Damn you Germans not having Lahm and Klose playing. I reckon I would have had you in that last round if not for their absense. Guess it finally resolves who knows their football on this forum. :twisted:

No dice. My keeper was Neuer, one of my forwards was Klose and one of my defenders was Lahm. I'd have won by just as much.

I actually made the silly mistake of removing Suarez and bringing in Aguero back before the tournament started. I would have won by even more if I'd done that :lol: Silly me.

Scraped into 5th :cool:

Started ok, dropped off for a bit and then clawed my way back into a respectable position.

Successful morning for me. Had van Bronkhorst, Robben and Sneijder all in my first XI. Had Maxi Pereira on the bench too. So heres hoping that Capdevila doesn't play. :lol:

I think my team is cursed. Robben, Vela, Buffon all got injured, Gourcuff got dropped, and Demichellis pretty much handed South Korea a goal. I used to have Grella on the bench as a shit kicker and now he's injured. :lol:

Might start putting some Serbians and Ghana players in my team :-k

I picked up 10 points overnight. I've only got Sergio Aguero playing tonight, so I'm not expecting too many points. :( Hopefully he can grab a goal or two though :D

Edit: He didn't even play :cry:

Took a gamble and picked Higuain...

Higuain---Villa---Suarez
Iniesta--Gourcuff--Ozil--Hamsik
Ramos---Evra---Johnson
Neuer

subs: Agger, Vidosic, Perez...and a cheap striker

Not sure if picking attacking midfilders over wingers is the way to go or how Suarez will go. But time will tell.

EDIT: that didn't take long, got rid of the back-up striker and bought in the cheapest keeper I could find, bought Aguero and replaced Suarez...now I just have to hope all three of them play and don't get injured 8-[

I am confident that imno knows more about the players overall, I think I still beat him in the EPL fantasy comp though :-k

I am pretty happy with being able to pick up Schwarzer and Bertos so damn cheap, so will look into the cheap strikers for one who may surprise and get a Mexican midfielder to replace Holman.
