Yes, I'm the one with half a team missing who still got 40 points this week :p
I've actually given up trying to fix things. It's just too much bad luck when you get that many injured and suspended players, and I'd lose too many points if I'd replace them all.

Have you already used your wildcard, D'Arcy?
D'Arcy on 16/12/2006 at 23:49
Unfortunately yes, after the first injury spree that my team suffered...

Oh balls, I left Arteta a mile down my bench because I believed he was injured.
SCHOOLBOY ERROR

So did I. :(

"I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it": The Most Exciting League in World Football Week EighteeZZzzzZZzzzzz.As the Premiership "big four" flop into the top four spots like a bloated walrus, we celebrate the TTLG League reaching drinking age.
In other news, I can't believe it took me this long to figure out that a much better way of displaying the standings is ...

Ten thousand huzzahs for
Portreath Wreckers, who win the day with 55 points. Our very own "big two" have switched again!

"Christmas Christ!": The Arsenal's Magic Shoes Give Hughes The Blues Week Nineteen.As we hurtle like an out of control sleigh towards the birth of our saviour, it was the world's fastest ageing man Arjen Robben who popped up with a golden gift for Chelsea, whilst Wigan's defence puzzled over precisely which star to follow.
At the Emirates, Arsenal were flying. After enduring long periods where the side couldn't even dubai a goal, the gulf in quality was today evident, leaving Blackburn's beleaguered backline able to do little but shake their heads and mutter 'o man'.
And some flouncing gang of irrelevances did something in Birmingham to remain top of the league.
Speaking of leagues!

The Suicides and, even more impressively after some miserable injury woes,
Citadel Benfica, who both harvested
63 points for their respective causes.
Festive cheer to all our Fantasy Managers at this halfway stage - yet there's precious little respite, as the football action returns as swiftly as Boxing Day!

I just logged on and was surprised to see that my team had harvested some impressive 63 points this week, despite the precious contribution of Blackburn's defender Neill with -2 points (at first I thought he had been sent off, then I noticed the final score of Arsenal v Blackburn).
I didn't watch any premiership matches this weekend, as I was travelling. Judging from the result, I guess my team performs better when I'm completely unaware of what's going on :p

"Fox in the box(ing day)": The Linvoy Primus Week Twenty.I was going to put the Ashley Cole/Essien own goal here, but sadly it seems to currently be missing from youtube. So here's Peter Crouch dressed as a parrot instead:

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/3983/ttlgleaguedec27dx4.pngThe 1000 point barrier is broken! As part of a mighty trio having a
65 point week,
Razzall's Rovers land a grand (plus one).
Meanwhile, a nation ponders whether to sell John Terry or whether to hang on for a bit.
