bit of a shocker for me this weekend, the no Ronaldo gamble hasn't exactly paid off

I'm sure you'll manage to get back above (& stay above) my team in April, still mulling over how to use my remaining transfer ...

Having Lampard instead of Ronaldo has set me back a bit this weekend. You're up to 6th overall yourself now Andy. Hope you have better luck staying up there than I've had so far.

Thanks Simon...it's all still very close at the top !!

Injuries are starting to pile up so am stressing about the use of my last TWO transfers - must get them right to have any chance

Good luck mate

Cough...

With Lampard not playing last night my chance of winning any money seems pretty much gone now.

Best of luck for the remaining games Andy.

In general doing pretty crap at OFL based games this year including this one

Happy now

Very ...

Well played thearcticmonkey on taking the FISO title. Shame none of us managed to finish in the prizes though. Always next year (hopefully).

7 Iain Bruce Razorback Premiership XI 79 65 519

Belated congratulations, hopefully we'll be able to have a rematch next season ...

Thanks Simon...sorry for the belated response

20th place for me in the end...a lack of subs and non-players cost me dear and deprived me of a chance of any prize money

I'm looking forward to playing this again this year.....a game that offers £20,000 to the winner thats free-to-enter is not to be missed

"thearcticmonkey" won't be playing this year....but BANDIT will be
(my TFF work mates got wise to thearcticmonkey name so thats now been retired)

Good luck everyone for the upcoming season....

Thanks
Andy
