Itβs all over. Sergio Aguero seals the title for City in the most dramatic finale to a Premier League campaign thus far, with Unitedβs win at Sunderland proving ultimately inconsequential. For the final time this term, then, we roll out the Big Numbers, analysing the Gameweekβs most impressive performers and looking at those players most likely to receive the bonus points tomorrow. Roll on next season already.
What's going to happen with Pienaar now? Will Everton look to buy him back?
He has flourished in the 2nd half of the season, looks a real good prospect for next season if still there.Open Controls
Moyes wants him to stay. He wants to stay. Moyes meeting with Kenwright tomorrow to talk funds.
Open ControlsCheers, definitely on my watchlist for next season. Looks great value. Especially with Jelavic playing up front.

Won my ML with some luck. At half time it wasn't looking good. Won another iPad which I'll keep this time.Open ControlsNice. Always good to play in leagues where there is something at stake.
Open ControlsDid you end up winning?
Open ControlsYeah, by 23pts(pre bonus). Won +/- 60 pounds(R750). Would have been better if I did not do a -4pt hit to get Vdv and just played McClean though.

morning!
my season is not over until the CL final has been played
having said that, FPL season ends on upward note, with maybe 10 baps coming in, I might look at a finish close to the 10k mark (which is not bad after my 2,5mill gw rank last week)Open Controls
Poor Granville. Him forgetting(?) to do his trade this gw must really be a ball ache. Out of top 10k. Mark ending top 500.
I'm sure he will be back rested and motivated in August though.Open Controls
what was his trade? surely couldn't have been worse than me falling asleep and missing the deadline for the dgw when i was gunna do tevez walcott and sess out for jelly vdv and bale. that cost me big time! oh well first season so guess i'll just have to learn and do better next time

Wohoo! One 2nd prize in the "Jose Mourinho Rumor Madness", 2nd overall in the "Bonus Maestro" and 3rd in the "Salma Hayek Overnight" and "Terrorizing Traveler".
Only thing left is to see if I can beat Colehole in the match for 3rd place in the Knockout stages, seems like it will be decided on bonus points (!).
Either way, well done to you TW, ColeHole and especially ENR on putting all of this together! πOpen Controls
Similar situation for Spurs.
Chelsea win, and it will be the biggest robbery done to our club since Arsenal (then Woolwich Wanderers) bribed their way into the old 1st division on the expense of Tottenham.Open ControlsReply fail for the Nepali Chels above

It's a unfortunate by-product of the growing North-South economic division, I'm afraid.
This is even more pronounced in the lower leagues, where the increasing success of southern teams has meant that teams as far south as Bishop's Stortford and Gloucester City are both currently required to play in Conference North.Open Controls

Well done TM... gutted.. thought I had you after a few minutes.... Aguero knocked by belovered United off the title and killed my hopes of the ML... Good season, now i can get my life back. Congrats
Open ControlsSee you @ the Euros π
Open ControlsGreat end of season Hot Tip, got stressful there for the last month. I thought it was yours after the Spurs goal. The team in 3rd was leading at HT with all the possible CS about but Blackburn & QPR scored to change that somewhat. Time to recouperate for a few months until the next instalment of FPL. Hopefully there will be a few good changes next season. Crazy trading this week, 11.30 & got through.
Open ControlsThanks Jafalad, could have been better but ML took priority in the end. looking forward to the big break with some Euro watching to fill in the FPL gap. You did quite well after your slow start. π
Open Controls
Very Stressful.. Not sure what I will do with myself now.. On the plus side i still picked up $500 from two other leagues so not all bad.. I still had no idea what i was going to to at 11.28. Have fun with the ipad you wanted it this season didnt you? Lets hope they hide the transfers box next season so I dont know what you do!! π
Open ControlsCongrats on winning the other 2 leagues. I only have the one league to worry about really. You played it as well as possible considering the circumstances, Tevez surprised me though. Thought you would captain Aguero & hope your better differentials would get you home. I will keep the iPad this time & have some fun with it. The transfers section really takes away from the FPL game, wish it wasn't there in future or at least the team value section. Btw say hello to Curnel & Birdman. π
Open Controlshaha you clever man! I even got up at 4.30am to post once to avoid you.
How did you know?
Well Aguero did cross my mind but i had to do Tevez or Aguero so you wouldnt captain RVP too and Tevez was more differential all or nothing.. so a 4 point hit was a must unfortunatley...Open ControlsNani last week really stuffed you up this week. Dempsey out sorta helped you in it's own way too.
I wake up early most days, no link sorta gave it away plus seeing my team. π

