GW21 - Deadline 11.30 am Saturday 14th January

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.

We're back! Does that count as a winter break? Christmas is now very officially over, along with FA Cup runs for several PL lovelies.
I think we're all in one piece. Except for Ibra. And Mane, Ozil, Walcott, Antonio, Bellerin, Benteke... Still, Coutinho is back, Rose on the rise and Giroud's beard is channelling his Zen, or summat. Defoe and Lukaku had a pretty fine showing last GW, so maybe they can keep it going.

What IGM need to do is not just keep it going, but get our va-va-voom back! Let's look at the tables:

How can this be? :oops: and the H2H, whilst better, is still tight.

so, a rallying cry to everyone but especially IGM - tinker now, keep an eye on the transfer window for Wildcard spending, and watch out for black cats named after pesto ingredients.

Forza IGM, and F.A.B!

Thunderbirds are go! :D

Some juicy fixtures this week.
Watford v Middlesbrough looks like a stormer!

I wonder who's got Mike Dean this week. It'll be a blood bath

:twisted:

I must say, despite having joined late and only wanting to see what the fantasy footie was all about i am thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks to all those, who organise and take apart, for making it happen and for making it fun. Come on Gothic Rangers ;D

Damn this winter slog, have my squad have gone yellow or red, somewhat hampering attempts to freshen it up. So, fingers crossed for Ibra cos I've no-one on the bench worthy of the name (soz scouse-teletubby there's no way on god's green earth you're getting picked this w/e), and good luck IGM, apologies from the mist-enshrouded Toluca Lake for managing the lowest score last GW, oops.

Costa's not doing himself favours, is he?

I can understand Costa, I've been offered £1 a month to join a Chinese Fantasy League, the money is so tempting.

At least Costa will be able to fall back on his good looks if the proposed move goes the way of the pear.

Allez les rouges.

His agent's in China & apparently Tianjin Quanjian are lining up an £80m deal :eek:

They should take a look at Payet. They'd only need to better the 30 quid Marseille are set to offer for him.

They'd be even more stupid to let him go I think. They aren't exactly awash with midfielders of that quality

I'm searching for OG in the team lists. He seemed to do really well this week

I traded OG for Costa, brilliant.

At first I thought you meant Olivier Giroud ... .. .

i got nearly as many points just out of the Spurs game than I got the whole GW last week :D
Mind you, it was the week Alli stopped scoring, once I made him captain.
4 still to play, so am expecting at least another 4 points :p
