Howard
Baines -  Vermaelen - Agger (vc) - Ferdinand
Nasri (c) - Lennon - Nani - Oxlade-Chamberlain - Dembele
Lukaku

Hernandez
McCauley
Suarez

Bit of a worry that Everton comes up against Chelsea and Tottenham vs Stoke, thats not good :/ Lukaku is against United as well, we're screwed :P

[elephants]

flower! I didn't name a captain/vice-captain! Wouldn't that be a horror way to go out of the comp ::)

Dempsey has just scored and snatched an assist too so hoping he can get me off to a better start than my Blue Boys did :(

[My Chumps]

Lawl :P

Sturridge scores a hatrick when we have the week off  ::)

Progress Update

KKS United - 35
Still to Play - Nasri (C), Vermaelen, Chamberlain

vs

The Flippin' Pancakes - 28
Still to PLay - Monreal, Walcott, Milner

So it comes down to this:
Vermaelen vs Monreal
Summary: Vermaelen has played 2 minutes in the last 4 games, so no idea whether he will be playing or not and KKS have no more subs so could be a possible zero. Monreal has also been in and out of the side, so could be a zero, which in that case Jones comes in with a score of 2.

Chamberlain vs Walcott
Summary: Chamberlain hasn't played more than 23 minutes in a game in the last 7. Walcott on the other hand is in great form, averaging 8 points a game from his last 3.

Nasri (C) vs Milner
Summary: Neither been in very impressive form, but Nasri has picked up some assists recently. Add the captaincy to that and Nasri should outscore Milner fairly comfortably.

Prediction: With the current 7 point advantage and captain still to play I think KKS United have got the edge in this game, but that can all change depending on how Walcott plays...

[My Chumps]

It's gonna go down to the wire!

[elephants]

Lacking captaincy will prove to be my downfall. Sad but deserved.

[elephants]

My god, this will be incredibly close!
