Yikes!

That was a bit close.

Yikes!

That was a bit close.

The sushi JPG has been filed back away. For another fortnight at least....

CULL 10, WEEK 1, DAY 1 SCORES

7 games down, 3 to go but includes both Mancs and a Spur.

Apparently 21 isn't that good but, thankfully, only 2 teams can claim scores that are.

How we fell after last week-

CULL 10, WEEK 2, DAY 1 SCORES

[murf]

CULL 10, WEEK 2, DAY 2 SCORES

[murf]

CULL 10, WEEK 2, DAY 3 SCORES

That was close...

[murf]

Not close enough.

With so many others in the mix I thought Sterling and a CS was an ok return from Citeh, had Trippier too so just bought a Spurs attacker to make myself safe. Unfortunately I went for Llorente over Alli which proved fatal.

Looks like it is getting a bit serious with everyone playing hard. I still have 30+ transfers too...

Your list of players is similar to mine - not sure what the differential was but you are blessed with transfers (but out) whereas I feel that I am running on fumes! I rested on my laurels last week which was a big mistake.

[murf]

You got 5pts on me somehow today.

[morganb]

Guess it was Alli who I've had for a while - he killed me in a couple of other games but saved me here. Swings and roundabouts I suppose

[primitive man]

So who got the chop?

[zipnolan]

Lamb chop.

[primitive man]

Unlucky - would have been me but for an inspired transfer - which got 15 points. Its a hard knock life in this league. The transfers are leaking away each fortnight but sometimes they aren't needed - its a balancing act having to judge.

[murf]

Lamb chop.

Only good for mutton these days.....

A champion or bust strategy. I fell on my own sword with the same approach last year but I couldn’t have boasted 30+ transfers Arghhh!

Had used 6 previously then did Kane to Rashford for a weekend head start and long term move. Risked getting away with just Llorente on sunday after dithering about Sane then Alli. Had Llorente not got the own goal (or I'd gone for another 2 pointer instead) then I'd have lost to MorganB on a tie-break. So I needed a 3 point transfer and got -1

With having Coady too, I actually got 2 OGs this weekend!

11,746th with 32 transfers (31 and a half decent team after I boot Llorente out)

The margins are so tight in this game. Such is the monster you have created!

I gave Llorente a try in a few teams and was disappointed to read reports last night that he had missed a couple of sitters. I’ve not helped you have I?

[murf]

Such is the monster you have created!

The monster could even become more of a monster. I've just been pondering a tweak for next year involving reanimating zombies to come back and battle for a place on the field. Highlander v The Living Dead....

(or I could just continue throwing darts at a picture of Llorente (using the skills picked up in previous weeks throwing cards into a hat))

You need to implement the change this year so that you can come back and make the most of your bounty of transfers!

CULL 10, WEEK 2, FINAL SCORES

Words are not enough......

highlander2nd10X.png

Unbelievably life goes on and this competition too. Only 5 immunities available over the fun FA Cup weekend. Liverpool block and a rested frontline anybody?

[murf]

CULL 11, WEEK 1, DAY 1 SCORES

FA Cup time! Just 1 game gone and already a little spread (I haven't bothered adjusting my spreadsheet colours for any tie-breaks this early, think 6 of you would get immunity as it stands but sure that will go down to 5 over the weekend )

*** PLUG - The 6 Nations Egg Chasing Predictions Cup is now open for entries ***

[murf]

CULL 11, WEEK 1, DAY 2 SCORES

Just 2 FA Cup games to go and everyone, from top to bottom, is no more than a Fernando Llorente hat trick away from that centre line of impending doom

[Hogmeister]

Just came on here for the first time in a week or two and seen the sad news about the demise of our revered leader RIP Murf, there's always next year!

In fact I thought this week was a week 2 cull and I was safe, so haven't even looked at my team - however somehow or other it looks like I've made it into the top 5 and safety Lucky or what?

Feet up again next week

[murf]

CULL 11, WEEK 1, FINAL SCORES

So, 6 evenly matched teams have a long drawn out cull-off over 20 Premiership games (- snow victims). Feet up for hog and 4 other lucky cup pin stickers. I got 40 by the way....

CULL 11, WEEK 2, MIDWEEK SCORES

10 games down, 10 to go. A couple of gaps there at the very bottom. Doogal with some serious work to do and workie needing to stay on his toes unless he wants his ticket invalidated. Nobody else safe from a Sarriesque weekend themselves although Zip may be contemplating resting a couple of his stars.

[murf]

CULL 11, WEEK 2, DAY 3 SCORES

17 down, 3 to go....

50,60,70,80 and a couple more inbetween. How much is a transfer worth? How much can 5 transfers be worth??

[Spinynorman]

Oh dear.
