The Scoreboard presents the Fantasy Premier League information you need from the day’s matches all on one screen, including the current top five BPS (Bonus Point System) standings from each match (potential Bonus Point earners are in bold). Actual Bonus Points will be shown when added – all points are provisional until then.
That could be interesting.

Wilshere had a coke problem a while back and the injury he was said to be out with was a cover up.

Thoughts on City
Yaya and Silva - Might not play both games in DGW
City defence - not exactly reliable right now
I think Yaya and Aguero might be enough, hard to justify a City defender over Kos or a United defenderOpen Controls
Who are you all thinking of captaining in GW36?
Open Controls
Not Ramires.
Open Controlsprobably aguerooooooo

God, that's this week? Only three weeks left 🙁
I think I'm going with Rooney, but I could also see myself returning to the Suarez safety blanket.Open Controls

I will vent here as it is "safe"....
Referee's - what posses a man to take the whistle at such a young age? At local league the standard is so poor you would not believe, yet in the "pyramid" the standard improves, yet these people, have rarely ever played the game at any level and simply do it for the tax free money paid by the Home team and not the FA's.
The Pyramid is a decent standard yet much off these officials are so bad, it simply causes real issues for Clubs as you cant talk to them, they throw cards around to show their strength and power, then simply make outrageous decisions with no recourse as protected by the respective FA's (due to shortage) and simply take their "tax free wage" it has been suggested that many are easily influenced and encouraged to throw cards out by the FA's!
I personally witness this weekly and these a-holes have no clue about the game, or people skills and are turning players away from the game!
These officials then feed into the next tier of football, not the better ones, simply those which would be willing to do extra travelling and earn a few extra £s.
Do they improve - NO
Do they get extra training - NO
Those which we see in the EPL are the Elite that have "served" their time and are the best of breed, however they come from the very structure I have outlined.
You cannot grow up wanting a career as a Referee or even more ridiculous would be wanting to grow up and be a Referee's Assistant (think about it for a minute). There are so called "professionals" who run sideways up and down half a pitch a raises a flag - this is their job???
Whilst players, managers, coaches and all others in football train daily to improve themselves, are accountable for the actions,must answer to the press & public for those in the elite category of the profession, however for the Referee "in charge" of elite players the only real change to that when he undertook local parks is that he know pays tax!
Football is the biggest in the World and worth trillions, yet most other professions have officials miked up, and technology to support them and as a result would suggest more professionalism, consistency and accuracy with decisions, whilst explanations reduce the farce we experience each game.
Due to lack of numbers at a parks level - the FA's protect these wannabee's who love the power trip and the easy £s and this is still allowed to continue at the highest level.
Whilst all do not agree with Jose (and many others) - he has a valid point as too often the ref's are winning & losing games for Clubs.Open ControlsIt was still a penalty.
Open ControlsYawn.
Open Controlsyeh easy £s goin out to be spat at and hated from every corner of the ground, vilified by the media, managers and self entitled armchair fans... goin home to death threats 🙄
Open Controls
Why don't you step up and do it then?
No thought not.Open Controls
Its a hard job being a referee, you don't get the benefit of replay's.
Open ControlsIt is - but at a pro level isn't there tools available to improve performance? Better use of a 4th official to confirm decisions??
Pro ref still the same as a parks ref - but only in football.Open ControlsWhen it comes to big decisions like penalties and offsides which lead to a goal they really should have an option to check a video replay like they do in Rugby. They waste loads of time consulting with another referee when that same time could be used to make the correct call with the benefit of a replay. I partly blame football fans for not wanting to part with their 'flowing football'.

What's the news on Rooney is he fit to start tomorrow?
Is that why people are getting him in already for the DGW? Because if he's not fit surely it's a rash move.Open Controls
The sooner Harry Kane is in the Championship the better.
Open ControlsLets' hope he has a long Spuds career then
Open Controls
Ramsey likely to start tomorrow?
Open Controlsid say so
Open Controls
So annoyed still that I benched Ward over Evra after several warnings from the community....deserve everything I get. :-/
Open ControlsAgreed, but sitting here on a Saturday night after a few pints, I'm feeling I would much rather have the 8pts in the bank especially as my rival had the luck of Boruc off the bench, and Vlaar off the bench if Silva doesn't play.
Open Controls
I switched Speroni with Adrian last minute. I do it all the time and more often than not I lose out.
Open ControlsOver the week, I must've asked the question 3 times and 90% was play Ward. The mass of the community proved right again.
Open Controls
Nice seeing Kaboul's goal. Used the whole goal.
Open Controls
Why? Hardly loads of big ego's there.
Only seems the way it does from the outside because of Sherwood's recent contraversial management style. Knows he's gone come the end of the season, so he probably doesn't give a shite.
All isn't going to be fine and dandy when your manager publicly says he doesn't trust his players...Open Controls

