In short.... NO.

Like yourself I wasn't expecting Chelsea to concede today so didn't do too well in defence.

Hazard, Defoe and Kane in a couple of teams but won't be anywhere near the top, that's for sure.

So if Tadic had scored, would you have made top 50 Bloggie? :mrgreen:

Got 133 so Hazard instead of Scneidy would"ve got second. :) The winner had Ings and Hazard both star manned. The tactic of relying on schneiderlin and tadic to get at least 5 from both games failed especially when they don't even start.

9th this week. 4 points from combined Di Maria & RVP over 2 games, one at home to Burnley, pretty much killed any chance. Guy who finished 3rd must be kicking himself - pretty much nailed it but his split Saints/Chelsea defence opted for Courtois instead of Forster. A decision which cost him £5k

I cannot fathom how anyone thinks they were unlucky when anyone of most of the teams in the top 50 could of won if only they changed one player.

Kane, Ings, Forster, a 10 point plus midfielder etc etc etc.

In answer to ur reply Nabby that you have since deleted.

Your talking absolute bollocks.

The guy in 1st cud easily of picked COUTINHO instead of Sterling
The Guy in second could of easily picked Milner, or Coutinho or dozens of others instead of Silva.
One idiot in 4th picked eff Betrand FFS who was banned. Imagine if he stuck in Yoshida.
The other guy in 4th had Carzola - nil points, imagine he had Walcott or a host of 8 point midfielders.
Plenty of teams cud of picked Green or Speroni FFS
The list is endless

ZARCH behind you feels a Bellend as he picked Wellbeck, when a Kane or Ings would of won it too.

Go through all the teams there's loads that were 1 player off on a balanced side too.

Back up to 2nd in the seasonal after finishing 33rd this week but the leader Mr Knowles is Mr Consistent that's for sure.

If anyone is due a bad week or 2 its him :twisted:

I deleted because I didn't want to have an argument with you. But as you persist.

Agreed the guy who came first could have picked Coutinho or perhaps Gerrard or perhaps Lallana or perhaps Markovic. He could have actually picked any Midfielder.
The guy who came third however, having settled on his split block of Southampton/Chelsea only had a choice of Courtois or Forster. All I'm saying is he had a head or tails situation and got unlucky.

Go thru the first 20 teams. Any of them cud of won if one player different with the same logic. One guy had 3 Soton defenders, Forster, Clyne, Fonte. He stuck in Rose, why not Yoshida. :|

The list is endless.
40 at lleast hard luck stories out of the top 50. Not one or two.

That's a fact.

He got unlucky :shock: :shock: :shock: Spin of a coin :shock: :shock:

The guy in 4th could picked Fonte or Yoshida instead of BERTRAND who was serving a 3 game ban that was well publicised, to go with Forster and Clyne who he had picked. :?

That wasn't spin of a coin that was plain eff Stupid and he deserves what he got

Fack - all !
