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.

Will Beausejour be listed as a defender next season? I think he will stay as a mid but be has been playing as a part of a 5 man defence so we can only hope.
Would be an amazing pickupOpen Controls -
Morning after....
Because of my mini-league situation, I had to take some risks for final gw and surprise surprise it didn't work out well.
I managed to slip out of top 10k π
Funny how your memory works, it's quite easy to remember where it all went wrong....here's a short list of my sad stories;
1. gw3: not captaining rooney
result: 20 points down the toilet and signs for my season are there to be seen....
2. gw20: after lot of tinkering, decided to go vdv, bale, ade and leave bae for wiser men
result: I suppose about 20 points lost there too
3. gw33/36: first gw33 didn't notice skrtl price fall and ended 0.1 short to get vermaelen in
then gw36 believed my gut (and tosey too π ) and took vermaelen in then, instead of common sense choise terry.
result: 20-35 points lost there
4. Don't remember what gw it was, but mancini went rotation crazy (silva and agu out) and "everybody else" got good points from their bench (caulker etc) and wc, I got red cared sessegnon and wc that got 1 or 2 points.........
Conclusion: hopefully next season I manage to make those crusial decisions correctly again and then boys, I'll be coming back where I belong - top 1K that is π
Congrats to all of you who had a good season and for the rest, there's always next season!Open Controls -
Very hungover after a great day at The Hawthorns yesterday and nearly £400 richer after winning my cash mini leagues!

File under "Interesting, if true": the German tabloid Bild is saying that Ferguson & Phelan weren't only in Berlin for the German Cup final to observe Kagawa and Lewandowski, but also a third Dortmund player - central defender Mats Hummels. Hummels' father and advisor, Hermann, was apparently invited to Manchester recently for discussions.

With everything sewn up and 38th in the world, I took a maverick 16pt hit at one last punt to break top 10, figuring that if at least one of my transfers did well I'd still stay top 100. Turns out all my punts were complete failures, and BPs will see me drop out of top 100 π Bit of a downer to the end of the season really, I guess when the ML cash rolls in it'll all seem well again.
Open Controls-
Unlucky Jim, but a fantastic season nonetheless
I was 5.7K coming into the GW, took a similarly maverick 8 pointer to try my luck knowing full well it probably wouldn't pay off, but I wasn't too fussed about my ranking though - seeing as it wasn't that great anyway!
Only just logged in to see the damage after yesterdays events..
Good luck next season.Open Controls

One of my leagues is down to the baps now.
Him : Pienaar + Rooney + Terry
Me : Aguero + Jelavic + 2 points.
It will be him I think. πOpen Controls-

That is very tight!
I hope its Terry and Aguero 3 bonus each. Then tis down to who gets the 3 and the 2 between Jelavic and Pienaar - if its Jelavic, then you will win imo.
Who has made fewer transfers?*
*I disagree with this method of ranking. Making more transfers costs points already, so to be doubly disadvantaged seems silly. Something like "goals scored" would be better.Open Controls-
-
Well I could definietly see it coming down to transfers!
Rooney: 3
Pienaar: 2
Jelavic: 3
Terry: 3
Aguero: 3
Very, very close. VDV might have cost.Open Controls

I'd say him. I'm in a similar position.
Me:- Aguero(c), Jelly, Terry, VDV + 1point
Him:- VDV(c), Rooney, Ade
I'm hoping I sneak it.Open Controls-
-
Lol. I wish. Dont really see it though - playing only 59 minutes has gotta hurt PPI, though I suppose the fact that Defoe scored the 2nd goal and only played 31 minutes will help a bit. 1 bonus for VDV for be legendary!
I agree Pienaar 3, Jelavic 2, but it could be the other way around, and you could sneak in. Difficult thoughOpen Controls

Took a silly 8 pointer to end the season with some fun which damaged my rank, but who cares!
Arsenal to the CL π
Can't wait for next season, and when I think about it, it isn't even that long with Euro's and rugby to keep me entertained until then.
Thankyou to the Scouts for the fantastic articles - I've already decided I'm going to get a Paypal account and become a member next season.

Just when I thought I couldnt hate Harry Redknapp any more, he hauls VDV (my captain) off on 59 minutes 30 seconds. Those 4 points are going to cost me big time.
Last year Lescott scored a freak goal on the final day, causing me to lose by 6 points.
This is why I hate this game. LolOpen Controls

Well Klose was Germany's highest goalscorer in Q's and I think Ozil did ok-ish with goals and assists.
Things is Ozil is nailed on while Klose might lose some gametime with Gomez in the mix. At 10mill Ozil surely isn't a bad bet vs Klose/Gomez(11.5?)
I can't see Portugal keeping a CS in first fixture vs Germany.Open Controls
