Game Week 9 - fantasy footie

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

2 benched and 5 bookings. cards cost me 6 points right there as 1 was my captain. Could have had another 5 from the subs made.
Do managers not KNOW that people get another point if their player plays 60 mins? one of mine was off after 57. sheesh.

I can only assume he thought Ivanovich used the force to bring down Di Maria.

:evil:
My thoughts exactly. That sending off costs points plus he loses out on the clean sheet he would have got if they'd still had 11 on the pitch. Gutting

Whenever I sign a new striker he stops scoring goals :|
I have a similar reverse effect - ditch a striker and he starts scoring. Happened with Bony twice yesterday, and my old friends Ings and Adebayor on the score-sheet today. Needless to say I also have Ivanovic in my team and have dropped a further place in the table as a result. :roll:

yep ivanovitch's gift has turned sour, losing me 2pts as he was my captain. 30 points only this week, still up a place but undoubtedly that will be cancelled by tomorrows game which i have no participants in.

@pista -your striker theory is alive and well over here. :?

I kept Diego Costa on in the end... and he didn't play again. So I'm waiting on points from Hutton tonight to make up my week's team. Still, I look like keeping hold of 5th spot this week (And top in my works league) 8)

50% chance, away at ManU :eek: I'm risking that he'll get a game... :lol:
Sorry :oops: :oops: :oops:

I've had a very low scoring week. :urff: Liverpool fail to save me again :eek:

One game left and it'll probably give me a minus as Villa go down to QPR :lol:

Without wanting to risk the kiss of death, I don't think QPR stand a chance this evening.

Quiet Steven! As long as Vlaar makes 57 tackles and scores eight I'm happy ... .. .
No hang on, almost happy, I don't do happy.

STEVEN!! This is your fault!!

The pencil needs a new owner.

I managed to crawl up to 50 points thanks to Vlaar actually turning up. Just four points off the top, I think.

I think that you and I currently share what was known (in the words of a song beloved of John Peel by the Wolfhounds IIRC) as the anti-Midas touch.

I am pure catastrophe... Utter disgrace for TCC-team...
It must be my visit to Heidelberg triggered the opening of this black hole I am now falling into deeper and deeper... Mertesacker on the bench with six points, while Ivanovic is getting red card on his debut in my team - that was real peak of everything! Now, I will finally switch to Southampton... and most probably ruin their so-far-fantastic-season...

I think if it had been a straight red, he'd have been automatically suspended.
This sending off was for 2 yellows. Players are given up to 5 cautions between season start & year end before they are suspended for one game.

I'm still baffled at why RVP never got a card for taking his shirt off after scoring.
That's supposed to be an automatic yellow.
Cheers.
