Hi Outlaw, nice to see someone posting....it'd be good to get a bit of chat going again.
You've probably closed in on me...had a decidedly average week-end (made worse by Ashley Young Angry....the Agbonlahor assist was little compensation), got only 30 points which has dropped me to 880th.

The Element problem was emphasised by the leader getting only 15 points but another "family member Roll Eyes" stepping in with 47 to take over at the top and he/she still has eight of the top eleven.

Hi MikeO,

It's a small world isn't it. i had a bit of a mare too largely due to Ashley Young. I recently reshuffled my midfield and I booted him!
Still a few of my secret weapons kept me in it. Got 32 points so out to 1500 ish with 650 points.

My biggest depression is that my starting 11 are getting dangerously close to my current teams overall position! Can there be anything worse in FF than to play a whole seaon and then discover you'ld have done better if you'ld forgotten you ever picked a team!

That hurts...normally me transferring a player in puts an end to any sort of form they might have been in up until that point.

It's working this season though (so far), my starting XI is on 594 and I've got 696. Hit my highest place (508th) with three Chelsea players to count this afternoon so hopefully I'll crack the top 500....unless Anelka gets a few again because I've not got him and probably a lot around me have.

Peaked at 448th on Boxing Day but slipped back to 594th currently.

It's not updated yesterday's games for some reason....

The Element clan took a hit over the week-end. Best place is 4th now and only four teams in the top twenty.

521st for me.

Yesterday killed me Cry. Been in the top 500 since the last post, peaking at 332, but Lampard, Boswinga and Cole cost me big time (justice in the end, Lampard shouldn't have been sent off but Boswinga should! Down to 996th.

Need to find some points from somewhere no-one else would think of....lots of them! Suggestions on a postcard please Grin,

Should? Yes!

But they won't be, rules say it stands for the purposes of TFF.

At least won't have to use a transfer replacing him, so some good from it.

ManU's result against Fulham last week was really informative.

I got 12 points from it (Van der Sar, Evra, Ronaldo) but still dropped down the order like a stone....vast majority of people around the top 500 got around 30 points.

Tells me one thing....for me to have any serious attempt at the top 100 or so ManU need to crash and burn (likely Sad). Down to 672nd now with 1146 points but four Everton players to count today so may make up a bit if we get a decent result.

Winning's out of reach (160 odd points behind) but I'm only 53 off the top 100 which would be a good result.

You'll probably finish up nearer 4000th than 100th mike!  Shocked

Jealous ...me?

How can you be doing so well with so many everton players in your selection? Surely you should cash in before its too late, you know they will fade!

Got me sixteen points today and up a couple of hundred places to 485th Grin.

Look's like Arteta's out for the duration though.

First side this season to get a clean sheet at St James' Park, rock solid defence, only one game against "big" four left to play, still (ahem) in the cup. Arsenal and Villa need to keep an eye over their shoulder Wink.

The Element challenge seems to have crashed and burned. They've gone from eight in the top eleven to only one (25th) in the top seventy-five...

....and some of them have even been overtaken by me Grin.

New high today of 324th....1197 points.

Appreciate the fact that no-one's interested, but, for the record, I'm up to 161st (with a clean sheet from Bosingwa and an assist from Lampard to come, though I don't think they'll have much effect as most teams will have the both of them).

Think I'm one of the few without Vidic in his team, which helped no end yesterday, although I do have Van der Sar and Evra.

Pain that Everton have conceded in their last two, otherwise I'd definitely be top 100 by now.
