there's always one

Nikolas Vitus Lagartija · 06 Nov 2016, 18:49

Only one team with a clean sheet this weekend, which will restrict overall totals a little. Would have been a good GW to have played All Out Attack though.

06 Nov 2016, 19:09

Yep. Liverpool conceding lost me 6 points.

bearskin · 06 Nov 2016, 19:31

I see the team with the most points after Saturday has Coutinho/Hazard/Barkley/deBruyne midfield. Quite tasty. If I can had my WildCard I'd be doing a quick copy of that.

do it anyway before the GW points count in our league.

eastmidswhizzkid · 07 Nov 2016, 00:59

i still had ibrahimovitch so 12 pts from him and enough to buy costa from his subsequent sale.

...and i'm 7th from bottom now.

07 Nov 2016, 10:47

I'm top of my works' league. So that's something.

Planet Dave is NOT well pleased, Lee! But not because of some city or scouse muppets, I've come to the conclusion that to do well at this you really do have to put aside personal and sensible concerns, and employ the enemy. I also joined half the planet, toyed with the weekly 'Ibra or aguero? Ibra...or aguero' captaincy debate then thought ah fk it and sold Ibra. I apologise to the team for squandering many points. Saw that looneypool scored 6 and smiled an FPL smile, then watched motd2 and observed neither of my scousers score any of them, the clubfooted gimps. My squad needs an overhaul and the wildcard was spunked weeks back, it's looking like a long trog through winter for Toluca Lake United, shame I can't sign Pyramid Head as centre-forward.
Nice to hear you're heading towards mid-table respectability though Lee, about time you pulled yer finger out

emilystrange · 07 Nov 2016, 17:53

my turn now, it looks like

eastmidswhizzkid · 07 Nov 2016, 17:56

jo, had i known you weren't so far above me it wouldn't have bothered me. i had just got used to looking up and seeing your arse directly above me for the last 2 seasons.

emilystrange · 07 Nov 2016, 18:02

my commiserations

GW11 is officially over, which is just as well because we're all a bit out of breath. Some stunning results and displays of dominance, as well as Hull (described as having to push water uphill after half time) doing the unexpected. Sunderland's win alone took out large areas of the north east. Man U managed to win against Swansea with wotsisface in the stands - perhaps they should try that more often? Ibra and Pogba show some promise, Kane is back scoring and Liverpool flatten everything in their path. Chelsea did quite well too, but given Everton's show, it's hardly surprising.
So how did we fare, we few armchair fanagers? Ups and downs, as always... It was close. 14 points in it. EIB win the GW by 10 points, with BB&S only 4 points behind IGM. Any more of this and we'll be sharing each other's Insette Spikey by accident. IGM are still winning though

Here's the very big table:

You'll note that the overall yellow jersey (still blindingly yellow)

and the H2H

stay firmly with Nikolas, though he's there for the catching.
The very big

goes to The Roker Roar for a very handy 84 points.
Good work, all!

The next GW commences on 19th November so that the big brave lads can throw themselves at each other in the guise of Internationals. Stretchers at the ready!
