Yep, the results flattered him a bit, he wasn't that awesome. The defending was just very good, as George noted.Quote:

Damn only gone up one place Ah well lucky seven.
Torres and van persie are both on top form and my defence is almost perfect but I'm lacking on midfield.
I was wondering who's played their wildcard? because I may need to make quite a lot of changes.
Two new changes (took a four point hit):
Tevez for Torres
Benjani for Viduka
Which will hopefully give me a few dollars to play with next week...
I'm still not certain of my forwards. Torres and Anelka are good on paper, but I can't help but feel that perhaps I should swap Torres for Van Persie or something. Also finally filled that gap in my midfield (previously belonging to Speed/Barry/Downing) with Petrov which I'm hoping will net me some decent points. I'd rather like to hit first again.
Torres is undoubtedly a good player, but I'm not sure he's worth his 10+ valuation, when you can get other good forwards (Tevez, Adebayor, Saha etc) for under 9.
There's a pretty obvious reason why I'm not going to go with any Liverpool striker. I'll give you a clue: It's something that a fat man with a goatee worse than mine likes to do.
Part of me thinks if I remove Torres then he'll score three goals in the derby against Everton, whereas if I keep him in, Everton'll beat Liverpool. Decisions, decisions. I imagine I'll swap him for an Arsenal striker. Agree with you about the rotation system as I initially promised myself to only use one Liverpool player (Reina).
Torres was injured so he didn't play against everton.
And I took a harsh drop this week.
Good job I took him out in the end then, eh? I think nobody scored terribly highly this week. I'm fairly disappointed with my 50 points, but I feel that with a little further tweeking, I'll have my best squad yet.
Things that went right this week (so far):
Dropping Torres for Tevez.
My goalscoring defenders.
Dropping Jermaine Pennant to the bench (he came on in the 88th minute).
Things that went not-so-right:
Leaving Benjani on the bench (which is where he'll stay unless either Neill or N'Zogbia don't play tomorrow). :(
That's it Cesc, you ain't my captain no more after this week. Obviously the second I change it you'll start scoring goals again, but I'm sure I'll find a way to live with that.
Another good week for me, slowly clawing my way up the table
Keane did me well yesterday.
But looking where I am the point gaps are really small between 9th and 11th.
Hey, Cz. Looking forward to watching Arsenal tonight? I'll predict the score will be 3 - 0 to the Gunners!
Two more changes:
Mascherano for Pennant
Elano for Hamann
Switched the captaincy to Rio - don't see him conceding many goals against Boro.
Liverpool and Arsenal play each other next week and Man City face Chelsea. It may not be a good week for me...