@TM: Yup, did the moves yesterday without being in total control of my senses. I prefer Ramsey over Eriksen, true but if i could go back 24 hrs i wouldn't get either.
Not sure what you're on about though. Possibly one of your hundred one line wind upsOpen Controls
Just did Noone to Ramsey 12 hours earlier. Make up your mind.
Go through your posts, the irony is there for all to see.Open ControlsNoone to Ramsey?
Same move here TM. Let's hope it pays offOpen ControlsI did it last night. By "just did" i was referring to last night. Not an accurate choice of words but irrelevant anyway
Open ControlsI did the same move, relax it will pay off, I'm on a roll with mids
first week owning Eriksen - 15
first week owning Nasri -10
first week owning Ramsey - ?Open ControlsBeing drunk was irrelevant too as you still thought it was the right move 12 hours later with your Eriksen guess.
Open ControlsRamsey over Erisen yes, it was the right move
Ramsey over Mata, no
Yup, we're still where we startedOpen Controls

This might be my team next week:
Mannone
Ward Chester Baines | Azpi Mariappa
Lallana Mata Silva Nasri
Aguero Rooney Suarez
Doing Lukaku>Rooney and Coleman>Mariappa probablyOpen ControlsYou guys think Eriksen will do well against West Ham (A) and Stoke (A)? They're good at home.
Open Controlswell he has the form with him for sure
Open ControlsYes.
Open ControlsEriksen loves the BAPS 😀
Open Controls
I'm fairly optimistic. Neither team has much to play for, could see the matches being fairly wide open, with lapses of concentration on set pieces 😉
Open Controls
Jedinak on the bench. Please don't come on for 4 minutes, Silva.
Open ControlsIf he doesn't start, have no fear

can kevin pietersen play for South Africa because he's sacked by England? and he's born in South Africa
Open ControlsDoubt it. Not for a while anyway plus they don't need him.

Peter Crouch running forward reminds me of an arthritic Giraffe.
Open ControlsI didn't mean to capitalize giraffes, even though they are ecologically important in the natural world, it was a grammatical error.
Open Controls
That seemed a penalty too.
Open Controls
a) no hit, play Distin away to Southampton and Lallana home to Everton. b) Lallana to Ramsey (-4). c) Lallana to Ramsey and Distin to Koscielny (-8)
Open ControlsUse your FT first.
Open Controls
Since I did AJ to Eriksen in GW33
AJ -5 points
Eriksen - 35 points
😎Open Controls
He's a great pick...Kicks, corners, always having a pop at goal, best pick since Cabaye.
Open Controlsit was you that helped convince me to get him with that handy table of yours, you and Doosra.
I had an instinct on him and you confirmed it
I'm looking forward to seeing what those table can bring me next seasonOpen Controls
It got me back close in mine after that first week, so obviously rival went and got him in.
Open ControlsI do normally, he plays the same way every year, just tries to make his team like the person closest to him below (last year he was nowhere) but I'm having a bad season (worst in 4 years) he's having his best ever as the casual picks keep delivering.
This is a guy who did -12 the GW after wc, then -8 the week after to swap them back, and went -4 this week to buy and sell Silva, yet I'm barely beating him, tells you how bad it is atm.Open ControlsI try to get in their heads also by picking fault with their good transfers to get them to sell them, or dropping hints about crap players
Loved it when one had front line of Campbell, saurez, jelavic couple weeks agoOpen Controlshe tries all sorts with me, hasn't worked out it doesn't work yet. he won't fall for that sort of stuff, but what he will fall for is false info on picks, so I recommend players to people knowing he'll over-hear them and buy, then quietly tell the other person not to get them.
Negredo for GW31 was a good oneOpen Controls
The kind people of fantasy football scout have confirmed Rooney is a must.
Who would you rather have for the run in- YAYA or Rooney.Open ControlsThe one who isn't currently injured. Plus Rooney has right-sided set-pieces and with RvP out, pens as well
