Still waiting on LE, Holz and DG to name teams. Not looking good... :-\

[elephants]

Sneaking suspicion I'm gonna lose this week cos I wasn't home in time to remove my Fulham players, enter my Pool players, make Walcott captain and start Gibbs while benching Terry and Riise. flower.

Anyone want top spot?

[Jukes]

I think the bench system has the only purpose of robbing me of points.

And of course Silva gets 66% of his season's goals against me as captain. Typical.

[BoredSaint]

Liverpool finally keep a clean sheet but skyrtle gets dropped

[CrowsFan]

Must be why they kept it :P

[elephants]

Errrgggg terrible week compounded by the fact I couldn't make the appropriate changes to my side :(

[My Chumps]

Sturridge and Gerrard score in a 5-0 Liverpool win. Great weekend for football  8)

[CrowsFan]

Score update! :)

Goodfellas 52 vs 66 Scaling Saints
Players Left
Goodfellas - Mertesacker and Reid
Scaling Saints - None
Analysis
Highly doubtful Mertesacker and Reid can score 15 points between them to get the win. Lock Saints in for the 3 points here.

YNWA Warriors 32 vs 41 Blue Mountain State
Players Left
YNWA Warriors - Podolski (C) and Wilshere
Blue Mountain State - Szczesny
Analysis
Tough one to call here. Podoslki didn't play in the first game and if he doesn't play again Wilshere will become captain and Johnson will come off the bench meaning the Warriors will be on 40 with Wilshere (C) to play. Could be a very close game...

KKS United 55 vs 44 The Casserole Kids
Players Left
KKS United - Vermaelen and Chamberlain
The Casserole Kids - O'Brien and Sagna
Analysis
11 point lead, I would say KKS United have this game won.

The Flippin' Pancakes 35 vs 49 The Brown Trumpets
Players Left
The Flippin' Pancakes - Walcott, Nolan, Giroud, and Gibbs
The Brown Trumpets - Cazorla and Koscielny
Analysis
The Pancakes really need their players to fire if they want to have a chance of winning this one...
