Cazorla saved my butt!

Ya, I see dat arrow, my friend! :mad:

You bothered to captain him? After Michu the other day, that'd be quite ungodly. But, although loosing a rank, I (think I) got away with a nailbiting draw against The Tall Saints. Hurray!

Nah, no C. I wish. My gut was full of doughnuts. Bad decisions are made on a stomach full of those! :D
 
Frustrating night for Walcott; he spent most of his time checking back because the rest of the team were too slow spotting him/passing to him, and Fantaandcola kept pinching his space.

Worrying gameweek for us saps without Manchester City cover.

Cheers,
OW
 
Monday night had a big affect on our fantasy fortunes, as Santi played Santa a week early and delivered gift-wrapped points to his managers in the form of three goals, an assist and a bonus as Arsenal routed Reading.

Here's the results from the Cup, then...

Sporting Dual-Cores 70 - 48 Woodingtonhampshire
Horizon Heights 37 - 60 Omaha Latics
Elisbury Hill 34 - 47 Neutron Heath
The Stoplights 63 - 46 Pachyderm FC
Tall Saints 61 - 61 T!llionaire Toyshire
Argy-Bargy 21 - 58 Brainerd FC
LITH United 47 - 36 Pinstripe City
Mancunian Mopheads 33 - 49 Hardly Athletic
Thigh High Socks 38 - 26 Fizzy's Flyers​

Which leaves the table looking like this...

The Christmas and New Year period is not only a busy one for the Premier League – our competitions see deadlines and Gameweeks coming in thick and fast. I'll post a full set of festive fixtures and deadlines separately to make sure no one's caught out. :)
 
As I mentioned in my previous post, the Gameweeks are packed in over Christmas and the New Year so I thought it might be useful to share all the festive fixtures now, as I'm likely to be off doing family stuff and MacRumors pitch inspections over the next couple of weeks.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

My team is having discipline issues. 5 guys got yellow cards. We're gonna have to have a talk.

The red arrows are rampant! Stoplights are in a downward spiral. Need the transfer window to right this ship. Unfortunately gotta stick with this team for the next GW. :(
 
The busy Christmas and New Year period is over, and with no Premier League fixtures this weekend (due to the FA Cup) we have a brief respite to see how our teams are placed as we enter 2013.

First of all, here's the Cup table...

20-CupTable1213.png

And here's the main League table itself.

Silencio's Prospect Park FC still stand out on top, but my own Sporting Dual Cores have slashed their lead after a good start to January.

The Manager of the Month curse strikes again! :eek:

It looks like November's award brought ill fortune your way – and I imagine that pjlander will now be surrounding himself with good luck charms and the like, as it's his Fightin' Shrooms who have earned him December's MacRumors Manager of the Month Award, with a splendid points total of 347 for the month.

Well done, Silencio and pjlander. :)
 
Yes, well done on getting your highest points haul in the same week you played me in the cup :rolleyes:
 
After a very impressive first half to the season for the Mopheads, I'm doing far better than I was at this point last season. I have played my wildcard, hopefully not prematurely, so bring on 2013! Am more confident in my cup abilities this time around than the league at this point.

Did I jinx it?
 
I'm utterly clueless when to play my WC this time. :confused:

January me thinks...


On a b-note: is anyone around here playing some sort of Fifa/PEStype of game with his or her squad? I'm not, but it was quite some fun when I did it some years ago...wasn't FantasyLeague though.
 
I'd wait until the January transfers are out the way

Edit: Sorry, I mean you should play your wildcard now! Here's a list of who's currently doing well at the moment. It's colour coded to make things easier, showing who's 'hot'.

The players marked in red are the ones to go for, as they're 'on-fire' ;)

I see what you did there! ;) (switching red with yellow)

And just noticed that I've to welcome the Fizzies in my Thunderdome this GW...it's going to be a bloody feast! You just wish you'd never answered my post....
 
Haha, funny how you're overlooking Kanu here. But haven't played my WC yet, so: :cool:
 
Sorry!! My bad, thought you wanted to make a fool out of me and switched colours. Cheers!

Don't forget that your January wildcard can only be used up until the end of Gameweek 24, 11.30am on 2 February.

But should you use it this week or hold onto it? Perhaps a peruse of the upcoming Gameweek's Cup fixtures may influence your thinking...

Sporting Dual-Cores v Pinstripe City
Brainerd FC v Hardly Athletic
T!llionaire Toyshire v Fizzy's Flyers
Pachyderm FC v Thigh High Socks
Neutron Heath v Mancunian Mopheads
Omaha Latics v LITH United
Woodingtonhampshire v Argy-Bargy
Horizon Heights v Tall Saints
Elisbury Hill v The Stoplights​