Beating you & your brother last season is funny in it's own way. Can't see myself getting the treble next season though.Open Controlslol.. maybe ill post earlier next season ha! How about the Birdman though?
I was also Aguerolicious who told you VDV would get 2 π
Yeah i regret that decision.. took up alot of cash too..Open ControlsBirdman had the same pic lol. I remember the Ag post too. I regret getting Rooney last week but glad it didn't cost me the ML. Really should have got Boyce over Kelly last week too.
Open ControlsHaha good eye! I think I will have to step it up next season then! I had a feeling the grav might have done it.. I was pretty close to buying Rooney this week too because you got rid..were you considering captaining rvp if i didnt change my striker?
Open ControlsNext season I will probably have a bad season & not even be up the top. This grav didn't give anything away. Rooney playing away was a turn off as he normally plays deeper. You would have struggled big time with other trades due to his price. Aguero was always my captain this week regardless. It was up to you to go for a differential in captaincy.
Open ControlsYour grav was very easy to find. You were a bit quieter than usual this week.. But I knew you were always going roo to aggy. Yes the price put me off and when demps became injured it made it harder. None of the other mf I was going to buy did anything anyway. Pienaar won you te league I think.. That 1 week early was a good move I think.
Open ControlsI was talking about your grav. My trade was super obvious once Rooney failed. I really thought about taking a hit for VDV but decided that Everton had to win it for me. Wish I played Pienaar over Sess when playing MU away. Really wish I didn't get Bale as VDV was a great differential for the rest of the ML. Always struggling with team value forced me into Jelly & Pienaar.

The Manchester City-QPR game was fixed. City paid Barton some Abu-Dhabi money to get himself sent off.
Open ControlsSee Barton saying he only tried t kick and headbutt people in a hope they would retaliate and be sent off with him. Think reality was he just lost the plot
Open Controls
Check back last nights comments, I've already labelled it the greatest conspiracy theory of all time. I fully believe that the 'Sheik ' got to him and gave him a few pieces of silver and that over the summer langer will blab ( cos he can't keep his mouth shout) and the title will e awarded to united on the grounds of match fixing.

Snigger. What's your feeling on the moon landings?
Open ControlsWe were beating City until Fergie time, with 10 men.
Maybe, if United had shown the same fight against City home and away you'd have title number 20 now.
And if anyone should know about stoppage time winners it should be the fan of a team that has built its trophy cabinet because of them.Open Controls
If it was anyone except Barton You might have a case... but he's a seriously nasty piece of work & doesn't need bribing to act like a thug and get himself sent off...
he was just doing what comes naturally to him... like the time he stubbed a cigar out on the face of a trainee during a night out... or when he punched a team-mate in the back of the head during training and then kicked him when he was on the floor...Open Controls
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the laughs and the help! GREAT season. What an ending. What an amazing sport and what an amazing league. USA news won't have 1 second of recap and highlights in what has got to be the most memorable moment in football history in my lifetime as a fan. Congrats to my club Arsenal on another CL spot...hope Arsene gets brave and spends some cash this summer but my hopes are slim. Top 10k! Im happy with it. Thanks again and see you all next season!!!

This waiting for BP makes for a rather anticlimactic end to the season. I'm sitting here hoping that Rooney, Bale, Petrov and Siggy don't get the 4 points between them which would pull my rival into the lead in my mini league. Not expecting Valencia, HBA, Caulker and Evra to get any for me.
Open ControlsCaulker & Evra are possibilities. I can't see 4 points from his 4. 3 max for Rooney.

Anyone hear what Richards said to langer as he was heading for tunnel, " we'll done mate, but be careful we don't want to make it look to obvious "
Open ControlsFor next year im just hoping they dont make anymore backward changes.
The bonus system they tinkered with last year was a bad move , the wait is very anticlimactic
There are rumours of extra transfers being available next season , which would be even worse , any attempts to make the game less challenging would be a backward move, adding the january wildcard was bad enoughOpen Controlsagree with this. despite the Jan Wildey helping me quite a bit, getting my season back on track, it makes the game more stale with "everyone" in the top 20k with a chance to "reboot" their squads to the current "template team".
Dour stuff really. I'd much rather prefer a system like that Mark suggested. A couple of extra transfers throughout the season.Open ControlsI hope it stays the same. Boni were relatively tangible and the Monday morning annoucements gave us all something to look forward to.
Open Controls+1
After hating it at the start it was nice to have the boners being based on some physical stats(although we had no clue how it works!).
The wait post games wasn't great, but I suppose that's the price to pay when so many numbers are to be crunched.
The v/c rule was a nice change after all our complaining last season. The 2nd WC is a pain, but I think it's prob here to stay. I can't see much changing really.Open Controls
