    Great big week for FC St. Pauli that vaults them to the top of the table. Well done and Sanchez certainly didn't hurt.

    thank you. It's weird having Berahino actually doing something.

    Thank goodness there is an international break next week. My strikers are dropping like flies! Might get one back in the next 2-3 weeks with a bit of luck.

    I'm glad Dennis had already picked up Rondon so I took a flier on Martial instead. Worked out great so far.

    Fabregas and Ramsey combining for 0 goals and 1 assist in 1200 minutes is absolutely stunning. Cesc was probably the worst pick of the draft considering where I took him.

    Many of last year's stars are seriously underperforming including Fabregas, Hazard, Kane, Ramsey and all of the injuries. That being said,l I gave Aguero one more chance as captain against Newcastle before I made the switch to Mariappa. Five goals will cure a lot of ills. Just stunning.

    First time I ever topped 100 in these leagues. Nice to go into the break with a lead. Have a nice two weeks everyone.

    Serious carnage in the World Cup and Euro qualifiers. I expected that Aguero would be injured at some point and a thigh is better than a hamstring. Philosophically, he scored 5 last week, so if I average those over the next month, that's one per week and one brace. I'll take it.

    Great week for Fraser, who was worried about fielding a full team. Well done.

    :thumbsup:

    I've had Wijnaldum from the very beginning and expected him to do reasonably well in England but not to that extent. As always with FPL a large slice of luck is involved.

    well, there goes my triple-captaincy. Home vs 16th Norwich and all De Bruyne can muster is one assist and a clean sheet that's offset by a yellow.

    Not a bad idea. I was surprised that City didn't do better. Of course, if Kolarov had made the penalty it would have meant 8 points, but with the miss he drew a blank for the week.

    Quite a terrible three weeks for me, but my goal was to hold on to the top of the table until Kun gets back. Mission accomplished by 3 hairs. Have a great international break. I hope there aren't too many injuries.

    716 picked up Zouma this week but he was already on Chris Sutton. The problem is that Zouma is not on Sutton's roster on the Google doc.

    That sucks. Sorry guys. If it's a trade I do at weekends I generally do it on my phone and I can't change gdocs on that so I have to rely on my failing memory reminding me on Monday morning.

    Sorry for the confusion as I'm usually on it with gdocs.

    My view is that if it isn't on the Google Doc, it still needs to be corrected, but there should be no point penalty and we should keep track of and manually add back to the score any deductions that are automatically taken.

    I hope this will be my worst week of the year--25 points. On paper it looked like a bonanza, but no clean sheets and only one assist. Ouch.

    I also agree on the Zouma issue. No point deduction but make sure we update the doc.

    Dennis picked up Hazard, but he was already on Sash Juniors.

    Zouma removed from my team. I usually open all the teams in a tab right on the fpl site to make sure but I must not have that time.

    Chrissuttonsslippers picks up Wijnaldum. Probably a nice move to get back in the lead. 3 teams have been in the lead of VSR so far this year.

    With 10 weeks to go, you can't get a much closer race than what we have right now.
