My 8 point lead is now 4 after I took a 4 point hit to get fit players on the pitch Very worried about lots of teams playing kids this weekend. Hope Sunderland has been partying hard and let Watford run up the score
Ozil and Mane must have got my message, both now listed as active this weekend. Real Newark will have a battle on his hands for the S-W Cup that's for sure
Last transfer made for the season, Gayle in for Defoe who is not expected to play today. Hopefully it will make a difference vs Real Newark today!
Picked up an Ozil assist with Giroud's second from his hat trick, extra plus seeing us leap frog over Tottenham to second place
Not sure who won the SW Cup due to the postponed match, bizarre situation at Old Trafford today. Fortunately nothing happened and hope they catch who did that.
Hmm ECFC still has two subs who earned 1 point each to come in - ending the season 1 point behind me! However, I have one Man U player - hypothetically he could red carded and I could lose a promotion spot!!!
Both of my defenders are from Man U (Smalling and Valencia), both also have some offense to their game so hoping they do well so I can win the SW Cup and maybe the overall table if I'm lucky
I am sure you noticed that Newark's Iwobie didn't play, so John Stones' clean sheet 6 points is going to come off his bench. Payet also didn't play so another point from Yedlin from his bench. So add 7 to his total. He still has Rojo and as you said you have Smalling and Valencia. Big thing to consider with top 4 wrapped up and FA Cup looming is that Man U might field a reserve team and some of these defenders might not play!! You have two points form Fuchs waiting, and even Cook of Bournemouth might prove crucial. On my fight for second, my calculations were correct I have 1902 points and ECFC has 1901 after two subs come in. He has no Man U or Bournemouth players. So as long as Rashford doesn't get negative points for me tomorrow promotion is secured. Wow, what a finish!
That is the definition of a photo finish, every point counts in fantasy sports. I once had a NHL title decided by # of shots on goal since the points were the same and head to head numbers were the same. My chances are slim of winning the SW but there's still a chance, if Cook scores a hat trick that would be awesome
Almost game time to decide the SW Cup and the overall All-Rocks table. Just sent a air mail package to Cook of Philly cheesesteaks (I'm only 20 min from south Philly so not a problem), he promised me at least a brace
No Rojo for Newark and no subs points as he already has 7 points coming on for two of them, his other sub didn't play. Clean sheet for Man U gives you the win, surely? Currently he leads you 47-41, but he cannot get any more points. You need seven points from you two defenders. A goal for Bournemouth means you need an assist from Smalling or Valencia. In other news, for promotion I need Rashford to get 0 points or above -- no negatives - so no own goals or red cards please. He is on the pitch
SW cup! Might not get the overall All Rocks title but thanks to the clean sheet today I have the cup Congrats Mark, that Rashford goal from Valencia assist clinched it for both of us
