Too close. Think I'm choking.....

Ozil and Sanchez to Coutinho and Martial for me. Setting up for the finish and holding one transfer just in case.

Rojo and martial for Sanchez and Alli - 2 left.

[zipnolan]

Alli Rashford earlier.... Probably will go Lukaku Aguero in a bit, though the gambler in me has thought of a riskier option. Unless Mahrez does something very shortly, looks like I'm going to be under a sheep and a
banana shortly....

[robot]

Dawson/alli/welbeck/sanchez smalling/lingard/martial/rashford

Zero left,i do like an extra game or 2!

Ok, well Aguero on bench. Going to hold off on the transfer, though I have misgivings in leaving him out, even when on the bench. 2 transfers left.

[Mystery]

Used my last transfer on Aguero to Kane. Just think Kane is the bigger threat to my position in this league.

[sjr]

1 left after zil to Fab. Championship beckons ? Rubbish year for me across the board. I blame the family

I went fab based on pre match comments! Suspect if they get a result they will all be on the beach after today. Especially with a new manager next season

[happyhoppy]

Week 39

All change at the top with top banana reaching the peak but with only 9 points separating the top 4 the title is literally anyone's, has the pressure of Murf winning his first egg cup since 2006/07 got to him? Robot was top scorer (just) which sees him solidify 5th. At the bottom sjr and The Saint continue to occupy the relegation spots but Lucky7s, Spiny and Mystery will be nervously looking over their shoulders!

[zipnolan]

I wish I had reached the peak, but I see a banana dangling above me....

[happyhoppy]

Must try harder. Apologies top banana you are top, top banana.

[zipnolan]

So here's my analysis of where the top 4 stand.

Top Banana - If all players play all matches, has 31 appearances remaining.
Unique players - Walker, Lingard, Martial
Missing - Sanchez

Me - if all play and I optimise transfers (ie use on Man U players), 35 appearances.
Unique players - Mahrez, Lukaku
Missing - Sanchez, Aguero

HH - Up to 31 appearances.
Unique players - Fabregas, Eriksen
Missing - Ozil, Aguero

Murf - Up to 28 appearances.
Unique players - Van Aanholt, Dier, de Bruyne
Missing points magnets - Ozil

On the surface I have the advantage in terms of total number of possible appearances, but that masks the presence of Lukaku (on the bench last week) and the absence of two players that could open up a 15 point gap in a single game. In the end it's going to come down to rotation and player motivation in the last few games.

[happyhoppy]

I'm "missing" Aguero.

Couple of Arsenal cleanies would be nice and Saints winning 5-4 next week with an Eriksen hat trick....

[zipnolan]

Thanks - corrected now. I have to say the absence of Aguero leaves me very nervous....

[happyhoppy]

I'm still annoyed about Hazard last night. Very annoyed. Annoyed I am.

[happyhoppy]

Not sure Ozil is a "missing" tbh

[top banana]

i put cards on the table and gambled on united early, Probably a bit rash(not ford-u really prefer him to martial?) so will need points from them before u can cover me.
Will be interesting to see how many of the xx appearances we get out of them, could be some strange last day teams and scorelines?
Good luck gents... for the r/u spot

[Mystery]

My final transfer update done properly finally.
