I'm down to a provisional 6 players. Could take a big transfer hit but the 5 games are rotten. Can't see many goals/points.

Dead, alive or posting from the Tora Bora Caves, Steve wins easy. Everyone else is chasing rainbows. Once the leader goes 100 pts clear, it's game over.
Yeah I'm hoping that's the case
But Splodge gaining 70 points on me in two weeks makes you realise that things can change quick & you're never safe until it's mathematically impossible
which it can never be in this comp until the last game.
Does anyone remember how much Gerry won by last season?
If I remember rightly Godot said he would have caught him if the season had gone on for a bit longer.
Gerry always was a Pacemaker.

I'm no expert but I think that applies to this season too. No matter what happens.
It must be 60s night, or something.

Maybe if it went on for five years. I actually said I would never have caught him - it was Percival Marsh who was in second who I was gaining on steadily.
Gerry played consistently well and I only chipped little bits off his lead and he always came back. His lead was in the region of 200pts.
Don is right I think, you can't be caught, unless you play very riskily (or lose the phone number of the bloke giving you the tips 
) This week is a good example: as one of the few players to captain Suarez I gained a lot more points than those with Sturridge or Addy, but those players had either Gerard and Hazard or both so it didn't really help. You didn't captain Suarez but you didn't sell him and the fifteen points together with Hazard's ten meant I only gained 5 over you when I needed 15 per week to pass you.
A situation like the Suarez/Addy one doesn't happen very often so you can see there's not much chance. The funny thing is at the end of last season I recognised that it was important to stop the gaps getting too wide mid season, but I couldn't stop it happening.
You made big leaps on GW5, 9, 10 and 11. Some of that was fortuitous - you had 16pts for Baines in GW5 that no-one was expecting and Brady subbed on in place of Van Persie for 12pts, but other times you played really well. Your form is slipping a bit now but I think you've done enough.
Incidentally I would be in third place if you add in the 32pts I got deducted f**king up my wildcard, and I would say that I am still more of a threat to you than Splodge.
I sense the tide might be about to turn for Don, and that he'll hit a wave of good fortune.
The team name is apt - my players are sea units.
C- Men?
Where are the big points coming from this week, George? Stamford Bridge aside, the games look flat and dull.
Just heading out for the evening, Don, but will give it some thought and get back to you in the early hours. Doesn't look too inspiring, does it?
I'm pondering over Mata right now. Will he be inspired by losing his place in the Spain squad, or shrink into his shell like Ozil after that penalty miss? Are Utd players best avoided for the whole season?
Keep forgetting I need to do this tonight. Won't have time in the merry morning. It's going to be a tough weekend.
Looks like you've got a good few playing though.
But as Don says, there's nothing much to catch the eye in this weeks fixtures.
I even bought a Palace player for heavens sakes
Just made a few transfers. Wasn't really sure what the hell to do, but brought in Bassong as I think Norwich v Stoke will be a bore draw.
