Sold him for Sturridge, who I then captained over Bale. :lol:

I too benched him, but dare I say it did not matter in the end.

No but I benched Mertesacker and Anichebe. Not a nice end to a pretty pathetic season (personally)

I did buy Sturridge, who did nothing. This did upset me but I guess going back I'd always bench him on form and who they were playing. Was quite an unexpected scoreline!

Sold but only becasue I had alread won the cash league. Had 2nd spot been within 50 points I would have gone Tevez > Sturridge to match his front 3 :roll:

Had him in the starting eleven, but had this great idea that Adebyor will turn it on for Spurs in a must win game.

Sold him for Sturridge but thankfully decided to go with Bale as captain at the last minute. (phew!)

Lukaku didn't even start the game - selling/benching him
was the right choice IMO. Just damn annoying if you did and it cost you.

Same but with Sturridge. It actually made me chuckle as it summed up my season so perfectly. I was so far out of the running for anything that it mattered not.

I sold him for Sturridge, whilst my league rival, who was ahead by 5 points held on to him.

When the goals were flying in I thought it was over, that was until I checked his team and he had benched him, which effectively gave me the Superleague title :mrgreen:

I didn't as I didn't have him but my opponent in one of my ML's did.

I was 17 pts down in 2nd place going into this last GW, too many I felt for 1GW to catch her, having hunted her down for over 100 pts since the start of April. At the end of the games we were all level and she had left Lukaku on the bench. Post bonii I won the league by 5 pts. Not only that it was the GB goal in the 90th minute that won it as I captained him and she VC'ed him and captained Sturridge.

It is the only time I topped this league all season. What a great time to take over the lead. So late that nothing could be done to change it.
