I'm chuffed with my points this week! If only Podolski had played in both games! :-)

Not bad Verde, especially considering the 8 point hit you took. But there's closing, and there's passing - and I haven't yet wildcarded.

And I've got another £5m to play with. Eat my dust.

You are now 11 points behind FF. What a difference 3 weeks makes!

Dave and me are dropping Iolo for the race for 1st place. It's still tight at the top.

Gunzi, you're forgetting the bite I took out of your 3rd place. At this rate I can see us both making it squeekybum time for some.

I'm in second (Betty Humpter) and scored the 3rd highest in the league this GW. As I said Dave & me are dropping Iolo in the race for the top spot.

Ah. Well in that case, Iolo better up his game.

I think 100pts is a bit too big a gap to close at this stage of the season, scratching about for differentials but I don't think there's going to be enough of them.

I took a punt on one last GW with bramble, but that didn't work out too well for me!

I'm top of my paid (Gold) league, and agree that the obvious choices usually pay dividends. My main differentials are my formation allowing 5 high priced mids and extra cash to allow VP & Suarez to sit up front. I can then experiment with defenders.

Similar teams is definitely common at this point. Thankfully Dave has a different enough team to me, so I've got a chance this weekend to get back to the top.

I hadn't realised our teams were so similar TV!

Pretty poor week for me so far. Experimented a bit with the double gameweek thinking Gerrard would have a good return as captain but alas not so far....a less than impressive 0! Should've gone with my instinct on Kebe in the previous week but bought in De Guzman instead and missed out on 2 valuable midfield goals but hey ho!
Like the fact our teams are fairly different near the top as it keeps it entertaining

I'm reasonably happy so far, but have a similar problem in that I have Sturridge who didn't play the first match and Suarez who got booked, to my total from the first Liverpool match was 2 points!

There's still a second match with all to play for and swansea are notoriously leaky away from home.

You're right it's good that our teams are quite different as it will certainly make it interesting as we enter the final 1/3 of the season. It's still close between you and me Dave!

I'm happy with the result today. Glad nobody near me had Enrique in, that's for sure!

TV you're still hanging on to FF's coat tails!

TV, did you wildcard last week, or is that really a 24pt hit you took back there? and for 10pts, hmmm maybe that's one knee-jerk that didn't quite work out.

TV you are utterly mad, but fair play for trying it. I guess you are still top of your paid work league so it was worth a shot.

Taken my eye off the ball in the last few weeks, but am planning my comeback to reclaim top spot - which would be a first for me (lierally!) in the FCCUK league. Was pleased that I was actually top for a while this season but I've had to double wilcard since January as things hadn't gone quite to plan ....

Are you Porto Dinorwig mona?

Si!

Q. Ou est le Monreal?

A. Sur le banc en bois, avec Walcott

Thankfully Theo came on and got an assist. Took an 8 pointer this GW, so far so good apart from the lack of Fellaini action.

No Tevez

I've had a pants few weeks!
Still top by 100 points in my no prize work league, defending my title! Need to play catch up in this one...

Last week was great, this week - so far - pretty rubbish. The only good result was seeing the outside possibility of Scumhampton getting relegated, moving fractionally closer.

I'm happy where I am with a 71 point buffer and half of this plus 2 more GWs left. I've got a similar buffer in my paid work league but the school league I'm in I've dropped to 3rd. Come on City!
