you look around and check everything on offer. As far as your question goes, I say pick one and stick with that pick. Every week I change my mind about which one I need. They seem to take turns delivering, so the best thing to do could be to simply pick one and leave it alone. I prefer Hazard also, but Oscar keeps finding a way every so often, of getting hauls that say ” Don’t forget about me”
Cheers lads, good points both of you.
Who will be a replacement of Baines?
Not in my team obviously, Im a cheapo.
Im asking for Everton.
I don’t even think you skinflints should try to pick an Everton defender for the next 3 GW’s.
Stoke (h)
Man Utd (a)
Arsenal (a)
Andy – Stoke at home is a good fixture but yeah,the others look pretty awful.
Yeah 2/3 ain’t bad but 1/3 isn’t very promising, best possible cheap route into a defense is possibly Kaboul of the Spuds (4.6). Before yesterday they had the meanest D in the league however he does seem injury prone.
Not sure B,Everton aren’t blessed with great depth of squad so it could be Stones or one of the other young kids,bad news for Evertonianas either way as the likes of Hibbert and Heitinga aren’t very good at all.
All you fantasy mangers
How many PTS did you get for game week 12 I got 70 PTS am now on 633 PTS
Jeet – A poor 58 from me so far with Benteke to play,scored 66 but on a -8. 710 total.

Veer – Nice work!! I’ve been on the slide for a while now,dropped 60k places in 5 weeks,team looks strong again again though,plenty of close battles ahead my friend!! Hopefully we all continue to do well..

Still looking for someone with the league code for the H2H league next week!
Makes sense to double up on City with Aguero and Yaya/Navas/Nasri
The B, don’t get me started on Nasri, but I will.
90 points were scored by City players, Nasri got 3!
All 11 starters scored 5 or more, except Nasri. Even Fernandinho got an assist. Heck even Milner in 14 minutes managed something.
Nasri hit the crossbar! :rant: over
To be fair, Nasri did play well.
Im guessing he’s just not the FPL player, but his price tag is tempting for those who want an easy route in City’s wins.
Yep. And consider silva on his return…
