Week 38
A quick preview before a possibly decisive weekend in both the PL and TFFO title races!
Saturday 12:45
Birmingham v Burnley
Other than Burnley playing for the Fair Play league this is as dead an end-of-season rubber as you can get, but could provide a crucial bonus in TFFO for managers with Brum defenders (unless those defenders are Carr or Dann). Half-time as I write, clean sheet still in tact and already an assist for Roger Johnson.
Saturday 15:00
Man City v Aston Villa
Pompey v Wolves
Stoke v Everton
Tottenham v Bolton
The "Champions League Playoff Semi-Final" (as dubbed by Mancini) the big fixture here PL-wise, but the standout fixture points-wise for TFFO is Spurs, expect people to star Defoe if they still have him. Otherwise Tevez could be the pick, or Cahill/Arteta after their good recent form. Some managers could also be hoping for appearances and goals from Boateng or Dindane from Pompey in the final PL game at Fratton Park.
Sunday 13:30
Liverpool v Chelsea
Fulham v West Ham (15:00)
Sunderland v Man United (16:00)
The decisive flange in the PL title race, how key will it be in TFFO? Expect managers will choose between Drogba/Lampard and a risky Rooney - it appears he could make a surprise return but we won't see the teamsheets for this game.
Monday 13:30
Wigan v Hull
Another chance for any N'Zogbia owners to make a leap forward, doubt there'll be many other players of interest here, maybe the odd Rodallega.
Monday 17:00
Blackburn v Arsenal
The injuries to Fab and Verm probably killed most managers' Arsenal cover, anyone with transfers left who brought in Nasri/Walcott/Van Persie will be hoping for reward here. Else a few people, ISOers especially, could be looking for Samba to return from injury to avoid an unmanned flange.
Good luck all (especially MV)!

Re: Week 39
Was just to post my review when I noticed yours red
At least I would have got the week number right
Good luck MV - hopefully you will still have at least a swingers chance after the bank holidays games.

Must be getting ahead of myself, think I'm subconsciously hoping for the season to end! Sooner the better if I have another week like last week (and/or Sleeping Giants continues to have a blinder)!

Re: Week 38
29 (Generals), 28 (ISO) and 12 for me today. Solid score for Generals without being amazing, but I'll take that.

Re: Week 38
Thanks for the good write up Reds
Mindvampire6 scored a steady but unspectacular 32 pts today (not quite the gains I was hoping for but not bad)
Dindane scoring (again) and a bet against a Birmingham clean sheet (LOL) won me a few quid, so there's a small up side to everything
Also, thanks for the good luck Reds and Odds

Re: Week 38
I make it 21 for Cold Pigeon, if correct that'd mean the gap's down to 9 points, game well-and-truly on! Dindane's become a bit of a pain for you the last two weekends, at least you've got a bit of cash out of him in return! Fingers crossed he gets rested next weekend ahead of the cup final!MindVampire wrote:Mindvampire6 scored a steady but unspectacular 32 pts today (not quite the gains I was hoping for but not bad)

Re: Week 38
20 for me yesterday and I didn't move a single place (270th). ISA team did a bit worse.
Today I gambled by dropping Rooney, playing the non-booked Bent and captaining Drogba. Its nice when a plan like that comes off....

Re: Week 38
33 for Generals today, another steady day and hopefully another step towards securing third.
27 for ISO, edging towards the title in that one after a rocky week or two lately.
And 45 for my third team, could be close to finally making the top 100 tomorrow (but will no doubt be 1 or 2 points short)

Re: Week 38
Mindvampire6 scored 27 pts today... which is probably between 4 and 10 pts less than Cold Pigeon depending on his selections...
Hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day

Re: Week 38
Up to 59th after scoring 30pts yesterday. No coverage today though as N'Zogbia appears to have gone AWOL as have no news as to why he is not in the Wigan team or on the bench & have only got injured Gooners for the late game. Cue 59th to become about 70th after today...

Re: Week 38
I'm up to 257th, my best since week 5. Similar story - no N'Zog = empty flange. Have Almunia for later (still injured?), won't be an empty flange as I have Samba's inevitable CS points to doublelooneytoon77 wrote:Up to 59th after scoring 30pts yesterday.

EDIT - Sorry N'Zog is in my other team (ISO), my main one has Scharner who is at least on the bench, wow. Both have Samba starred later (1 Almunia, 1 Vermaelen )

Re: Week 38
Pleased for you MV to finally have a bit of good news in your battle, after a bit of a tough time recently. It's looking very interesting going into the last three flanges!
Scores today for me were 0, 12 (ISO) and 21 (Generals)
