Week 37 Fantasy Football Review

Well done all!

Week 37 has just passed.

Aaron (3220 pts) strengthens 1st place with the 2nd-highest score of 93 pts, thanks to Steed Malbranque, Shay Given, Nolberto Solano and Gary Naysmith. But why didn't he keep Ameobi?

The gap is now 153.5 pts as Clarence (3066.5 pts) strengthens 2nd place with 84.5 pts, thanks to Malbranque, Benjani Mwaruwari and Dean Kiely.

Benjamin (2832 pts) takes 7th place with the highest score of 106 pts, thanks to Malbranque, Matthew Taylor, Given and Solano.

Darrell (2775 pts) strengthens 9th place with the 3rd-highest score of 86 pts, thanks to Taylor, Given, Solano and Naysmith.

Jasmine (2979.5 pts) maintains 3rd place with 64.5 pts, only 14 points ahead of Gareth (2965.5 pts), thanks to Solano, Kiely and Thierry Henry.

At the other end, Keh (1911.5 pts) should just balik kampung to Tongkang with the worst score of 0 pts, no thanks to *gasp* an empty teamsheet!

See you next week! It's the penultimate week!

Inimitable truths

I couldn;t repair my brakes so I made my horn louder.
The evening news is where they begin 'good evening' and then tell you why it isn't.
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

Dumb and Dumber

If she had another brain, it would feel lonely.
The lights are on but nobody's home.

Fantasy Football Week 37

This is my team for Week 37.

Brian McBride
There should be goals galore against Wigan.
WIG: Got booked.

Everton to look for goals against a Birmingham side shorn of a few first-teamers. Replaced Lua-Lua.

Steed Malbranque
There should be goals galore against Wigan. Replaced Camara.
WIG: Scores the winner and earns big points!

Andres D'Alessandro
In good form.

Week 36 Fantasy Football Review

Well done all!

Week 36 has just passed.

Aaron (3127 pts) slips catastrophically in 1st place with 89 pts, no thanks to Tal Ben Haim, Craig Moore, Shola Ameobi, Emmanuel Adebayor and Lee Bowyer. He suffered bad luck with Ameobi, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Pedro Mendes and Bowyer injured, and Ben Haim sent off. How different if Alan Shearer and Charles N'Zogbia had replaced he literally toothless Ameobi and Bowyer.

The gap is now 145 pts as Clarence (2982 pts) strengthens 2nd place with the 3rd-highest score of 192.5 pts, thanks to Wayne Rooney, Shearer, N'Zogbia and Brian Priske. What a difference a week makes!

Jasmine (2903.5 pts) takes 3rd place with 182 pts, only 7.5 points ahead of Gareth (2896 pts), thanks to Rooney, Shearer and Jermaine Jenas.

Lianbin (2801.5 pts) further strengthens 7th place with the 2nd-highest score of 193.5 pts, thanks to Rooney, Shearer and John Terry.

Benedict (2655.5 pts) rises 3 places to 11th with the highest score of a phenomenal 242 pts, thanks to Frank Lampard, Jimmy Bullard and Rooney.

At the other end, Keh (1911.5 pts) should just balik kampung to Tongkang with the worst score of 0 pts, no thanks to 6 empty slots in his team.

See you next week!

Emmanuel Adebayor
More than doubled his value. How to sell? But playing WBA anyway.

Buying him to prove my commitment to Chelsea's downfall.
CHE: Israeli idiot.
@WBA: Banned. Damn.

Aaron (3038 pts) strengthens 1st place with 63 pts, though he was hampered by the abandonment of Fulham vs Sunderland, rendering Brian McBride, Steed Malbranque, Rory Delap and Philippe Christanval scoreless. James McFadden and Stewart Downing didn't help either.

The gap is now 248.5 pts as Clarence (2789.5 pts) slips in 2nd place with 55.5 pts, no thanks to Luke Moore and Fulham trio Collins John, Malbranque and Wayne Bridge.

Gareth (2787.5 pts) gains in 3rd place with 71 pts, only 2 points behind Clarence, though having McBride, Malbranque and Bridge didn't really help him.

Ben (2595 pts) strengthens 8th place with the 3rd-highest score of 104 pts, thanks to Andres D'Alessandro, van der Sar and Robbie Keane.

At the other end, Zikai (1822 pts) was just lame with the worst score of 50.5 pts, no thanks to scoreless Walter Pandiani, Mikael Forssell, Gareth Southgate, Lorenzo Amoruso and Moritz Volz.
