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)

A surprising stat:
Navas has 3 shots on target this season, and 2 goals to his name.
Yaya Toure has the most shots on target this season after the 3 strikers of City for ManCity.
I think ill be getting one of them soon in place of Ozil after Arsenal is done with 2 easy fixtures.
You guy are doing well all of you got more overall PTS than ME
can anyone please give me the code for the GW13 h2h league
Hey bro! I haven’t seen you since FFC! I asked for the code a lot on the last page, Potty gave me a wrong one, they say they’ll find Bench for me lol!

The B
Thank you so much for doing that! I really appreciate it!
Is this an open H2H guys?
So,tonight is the night,will Benteke finally produce some much needed points for us tonight? Or will he become the latest non entity to be get the sack..what do we think folks..will the big Belgian get back to his form from GW1-4??
I really hope he does.
Here’s hoping B..
Im gonna watch the game and i really want to see both Benteke and Sessegnon rip apart the goalies and defences. :goombah:
B – Yeah i’ll be watching it myself,hopefully he gets his act together
He was really poor for Belgium against a rather weak Colombia.
Raz – Yeah i heard he was poor too,hoping he picks up this week as i’d prefer to make no transfers,hopefully he comes good.
I’m waiting on Sessegnon too! Need some points from that talent!
NiN, I captained him. :hippo:
Mito – You love that emoticon don’t you? Haha. I admire your bravery in captaining him again, i think tonight it’s ‘do or die’ for Benteke..
:big-lol: :bouncy-balls:
EAT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha,it’s emoticon madness on this site haha!
Actually just found out about these. Noticed the big hippo thingy wasn’t amongst the others here, so I pushed a link. Heaven revealed itself, sort of…
Loads of dirty emoticons. >.<
You are right NiN, do or die for Benteke. I got the money in the kitty to replace him with anyone.We will march him towards the firing squad and :biggun:
Mito – Nice,i’ll have 9.2m total to bring someone else in if he whiffs again,would love to bring in Rooney but might have to settle on Giroud,i don’t fancy taking another hit this week
Benteke is an interesting one for me – before the start of the season he was fixture-proof and one of my strikers for the whole season. Considering so many other strikers have hit top form now though, it seems an unnecessary risk for me. Sure it would be a good differential, but even when he scores well will he outdo the Rooneys, Agueros, Girouds, Suarezes, Remys, Lukakus, etc. that your rivals have? Doubt it..
CC – Yeah i had him at the start too,when he finds his shooting boots he’ll be a great asset to any squad,i’d rather not change my forwards but it’s getting to the point now where it may have to be done,if he scores tonight then he stays on board,if he doesn’t then he’s out the door i think..
Sounds good. Good luck tonight.
Cheers mate!
Should everyone double up on Arsenal now because of there next 3 fixtures
Cardiff v Arsenal
Arsenal v Hull SHITY
Arsenal v Everton
I think most people already have Ramsey/Ozil or Ozil/Giroud duo.
The question is, should we triple up? Obv no.
After that they have Man City (A) and Chelsea (H), although there’s easy fixtures again after that, and arsenal have a ten day break before the Chelsea match since they’re out of the Capital One Cup…
Jeet – 3 great fixtures for Arsenal,they have a history of giving Everton a hiding too,if Benteke whiffs for me tonight i might bring in Giroud for the first time this season,he’s one of my few options anyway.
Afternoon all…
:coffee:
HL – Howdy mate,i see we have the exact same score this week..
NiN – yep, we’re level on overall pts, hah..nice one
…
…

Veer – nice scoring, mate 😉

HL – Just the 9 this week hahaha,which is actually an improvement hah!
Hey bro. Saw that you and NIN are on 710 points. I’m 7 points behind, so I’m setting you guys as my target for next week! And I’m on the rise: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/205650/history/
Why don’t you go to your profile and directly link your team? That way you don’t have to post it ever again. 😉
Just add the history page or you current GW page, whatever. History page might be smarter.
