I've popped an email off.

Long shot, need those 5 points, the Robertson clean, then another Belgium clean.

And no other major points hauls...... :?

Yes, that is curious/suspicious. There were definitely only about 8500 after Fridays games as I remember thinking how low the turn out was so would be interested to know how 600-ish teams entered after the deadline.

Very interesting point and yes I had 3 teams with that position as all had 11 plaoyers to play. It never tells you how many teams are entered until the first update and this was obviously after the first update after games had been completed and marked.

My other two teams had scored 4 points from Skrtel and had 10 players to play each. I do recall those two teams even with 4 points each were still only about position 8,200 and I was thinking I'm suprised more managers have not entered more belg based teams.

I also was thinking how many eff idiots stuck in the England eleven including Kane. If England were to win 36-0 u gotta realise you would be sharing the prize with around 20 or do other doughnuts.

I was actually hoping people would fall into a Scottish midfielder trap. I remember around 4 Scottish midfielders listed and was hoping people would pick all of them after seeing they're playing Gibraltar, not knowing that out of them only Anya is likely to play.

4-1 now and Fletcher and Naismith both scoring should spice up the league.

My biggest fear right now is Strachan subbing them for Rhodes at half-time. I need more than two goals between them.

Well I have a Fletcher, Dzeko, Ibra front line with 5 defenders that haven't conceded (yet) but unfortunately not too many points from my midfield.

I hope Dzeko gets a hatrick against Andorra tonight. De Bruyne is on fire for Wolfsburg so hopefully he'll play the same way for Belgium as he has 2 games, and Hazard is Hazard. In Scotland's midweek game I noticed Anya is very impressive and likes a shot at goal, I think he'll score against Gibraltar tomorrow. As for Naismith and Fletcher, I know Scotland aren't known for their goals but if I didn't put in the 2 strikers who are playing Gibraltar I'll never forgive myself.

that's my first team with your front 6 for exactly the same reasons.( its not often you see a black player playing for Scotland and it sticks in my mind)

two other Belgium based ( 9 players although slightly different with Naismith and fletcher in one team each partnering Origi up front.

another 8 based Belgs with the two scots and origi up front.

and my last team I tried to change. I spent too much money having 6 belgs with siggy in midfield, Chiriches at the back and up front Naismith, Dzeko and Muller but it went over budget by 1.5 mio.

I was gonna chuck out Muller to accommodate Zlatan up front and get a cheaper defender but it was 7.44 pm now so just hastily stuck in Robertson for chiriches and left Muller in under budget.

I think I could of stuck Ibram in instead of Muller and kept Chiriches but as it was 1 min till close I didn't check to see if it fitted.


in saying all that shit Strachan will probably play Rhodes now instead of Fletcher + Naismith to start.

Must have a chance with Belgium to go again...might need DeBruyne to chip in?

Re: Week 31

My best chance is this:

Courtois
P Jones
Chiriches
Alderweireld
Juanfran
Hazard
Silva
De Bruyne
Fletcher
Ibra
Dzeko

Reckon that a Belgium CS in the next game would probably actually hurt me only having 2 defenders

Now my biggest fear is actually Sleuth. If Belgium keep another clean sheet I have no chance of winning as we have the same front 6. I'll be hoping for an Israel goal (or hopefully two) on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, Belgium having another clean sheet will wipe out any chance you have.

not a chance.

2 teams in the top 50 before tonights points added have Fletcher.

team in 24th Bringloe Utd LOOKS UNBEATABLE. by my reckoning will have 133 with 7 Belgs to play

Belgium defence and Hazard, Fellaini & Benteke ( who I believed was injured according to eff Sherwood) :evil:

our teams wont even be in the top 50 .

Well nobody above me has De Bruyne so a 2-1 win with a brace from him would have me interested....

I wouldn't lose any sleep dreaming mate as I think your well covered.

it's a two horse race between Bringloe Utd who I already said ( and is still fav) and Matthew Hully, who probably deserves the weekly for having 3 teams currently in the top 13 with 1 game to play.

Bringloe has the Belg back 4, Hazard, Fellaini and Benteke with 129
Hullys Banana Grove 4 ( 2 pts behind you, but with 8 to play) has the same 7 as Bringloe but also has De Bryne.

realistically he needs a clean sheet and De Bryne goal to overhaul the 8 pts.

the only other scenario to upset this applecart is if Origi plays and scores at least 2 goals but as Benteke is fit and they have other strikers not in the weekly more likely to play I don't think that's a starter.

Where are the ratings anyway for yesterdays games. Nothing on the bloody website :evil:

think Robertson and Naismith both merited a 7 fwiw but I know neither did as I used those players .

Yeah, unfortunately I think your right. Would take a massive fluke of scoreline/ratings for me to stand a chance. Just need Belgium conceding, De Bruyne to score a couple and get starman and no other Belgians to get a rating. Don't need much do I!

.....lots of very accomplished players playing this game and to win it you really have to hit the perfect storm.....and hope one of the others hasn't!!

Best team in 28th on 113pts.....only player who really failed was Gotze with 2pts.....you stick a Bale or Fellaini in for him and you've got a shout but you need that perfect hit to win this weekly game.....tough school!!

Best of luck Jag....great effort!
