Rooney out for RvP. Thought there'd be goals in this game. Didn't think they'd be scored by Delia's mob

Worked out well Mystery and getting closer.

Final question is do I hold RVP for West Brom or twist Rooney for the extra game, but United's games could be tricky.....

I'm looking at Stevie G in Murf's team and as a Liverpool fan I'm hoping Murf pulls away a bit.

By my maths that's 18 points gained on the leaders today. Might have to get Rooney now just to hang on.

Post by **happyhoppy** » 05 May 2012, 20:02

It would be funny if Murf fell away no offence Murf.

Cisse and Jellyfish aren't exactly in a goal drought are they though. Now there's an idea....

I've only got 6 transfers so unless you all put Wolves players in I can't see how I can compete as you can cover any moves but it's nice to be on the podium thanks to The Ledge's incompetence. I can't see past a Murf win atm unless you can come up trumps NB.

There's some great posts in the 450-475 region of this thread

Gambled to get 1st. 2nd or 3rd is irrelevant in comparison.

True. Tbf you still have a great chance. Today is d day.

Suarez to Rooney today

Post by **happyhoppy** » 06 May 2012, 13:32

Happy Eggs

Howard 3.5
Enrique 3.6
Heitinga 2.9
Walker 2.9
Bale 4.4
Dempsey 4.1
Mata 4.3
Gerrard 5.0
Adebayor 5.2
Suarez 6.2

Rooney 7.0
Torres 6.6

Total Value: £49.5
Transfers Remaining: Out

Reason for Transfer(s)

Hoping Torres will play the last 2 rather than maybe a deflated Suarez and Murf doesn't have Rooney any more so had to come in.

Good luck everyone and thanks again for a most enjoyable season of competition and banter.

I fear that Adebayor goal could give Mystery the title.
What an amazing run he has made!

Post by **happyhoppy** » 06 May 2012, 15:58

It's only 5 pts NB calm yourself

, you are still clear favourite I think, bad day for Murf though.

Will be an exciting final day, closest ever and potentially 4 teams could win which is unprecedented I would think.

Post by **Neath boy** » 06 May 2012, 16:05

Yes 5 points plus a Hart cs!

Post by **Neath boy** » 06 May 2012, 16:07

I had considered covering Adebayor too but given Evans' injury and a report I read said he may miss final 2 games I felt I should replace him rather than replace a player with 2 games left for another.
Going to the wire!

Post by **Mystery** » 06 May 2012, 23:03

RvP to Rooney today. It's gambling on having enough points elsewhere in my team. Slightly cowardly but we'll only see next week.

Ta - the past two seasons have convinced me I should have a proper shot at a divisional next year. 17th place before today and would love to know how many of the 16 above had used transfers at Christmas. Personally I still think you're favourite. Some of the match ups are fascinating though. Siggy v Ramires, Hart v de Gea, Suarez v Torres. And then there's two more teams not out of it. Awesome!

I'm too far back (-38) so top 3 for me with NB strong favourite with an 18pt lead.

Post by **Mystery** » 07 May 2012, 08:44

Up to 13th in Div 5 today. Gaining on everyone bar the leader.

Post by **murf** » 07 May 2012, 13:44

"Form not fixtures" they say.

My big gamble of a front trio of form players got me 4 points this weekend....

Ive used the last of my transfers. Im probably a late contender to win the league now.

Post by **Digsby** » 08 May 2012, 21:22

Apologies for how crap I've been in showing my transfers on here this season. Must do better next year.
Done a load of transfers tonight hoping for a goal fest.

Post by **Mystery** » 08 May 2012, 21:24

Ramires brings the gap down. Five goals and not a sniff for Torres or Suarez

Post by **Digsby** » 08 May 2012, 21:25

I even put Jonjo Shelvey in

Post by **happyhoppy** » 08 May 2012, 21:26

Suarez has a KC for the 1st.

Missed that on the BBC text. Still considering it a lucky escape here. I could have been dead at half time.

Post by **Mystery** » 09 May 2012, 10:49

Gap down to 14

Post by **Neath boy** » 09 May 2012, 13:23

It's going to be tight. Squeeky bum time!
