Correction, three from Mane! Looks like this week is the Deeney and Mane show, just wish I had Mane as captain
Either way - I think you have the title clinched. Triple captain for a goalie who doesn't play sucks!
you might get the triple for your VC instead, not sure if that's how it works if your C doesn't play but it might
Yeah Willian - not much points from him so far but he has Liverpool to play - moral dilemma Big battle for second for promotion
Fight for second could be decided in this double game week Eternal City leads me by 12 points. He has Mannone v Everton, Cathcart away to Norwich, Martin home to Watford, Lallana and Sturridge v Chelsea, Lukaku away to Sunderland. Sturridge is captain. He will play on Wednesday for sure. If not, Townsend's three points become six. I have Ogbonna v Man U, Brady v Watford, the Chelsea threesome of Willian, Hazard and Costa away to Liverpool, Deeney away to Norwich, Rashford away to West Ham and Barkley away to Sunderland. My captain is Adrian (triple captain) but is seems he won't play eithjer game. That gets me one point off the sub bench and I assume VC Willian picks up the armband - he currently has 2 which would triple to six. Seems to me the match that will decide it is Liverpool v Chelsea. ECFC has Sturridge (captain) and Lallana while I have three Chelsea players and most likely a triple captain in Willian unless Adrian makes a dramatic recovery to play Man U. Odds are on ECFC beating me this week as Liverpool at home with Klopp saying he is playing his full strength team should take care of Chelsea who lost away to Sunderland on the weekend. But we'll wait and see .. Tuesday sees West Ham v Man Utd, so that will affect a few things first.
Norm has a 100 point lead - so definitely down to 2nd place battle Excellently poised as ECFC has a slim 6 point lead on me. Norwich v Watford ECFC has a defender on each team, Cathcart and Martin so will probably be rooting for a 0-0 .. especially as I have two players on the attacking end Brady (Norwich) and Deeney (Watford). I want high scoring, ECFC wants a boring draw! Norwich desperately need a win and help from Everton ... Sunderland v Everton I have Barkley (Everton), while ECFC has Mannone (Sunderland) and Lukaku (Everton) I need Barkley to score but no Lukaku assist or goal to ruin Mannone's clean sheet! Sunderland need a win to survive and they will surely be going for it. Liverpool v Chelsea ECFC has Sturridge (captain) and Lallana. Early news is both will play as Klopp puts out his likely starting XI for next week's Europa League final (resting them all v West Brom on the weekend). Good news for ECFC. I have Costa, Willian and Hazard. However, Costa is out injured (hamstring). The wild card here is that my triple captaincy of Adrian did not take effect as he didn't play due to a late injury. That means Spurs goalie comes in off the bench for an additional 1 point and the triple captaincy goes to Willian - my VC. He already has a massive 2 points!! Let's make that six with his triple captaincy!! With Lloris' point and Willian's extra 4 that gives me an additional 5 points before we kick off today -- meaning the gap is actually ONE point between us!! I have a meeting during the first half but as the second half rolls on I will try and give live updates on this tight promotion battle. My prediction is that Sturridge's captaincy is gonna push ECFC over the top today.
It sounds like it will be a major battle this week between you and ECFC, I'll have the same in the Statler Waldorf final and hoping my all-out attack chip puts me over the top
Deeney and Hazard both score giving my team some life ... from 23 now up to 43 points Clean sheet for Mannone but a Cathcart OG! From 25 upto 29 points now
Sunderland win 3-0 and Norwich win 4-2. Big story there are the goals by Watford. Liverpool trail to Hazard's goal for Chelsea, but still time left ......
Liverpool draw 1-1 with Chelsea with a late goal from Benteke assisted by Ojo Doesn't affect either one of us .. standings update as soon as the site catches up and throws in strange bonuses. I am cheering for a Deeney bonus!
Me on 42 but autosub and captain to be added, that would be 49 ECFC with 40 with huge clean sheet from Mannone. My calculations put me ONE point ahead of ECFC before any bonuses heading into final week on Sunday!!
Bonus rumours GW37 , DAY3 , Current Bonus : #SUNEVE Koné (3) Kaboul (2) Mannone (1) #NORWAT Mbokani (3) Redmond (2) Deeney (1) #LIVCHE Hazard (3) Lallana, Benteke (2) If so I get 4 for Deeney and Hazard, ECFC gets one for Mannone ...
Bit of a scare in that one, he had a -4 for transfers so had a 5 point cushion but still very close. My opponent Real Newark for the final scored 90+ in his semis matchup so it will be a tough challenge but the dusty dark horse is ready to do this!
So going into last week of the season Stormin Gunners Norman Coyle 1,950 Kopite Juniors Chloe M Adams 1,862 Eternal City FC Robert Schwoch 1,854 Fair warning, I have bench boost points coming this week. But need to make some moves to get rid of injured players!!
Ozil and Mane are 75% for this weekend, need them to play to have a decent shot at the S-W Cup! Just one more game for them until the off-season, told them to play through the pain and make this happen for my fantasy team. I didn't receive a reply back for some reason
