Who had a formation most like a Christmas tree in place for Christmas? There's pointless points on offer for the most festive formations of gameweek 18. I had an unfestive 3-4-3 so everyone should pick up points for beating me. The winners will be those playing the least number of strikers, followed by the least number of midfielders, followed by the least number of defenders. Additional tie breaker - the number of stars on your Christmas tree formation - players with a star above their name - of which I have three - O'Brien, Ronaldo and Fabregas.

Post your gameweek 18 formations and star men below, unless you have something less pointless to do on Christmas day.

I see your ...and raise you one Wheater

Was a festive 5,4,1 before Belletti slunk off for a boxy 4,4,2 with Jerome upsetting the angel up top

5-3-2 with 2 stars (Ronaldo and Almunia).

4-4-2

Looks a pretty ropey specimen

A 3-4-3 with Laursen, Green, Ronaldo, Gerrard, Fabregas and Tevez all adding a little sparkle

Bought a cheap tree for $4.42 but splurged on the ornaments (Almunia, Wheater, O'Brien, Fabregas and Ronaldo).

5 - 3 - 2 For me, with star over Wheater and Ronaldo

3-4-3 with 3 stars - Fabs, Ronaldo, O'Brien

3-5-2

hey, i like my widdecombe xmas tree.

Bah Humbug. 4-3-3 with a good boy star for Ronaldo. My O'Brien star dropped off the tree.

I think your stars may be too sparkly Post again with GW18 score, not total.

3-4-3

Ronaldo & Fabregas were my stars

I had a very festive 4-3-3, incorporating 3 midfield shepherds, 3 wise strikers (including a certain SANTA Cruz ), a wee baby Gallas in between his parents Virgin Mary Laursen and Joseph "the carpenter" McCartney, with the Green star (dream team player) hanging overhead, and the angel Gabriel (Patrice) Evra in the corner!!

I thought it would be pointless points all round for those who need their FISO fix on Christmas Day, but aparently not - SunderlandFan and andybarrell miss out. flyingkillercob and Richt win. With dalythgoe finding less pointless things to do today flyingkillercob closes the gap to 8 pointless points.

Hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas!
